Good call, I think I will bring in Barnett. It will leave me with one trade left and 170k in the bank so gives me flexibility when I use my final trade.

I went Lolo to Matterson.  He racked up points so easily last week.  Got a bit of coverage so a risk worth taking I think.

In trouble in the eliminator with Lomax and SST scoring low. Decided I needed a massive POD so brought in Edwards.

Me: 70 + Edwards + JFH

Them: Mann + TEisenhuth + DCE + Papalii

EagleStars Killing me in No Worries league. Reckon them Stars might go close best score this round.

Vs Quicksand in L1 it's my DCE vs Bateman +10. After 2 weeks of 1 or 2 point losses I can see another one in my future

Don't want to get ahead of myself, but early signs are that I'm looking okay in my Eliminator this week. Hope I don't jinx it.

Major point of difference at the moment is that he didn't have Teddy. I have and 200 point lead, 3 left vs his 5 tomorrow so hoping nothing crazy happens.

One thing I'm pretty disappointed about this week is that I traded out Joliffe for Welch, leaving me with one last trade left. Just didn't need to be done. In SC I held Joliffe and wish I'd just done the same here. Impatient prick.

Alright I’m going to need things to go my way tomorrow. He needs 73 or more from DCE and Papalii to win.

In the words of the Joker to Batman "why would I kill you ? You're just too much fun !"

27 for DCE made it not even a contest lol

Really comfortable victory in my Eliminator this weekend. Nice. I live to fight another week.

Out of the eliminator by a few points
Mansour 80th min try was the difference

No Worries, Bullbenders and NRLFFL1 Leagues still filling 3 of the top 4 places in league rankings

Well, my overall aspirations took a hit this week, a last minute Captain change from Tedesco to Carrigan hurt....985 and dropped 15 places to 35th overall. Bah.

But league finals time. Fire up!!! Damn we have some strong teams in our league!

Am I missing something - Api to M Kenny in order to free up cash to buy Cleary. Kenny will be a solid start for the next 4 weeks yeh?

Api is back this week

Think I'll hold my last trade this week. SJ being out is proving a bit of a pain.

1 trade for me, Latrell>Peachey to cover Yeo at centre

Depth looking good with a reserve bench of Cook, Twal, AFB, JTurbo and Haas back into the fold. George Williams, SJ, Fermor and Farnworth outside the 17 if the going gets tough

Covering Yeo with Shiba for the week, saves a trade.

Forgot to set my team here, so have Haas as NPR and Yeo as starting CTR

Bit annoying as its going to cost me in the rankings

Who would you pick as last reserve:
(a) Fotuaika or
(b) Fermor

Cheers.
