any chance of trading out any other scoring NPRs so you can get Haas as an AE? I forgot RnT's team as well - just checked and he has J.Hopoate who has played so no chance of picking up Haas' score...

(a) Fotuaika or
(b) Fermor

Cheers.

Who'd you end up going with?

Only have 1 trade left.

Could trade CLune to get Fermor's 49 as AE

But I also have Papalii so last trade probably spent on him after lockout


Actually, scratch that, Albert Hopoate's 6 already added in for AE

In FFL2 2nd v 3rd saw me down Dttragic2016 by a whopping 1 point, 1211 v 1210. Dt did the captain loop to bring in Haas's score which was a major worry from me until the AE for original captain end up being 6 points from Albert Hopa.

Despite leaving Mofo in my NPR this week, I managed to pull off another win in the Eliminator. Very surprised to have got this far, but we'll see where it ends. Scored 1208 which seems solid for the round.

Nice work Teeth. I get pretty excited just managing to go 3 deep into Eliminator

It might just be coincidence, but I think your opponent is an old Sportal poster who used to kill it year in year out.

Great work Teeth.

Did well this week with 1,254 - up to 48th overall. Not going to catch the top teams, but hoping to push a little higher in the last couple of weeks...

Thanks fellas. Pretty stoked as this is my first crack at this format so it's a nice start.

Although this sounds like discouraging news for my chances in this round.

Geez. Slim pickings for my last bench spot this week, Paix, McIntyre or Oates. Pretty bummed Oates came back as a winger - he had a couple of good games as a 2nd rower before his injury. Maybe with Coates on the bench, Oates moves into the second row to allow him some game time on the wing.... wishful thinking perhaps....

Haha yeh fucking Hopoate. Well done though mate. Hoping to finish the season strong and grab a top 50 finish (think I'm in the 60s atm from memory).

Think I'm going to stall around current rank of 21st

Feeling foolish having traded out RTS a few weeks back before his big run

Peachey comes in for Ponga(Via Mann) and will be taking an auto for Papy(likely Farnworth or Asi)

If Teddy is a late out I imagine a few will be coping zeros

I;m using my last trade to get DCE in for Brown.

I have enough cover at WFB so hopefully ted is a late out.

Shiba gets another run this week with Ponga out. Will save my trades until I NEED need them

Zachery Fuckmax, you fucking dunce. More than likely just cost me my Eliminator dream. I'd actually started off nicely and handsomely outscored him in three from three first players, but Fuckmax has well and truly undone that with his -2. Balls.

Anyway, will see how the rest plays out.

He's gone for boom or bust captain David Fifita, so that is also going to be very telling. I went Haas. Hoping for a big upswing my way there or I may be toast.

Looking deeper, he does have Ferguson on 10 and Papalii on 28 so maybe there's still hope...

How's it looking mate? Did you play Talakai?

Well done Ben Welshy too good for me mate. I out in straight sets in League 1. Good luck to those remaining... and anyone that still happens to be alive in the Eliminator all the best

Yeah mate, played Talakai and actually ended up having a pretty big win. The Lomax thing ended up not being too big a deal as he had to play Fergo's 10 anyway.

So, looks like I live to fight another week. I still have a trade left but the last few weeks of this and SC seem to be more about picking the best of a bunch of pretty sexy looking bench options Just trying to make sure I pick the best of a solid bunch.

You scored the best of the final 8 which should means you play the worst scorer (I think) and they don't have the Ponga and Papy to bring back into their team. That looks good for you.

And Milch knocked me out of eliminator but the revenge is knocking him out of No Worries league.
