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.  

Hmmm, interesting. I hadn't noticed that, but you're right. He doesn't have Ponga or Pappy. I wonder how many trades he has left. And I wonder who's going to be out this week...

Best FRF/2RF worth $563k or less for final trade in?

I have Fifita and Papalii

Thinking Murray, Tino, Taupau, AFB as a shortlist.
Anyone else who might go big the last 2 weeks?

JFH

1 trade left might go Mann to Tommy Turbo because I don't want to play Kennedy or HTF & Mann is suspended....wacko saying he's running at full speed at training & looking good.

I would if I could. I don't have enough cash to do it, so have to play HTF this week.

I only have 16 available (+ 1 trade) so deliberately playing short 1 CTR and bringing in an extra forward

Would be awesome strategy if it wasn't for my 17th man and AE being Adam Clune

Brought in Campbell Graham for my last trade. Was a bit nervous about it but turned out pretty good with a handsome 62 so far. Would have been immense if he'd got that second try down. But anyway, it's a nice start.

That was a great decision. I was tossing up between him and Edwards and went with Edwards cuz well...Panthers.

24 hours to decide if I loophole Cook's VC score. Ordinarily 73 would be easy, but I can also see Cleary going big

Spent my last trade while drunk on Papy>Turbo

Let's hope for a big last few weeks from Tommy

How are you travelling Teeth?

Don't want to jinx it, but travelling pretty good so far. Looks like the guy I'm playing has got caught out with a few injuries and lack of trades and has had to roll out Asi (12) and Funa (10) so far. It's going to hurt my SC score (not that that concerns me at all) but Nofo's 9 is massive for me too. For one of his boom or bust choices to bust hard, that's definitely worked out well for me. Talakai sitting on 42 at half time is looking pretty nice for me too.

He's got a strong front and back row going in to tomorrow (Papalii, Klem, Friz and Tohu), as well as wildcard Ramsey. I have Bateman, Tevaga and Ponga. Should have a decent points lead by then too.

Don't want to get ahead of myself, but looking nice... for now.

A guy at my wife's work who I've been chatting with this year throughout the SC season brought in and captained Turbo. Poor bastard.

Yep thought I would double down so grabbed him in SC and captained him

Best of luck mate. Post the points after updates tonight if you don't mind so we can ride you home! Although understandable if you don't thinking you might jinx it.

Okay, here it is:

Me - 665
Tevaga
Bateman
Ponga

Him - 473
Papalii
Harris
Ramsey
Klemmer
Frizell

Thanks for the well wishes too.

Got home with another solid victory. Happy with Campbell Graham's score this week but wondering if using my last trade last week was the best move. I have SJ, Tevaga, Welch and Bateman. I haven't caught up with any NRL news, but I know SJ's gone, at least. Not sure if Welch is still out this week, and Tevaga and Bateman both looked to have injury/HIA concerns. Plus I have the likes of Cleary and Cook (probably not after that dismal loss this week?) who I guess could be candidates for a rest this week?

Going to be interesting to see how the other fella lines up and if we have similar concerns. Obviously I never had any expectation whatsoever to get to this point, and things have suddenly become very tense in my head.

Well done Teeth!

My only positive this year is I'm in the final for the NRLFF league against 'The Usual Suspects'. I've had a couple of terrible rounds and dropped from the top 20 to 50th or so overall.
