If you think I have your score wrong let me know, I did stuff up Jumping Marlin's AEs last week.

Hi Milch,
I think my score should be 790.

You may have missed my final trades post on Fri 10th Apr at 12:07pm !

Not a bad score. So many rocks and diamonds though.

Thanks for the help with the tv lads, but unfortunately mines way too old. My cheapness biting in the ass right now lol.

For those interested, there are virtual racing series happening for both Australian Supercars series and Indycars, with the races being shown online. McLaughlin is leading Supercars and came 2nd in eIndycar at the weekend.

The next race is Supercars on Wednesday night at 7pm AEST on Supercars.com

Pretty happy with that one, top 4 in the round and into top 8 overall.

Got 3 main trade out targets at this point; Benji, Hunt and Menzies.

Looking to hopefully get Hindy and Douglas in pending cash.

Its impressive how far simulators have come that top drivers can jump in and it be nearly identical for them.

Do you know if the pedals have the same weight feedback on the simulators as in real life?

Penrith 13 (T. Puletua, R. Wesser tries; P. Campbell 2 goals; P. Campbell field goal) defeated St George Illawarra 12 (R. Simmonds, A. Sims tries; A. Gorrell 2 goals)

No more centuries.

Aaron Gorrell cracked a 50 as a starter. How long do dragons play Young in the halves though?

Like Thurston, Gasnier came back to earth with a 36

Andrew Price, what a shitto

Was a pretty basic rule in hindsight “never pick a guy you’ve never heard of”

Turning Price into Douglas I think leapfrogs any of Gun and middies upgrades

That's why I got Andrew Price out this week. Next up Ben Jones

Sounds like a few of you chaps played Fantasy back in this era. One of my first and most confident picks in this comp was Matt Bowen. I assumed he'd be a sure thing. Is he one of those good real life players that never translated to fantasy? Only two weeks but surprised at how shit he's scored and wondering if it's time to move on or give him one last chance. Price tag suggests he must have been decent once?

I don't remember Bowen's fantasy scorer but I do remember him as a player. He's a gun.
In this Supercoach-style game, players will fluctuate in price and scores. Up to you whether you think its worth holding Bowen for him to hit some big scores or ditch him before he loses too much value.

Yeah I picked a bunch of gun hookers and cheapie forwards like it’s NRL fantasy scoring. Absolutely rooted.

Scored nearly a try a game last season so perhaps priced a bit overs. Was an origin player and consistent strong performer for the cows so I don't expect him to be a super dud pick but might lose a bit of value if he's not scoring tries.

Also Schifcofoske and Hodgson are top level guns who both scored around 25 in the first round.

I think I know one of my trades but i'm stuck on Lockyer.

Thurston
Johns
Soward
Campbell

Your thoughts? I'm leaning towards Thurston

I rechecked and I’m not one short, score is accurate

I would go Johns for his consistency or Soward if you're looking for a cheaper option. Ideal double gun is probably looking like JT and Johns at this stage.

Yes, chaps, it's a pickle. I think I'm going to struggle to get rid of him over others because he's probably going to be the most likely to sting me with a massive score if I do show him the door. But jeez he better do something for that price tag asap.

Based on FB scores so far - I've probably missed some - but they've pretty much all been terrible without scoring tries, I think, so probably just need to weather the storm of shitness and hope for some tries.

Note that El Masri and Matt Sing both had their price rises capped at $100k despite theoretically earning more than that.

Next week will run 2 NRL rounds on the 1 weekend.

Will start a new thread tomorrow for trades

Saturday youtube game of the round will be Newcastle vs Bulldogs from round 3.

Legend Milch. Thanks mate
