It gives me great sadness to let everyone know that round 5 is Andrew Price's last game in the NRL, ever.

A 4 year, 39 game career comes to an end. We would never have remembered him if not for this comp.

Any other injury updates wanted, let me know

Just seeing this now!!

Big news in the flashback fantasy.

Sorry lads. Habit. Deleted

Instincts tell me I’m off my head not following this Tupou move... Bit smelly that it’s more popular than min priced Payne Haas was in the real thing! That said, I just can’t field a First-13 unless I get a FRF, 2RF or CTR as my cashout enabler, so here goes;

Jamie Soward & Dallas Johnson OUT
Jonathan Thurston & Tony Martin IN

Welshy, you like a bit of Tongue anywhere! Remember this is 2006 not 2020. No 80 min forwards or hookers so bench start are not really a problem. The highest money earner on my team has only started one game

Does anyone know who would spell McGuire at hooker? Should get reasonable game time now you would think.

Fitzhenry playing number 6 too for Benji. Dunno if that's a good or bad thing for fantasy but will take it.

Milch, who were the 3 players added to the spreadsheet round 3? Gattis?

NVM, found them. Gattis, Jason Williams and Peter Lewis

I was looking at the team trying to work it out. Maybe that Ian Lacey I've never heard of?

@Milchcow injury report on Kimmorley please

Shane Perry back from injury & starting. Grant Rovelli starting as well.

Ok so I need a half and looks like the goal kicking Orford is it.

Soward to Orford
FFMM to Tupou

Means I'll have round 5 and while I'll have 17 r6 now I have to guess which winger will score a try.

I see Rocky is on the bench for Wests in round 6...will he be calling Adriannnnnnnnnn

Legit stuck for a cheap option this week for the 2nd trade. I don't really want to grab Tupou, because I already have seven WFBs, so need some positional depth. Isemonger looks good on paper, but I don't remember much about him at the Dragons, and I support the Dragons. So not sure he'll last.

Who cares about depth? You can have eight in your starting 17 not play and still field 17 scorers. You just want the best.

Could I please have injury updates on Hodges and Fitzgibbon

What hope have I got of beating you in H2H when you have a 25 man squad

The 2006 POD Champion of Champions: Round 2

The week where Hazem El Masri scored 4 tries, 126 points and jumped from being in 12 teams to being in 16 teams (and now a Too-Popular player) - congrats if you didn't own him, you get a bonus POD point!  

Round 2's top 8 POD's and the bottom 4 are:



Congrats to the two owners of the great Shane Webcke, and to some great POD's this round including too Willies (Zillman & Mason) and a Tuimavave.

After taking out the title last week, Paul Whatuira's slumps to a lowly 17 and takes out second spot for worst value POD of the round, well edged out by all round nice guy and occassional face stomper Billy Slater.

Kimmorley sprained ankle 4-6 weeks

Ha yes.

I also think its a bit more complicated than just get the best 17 you can, at least at this point. If you've got some duds in your current squad you'd like to avoid scoring altogether you need to be a bit mindful about positions to block them out.
