me and SI too from a quick glance.  SST was a good pick though.  

Thought others might have picked Barnett.  Will be watching him fly head first out of the line with my hands covering my eyes all game...

Love Barnett but he’s fucked me over the years mate. Too much of a lunatic, plus I went value in 2RF with some starters

I did look at Boyd. for a second.

Barnett was deadset first picked in my squad. Was all over him. But then I listen to a bunch of podcasts through the week and I know they speak a lot of shit, but one of them was saying how it looked like he picked up some kind of injury last week. Made a bit of a point of it. Probably absolutely nothing to it, but it was enough for me to just go with someone else for this challenge.

I quite like my smokey in Talakai.

I had Haas for a while but RCG been playing over 70 minutes lately and killing it and Tauk had so many out with GK so went cheaper. Funnily enough was to get Teddy who then as discussed above, had his lowest score I can ever remember! Win some, lose some

Indeed. Nailed it with Tauk, though. Good points to have in the bank.

And then you realised you prefer making good decisions.

Barnett was nursing his arm/shoulder pretty early on last week. I thought he was gone, or would at least be subbed, but was ripping in again a short while later.

Must've just been a burner I guess.

I think Jelejasof might be hoping for a late withdrawal too with Olakau’atu killing it.

Seriously. Picked the wrong Manly 2RF to start.

Status Fri Night Pre Updates

Great work JM.

Taupau typo for Mulvy's team gave him a 0, not that it would go unnoticed for long.. unless he's having an all-weekend binge drinking session

Thanks, I knew I was 1 out due to a typo somewhere.

Whoops, apologies, JM, didn't see you'd gone with Haas too. Haas and McInnes... very nice. Looks like you got yourself a very nice looking squad there, cob.

Thanks for the chart too. Very good.

Well not all weekend

I guess being 1 of only 3 that didn’t pick Ponga, is going to be a bit of a problem.

Sat night update.  
MS the one to beat

Well this is very delicately positioned going into tomorrow. MS & Marlin looking likely, but still glimmers of hope elsewhere. With Moses out of the equation (bar Mulvy) looks like I'm relying on a handful of mid-rangers to keep my hopes alive. Can't say any of those guys fill me with any confidence whatsoever, but who knows... hoping for some magic.

One game to go. Pre updates (and haven't checked Sat games for updates)

Anyone who had Ponga still in the hunt. Anyone with teddy is gone

Brimson brings Wolfking into serious calculations.

Talakai and Hamlin not looking like they're going to bring it home for this guy. Need some sneaky tries, I believe.

Think I'm home bar a 70+ from Nathan Brown
