    Oh, and struggling to beat an inactive team in L1 this round - good times!

    Origin is at the end of the season, why would you have avoided them for that reason lol

    Currently sitting 669 with 5 to come plus 48 for B Siro as an EMG for Matto.

    Rank has blown out from 669 last round to mid 2000's although hoping to gain a few back today. Seems a long way from a high of 69 not too long ago though and don't see the bleeding being stopped unfortunately.

    I was against that team a few weeks ago in L1 and thought I was going to lose at one point when they had Leilua 100 and Walters 70+ along with Haas captain, when my team was struggling that round

    For me, its more the trades I didn't make than the ones I did. Either refusing to bring in Lomax and Mann and watch them week after week prove me wrong, or waiting one week too long for a fallen gun to bounce back and missing a Teddy or a Lolo on the way back up.

    If you were to create a check list to avoid stupid trades, what would be on it?

    I'd say, pay attention to job security.

    In my initial team setup, pre-covid I meant. I try and avoid too many origin players in my initial team selection, and trade hard through the usual mid-season origin period to make up heaps of ground. Usually a sound tactic but I didn't adjust quick enough this season (or at all) once origin was shifted. Live and learn and next time there is a worldwide pandemic I'll be better prepared. affraid

    There's no such thing as a reliable centre. If you have 2 fit ones on any particular week then pick and stick. It's unlikely your centre "upgrade" is actually an upgrade when even the top tier players score single digits sometimes. Every year it's the same shit and I never learn 😂

    I'm currently regretting brining in matterson a few weeks ago. To the point where I'm tempted to panic trade him to CS9 before today's game.

    Ah last year we were spoilt with Nikora/Bateman set and forget.

    Rolled the dice with Xerri and Lomax for a fair few weeks though waiting to get Bateman in.

    Wondering about nico hynes still in the storm 19. Does he drop out of the squad, bench utility or possibly a starter ?  He can play numerous positions.

    I’m not going well either mate, we are both in the same boat. I have had a good last few weeks but this week is a shocker.

    I thought Aubbo was playing at centre mate therefore played Crichton over him and I was at work so didn’t see final team lists and of course Aubbo plays second row bloody Robbo gggrrrr, so I lost 22 points there. Also I have Captained Teddy the last 3 weeks which is my fault but I honestly thought he’d go better against the Titans.... then I had Murray, Taupau and Lucy all go under 50. By the sounds of it MoFo as well didn’t get his tackle busts again....

    Not owning Taumalolo or DCE hurt me as well.

    I’m 14/853 with Ponga, Pap and Pearce to come, feels well off the pace. Definitely a fair rankings drop for me this this week.

    I ended up going Young to Randall as well so hopefully Randall goes well today.

    At least I have Aubbs in my emergencies as well so I can play him over S
    Crichton next week.

    I’ll be looking at Taumalolo or Bateman next week, have to pick one.

    I will play him for sure at centre.

    Should I bring in Taumalolo or Bateman next week?

    Who goes for one of them though, Lucy or MoFo?

    Don’t worry @wolfking we can both cry together after this round! Maybe open a cold one drowning our sorrows.

    I think Shady2K might have a bigger amount. We had similar amounts when I first went through the injury curse and then I think I've come out the other side. To be fair, like some others, some injuries have benefitted me in getting other guns, but not great when you keep trading keepers due to injury.

    In hindsight probably would have saved a few of luxury trades with this unusual season

    Haha glad my misery has been noticed Laughing Little trip down memory lane:

    Injuries/leave/suspension
    - Fifita
    - Shibasaki
    - Aubusson
    - Williame
    - Capewell
    - T Trbojevic
    - Katoa
    - Twal
    - Munster (in the round I buy him)
    - Moses (injured same round as Munster)
    - Koroisau
    - Crichton
    - McCullough
    - Latrell
    - Niu
    - Fermor (dropped if that counts)
    - Leilua (sold under injury cloud)
