Have they given Brimson his try save back yet?

46 mate. Can't see that stat on the NRL app.

I rate this comment. I agree match ups don't rate highly on my agenda except for centres. I need some sort of criteria to sort through the shit that is the centre position.

905 with Ponga and Talau to go. Don't know what to do about Siro this week. Only have 120K in the bank and 4 trades. Kind of fucked really.

Aubs+194 is probably 640-650k. If you don’t need at CTR, then Reynolds will be in range. Or Munster if fit.

Aubs+95k for me, which is a trickier proposition. Thinking Brimson as a 17th man and WFB cover.

Arey will be close. Could be just short but if not was definitely on my mind

If I leave Fox on, I'm going to be watching and listening to hours of talk about biting aren't I?

I was personally cheering for a send off because a) biting is abhorrent and b) the refs are usually too gutless to do it.

But Fox are super bottom feeders.

Thanks. He's 43 on MTB site. Maybe got TS back minus a negative

I'd say it's time to let it go mate.

Really gone downhill this year. Actual game coverage is as good as ever, minus Andy Raymond, but the post game chat has been sensationalism all year.

854/14c.

With the short time window between Cows and Broncos I decided Herbie and Talau over HTF. One win there, one to go hopefully. Captain Haas. Ponga, DCE and Talau to go. Seems about average so far, so hopefully about par.

True, loved how SJ put 'em in their place!

Will see how he goes tomorrow, but I'd already pencilled Siro to Brooks in before Siro played this weekend. Hoping it looks like a good move.

I'm an Aubo owner with 3 trades and 6k left, I'm more screwed than Tori Black.

My options are looking like use 2 trades to get a 17th man for under 630k, 1 trade on an option like Dearden or no trades if Fermor takes Proctor's place.

This is dread man, truly dread.

I think the game coverage is going the same way. Vossy, who I usually really rate, spent the last half hour of the Roosters game speculating about Keary and near enough conducting his funeral. Same thing happened with the Naden and Proctor "stories" - it's more about creating a news line for the studio than watching the game.

Also I can't stand Dan Ginnane's delayed say-what-you-see commentary style and constant upward inflection. And then there's Blocker.

I think I disturbed the whole neighbourhood when this happened!! My heart was pounding through my chest. Before the game I said to my Souths mates let’s just get the 2 points and get out of that joint, but I didn’t mean for it to be that stressful!

The game was no doubt great to watch as a neutral but I spent most of the game walking up and down the hallway cursing, you don’t wanna know what I was saying........ being a Latrell owner as well was very hard, errors in there and when he got the ball off a kick passes to AJ or Paulo instead of himself returning the ball where he’d actually get us starting our set on the front foot.

I have to hold Latrell now but geez it’s stressful being an owner, rocks or diamonds zero inbetween.

Mick Ennis is the one that annoys me the most.
Obviously Blocker, Brandy and Anasta are terrible, but the way Ennis tries to take control and talks over the top of everyone, annoys me no end. Once he starts talking he just doesn’t shut up.

Stressful? Try being a Cowboys fan when your team can't be bothered having any line speed or defensive effort whatsoever when the opposition is 90m away with a minute to go and you let them go 80m! Fucking appalling. Well done to your mob I suppose.

So I’m guessing that if I still have 5 to play (Jurbo, DCE, Ponga, Luciano and Mann), and Starlings 41 to loop in, that I should make some reasonable advances up the rankings.
I’ve dropped around 350 spots so far to 467 so I’m hoping to make them up tomorrow.
With Starling added I’m 12/710 (captain Haas).

Fucking fat cunt Havilli standing in the line denying Wightons try cost me 450 dollars from a 10 dollar multi.

Anyone got the raiders head office address. I am sending him an invoice.

You know what Chucky? You are right! When he first started (commentating) I was like, this guy sees the game right, Blocker's an idiot, Braith's an idiot, but this guy has insight. And he does. But he talks over everyone and repeats the same thing over. I'm surprised despite being mates, Corey hasn't smashed him, haha!

Also, is it mandatory for commentators to repeatedly use the words "really" and "fatigue"? Or only if they pronounce them "Rooly" and "F'toigh"?
