DarkKnight you are next.

Nice work mate! I went from 86 to 102. I'll leapfrog you next week

1041 and lost about 80 spaces. Whose more urgent trade? Sironen... or Lucy?? I am predicting a massive slide down the ranking these last 3 weeks.. goodbye top 100.

Lost the first round of the L6 finals after finishing in first.

Not sure how MTB does it every year.

As it turned out, Harry Grant's injury was a blessing in disguise for my team. I was all set to sell Fogarty that week (had already made the trade and reversed last minute to trade Grant out). Since then he's averaged 64.8. Have had plenty of bad luck, so will take the good when it comes.

Remember when getting 1,000+ was a big thing? Now I feel slightly disappointed by 1,152....it was all green fields around here when I was a lad.

Great scores all round this week fanatics...well done

Ended up on 1133 & lost 1 ranking spot from 628 to 629. With no Haas I'll take that although with 1 trade left I'm considering bringing him in for B. Hunt if Brittain remains in the 17 with Vaughan back this week.

You said it Aardvark.
1100 the new 1k.

It's only Tedesco, Cleary, Moses, Ponga and Pearce who will be playing finals football. Given the jostling for positions it might not be until the last round that any of those get a freshen up, if at all.

Obviously Ponga ~may~ miss this week, if he does I'll just #ridewithHTF

I'd be more worried about teams unable to make the top 8 planning mad Monday early.

1067 and dropped 297 spots. Fuck this game with the rough end of a pineapple.

With Broncos not playing until Saturday, I even get a chance to loop this weekend.

Luke Brooks in 18, and can sub someone out if he kills it.

The way everyone scored last week though, he'll need to go over 50 before it becomes a decision to bring him in.

Shame that his 51 last weekend is his highest score since I bought him, and the first time that he hasn't been in my 17

It's open so trade away...if you have any of course.

Lockout lifted... 1 trade and I have 3 options.

a) Trade Sironen to anyone 594K or under - Who would you pick? Tino, Arrow, Starling, Other?
b) Trade Lucy to anyone 881K or under - McInnis? (run no FRF cover), or Mofo?
c) Trade Ponga, Teddy, Carrigan, Smith for Haas

Hunt to Haas = cashed up. Gud work.

Pearce lost a point at reopening, booo

1134 and lost 11 places. What a silly game.

If Ponga is indeed out it wouldn't be the worst trade for Haas depending on your WFB replacement (Cotric??)

I lost some spots in the rankings but I gained a spot in the FOG... sitting in 16th

League 1 here I come!

All hail the lord Fogarty

Nice bounce back mate.

Made it through to the week off in my cash league too by 4 points. Way to close

Dragons probably the biggest risk of completely packing it in, new coach hasn't arrived yet and the final nail in their finals coffin over the weekend, but Hunt/McInnes/Lomax all high ownership so not too much of a worry.

Titans going reasonably well and building for next year, seem to have a good energy around the group, Holbrook looking to finish the year on a high and carry that into the pre-season. They could easily clock off with two weeks to go though.

Broncos well just Haas and Carrigan but as long as they're fit then they're going to score well, again two high ownership players anyway.

Mofo/Peachey/Fogarty/AFB are probably the four players who will make the most difference in how i finish the year, so I guess I hope the Titans keep on rolling.

I gained an extra 9. Great game sometimes

Weighing up using my last trade on Talau/Randall -> Cotter (depending on if either get named)

I think it's probably a 45-50 point upgrade on my current 17th man - Siro ~35 avg vs Cotter ~50 average.

That could easily be wiped out by a Teddy/Ponga rest and playing HTF for a week. But most people would be in that boat, right?

Then again, if I'm not going to use my last trade on a red dot to a starting hooker who's a clear upgrade on my 17th man, when will I use it?

Thoughts please?
