I do need another bourbon drinker to show up so I'm not "that guy" that ruins the round with spirits

I drink anything pretty much though. Although currently on day 10 of a self imposed booze ban.

If LB doesn't make one I can do one tonight while I'm at home?

Storm, Warriors & Cowboys only leagues clubs I haven't been to. Can also add Newtown, Nth Sydney & Souths Juniors to the list for bragging rights.

Cowboys leagues club had a big upgrade I think like 12 months ago. Looks really good now. The salad bar there is amazing!!!

Although the local Brothers Leagues club shits all over the Cowboys leagues club. They have about 250 pokies plus they just had a big upgrade to the beer garden out the back. There's about 12 TV's to go with a big Projector all playing sports and the steak is cooked perfect.

I love an ice cold Great Northern more than anything but I am more of a Vodka drinker. I'm a bit over the typical Pasito or Pub Squash I have with it though.

On the down low I am a big cocktail lover though! Baileys Butterball are a good one.

1 trade left, fielding 16 before trades, tossing up 2 options:

a) Talau -> Hopoate/Holmes - better 18th man and can loop with Siro in the last 2 rounds.

b) Wait til Sunday, see how injuries/rankings pan out, Pap -> RTS if needed, hold otherwise.

I have a week off in H2H,but more focussed on cracking the top 1,000 (currently 1,383).

Thoughts please?

I'm on day 10 as well. Attempting dry September which will inevitably fail when the Roosters disappoint me

Tigers Leagues club due a big upgrade too. Think its due for completion around 2010 or so.

Norths Leagues used to have a few snooker tables, but its probably been a decade since I've been there, are they still around?

L6 sudden death final this week against Blindside… not sure if he has any trades left but this is likely how the two teams will line up

ST: CS9, Twal, Carrigan, Fifita, Matterson, Bateman, DCE, Cleary, Lomax, Scritta, Teddy, Cotric, Herbie, Koro, Lucy, Moses, Tino

Blindside: Koro, Haas, Mofo, Jurbo, Yeo, Carrigan, Pearce, Cleary, Hopo, Scritta, Teddy, RTS, Red Dot, Starling, Butcher, Twal, Hunt – He has Talau and Wiliame who could be a late in on game day.

Essentially it is:
CS9 (62.3), Fifita (60), Matterson (61.1), Bateman (56., DCE (64.2), Lomax (46.1), Cotric (37.1), Herbie (26.7), Lucy (52.9), Moses (55.5), Tino (41.9) = 564.60
Vs
Haas (73.6), Mofo (54.5), Jurbo (56.6), Yeo (59.1), Pearce (50.7), Hopo (30.1), RTS (48.3), Starling (48), Butcher (44.4), Hunt (56.9), Red Dot (0). = 522.20

I just have him due to his red dot, so I hope he has no trades and I can get up and into the next round of the finals! Finishing in first I can’t go out after 2 straight finals losses.

LETS GO! Twal and Lucy tonight… I hope Sironen doesn’t go BANG!

I've given the banner a crack (very much an novice with this sort of thing) who do I message to approve/decline?

Also rabbits, I think its a bit petty to refuse to go to Easts Leagues.
Do you think the great rabbit in the sky is going to see you do it and revoke your right to Souths membership?

I've walked into multiple leagues clubs for opposing teams, and I'm sure most people on here have.
strangely don't think I've ever been inside Parra leagues, despite walking past it shitloads of times.

I’ll go into any other leagues club just not Easts.

On a serious note be careful taking nan out in the Eastern suburbs of Sydney they way the Rona is, make sure she masks up. On a not so serious note, I hope after lunch she gets you to swing by City Ford to look at a new Ranger and then to Meriton Apartments to look for some new digs before a final stop at Bryden Lawyers to update her will. Hope you have a shit day and even shitter night.

GO THE TIGERS


Send nan our love.

She won’t wear a mask, cant reason with her. I’ll be setting the right example though and wearing one.

Ahahahaha  hopefully it’s a good game tonight.

It’s R U OK day today come back to me at around 10pm and I’ll tell you how I’m feeling lol!

I’m also up against Blindside in a Rabbitohs forums leagues sudden death final this week! If he’s fielding 17 men he probs beats me!

@Mulvy I'm a day behind on day 9.

@StormTrooper96 Try your vodka with Belvoir Fruit Farms - Belvoir Cucumber & Mint Pressé from Woolies

Reed Mahoney failed a fitness test on Thursday morning and coach Brad Arthur confirmed the hooker won't play

Peachey or RTS?

Tough one. Peach for consistency, rts as a potential winner. Rts locked 80mins, peach playing well so shouldn’t be too much concern for minute drop offs but never know. Peach handy dpp. To answer your q no idea

Yeah, totally different roles and positions but can't split them.

Peachey a risk of getting benched for Arrow or Joliffe if he's back next week.

Edwards v Brimson went 7 votes for Edwards, 10 votes for Brimson.  

It certainly is a tricky decision. I prefer Edwards because he has a higher base but I do think he's a chance of being rested. Ivan said he wouldn't rest anyone but Edwards has missed a few games through injury so I think he might get a week off.

Alternatively I could trade Papenhuyzen to RTS but seems like a silly move if he's back next week plus I'd have a spud 17th man.
