Yes SI, that was the case in previous seasons, and I think it was like that at the start of this season. I noticed a few weeks ago that it had changed from the full squad (of 25) to only the selected team (of between 13 and 17 inclusive).

I don't know if it's deliberate or a programming oversight. I think it might be the latter, because I notice it now identifies the capt, vc, and 4 reserves, whereas in the past it simply listed the 25 players without any indication of who was in the starting 17. As an ex computer programmer/analyst, I can guess what the developers have done wrong when they coded the module that produces the list. Unfortunately, modern software development isn't big on quality assurance and rigorous testing prior to releasing programs/applications into production (i.e. to the unsuspecting public).

I think it will certainly generate a few surprises after Lockout on bye rounds just passed like you said with Parra/Dragons not playing and particularly after the big bye rounds. I guess either way it's a level playing field as they can't see yours either.

SJ or Ryan James peeps ???? leaning towards James however I am easily lead.

I bought R.James last week and I'm holding off on making a decision about S.Johnson until next week.

So if I was you AR, I would buy James (BE = -1) ahead of Johnson (BE = 9). Sorry for NOT trying to change your mind mate. LOLo

All good Champ , just wish i had of gone with James instead of Manners the week he did his chin but all water under the bridge now.

I got Ryan James last week (thank goodness) and I'm getting Johnson this week. Can you get both ???

If you can't, then it's a very tough decision.
If you don't get James, then he is going to be well over $500K next week and Johnson could score anything this week v the Knights.

I'd vote with ST and go with R.James this week.

Cant get both PB thanks to my decision to go with Milford, just hope he comes good James it is was leaning that way as SJ is a tad volatile for me old ticker, queue the James head explosion this weekend - however I think he has matured into a good footy player finally.

Bugga, it's Thursday and my eliminator is stuffed already because of CP. Why do people still have him? grrrr, grrrrrr

I'm in the same boat mate and am now odds on to lose my eliminator at the moment.

Adding insult to injury, I hovered over the trade button for BHunt to SJ (completely ignoring my previously mentioned mantra of 'if in doubt, trade them out')......and only held off on the trade because of my lack of 'guns' in the halves.

Doesn't make much sense now to trade any of the following to SJ:

Cody Walker - hopefully plays Rd15
Ryan Matterson - hopefully plays Rd15
Benny Barba - hopefully plays Rd18

Gonna have to death ride SJ now sorry lads....

Hunt out would have been a big call, bloke's a keeper.

My opponent had Parker too. And he also happens to be the only team without Surgess.

Im playing the only other non surgess team and I captained him Need my warrior boys to pull something out of their ass again to save me for a second week and hope his captain fails.

I'm playing a non Surgess team. He also has Naiqama and his 82. So it's trouble ahead for me.

I too am playing a non surgess team that is Cowboy heavy. I think I'm in trouble

Yeah pretty sad when your opponent has Kodi Niko on 5 from the night before matched up against Sam,s big 3 , not a good start to the weekend for a Bunnies supporter , well done Tigers fans.

These fuckers are in plague proportions

Looks like I'll be the only one left in the way the eliminator is going

I caught a break as well Krumpy-opponent Captained Surgess. She was originally going to annhifuckinglate me so it will probably still be close
