He fell in Pereira's late, high shot and failed HiA.

Yeah, let's just judge from.stills.

Or you could say he's unlucky. He was falling. Or does that not work in this case?

The difference is one player plays for the roosters and the tackle is celebrated and will be in the highlights
The other is 6 weeks

All people ask for is consistency

Both high and shoulder, no effort to get down. Totally different from the Pereira tackle at waist height.

It certainly was different in that it was on a player in possession of the ball, yes.

Fair call this.

I think as a general rule fellas just remember what this community is. It’s 1-200 really passionate players of the game and our starting point should be wanting one of us to win the whole thing and our second point should be wanting us all to do well and our overall leagues to top the league charts

I know we have H2H against each other in leagues (but we are playing overall)
I know we all want highest overall (but there is no real money leagues)

We have a public “community” team

The Bantz is great and the competitiveness to be in next years league 1 and 2 even better, but we are 100 guys out of 100k players so enjoy the success of others and ride the lows with people when they need them.

Don’t want it to be a powderpuff forum but it shouldn’t be competitive to the point of jealousy, envy or ever wishing failure on another lad in the same community.

Again, I don’t think for a second that was Beth’s intent and post, but point of reflection


Let’s beat the rest of the fuckers trying to play this game... starting with them renegades

TU: Trade SOS for Walsh
TD: Have another beer and chill

Honestly Mathew, I don't know if you just like being "the Fantasy Contrarian" or you just enjoy being wrong... but keep up the good work

Keep your head up, honestly in the decade or so I've played fantasy, this year seems the most brutal for being punished for making decisions that objectively aren't or shouldn't be that bad.

Fantasy should be fun, so do what you've got to do to enjoy it - Hope you still stick around the forum though!

I’ll pop on for a few injury insights, questions and inevitable where are my TB points whinges

Speaking of which Crichton on 2? Get your head of your ass

2-1 with 1 minute to go. Trades ahoy. Cheers all!

What because it doesn't suit your agenda? Imagine if that was in the UFC

not watching the game, so if he's hit him in the head he should be charged, but the referee missing a call suddenly doesn't mean you're vindicated for celebrating some-one concussing some-one with a reckless and illegal tackle.

Good

Well if Egan can get 70-odd I will get the 1000.

Gus just said rts playing halves

SOS 23 BE averaging 48.

Walsh 18 on debut in a team with no half back that is probably going to get butchered.

You know what to do.

Just saw SOS is out

I pushed a trade for him, for Croker. Who has since gone onto be a solid 50s scorer

Ended up with 17 players this week. Will be lucky to get to 800. Rank 18000s before new boy Verrills is looped in...

Don’t think I’ve made a correct call all season. And I was supposed to have it figured out this year

Plan was:
2019 - started with a team worse than an Autofill and wheeled and dealed to top 3000
2020 - top 1000 (just) after crashing the last 2 rounds
2021 - PROFIT?!

Will be struggling to better 2019 from here lol

Out of all rounds...

Lucky Papenhuyzen owners

That (or Walsh half) would make a lot more sense than sticking your best player out on the wing.

has anyone said why SOS is out?

Shout out to someone earlier in the week saying you might as well play Walker instead of looping Turpin's 35 because you might lose 10 points from a bad game but the upside of getting a big attacking game is well worth it.

I've ended up looping Turpin's 35 anyway with Tohu out lol but glad the punt on Walker paid off.

Yeah surely RTS can’t play wing, even some hybrid wing wouldn’t make sense

Erin Moleman wrote:Gus just said rts playing halves

So that will mean something like Siro center, Montoya wing.
