I have had a long shift at work mate. 

My fantasy team is cooked. I only scored 936. Rank continues to drop to around 3000 now.

Turpin 35, Laurie 17, Teddy 6, Jet etc... screwed me.

Alvaro and Uto seem to be close to peaked, Jet is a big issue, Teddy likely out next week, Laurie struggling, Turpin peaked, Leniu losing money,  Simonsson doing bugger all....

Not looking good!

Just issue after issue.

You had all those issues with your team and yet still beat my score by 63 points. You'll be fine mate I'm back past you in the rankings, went from 1353 to 3191

ay caramba

Losing Teddy hurt. Also tried to play Walker over Alvaro before the game started but had locked out already. So missed his big score.  959 for the round. Not the worst. Only dropped 800 ranks. But shit considering I was o  track for another decent score.

My mistake. Went up 200 ranks. Guess were all in the shit together

886 this week and somehow I managed to go up 500 places in the rankings

Those weeks when Fifita outscores your 3 starting MIDs combined :

Does anyone know why DWZ didn't play on Saturday?

In hospital with infected shoulder or something

There ya go Moanaman

Dallin Watene-Zelezniak suffered an infection in his knee, required surgical intervention & now on a drip. Will be in hospital til Monday. Ideal scenario back in 2-3 weeks but recovery from infections much more unpredictable than common musculoskeletal injuries seen in the NRL

You really need to look at others people's teams before posting.

Not many in the FOG scored over 950, and heaps were under 900.

The players getting injured/dropped/suspended are all popular so tonnes of teams are in trouble.

Just pity anyone that traamded Latrell to Teddy this week, especially if Teddy misses a week

Let's Forget Wests was a pretty appropriate theme for the round

At least the Tommy Trbo trade worked out well. Since he made it through 2 weeks, his hammies are super human or something now right?

950 playing with 16, only Teddy and Laurie with low scores. Was hoping to make up lots of ground (started at 22k), ended up going up about 2k ranks.

Cleary and Fifita help... A lot. Haha such a shame I didn't start with them, kudos to those that did!

Looking at fb options other than turbo. Holmes, Edwards, Ponga

Edwards gets fairly involved doesn’t he? Could be a good option because Panthers players just score points. And plays RD13

Holmes looking good since moving back to fullback. Average of 50.8 playing there this year. Will consider bringing in him and Ponga for Teddy + Turpin or something if the prices work out. We'll see what happens after lockout.

Morning all, anyone know if anything happened to Kamilamica yesterday as he only played 32 mins ? Just game script or a nuggle ?

I started the season with cover in every position.

If Teddy and Pappy both miss next week, it will be the 4th time this season I will be forced to trade in order to field 17 players.
I'm going to run out of trades early this year, but can't see any way around it.

My situation isn't unique either, some of the top teams had no way of fielding 17 this week whatever they did, and there would be people all over the place burning trades just to get players on the field.

Its a real problem with only having 21 man squads. I hope next year they give us more players, or more trades to compensate, because I can see now that interest is going to die off after origin as nobody has trades left.

It feels like 'survivor' this year, more than field ur best team and creat depth and make cash.. its plain and simple - survive !

I hope this starts happening from this week. Time to start climbing!

Man, the week I have a captain that finally outscored Cleary and I have to deal with Young, RTS and my Riki to TPJ trade not getting locked in. Wew.
