Only gets to you if you let it - gotta delve into yourself and ask why it's getting to you so much.

They can't get your goat if they don't know where you tied it up!

That's the thing I feel bad about, my rank is very good so it sucks feeling like that when there are so many other legends on here doing it rough and way down the pecking order in terms of rankings.  I'm just a salty selfish prick I guess.  I mean, only had Haas last night and my live rank is 2692 so I do feel bad for putting it out there, but it is what it is.  We'll see how round 13 plays out.  Damn fantasy lol!

Can't complain when Haas was your captain you poor prick.

Yeah I've been pretty lucky this year (had Cleary/Fifita from the start etc.) and am still ranked 4413 at the moment (had Beans/Haas/TPJ last night), you're doing just fine so far. if Papy's back in round 14 then us Beans owners are in a pickle

This right here, has to be deeper issues, I'll admit that.

Exactly, I'll shutup.  I like beans that's all and am hungry lol.  You've been a great poster this year too Beth, I hope you keep climbing!

I know people like making fun of Matt every time he says anything. But surely people don't think he wants to play Tedesco at prop.

Currently nobody has any WFBs in their 14-17 at full strength. You can change your squad makeup to have 2-3 extra WFBs and still maintain coverage for other positions.

Come round 1 next year there is a close to 0% chance that the rules will be interpreted the same way that they are currently. But assuming there is still a big focus on head high contact and plenty of suspensions going round, then why not follow the MS rule and get players who are more likely to actually play games.

wolfking wrote:Yeah, I'm salty AF not getting Hynes but it was too difficult without trading Crichton or a double trade which wouldn't have been wise long term.  90 points is just a kick in the nuts though.

I'll keep playing but missing a move like this is probably going to cause slow rank falls from here on I feel.  The points is one thing but the money missed will be crucial and owners now have a massive leg up so well done to you all. I feel like that's my season done. It feels great when shit goes your way but fuck you do feel like throwing the towel in when you miss a massive play like Hynes.  Kills the hype for the game at such a crucial time.  

It's stupid how things like this which mean absolutely nothing to your life can cause such turmoil lol.  Sometimes I do think about quitting because a game like this which again means fuck all is not as important as your mental state sometimes haha, and times like this test that.  I'm not a quitter though and plus, I have nothing better to do!  But Damn I don't even want to think about fantasy anymore this weekend.

I will just hold trades and maybe use 3 next week.  Still want Burton but would kill me if I trade him in and he doesn't play next week.

Edit:  not to mention only having Haas last night ffs!

Mate nothing wrong with being disappointed after investing hundreds of hours into research and being an active member of this community. If it's any consolation I'm bored with both NRL as a product and fantasy as a game and live ranked 850. It's not you mate, this year and last have been down compared to previous years.

Thoughts on a good option?
