Been going for a month. He just scored 854 this round captained Hughes.

Team name is Mean bet has been on for a month now.

He is 260 points ahead of me. Rank 667 mine is 2996.

I can’t believe I agreed to it.

See why I’m emailing now re my blatantly lost points!.....

He has 11 trades left I have 14.

Honestly, bar some unexpected disasters, I think you are well safe if the buffer is 1000 points.

Jax and I are both Bunnies diehards. Whoever lose will hate it.

He thinks JWH is biggest grub in the game like me. He can’t stand him also.

I've been offering help mate but don't forgot we all have our own teams to focus on. I have given advice to you but you seem sometimes too panicked to take advice on board and keep posting asking for help out of frustration. Can understand why now but you've been making fine choices on your own the last couple of weeks anyway. I would just stop stressing, seriously.

Played his usual role - ball hog " I can win this for us guys" no thought goes into his game, good for Fantasy but no good for his team.

Watched the last 15 only but I thought both Peachey and Clark were terrible from dummy half. Generally ran the team out of space. And then when they finally got space, Marsters and Sami threw terrible passes and Kelly doesn’t pass at all. Feel bad for Holbrook

Sad thing is, I thought Peachey made things look much better than Clark!

This is my favourite life advice. I’ve had some issues with anxiety and stress. Used to love it when people would say this. To which I’d throw back huge sarcasm, “why didn’t I think of that”

Unfortunately played hooker at the end

Hopefully when Clark/Rein are both healthy he can move away from that. Scored well this week though.

I agree - Peachey can at least straighten up occasionally. And when he runs the team out of options he does have a nicely weighted grubber to get a restart.

Titans pretty much had all the ball for that last 15, mostly against 12, and couldn’t score a point.

Anyone watching the Mayweather fight?

Amazing that the game hasn’t opened yet. I’m guessing the guy who works out the magic number for price changes had his lead pencil break and can’t find the sharpener anywhere.

I didn't mean to offend. Yeah, it's easier said than done and I've dealt with people in life, mainly work where stress is almost needed for them to function. They can't live without it and I find stress and the hormones released from as addictive as a drug for some people. They just don't know how to get rid of it even if they know the damage its causing them. I used to stress a lot myself, and mainly eventually worked on it for long enough because I got to a point where enough was enough. I do know just telling people not to stress is pointless so I do apologize.

There's a lot of great motivation videos and such you can search on youtube. David Goggins, Jordan Petersen, Gary Vaynerchuk, even Joe Rogan and even actors like Arnie or Denzel Washington. Heaps of good stuff out there. Those sorts of videos and speeches I go back to all the time if I slip back into a negative state of mind or feelings of stress, anxiety etc.

More likely the stats guys are having to go back through the Eels v. Knights game for Moses lost points and the Storm v. Titans game for Hynes lost points because "someone" sent them a complaint email.

I sent them an email asking how it’s even possible that Burton didn’t score exactly Clearys average.

I would but none of the sites seem to be working

Look up '6stream' on google

Nice thanks

In Raiders news Curtis Scott stood down pending results of NRL integrity unit investigation.

Fantasy relevance, probably none but I will anticipate your questions below.

1. How long will he be out? No one knows.

2. Who will replace him? Please wait for TLT and cross your fingers for Timoko not Croker. Although I’m not sure Croker could make us any worse.

3. Should I bring in his replacement as a cash cow? No

4. Surely, the temp centre can make money and the Raiders play round 13? See question 1, also, it’s the Raiders.

Also, hurry up fantasy gods, I need to update my spreadsheet Monday at lunchtime.

Stats guys getting through all the email complaints no doubt
