Ah sorry mate, I have been following your progress and wishing you well. Not only because you're in my fantasy fantasy team, but hoping a Fanatic can represent at the top (and you seem like a nice guy!)

Haha, thanks mate! I've had plenty of luck this round, here's hoping it continues!

Bad luck mate.

Thank you

783 with Haas, Harris, Avo and Walsh to go. Pretty happy considering Fog, SJ and captaining Fifita

Have had him all year but look at it as extremely lucky. Plenty started with him and traded him out when sharing minutes with Grant and not scoring too well....I just had other fires.

True, but there's a guy that does that every year. And he's talented enough to score from the bench, and was likely to play big minutes in rd13 regardless. He's the type of guy you should take a punt on. It might be unlucky, but dismissing too easily like that will not grow myself as player.

Edit: Took him in draft though.

626 with Haas, Egan, Averillo, Walsh and Tohu to go. I am holding my ranking at the moment but I suspect I will drop a bit this week. Hopefully I can stay in the top 1000.

Massive rank killer. Got him to field 17 with both Ted and Turbo out.

Holy smokes! That's huge mate. Big rank rises in store you'd think.

Hurts to hear, I had similar plans. Harris to ponga, Harris green dot made me reverse and run 16 instead

Speaking of tough days. I had -13 in a par comp this morning. It snowed also. Worst

Gone from 483 to 213 so far. Assuming there will be a lot of people who have more players tomorrow (and there's likely to be lots of loops/emgs to come in) so expecting to lose a fair chunk of those gains

Where are you a member?
I’m nearby in Goulburn but no way was I playing today knowing the forecast.

The score seems well above par though, regardless of emergencies etc. Don't want to put out any bad juju but hopefully you keep those gains.

Federal in Canberra. I’m from Goulburn originally though.

Appreciation post for Watson, just always finds a way to get it done on fantasy

Next week brining in the 2 manly big guns now that origin is over.

Really? I’ve been here since 1992.
I can see why you left, but not why you left for Canberra.

Two words.

Public. Service.

Wouldn't think there'd be a hell of a lot of loops when numbers are so down this week mate.

I knew Api was a POD but didn't realise I was one of ten in the top 500 to own him. Mofo better play tomorrow

It's brutal. I too contributed to his demise. Bringing him in today was my "big move" in a must-win H2H match, but the reality is the roll-on effect has probably fucked everything now and in the aftermath. This week's H2H is now a complete write-off (who'd have known that owning Ponga and not owning CHN would be the point of no return), but another massive part to the story is that bringing in Ponga this week means Cleary just got that bit harder to bring in. Now I'm stuck with bank-busting Ponga, and now anyone who wants him will get him in the low to mid 600's and have him too. Plus, for good measure, I traded out Tohu/Cleary for SJ/Ipap last week (I brought in Ipap last week as I knew I'd more than likely need two WFB this week). Just couldn't script this season. I'm hoping I have all my 10 years of bad luck this season and I can resume playing proper Fantasy NRL next year. What an absolute ballsmack of a season.

Anyway, hope you're all faring better. So many of you guys seem to be killing it, so at least that's nice to witness from the sidelines.
