again beaten by my 5% POD team

Mate he was plenty involved. Ran the ball like 10 times, just didn't get the tackle busts he usually does. Bulldogs defence was frustratingly good on Doueihi

972 and somehow I went up places!, 1291st now. Would love to be in the top 1000 but I think I'm going to struggle to field 17 next week...

1023 and moved just inside the top 2000 but I fear a big fall as I am now tradeless and carrying Mahoney,Hynes and Angus

988 and went from 1780 to 1657. Clinging on for dear life now. 1 trade left for Crichton. Honestly don't see Cleary suiting up now next Friday playing the Dragons.

Into the top 1,000 for the first time this year at 795! My strategy was always to be conservative with trades throughout the madness of the Origin period, and hopefully make a move towards the back end of the year when many others had burned all their trades. I’ve been slowly climbing ranks from being 3,082 at the end of Round 16, so it feels like it’s finally paying off. 4 trades left, hoping I can make a bolt for the Top 500. Crichton the only real concern for me, but that’s a pretty straight forward trade to Murray.

Justin Holbrook just told media he expects to stick with Sexton and Taylor in the halves for next week’s huge clash with South Sydney despite co-captain Jamal Fogarty likely to be available. Big call by the @GCTitans coach.

"I'm going to see it out the next few weeks. It's a starting point for him"

@nthqldcowboys Todd Payten says Jason Taumalolo's edge experiment will continue @NRLcom

956 gained me a couple of hundred ranks but I’m a long way back.

Last trade next week - Mahoney to someone, and hang on for dear life

The Bludgers are on their regular end-of-year pre-Mad Monday booze up...
or something like that. managed to stagger from the pub to 947 and dropped about 100 ranks (up to 3988) looks like the dream of a top 1k finish is fading as quickly as the Tigers wet dream of finals footy.
Bigger concern is BHunt & Mahoney have copped injuries - I warned them not to go on a bender too early, and Angus has chucked up his hand for a suspension. CHN and Hynes seem to have switched off for the season as well. That and we're all waiting around dick in hand for the great Chin to decide when (or if) he wants to put the boots back on.

Last trade will probably be spent on Cookie. Fair warning folks, once a player joins The Bludgers they lose the killer instinct and slide back into easy mediocrity.

My rank is up from 2347 to 1830! Wwwoooohhhhooooooo

I’m almost certain those Ponga points (and Watson and Gamble and so on points) aren’t coming.

Also, really happy with the CHN > Blore cash out. +21 points, and +493k.

1050 rank 120. Have a few trades left, hopefully can have a strong finish.

Lolo has the turning circle of the Queen Mary

949 and I dropped about 60 ranks. Have Angus but thankfully not Mahoney and 3 trades in hand. Now that I have cash for Cleary, I hope he is back next week.

Interesting week ahead. Had no intention of bringing Cleary back into the fold, but with Crichton and Mahoney now sells, I'll actually be able to afford him if I was to get ridiculous. Thinking I could probably spend it on less risky options, though... but it's no doubt going to be a weighty decision through the week.

Means fucking Watson (I actually really like the dude, but he's broken, Fantasy-wise) will survive once more.

About to do a POD on green room under the name fantasy football starting in around 10-15mins. I will be joined by a couple of lads from discord if any of you guys would like to listen.

They’ve done it on many Thursday games this year and they get added overnight. I’m not worried.

If the gap between Crichton And Blore closes by $56k or less, I can do Angus + Suaalii to Cleary + Blore as my final 2 trades

If Cleary not named this week may just run without him

Suffering six rounds without Cleary for a maximum four rounds left in the comp for him to play.
Immediately selling him has turned out to be the right decision so well done to those who went with that option.

Really hoping he's back starting this week, I am expecting he will be.

Two trades left for me. I will probably be using one on Crichton to Murray.
