I've had Brailey all year and don't think that was a bad decision. He's got the second most points for a hooker (6 points behind Cook)

Should be a good game @Papadontbleach , @Archer and @GreenMachine - good luck to your lads, if stars align we might play again next week haha.

Yeah I don't like more trades, keep the game difficult. I like the game how it is but I'd add one or two extra squad members if I was changing it, or if adding trades, one or two would do.

Adam D - Tedesco, 4K left in the bank. Done. Didn't do too flash this year, but it is what it is. Hindsight is everything eh.

Thanks to everyone for all the chats/advice/tips over the year, will defo still keep posting here amongst the games.

Goodluck for the round folks

Can’t happen yet he’s in NZ and they’re in lockdown so we can’t get the jersey to him. It will happen in pre season early new year.

I can video it maybe but I wouldn’t know how to upload it on here. I’ll just give you guys the heads up when it happens so you can watch on the Facebook live stream.

Jax is actually a Roosters supporter who has just scored himself a free Roosters jersey.  Chur bro

Won't check my team at all this week. I'll assess the damage at the end of the round.  

I know I'll be saying bye bye to my top 500 ranking but just how far am I going to fall?

Jumping Marlin wrote:One thing I’ve done last few years is to rate my trades at end of year.  This picks up things like selling Avo, Lodge etc too early.  Want I haven’t done previously is consider the trades I did not make.  The three obvious ones for me were:

1: Skipping Walsh.  Logic was that Brown said he’d be in and out.  I also thought if he can’t make Broncos he mustn’t be that good.  That no way could Warriors not play RTS at fullback and they’d quickly learn.  And that as a young, small player he’d drop off quickly.  There were a few Warriors supporters saying he was a must have, but I didn’t listen.

2: Skipping Hynes.  Logic was that he’d only play a few games before Papy returned and that he wouldn’t have enough time to bank $150k to make the trade worthwhile.  I didn’t see him play the first few games - when I finally did he was way better IRL player than I thought but by that time the ship had sailed.

3: Skipping iPap.  Logic was he’d be back to bench when Matterson returned and wouldn’t keep it up.  Even though I knew he was playing well, I thought Arthur’s would return to what he intended at the start of the year.

Common threads are:

A) underestimating quality of their IRL game and forcing coaches hand;
B) underestimating impact of rule changes on fullbacks.

Him over Townsend was virtually consensus here and in hindsight there was no reason for it to be. And it cost about 20pts a week and 250k.
