I'd tell you to eat a ####, but have we really established boundaries or are you just tolerating me all this time ?

Anyone who gets Savage deserves the disastrous outcome. It should result in captaincy points taken away for the round actually.

Imagine... there were a lot of coin flips (at the time) and I chose the wrong one for each one to start the year. If I got them all the other way around, there would be a lot of saved trades that I spent trying to fix it and a lot higher rank with points gained

Mahoney v Cook
Crichton v Papali'i/Haas
Walters v Ming
Billy Smith v Tago

I'd totally forgotten that Cook started the season cheaper than Mahoney.

I know I had a reason for picking Mahoney over him, but I can't for the life of me remember what it was. Seems insane in hindsight

That's right. I watch maybe 1 game per week and listen to a few on the radio. So, I don't know why Loomer you were saying Savage is a shit pick. Is it because he is no good in real life, fantasy or both?

Great reading this morning on the forum.

I always did prefer Israel "IZ" Kamakawiwoʻole's version of the song.

Not taking the piss at all. Not a fan of doing that with people I don't know. I was just curious why youu don't like Savage as a pick because at the moment I have him and when I read your comment it gave me second thoughts,

One of my fond memories is from three years ago.
We travelled to Rarotonga for a weeklong mid-year break.

As it turned out I had booked it for the first bye-week.
I'm usually a fairly bye-focused player and normally cut my rank significantly in the two bye-rounds.

I was ranked 996th heading into it with good bank and 4 big trades planned (but didn't want to trade too early in case of late outs).

Anyway, arrive in Rarotonga and discover that despite being Vodafone with roaming data in like 150+ countries, the Cook Islands was not one such place.
We were staying in an AirBnb type house, and basically the setup is a Router, you purchase a Wifi code from the local Supermarket and that's how you get internet access.

So rush out on the Friday evening, drive 1/4 of the way round the island, spend like $50 for 500MB, get home and discover the router is on the Fritz and find out that BlueSky? (the local ISP) will come fix it on Monday, pretty much everything but the market shut over the weekend.

Still, tropical island, what are you going to do... drink lots of cocktails on the beach is what

Its true. One poor decision doesnt really matter in the grand scheme of a seasons worth of poor decisions

Dont put him in the gun shop.

I think he is a gr8 mover, alot to learn though. No good for fantasy yet, a cashout only.

Just needs to slow it down and gain confidence in 1st grade.
