After making 1 trade, I have 12 available this week, but one of them is Couchman

Will probably ditch Latrell for someone over origin, not sure who yet though to give me 13

For people with Hynes + Cleary, are you keeping one or both of them, and who would you ditch if required?
Hynes only plays 2 of the next 5, so he really should go, shouldn't he

I'm personally keeping both as not sure how much game time Hynes will see and I think Cleary generally prides himself on backing up for the Panthers - risk will be if they are pumping a team (and they have Dragons and Cows as two backup teams) and he gets an early rest, but you'd like to think he would have already tonned up if that was the case.

At this stage I'm planning on holding most of my Origin keepers with the exception of Grant, who I think I'll trade to Cook (but have been umming and ahhing about that one after thinking it was locked in at the start of the week).

Even backin g up though, 2 out of 5 is best case for Hynes

Misses 13 and 16 for origin. 17 for bye

Get 14 + 15 out of him, so I guess hold this week and maybe re-assess before 16

Yeah it's possibly a tough run.

That said, it's still a bit unknown at this point and he could even get dropped from the Blues and then his by schedule looks fantastic....

i have 13 players this week but it includes schuster & weekes so i'd say i have 12 players as combined they both probably don't score over 45 points.

I have 11 players this week (with 4 trades used), but I VC'd Isaako so that's handy. Pretty sure I'm looping him but considering going for Hopgood captain instead.

One of my 13 players was Couchman, so that was a pleasant surprise

I VC'd De Belin, but just letting it ride on Hopgood

Same, vc on debellin but hopgood is my captain still.

i have jdb vc & sj c but also considering moses/hopgood

I was in same position decided to go with hopgood currently 317/4c

Just noticed the guy in 3rd is in my public league currently on 359 with captain cook marzhew ponga and schuster with lowest scorer being out due to playing 14

Sorry forgot to put our common players in his team also

ended up with moses (c) so that try at the end was great.

There will be a new leader this week. Let's hope it's WL or another fanatic.

in rd. 12 the teams ranked 3 (30 pts behind you) & 4 (39 pts behind you) made up a lot of ground in rd. 12 & had 11 players before trades for rd. 13 so they could overtake us.

You should have 3rd beat this unless cook goes huge. One of his player won't add due to having 14 this week.

i think controboys will be no. 1 he had a fantastic round so well done to him

Lockout seems to be over.
Have Sportsdeck stuffed up?

The guy in second scored 997 this round, which seemed insane, even more so when I looked at his team, so added up his 13 best scorers (with JDB captain) and get 871.
Seems like something weird is happening there (or a display error?)

there will be a new “Best 13 Scoring” rule for the three major bye rounds (13, 16 & 19) in 2023 where multiple teams will have a bye. In these rounds, you'll score from your best 13 players only, from your selected Starting 17.

Even the guy in first seems like they should only have scored 842 (not 874), unless I just don't have a clue? (which admittedly is quite possible, as this format gets the least of my time)

Is it a display error
I had 14 this week

The gameday page shows my score as 747 (ignoring Host's 25)
But the rankings page said I scored 772 (including Host)

Not sure what my total points were last week to work out how many points I actually gained

OK, so just realised you can easily check last weeks totals on the rankings page

Shades of SJ were on 11,169 points last week, and now on 12,166 so they've definitely fucked up and added points for the whole 17

The gameday section seems to be correctly showing just the top 13 though

Hopefully they fix it. Any how I got a bye rnd first week of eliminator and also got my self into the top 20 for the first time this year.
