Quite the jump over the last few weeks which has been pleasant, hoping to build on it heading into the byes in a few weeks

Momentum!

Great to see the consistent improvement.

Shout out to all you champs around these parts.

Been having some really good weeks and no doubt due to the brilliant discussion in here every day (yea even the shitposting which breaks up the monotony)

Up to 143rd after 1018 this week

I fully expected to lose haha

Here you go:



Hopefully it's the right dimensions. Had to throw it together in mobile.

Yeah looks like some fiddling to some scores. Hynes 37 (-1) and Lemuelu 60 (+1).

Hopefully find Hosking's TO for the 69

Talau 16 (+4). Need double that next week mate. Might chuck the C on him to be sure.

His TO already showing

Looks like I might sneak the 3 needed for 1000 with Nikorima +2 and Lemeulu +1

Yeah it is too. Don't think it showed after the original update, but adds up to 65 with it now. Bummer.

Updated to 1000 on the dot by the looks

From a brief skim it seems like a lot of people are rushing into trades (I'm guilty of it this year as well.. only 18 trades left ).

Good time to cool your jets if you can. Not every player is a must have, and sometimes a bad week or two for a players scoring is simply that.

Not the sudden rise that LB has seen, just slowly been chipping away:

1: 15314
2: 11024
3: 13744
4: 5932
5: 5591
6: 5075
7: 4599
8: 3240
9: 2317
10: 1427

In other news, can't fuckin buy a win in L2. Bottom of the table with only 2 wins, but coming 4th by overall. Who would want to focus on h2h

With 4 Dolphins and Ford a concern I'll need to trade to field 17.

Keep it simple with KNiko>Oloapu

Talau slots in at centre with BSmith at hooker

Looks like I'll be playing Sele for a 30 at 17

Cheers for the new profile pic.

I am definitely a sauce in the fridge guy so happy to rock the new avatar

Yeah Milf killed Niko. He still has 1/2 price rises left, but definitely closing in on the block.

What killed Niko was Aitken getting injured forcing Niko to centre

Milf may have displaced Niko at some point anyway, but Aitken injury certainly didn't help.

Niko only ever seems to score for 20 minutes in a match anyway. Gets to a good score by half time then stalls, or saves his shit score with a second half run. With no kicking the reliable base just isn't there

I think my only trade this week (if any) is dealing with Cook. (mostly because Alamoti to Te Whare has to wait a week)

What are your plans? For me it is probably Robson or nothing

Good advice and I probably need to listen to it. I'm on 17 left. Hoping a cashout appears for Sloan and that will probably do me.

Although I will have some cash to spend...

Not sure on Cook yet, I'll probably just hold him a bit longer and let him annoy me a little bit more.

Lemu out I'll just play Alamoti. Likely to hurt a bit there this week without Bird. Maybe he can jag a try for once.

I have both Dolphins halves but they might need to wait a week and see what happens after their bye.

I really think most are thinking there's more trades available than what there actually is without really thinking about it. Not sure what the average is in the way of trades left but the bye still two weeks away and most with sub 20 left.

We get 8 extra at round 20 sure, but it's what, 27 rounds?

Huh? Where’s Bird this week?

Yeah as much as I'd like to sideways trade and free up some cash to guys like Brown, Hopgood and Bird, I think I'll try to hold strong this week.

Not even sure which origin guns I'd trade when looking at the schedule. Could Grant, Haas, Cleary and Hynes all be held? Trade Carrigan and Teddy.. just hold everyone..

He's not in my team haha
