    I am on 1015 and lost my league 1 match up by 135. Tough league.

    Holy smokes, I'm mid-pack in the FOG, not having a great year, but this post prompted me to look at the L1 ladder. How the fuck am I second? Must have been kissed on the dick with matchups. The bloke at the top of the ladder is 500 points ahead. Happens to be 1st overall...

    Looking at the rankings as they stand a top 100 finish won't gaurentee you a spot in L1 next year

    Mulvy may frown on this but would you consider a wager on our overall result?

    I guess these guys are good

    Makes it hard to trade any of them out

    Speaking of conspiracy.

    I reckon Croker gets “dropped” this week or next. To ensure a home ground 300. Heard they looking for ways to make it happen

    So, 1044 for the week in the end. 5th overall (or maybe 6th when Ando's Niko points are added), in that FOG logjam at the top. A Trbojevic hamstring away from possibly being first - you can't trust those things.

    If the Hors/Hop/JDB missing Origin mail is true, then I'll probably be running 12 next week after trades. Just need to decide whether to bring in Garrick (more points) or Koula (more cash and future flexibility).

    Sounds like there have been a few good rank rises this week, well done everybody, and particularly BCT at the top!

    If TPJ is actually selected that's the most cooked selection in recent years.

    Surely not

    Unless he doesn't actually play, he could just as easily injure himself in NSW Cup and then bam season gone no 300

    idk, if people think Horsburgh or Young are "made for Origin" because they're nutcases when they're fired up, then why doesn't that apply double to TPJ?

    1010 for me and rank 362. With Bird and Manu out I was down a ctr but happy to play with 16. Last game rolls around and I have Weekes sitting there doing nothing. I couldn't resist a sneaky Weekes to Burbo last minute trade to give me 17.
    Burbo does a hammy and Tom suddenly looks 100% fit cementing his origin spot meaning Weekes would have come in handy after all

    Legit feels like Jurbo was out and the most recent mid Fittler saw was TPJ this arvo. Outside of this week he’s been pretty poor, yeah? He basically got hooked against the Dragons a few weeks back. I feel the time to play TPJ at this level was 3-4 years ago.

    In the case of Hudson young, the presence of skill in match winning moments is the difference. Horse I reckon still too much of a liability, just as likely to lose you a game as win it

    That article posted earlier makes it sound like Fittler wanted JDB but the sponsors/brass stepped in with a "we do not want ten days of NRL rapist stories dominating the build-up of our showpiece event, you idiot", and fair enough.

    I resisted this exact temptation and took an 18 score instead.

    Saved all trades this week, looking forward to having SJ, Bird and Manu back, and reported Origin teams look great for my fantasy squad, which is encouraging.

    Yep a crazy round. Similar for me, although I saved all my trades last round and used them all this round. A bit all over the place.

    Started great with captain Cleary, held Hosking so that I get a look at the Eels line-up next week, and Teddy returned. Then Smith, Crossland, Miller, Luki happened. But at least I traded the correct Phins half, Kodi will make money from the emergencies, Granville out seems a correct call, got lucky picking Koula over Burbo, trade-in Drinky did the job, trade-in Edwards pass mark, owning Fifita is fun.

    949 and up a couple of hundred ranks to 2083.

    No chance of threatening, but I've only once finished outside the top 1000 once and intend to keep it that way, haha! And keen to keep helping those at the pointy end! Good luck all.
