Luki seems to have stolen Robson’s odd round love

R5, 11, 13 - 56, 84, 60
R10, 12, 14 - 19, 13, 39

I should be looking forward to my one try, two line break 28 then.

it is my hope we can stop hearing this fucking term by the end of the ashes  

i have no predictions though, i've no idea what will happen. both teams are looking pretty strong. i hope it's a close series all the way with Australia taking the win.

its cool to see anderson and broad lining up for the first test.

I’ve not added to the culinary chat, so for me it’s GYG, my wife is an Oportos gal, if we’re traveling we’ll avoid any place that doesn’t have a crowd during peak eating hours. Of course, we both like the KFC.

Horse, Haas, Carrigan, Cook, Grant, Teddy, SJ, Kodi

That's pretty funny

SJ, Carrigan, Horse, Tohu, Bird, Boyd, Teddy, Lemmy 

5.76m on the bench gathering dust. Oh the pain

One last crack before the chat returns to footy

Ashes predictions?

I'll go 3-2 England
Cummins most wickets - Root player of the series.

Edit: I'm obsessed with cricket (and always have been) but I only realised it's "Hazlewood" not "Hazelwood" about a year ago. Thought of this when I read "Simpkin" when trading him in today. Fucking kills me when I read people tipping the "Storms" to win lol.

The Haze is from my neck of the woods, but never had to play against him thankfully. Would've been 1 ball and 16 year old me walking off to a celebrating 11 year old Haze. Shouldn't let U12s play with U16s anyway.

Most egregious misspelling of a name would be Raiders fans calling Croker Crocker, especially when he was fantasy relevant and in their team. He's their goalkicker and captain too ffs, how does it not register with the pronunciation and being written everywhere?

Also, Aus 5-0 Well maybe 4-0, always gonna be a washout to save them in one.

It's not going to happen but, would be great if Jimmy Peirson got a game over there

I'm a simple man who wants simple things: the poms to be humiliated

There won’t be enough money on the field for a meaningful price rise or fall this week

For team value you mean?

Haha yeah, that’s how it works right?

I think most teams by now would be around that $14m mark so any more would be marginal really

Might change tact and skip NAS and use the 4 trades.  Now looking at;

Cook - Turpin
IKat - Hynes
Ford - Smith
Tapine - Matto

Leaves 7 trades and 120K and this team;

Turpin
Matto Smith Hopgood
Preston Bateman
Hynes Olo
Manu Alamoti
Drinkwater Ponga Bula

Fifita Robson SJ Horse JDB Ted Lemmy Boyd

Although, I could instead of Tapine out, I could go Fifita out and get NAS instead of Smith along with Matto still.  Not sure yet on holding Tapine or Fifita.

Essentially it will be Fifita and Smith, or Tapine and NAS.  The latter option leaves 148K.

Matterson was my trade in all week until TLT. I think he will score quite well with more touches on the ball. Maybe Manu like, except better scoring

Forget what I said earlier. Fuck the Poms. 5-0

Correct.

Magic number likely to be quite low this week, so price rises likely to be a little less than usual
(I'd suggest plugging 12500 into mtb's price predictor for estimates)

Hosking and Drinkwater for me tonight
I kept Hosking over Preston, hasn't been the best decision so far, but Hosking still has a chance to make up for it the next couple rounds with Martin on Origin duty

This thread's upcoming page 51 party has potential
