I don't know mate, I reckon Australia could win it by 10 runs. Courageous imo.

Definitely courageous mate, no question.

Could have been worse. Ponting wanted him to duck into a bouncer so he could get knocked out and sub Todd Murphy into the game. Rabbit (the original one) would approve.

Yikes. Thankfully I fell asleep for about 90 mins and missed all that "action".

Almost a double blow for Starky. England in all sorts.

752/12. Surprised I only have lost 150 odd ranks with no Haas or Fifita but that score looks slightly above par. Gutted I played it safe and didn't do my planned trades which would have netted another 70 points but hopefully holding 5 trades going into the next two weeks will pay off.

Will be tempting to trade Null next week regardless but probably lost too much coin.

Need a big bounce back from Ted today. Preston, Ponga, Turpin and Manu also to come.

1/188(c)

Next minute 718/13(c)

I know what Walsh would call everyone bar the MIDs in my team

877 with Manu, Ponga and Turps to play. Hopefully the 71pt Ponga shows up not the 17pt Ponga

Looks like having trades in the bank hasn’t really helped me much over the bye period.

715/12c is pretty mediocre scoring.

I'm on the exact same score.

I'm beginning to think the reintirement has hurt the value of this avatar. It's all yours Camo.

Maybe Ben Stiller will bring me the luck I so thoroughly deserve.

Huge mate, nice score. What's your rank change look like this week?

OVERALL RANK
2548 (up 500)
/215853

ROUND 18 RANK
144
/215853

I only play H2H tho

Good morning

Have looped Koula in, Bula out

But think maybe I just get Kiraz for Koula. Better scorer. Plays R19 and was on the longlist of potential gets for next week. Currently seems cheap

Ok trade?

How is your ctw cover since most aren't running with much

Seems a good trade in isolation
Kiraz definitely under value right now and probably gives you some extra points next week?

Seriously, why did Simpkin and Bateman play reduced minutes?

Simpkin played the same minutes as he did last game

Camo said Bateman went back to the UK over their bye so didn't train much...and when it's 60 - 0 you might as well take him off

Wayne didn't mention in the presser if the HTF shift to ctr would continue. JMK busted again.

Yeah won’t have any centre cover. But will get one next week for R19 I think

Similar score here 763/12c but with Kiraz, Hedwards, Ponga, Turpin and Manu to come.
I like your Ted & Preston better, Kiraz & Hedwards are my EMG options with the Eels bye this week
Should still gain some ranks though, back into the top 500 would be nice
