Same here

Finished on 987 pre updates. Played Kris over N Butch. FML.

Hold on why could SJ be out next week?

Any word on Maroons FB hoping it’s not Brimson but expecting it will be

1028 sees me up from 1011 rank to a 886 rank currently which is my highest so far this season. No trades used and 5 in hand so looks solid for next week.

Unsurprisingly they actually don't.

Also in a surprise to no one, it's me commenting on player name pronunciation.

Well then can you tell all the rugby league commentators then, because phonetically they’ve been calling Pauga ‘Ponga’ for months.

Great score and position to be in!

Second child due

Just fielding the 10, for rd 19. Don't particularly like the options there.

991 and rank stayed near enough the same as last week. Anyone without trades that wants mine, I obviously have no idea what I’m doing? 

Bit miffed that I’ve not been able to improve over the last month despite doing my best to conserve when others have been doing for broke just to field 17 some weeks

On a side note I have no idea how my EDG combo scored 102 combined fantasy points when the in-game total came to 140-0 on the scoreboard.

Final score ain’t everything huh

Rueing my decisions this week. Traded Bird to Ramien and left VTW in the emergency. Fifita and DCE were my other targets, but spooked by having too many origin players with just 1 game survive. Hopefully find a way to make those 60 odd points back. Big game from Ramo next week thanks.

Managed 1061 still and up to a season high 731st pending updates.

Don't think I'll trade next week and just play 11, maybe 10 if two of Hynes/Cook/SJ are out.

Tatola and yet to be decided to Fifita and DCE for Rd 20. Murray Rd 21. Dunno how I'll get Clearly yet.. cross that bridge when it comes

Domt be hard on yourself mate cracking score you’ll overtake me soon I’m only about 30 ranks ahead.

Ramien is playing Tigers this week he could get a 45-50.

You’re well placed.

This is awkward - was filed just before 2pm

Would LOL if Bradman Best gets the gig now 

Canterbury five-eighth Matt Burton is set for a State of Origin recall as a replacement for the injured Tom Trbojevic in the centres for NSW.
Burton has to get through today’s game against Newcastle unscathed but has his name pencilled into the Blues team line-up that will be officially announced on Monday morning.

Thanks mate Yeah I gotta be happy with the score and rank movement. Just a bit annoyed that I went against my mantra of "what's the point of having cover if you won't use it?". Especially when it involves a CTR. Fifita or DCE could cop a knock and Ramien murders it though, so no point lamenting it.

I feel bad you didn't get on Drinky. You put him on my radar and I kinda talked him down, but traded him in the following week.. Almost went for Campbell though which would've been an absolute disaster. Major turning point for me.. thanks for putting me onto him though

Hopefully I can follow you, Mulvy and Welshy up the ranks the next few Will try to drag Camo, Wolfy, CHEWIE, et al along too

Oh I know, the commentators are mostly terrible or simply don't care about pronunciation of names unfortunately, even with the increasing resources and club guides.

Edit: to be fair Ponga/Pauga is a pretty subtle difference.

Do you guys think that there is a chance that Ponga will turn around on his asking to not be selected for origin given Walsh being out?

My thought when he said that he was making the choice easier on Billy.

Well, to be fair it doesn't specify unscathed physically or mentally.

Expecting his wife to give birth.. he won’t travel if the birth hasn’t happened yet.

I’m right there with ya mate.
Every week I feel like my team is set up well and I’ll be making gains on the leaders.
Every week it turns to shit.
Onwards and upwards

Thanks mate. Will go hard next week but I don't have Haas, Fifita or Grant so still have to be careful with the trades.
