Ashes on too, spoilt for sport tonight

F1 shootout on soon as well

And the sprint race tonight with two Aussies on the grid

Captaining DCE wasn't what I needed but my other option was Hynes so I'll take what I can get. Hopefully the trade I saved getting DCE in one trade rather than Cleary in two pays off down the line (it won't but I can dream).

15/729c thanks to Hands, Manu and Edwards scoring 44 points between them

966/15C Fifita & Robson to go. What you on Welshy?

Here's the banner; I'm taking a punt on there being no more centuries this round. I'll make the adjustment if Cleary updates.

Redonk score!

Respect

Going to bottle the upset in the Eliminator against Flamingo as only 86 needed from Drinkwater and Preston

Edwards is actually probably my worse trade in this season even over the bad luck trades, scored about 250 less than Drinkwater in the same amount of time for what was 60k more in R16

Really thought you had me this week, though you still might. I still have PTSD from trying to chase you in the FOG in 2019

Going Horse over Yeo looks really silly now. Not going to be fun wondering what mins he is going to get every week, hopefully he was just sick or something

“I was keen, it sounded really good on paper: Go back, play your 300th game for the club, OK, let’s talk a bit of footy,” Mason said on his Skipi TV show ‘Unfiltered’.

“I met Des in Darling Harbour and we had a coffee and started talking about football and life in general. Then he just, bang, put out this big book with stats on everything. On everything. From f***ing day dot.

“In his eyes, I don’t know if they are twisted or football has just got to him but Aiden Tolman was the best prop in the game. But to me, no disrespect to Aiden, [but] I was 35 and I’d still dust him up.

“In my eyes, I’m like, ‘No Sam Burgess [was the best], or George Burgess at that time - they were killing it. I said, ‘Do you ever go by the eye test Des and look at what he brings and what sort of emotion and physical presence, and how much drive he has on the field and how much he can get people going with him, and the leadership skills, instead of finding your front of the play the ball, tackling 45 times?’

“There’s a reason why you tackle 45 times if you’re a front-rower: Because you’re a spot player. I don’t get run at 50 times a game, because I’d hope to think that I can actually tackle all right.

You have a very low BE haha

In all honesty everyone knows cleary will get a banner, its just a matter of when
I expect a Mcinnes effort from you at the meet up

Shocking scheduling last night. Dragons v Manly should've been at 7:30 so everyone could watch the Ashes instead. Worked out alright as I fell asleep and recorded Sharks v Panthers and missed the cricket.

Racking up the sub 40 scores with Teddy, Manu, Ramien, Bula, Hynes and Horse. Sitting just under par with 15/864. Couple of 75s from Fifita and Drink thanks.

Deathrides today are Lemu overall, and additionally Averillo in the Elminator. A couple of Welshy's midrangers Robson and Ming in another H2H also

891 with Fifita and Lemuelu to come.

Welshy is definitely an afterthought mate

Cheers McInnes you absolute legend.

How are you going mate? I'm on 3659 with Fifita, Robson, and Lemuelu to play.

Holy McFuck!! Sure you're not double counting loops?

If not that's insane mate

Nope he's not No Horse or Manu the key factors. Just Teddy dudding it up.

Nice one DK

Above average feels a bit wrong this week. Nikora, Horse, Teddy and Manu real buzz kills.

Has something changed at the Raiders? Horse minutes super low?

TU: Take Bula's 36
TD: Play Avo

I have Drinky vs Lemuelu in a h2h game and I have 65 points to gain with either Bula/Avo and Drinky to outscore Lemu by the remainder.

Bula means I need Drinky to outscore Lemu by 29, or taking Avo can either increase, or decrease that margin.... going to be a real tight one!
