Horse/Teddy/Manu/Robson the big "Problems"

Also have JDB

2 trades left which means I can't trade out Moses & Hopgood later in the year

Hoping Harrison Graham is magically back next week if Robson is out

Missed the game, did Robson come back on or get ruled out?

1074 for me this week, got lucky and missed all the carnage.

Hesitate to ask this, but what was the Penis news?

He was HIA’d woth 13 mins left so didn’t have time to come back

Unsure which category it was

It was less than 15 to go when he went off, so didn't hear whether he passed or failed HIA. To this non-doctor, it looked more like jaw/teeth than concussion, so suppose it'll get checked out in the week.

Haha I was just having a laugh mate. I’m not overly enthused about playing him

Penis is fine mate, I was just trying to fuck with Rob for our Eliminator match-up.

I won't be doing anymore of those false rumours

Hey @ynot a minor thing, but for the yaffs screen after the round, can you include the median score along with the average? I think it would be interesting to see how skewed the distribution of scores were. Cheers mate! Buying a coffee for you as we speak.

Can't seem to get our of the teens, feel like I've been there treading water for months, making up no ground on the top guys and getting caught up by the rest. Feels a bit like an opportunity missed having been in the top 20 since R7.

962 this week, 17th. Would have been 1000 exactly but for a late and marginal decision to play Lemuelu over Cheese's 42. Coulda, woulda, shoulda.

No trades needed this week because for some reason went JDB to Haas last week, partly freaked by his minutes with Bird on bench (wrong), partly because he'd been charged four times in 14 games and thought he was a walking suspension (right).

Will do!

Anyone else zone out of the 4th Test and assume England won? I'd been following the 5th thinking it was the decider and we're somehow still a chance of retaining despite England's 2nd innings. Turns out the 4th Test was washed out and we've already retained

Cotter and Lemuelu put the breaks on another good round ending on 972. Think I'll be finding a way to put Cotter at 18 until I absolutely have to play him

Smart move this week for me is probably just to do JDB to Garrick and save a trade by holding Null. Need a CTR with Avo on bye. Means I will only have one guy covering both mid & edge though.

Null wouldn’t have been useful this week anyway with this CAT1

Very annoying hold over his bye, multiple times I entertained the thought of moving him to another CTR but held for obvious reasons. Now we deal with a 4 and a missed game

Hmm will the Sharks just be running Tracey at fullback? Who else is there? Dykes out for the season.

Will they think about moving Hynes there

Lemmy was my edge cover.  I have so many backs the only forward I have on the bench is Colq and that's after trading JDB lol!

Although, I reckon Colq is playable for the next 5 weeks if he slots straight back into the starting role.

I have 6 centres, WTF?!

We can only hope he slots back in. Have a feeling he was one and done though

I did, these days with the standard so low and the focus on 20/20 I pretty much score check test matches only and 5 tests, 5 days, media.. I was wondering whose on first.

The rain has halted Australia's charge toward a famous victory. Cruising at 0/135 before it set in.

914 for the round, not too bad
I expected more from captain DCE, he actually had a pretty solid game irl, it just didn't translate into fantasy points
It was worth the punt though
