*special thanks goes out to Bryce

Carty is the premier edge forward over the last five rounds, well played

Do we get porg vouchers for winning the weekly?

Well deserved after your unlucky year last year. Nice rebound mate!

I did not enjoy last year at all

My score on desktop just went to 1114 shown on app (from 1103). Moved to 51st, and up about 1000 places on the round. So guessing it opens soon

Just dropped 15 places, so it’s almost time to do nothing for another week!

Kashyyyk Fried Porg

Overall rank went up so is now different to last rounds.
Never before have I been disappointed in a rank rise.

Open!

Hopefully Carty kicks on with his run of form for the month of August, I was 135th for the round and I don't have many rabbitohs, broncos, or cowboys in the team so I possibly could have a shot at the monthly.
But things could go downhill from here

Dropped from 252nd to 255th. Still have JDB

SJ is now more expensive than Nicho..

Tino back this week?

Sitting rank 698 and holding top 1000 I'll be happy with this year. Don't have Haas but is Tino worth a shout? I have 4 trades so I can do this with 5K spare;

Hands - Hutchinson
Penis - Tino

Gets rid of 2 round 27 players too and just gotta hope Tino is primed for some big games and doesn't get suspended. Not sure if worth just finding a way for Haas to try and maintain the rank.

I’d expect Tino to play 60-65 min and average 55-60

Logically should score more total points than Haas in a direct comparison due to bye but need to consider the replacement player

Hutchinson looks like he'll keep that spot and has hooker cover in a pinch. That helps the combo.

Unless I go Haas and get Wong if he keeps a spot. Not sure yet, we'll see. Probably with my ranking regardless of goals should do a Hail Mary play.

Liking Mitchell vs Dragons

Looked like Wong defended mostly in the middle too. #hybrid

1162 moves me up to 400th neat. Just hoping to hold a top 500 spot, but the way things are going, I'm starting to eye off top 300. Been a crazy last 3 weeks after hitting a wall around 1k for most of the season and thinking that's probably my ceiling. Could come undone just as quickly though, I played enough online poker back in the day to know that

Hahahah. Say the line Rob...

More concerned at this point that people don't actually watch the games (or don't understand what they're watching).

Dragons are bad, 5-15 is clearly bad, but they try hard and only 6 defeats are 13+.

Not like we're getting blown away. There's no fantasy attacking bonanza every week. Ask the Garrick and DCE captainers two weeks ago.

Not like Tigers get blown away most weeks either. Bulldogs feel like the sketchiest team if you want to believe in matchups. They've just managed to win more close ones.

Or Roosters have the same number of 13+ defeats as Dragons. So Captain Milford.
