    i don't think anyone here wants to see you knocked off top spot mate.

    it is what it is though, its just a game afterall.

    will definitely suck if you get run down.

    If Garrick and Hynes are done for the fantasy season, I'd ideally trade them to Manu and Carrigan.

    Also looking at holding Garrick, Hynes, Teddy and Murray and get 17 on the park this week with VTW to Weaver and Sandon to Manu. Can also loop Garrick over Weaver if he did suit up and Weaver tanks.

    VTW locks tonight though, so would need to pull the trigger earlier than I'd like.

    Would the first lot of trades get you 17 this week and (at this stage) 17 next week?

    Like I said it wasn't about that, I joined the thread to start catching up here
    Hope the sharks can still put up a fight, the fantasy side you just have to laugh about it as you can't control injuries
    Doesn't mean I take pleasure in it but thats up to the individual and what they enjoy

    Yeah mate, Bula really the only non-gun apart from getting lucky with McLean appearing scoring 38. Sandon would be 18th man this week.

    Next week is dicey. Hopgood, Yeo, Sandon, VTW and McLean make up the 17-21 with more potential carnage to come. 0 trades to deal with that.

    I remembered MTB mentioning Saab's presser about Garrick, watched it and locked Garrick to Manu back in for the 6th or 7th time haha.

    I think there is a fair bit of black humour involved in the gags (maybe not all the posts but most) it's just that most don't have as much riding on it as you.

    Just so you know, everyone is definitely backing you in. If you can keep your nose in front this week there should be some troops back next week to push you over the finish line (but you know this of course).

    How many trades do you have left?

    Haha farrkkk it really rained carnage eh, and I feel lucky to have benefitted from it even in my main mini league... after being on the wrong end of looping for the last 3 weeks glad to have a bit of luck as my main competition has hynes VC and only 6 red dots now with3 trades.

    Grant
    Yeo Horse Haas
    Batman Ipap
    SJ (VC) (C)hin
    Manu Avo
    Teddy Drinky Ponga
    Fifi Matto HynesMurray
    Graham Garrick Hands Bula

    Hynes -> DCE

    Then I get to see how bula goes, if he scores poor, Garrick into Walsh or Gagai and it's the bare 17 with 0 trades for the final weekend of mayhem

    Cmon mate you're better than to get personal over a game, surely? Everyone here, including yourself, is playing to do the best they can, and Hynes out actually helps some more than others gain some ranks. It's the reward for holding trades throughout the year when making a trade would of been much easier than to hold and hope for an advantage late in the season, such as this.

    I'm sure you've had some situations this year where injuries, late outs or rogue origin selections have benefitted you more than others... and FWIW I, as well as everyone else on here, hopes you hold on and take the W.

    Shit mate I am sorry if I offended you with the comment. I thought it was more celebrating the carnage rather than the injury to one of your players (and sharks players whom I now understand you support) after openly asking for some carnage last week and have a few well humored jibes pointed at me during the week.

    It's just a game and I was enjoying the banter being thrown my way and jesting back a little. Again, didn't mean to trigger you mate - sorry.

    Well shit, with the Hynes news the only way I can get 17 players on the park this week is if I use my last trade on a red dot and hope Garrick plays now.

    If Garrick and Hynes are both out next week as well then I'll also have a maximum of 16 available next week too, even after trading one of them.

    It all comes crashing down...

    Broken back.. apparently he can't make it worse but would need a needle to play.

    Can't see him personally being risked given their seasons over

    I've set up a bit of looping shenanigans so hopefully I don't fuck it up.

    Team this week:

    Grant
    Hopgood (57) Yeo (51) Haas
    IPap Fifita
    Cleary (166) SJ
    Manu Lemuelu
    Ponga Drinkwater Munro

    Munster Bateman Hynes Murray

    Russell Graham Bula Tracey

    If Russell scores well I get a free look at Graham. Then either take Graham's score and loop Bula and Tracey in my last WFB spot or if Graham goes shit loop in both Bula and Tracey.

    If Russell goes shit then I'll play the other 3.

    I think that works. Maybe.

    Then next week will be my last trade of Hopgood to anyone and hopefully Hynes is back.

    Tertiary level looping. Looks like it works to my eye.

    Manu's ceiling this week is 100, then back to CTR next week. Probably scores you 100-110 pts

    iPap likely 55-60 each week

    Honestly that's a coin flip
