    Hang on, wtf is this $hit.

    "In 2023 there will be six(6) set periods (months) as defined in the Terms & Conditions. Each month the three top-scoring entrants in that month will win prizes.

    1st: $1,000
    2nd & 3rd: $250 NRL Shop voucher"


    So for all those johnny come lates, they get $1k, the same amount as the person who finishes 3rd for the whole season?

    No offence to Foran (and Godspeed on the recovery mate) but Honeysett's hands actually glisten!

    I’ve definitely missed something from way back, but I don’t get this reference.

    Honeysett fancied himself as a bit of a Hand Model.

    Ya I lost to Cows on Parade in Grand Final

    In a related question why are the H2H finals so random as to when they start / finish. I understand the different league sizes means different lengths but why don't they all finish this week?

    They should've all finished this week but something in one of the leagues fucked up (happened to be one I was setting up so probs my fault) where it finished a few weeks back.
    I only realised once finals were started. My bad! Kept me out of finals contention though so it cost me as much as anyone else.

    - Hughes and Grant almost no chance
    - worries about Carrigan - no info, situational (was named coming off bye then withdraw), foot injuries can be difficult timeframes (see: Tago)
    - Garrick very unlikely - has been done but typically 3-5 week recovery range 
    - Manu very unlikely but they might push it due to the stakes. Huge reinjury risk tho
    - Luai he thinks maybe W2 finals, high injury re-risk
    - Thought Ponga no chance (since confirmed)
    - Kiraz is done, if reports are correct. very unusual RL injury 
    - thinks Hynes probably plays (maybe no GK)

    Obviously Harris came after but if there’s anyone else I missed give me a shout and I’ll post a summary of what was said

    No mention of Ted means he must be good to go........

    I know it's fox but hold up......Garrick a chance?

    Reuben Garrick was named in the reserves last week after fracturing his back in Round 25 but didn’t play. It’s understood he is keen to play in Manly’s final game of the year and helping his cause is the fact CEO Tony Mestrov confirmed a painkilling injection is an option and more importantly, playing with the injury won’t cause any further damage.

    Could I make a suggestion for next years FOG Leagues? Perhaps use Forum members in the appropriate leagues to set them up, like we do in draft, rather than mods teams being in several leagues.

    Also the small matter of the most prestigious league in NRLFF, the Auto-fill League, not being on that list......

    I will even do it before the drinking starts (i.e. before Mulvy arrives)

    Thanks for all of these comps and the insight throughout the season. I went through the my-team-sux-again blues a few rounds back, but am well over it now. Hope you nail the comp next week BoozeCluez.
