I axed Critta last week and he gets 45
Not doing so well in this

This week it’s Wong and Jed to KPP and Gutho. Not much can go wrong there, surely

One Crichton to another has worked well

I went to Angus but thought the safer play was Fainu so swapped the trade. Saddest moment for this team so far this year.

UPDATE AFTER 5 ROUNDS

THEGAME leads after his bonkers R4 and is comfortably inside the top 10000 despite a slightly down R5 score of 698. Bought in Fog, held Cook, got Angus straight away - it's been some savvy business. Would be 44th in FOG e.g. tracking for L3

Teeth Eater only 29pts back in 2nd, with all the way down to 6th pretty close.

Bit of a gap from 6th to 7th, AKA the first team that knee-jerked Cook to Lussick and cost themselves a lot of points. 150pts off 1st is still very gettable with the right moves, that can easily be made up in 3-4 weeks with a bit of luck. At the moment that 150 points translates to about 25,000 places behind 1st, shows how condensed the overall leaderboard is.

I'm in 8th and did the same Cook-Lussick move amongst other dubious trades.

Congrats if you managed to hold Chevy Stewart this long, patience (and other fires) paying off!

So, just thought I'd have a look at this team. Anyone else only got one hooker who's got an absolute fuckwit for a coach and thus isn't playing (for now) this week? How very awkward.

On a positive note, at least there's no pondering about whether or not to get Chevy into this team.

Traded Chevy in round 4, hope it doesn’t come back to bite me.

At least 1 trade for a hook this week.

So I’m guess the popular choice is Captain Nico.

Popular trade Cook to Robson or Harry ?

Wow 3 60s and a 70 from the Thursday Game !!

270/4

I actually held Cook and went early on Brailey. Wouldn't have considered it - yet - in my real team, but I guess that's what this one's for, to take the wild leaps.

Not off to a very good start, that leap, lol.

376/7 (Nico Captain to come)

429/8, Hynes (c) also to come.

I do have Hughes' 31 to loop in if Cook is actually out this week. Should've looped Arthars in hindsight. I never remember the loops I might ever set up in this anyway, but your post inspired me to check on what's going on here.

I actually wonder if I take the 31 over Finefeuiaki.

419/9 for me, captained Hynes. Traded out Boyd for Blore this week, and got rid of cookie a couple weeks ago so no stress there. Savings one trade too. Happy that I had the equal second highest score last week, caught me back up to the pack a bit.


Edit: oh! Looks like I accidentally left the C on Hopgood. Oh well.

I forgot I still had Boyd in this. Fortunately can still reverse and get him out

695/13C

Fog / Sloan / Flano / And a new trade in to come

Looks like I'll just scrape in with 17, but scraping the bottom of the barrel, holding both Cook and (unwillingly) Boyd.

If Chevy can score about 150 this week I should be right in this one, and my main squad.

140 will do.

856

866, beat my real team by 10 this week. But have max traded

803. Looks like I'm bringing my terrible choices to this team too. Can I get a refund or exchange on Chevy still?

Oh, lol, just realised we had him already. Wish I could use that excuse for my real team...

827 pre-updates this week. Have a few issues I need to sort out with Burbo and JC injuries as well as Blaize being out. Missed out on 10 points by looping Chevy in over Burbo.

Captains choice this week an interesting 1.

If Ponga wasn’t playing being needled, it would be easy choice and if they get out to a big lead is he rested ?
