Sea Eagles v Rabbitohs changes:

Reason 1: Every man and his dog's got him
Reason 2: Front row blues
Reason 3: He's losing money
Reason 4: Trades to burn
Reason 5: Surgess is the new Aubusson

And Chewie is still drunk.

Damn I'm glad I didn't reverse my backline trade for the umpteenth time and bring Lewis Brown back in after the Trbjovic news. The prospect of him playing 80 in the SR almost pulled me back into that web, thank fuck he's locked out now.

Estimated score of 803 based on completed scores + averages.
Don't think I'll quite hit that this week unless Captain Cam cracks out an 80 in which case I won't move in the rankings too much anyway.

I want some of whatever you've got mate

Chewie: keep chewing, don't swallow.

So the leader of the comp has scored 281 from 5 with captain played being Parcell.

Parcell (C) 56
Surgess 34
Taupau 42
Walker 57
HHunt 36

Looking at this my only envy is I have Garvey and he has Parcell. Probably should have done the sideways trade.

Next problem is I don't think I will be making any ground this week.

Him Me

Parcell C 112 Smith C
Graham Woods
Taupau 42 Blaw 30
Mannering Merrin
Parker Munster
Mybe TMM
Claw Croker
HHunt 36 Dugan

Going to be a long season.

I don't think so, not yet.

Surgess has been put on notice, he's lucky that my team is still in emergency recovey mode from the day Lichaa got injured in round 1..

If Aubusson can survive in my team for 5 rounds...
Surgess should be pretty safe!

i think surgess is going to be stuck in the "front row" for a while, with brown looking solid and grevsmuhl strong on the edge. still, he played 80 mins so if he keeps that up the big scores will come

Just heard on the radio here in NZ Milford is in doubt tonight?

Anybody else in NZ can confirm they heard the same thing?

APRIL FOOLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

thought as much aha

Craig Garvey appreciation post. He enraged Dogs fans with his dummy half passes sailing above people's heads and not looking when he passed the ball but he stepped up to play the 80 minutes admirably and tackled his heart out.
I was expecting some mid 40's to low 50's scores from him but in 3 weeks he busted out two 65+ scores and made 150k which has got to be up there with the biggest price rises in a short amount of time. Cheers for the points and money

You and him can both go and get stuffed. My SOSMS(scared of scott moore syndrome) really let me down with Garvey

Who knows, Lichaa might play Monday night and realize he's not ready yet, or re-injure himself because they rushed him in... and then Garvey will be back next week

He's had the same 5 players play as I have but I've also had T-Turbo and didn't captain Parcell

I'd be stoked if I could stay in the top 2,000 for now but I don't see that happening.
Reckon 838th in week 5 will be my peak for the year. I had a good run! (for four weeks haha)

Falling behind a bit to chase the cash early on so I can complete my final team ASAP. Pretty much trading in keepers only from here on out.

Most people that got on Garvey waited a week to see his scores so really only made 120k if that makes you feel any better. I went with Walker over Garvey and in the same time he has 126k and still has a chance to pump out points
