I really want to get Flogler. It's probably next week or post-origin.

I think the easiest solution to stopping players from diving is to not have your players run decoys where they end up standing in the defensive line and then get all ‘surprised pikachu face’ when they get pinged for obstruction, it’s not like they haven’t had like 4 years to figure it out and still manage to do it every other game.

Are Manly that team now who rise up for the big games but then play down to the plodders?

I've been meaning to say thankyou for all of the Birthday wishes last week. So, thankyou all!
It's always a worry singling someone out on here (who could forget the Chewie debacle of 2022 when our favourite Wookie made a rookie dookie and excluded 93% of the Forum). Although to his credit, Chew slowly dragged it back via 13 edits to eventually only ostracise 87% of us!
But a special shout out to NW for climbing up on top of the Leichhardt scoreboard to announce my 50th![In Love](/users/1815/16/08/62/smiles/2267513368.gif)

Good stuff. I hope your fantasy team sucks slightly less than mine.

i was out today and just catching up.
Looks like I made a mistake in trading out Flanagan a couple of weeks ago. I still own Levi and Shoes
Also, the obstruction rule has been like this for many, many, years now.
Rather than complain about it, I think a good idea would be for teams to practice running decoys that don't stop in the line or impede any defenders

Currently scored just 190/5
Lots of players still to play, so could do anything by the end of the round.

I see your Flanagun trade out and raise you a Cook trade out.

My problem with it isn't the decoys that do actually genuinely impede defenders. It is that now the defenders run towards the decoy rather than at the guy with the ball.
Don't get me wrong, I don't like decoys, generally speaking, especially when it's someone I have in Fantasy and he runs at the line without the ball twenty times more than he does with it. But I don't think it's ever been milked as much in the past as it seems to be this year already.
Like I said above, I just feel that it is not only encouraging, but also rewarding shit behaviour, and this isn't good for anyone.

Turbo should update quite a bit for all the tries I thought he should have scored. I wrote to Fiona so will update you all and let you know.

So, when the dust settles, how large should my couch be?

I just spent 25mins looking at the FOG League geez some of you have like 10 players still left and good ones there is going to be lots getting above 750 this week I reckon that would be great score in such a carnage round…… then there is me who will be struggling to get anywhere near 700 at this rate with my 15 players
heck I mightn’t even crack 650!
