Survivor Series at Wrestlemania for all the biscuits

KPP up to 47, got his tackle busts added thankfully.

I thought he was always on 47?

Sheesh if TLT goes very poorly (Api & Rapana out, Talagi dropped, Chan not named) then I could have 8 red dots (the others being Galvin, Piakura, Teddy, Sitili)

Half trolling, half serious in the past - but I’ve said a few times, is Robbo that good?

Squad had mad depth, rarely loses a player they don’t want to lose*, always has an immediate replacement lined up for that player anyway, basically only Broncos have more in-built advantage. Storm maybe as well, but as soon as Bellamy retires, that’s done

Despite that, Bradbury’d into the finals last year blaming injuries. But this season still look clunky.it shows how much winning a premiership gives you a lot of slack to be bang average. A coach with a similar record except no GF win would be feeling the heat IMO



*except that time Latrell suggested maybe he could see his market value and they withdrew their offer like a giant baby

Was on 41 pending update didn't filter through until last night

Another coach hot(?) take - maybe Holbrook was actually pretty good?

Ahh nice one

I didn't watch the Eels game, but I'm feeling buyers remorse about Brown. What happened compared to the previous week against the Tigers when they weren't dreadful?

Eels struggled completing sets especially in canberra's 20, never really got into the game
Brown wasn't too bad, Gutho was terrible though

Don't spoil it, this is my safe place until I get to watch it tonight haha

Fanhub are probably busy watching the Wrestlemania event

Keith Barnes passed away. Obviously before everyones time here, except maybe 1 person. Probably a bit underrated, as overshadowed by Churchill before and Langlands after in history. I guess they won comps and Balmain did not…

Him and Langlands came from the same junior club, the long defunct Wollongong RLFC.

Also Barnes was Welsh, coming to Australia at 15 and learning RL at high school in the Gong. I assume he’d probably played a bit of Union before. Still time for Welshy Jr to follow in the footsteps!

Is he a lost cause? or just have to ride it out and hope the big scores offset the mediocrity? I've also got Cheese, Lussick and Levi so not short on HOK (though Levi is gone the second he stops making money)

Probably could have got 50 this week but he had to come off for a bit. Definitely not a lost cause.

oooo losing more points. we must be getting close

edit: it was talagi and kris

Don't mean to harp on it, but VSDT and Supercoach religiously open somewhere between 9-10am on a Monday morning. What is the extra shit they do at Fantasy every week, for three (and counting) extra hours? Curious minds must know. Well, at least this one does.

Do they all roll in the office around 9am, have a few snacks and coffees and slowly pick a selection of eight groups and each group, or pair, or individual or whatever it is goes off and rewatches each match in it's entirety from about 10am, just to double check the scores? Then they have a collaborative session at the end of the matches, around midday, to determine any last minute changes?

I must know what the extra ingredient is that is not required by VSDT or Supercoach.

Anyone play AFL SC and Fantasy, and is it the same there?

To be completely honest, whether it opens or not isn't really overly important until TLT anyway, I guess, but it just seems like an unnecessary frustration.

Came up against the perennial wooden spooner in our friends league. She chooses her players based on smiles. She has SJ Captain, Timoko and Ponga and absolutely smoked me this weekend
