I had my first L10 win.

909. Might finally get into four digit rank territory next week. Funny I had this thought a couple of weeks ago, when my rank was 100 more than it is now, but then I decided to captain Papenhuyzen, so I’ve just pretty much made up lost ranks this round.

972 and snuck into the YAFSS rich list

Actually, forgot Burbo will need to go first.

Honestly, I don't like this move. Doesn't make sense to trade out someone who is most likely a keeper/borderline?

864. 28k to 21k

At least it’s in the right direction. Annoyed I may have yet again picked the wrong cheapie. I’d say I’m in for quite a run of good decisions at some stage, maybe in 2027 who knows.

Hutch and Levi will be leaving next week. Not sure who comes in but as long as they have a functioning respiratory system that should be enough to improve my team

Does the user "Pain" still post here?

Haven't seen him around?

First good score of the year for me, 944 to take me from 12k odd to 4.5k

Love this from one of the forum MVPs

My lot were rocks and diamonds to the max. Add JC to my injury and poor score list alongside Murray, tatola, and “Poopouniua”

But I have to say the rest of the team really aimed up and brought some respectability to proceedings, and after repeated smitings the fantasy gods allowed OT for captain fog so I’ll take the little wins

877 all out

Pretty sure he was posting a little here and there early season

Lucky 8s 888 all out for me (before downdates )

Up from 25K to 15K in ranks + won all my h2h matches.

Overall decent round

962

Don’t feel like there are many must haves this week? Iro if he keeps his spot the only one standing out.

Kini to return next week? How will I be able to possibly choose between Chevy, Russell, or Kini as my third FB? I mean it’s like trying to choose the child you dislike the least!

Three candidates for future episodes of ‘Know Your Shitto’

7 injuries/concussions in 2 rounds

At what stage do I ethically need to start warning these players about them being in my fantasy side?

Someone please tell me which WFBs to pick. I cannot get a single WFB pick right

Last year I bought ones at peak price and they played like shit and this time I try and buy underpriced players and they play like shit

(Granted Stewart didn’t play shit and played way better than a 19)

Reckon Des has to roll with Brimson there, looked great after Campbell went off. Weaver can play with Foran.

The problem for Des is it's ultimately just shuffling the problems around the field.

What a weekend! A 900 in Fantasy (just outside the top 5k), 1000 in Dreamteam, and a 1200 in SC! No injuries or suspensions (yet). Four twenties, in my 910 too. To think what might have been.

Sweating on some updates tonight. Hopefully Fog and Kris see a bit of retrospective love from the supervisors

830 from 15 players. Get this though... I decided to go Mariota to Iro and forego his 23 points, started the season with Ata, needed his score every week. Instead of doing Henry (Liam) to Iro, I thought I was doing the right thing by being patient and keeping Henry and then Mariota goes and bangs out a 58 tonight. Absolute shambles. All said and done I should have maybe traded Chan to Iro in hindsight.
