Bit out the loop, but I assume Armstrong passed his HIA and is good to go for next week?

Asked in a chat as I missed they said was nothing and he was doing interview after the game

Interesting Brailey just said he found out 24 hours ago he'd be playing in halves. Sneaky Sharks.

Listening to Nicho on Grandstand, is no sure thing for magic round.

Yeah, looked like one of those ones where he went off because he stayed down for a second rather than it actually being heavy contact so yeah, hopefully he's good to go. Looked really good out there today... could have hit close to a 60 if he played 80.

Yeah, didn't sound great for next week. He's still 100% a hold for me, but I doubt he'll be there next week.

Definitely speaking like he'll be playing before and hopefully (for him) in Origin, though, so hopefully not too bad.

It's ok mate you'll always have that early Angus buy to look back on

613/14c

Angus, Drinky and May to go.

Out all day. Had the 7yo provide updates in 2nd half of Knights win and saw the last 30 of that Sharks game.

Will watch Dragons tomorrow, next week beating the bye will likely launch us into the 8 lol

Like everyone else my fantasy team is rooted but I guess it’s a level playing field.

460/12c seems gross but not sure. Must look at yafss. Does it account for VC?

14/593c

People moaning about this season posting on FB asking for more trades. I kind of like it. It's like a Greek tragedy

My emergency bench carrying my team on their shoulders
Waddell at 18th man and Atkinson at 19th. Both coming in

Yep. I know because it tricked the shit out of me.

I don't get around to watching the games until late in the day so I keep an eye on the Fantasy scores on my phone. I was looking at the scores at the start of the Storm match and I'd gone up by about 50 a few minutes into the match and I was all like, "you fucking beauty, Harry Jesus Grant!" I thought he must have dragged 15 defenders over the line for a 40 point try. But no, he'd done nothing and Cleary's VC and now C score had just been added to my dismal total.

Will be lots of those - Armstrong, Blaize for many too.

I was trying to think about this today, but wasn't there an instance a few years ago where we got extra trades (was it 4?) for some weird reason? What was that all about? And did it happen, or am I imagining it?

But yeah, I agree, we're all in the same boat so as fucked as it is I guess we all need to deal with the same thing in our own way.

625 2 to come.

Jolleffe and Angus.

Will be happy if I can get to 700 with 15

Funny thing is I really like my team atm, they’ve just all decided to shit the bed in the same week. 

Going to try just trade Salmon and Piakura and hold Bateman, Gutho and anyone else who plans on getting injured. Don’t have Dragons who are on the Bye so should be able to field 17.

Just got an alert then from fantasy warning me Hynes is out.. Yeah cheers

No chance they should add more trades nor do I think they will, but do hope they are not totally oblivious to the fact that they need to make changes next season (increase squad size) to maintain engagement in their game.

Updated yafss to show the vice captain where the captain is injured.
