Ah perfect. Look forward to Mcinnes’ TA and TS added in. Cheers to the casual underpaid bean counter reading this

How intriguing. So what happened that they now appear to be relatively very small in participation compared to the current NRL Fantasy format?
Just that the majority didn’t follow them to their own website. I think I only played one or two VSDT seasons then stopped. When they ran it for nrl.com the prize was usually a new car.

What a shocking round. Hynes became Shoes. 9/331 has dropped me just under 7k places, then add another 78 from my shittos so 11/409 pre my massive updates! Captain Drink still to come so a 100+ score would be most appreciated. If Mikaele could play 60 minutes that would also be very much appreciated. 7 of the 11 scored 35 or less. The worst thing is Hynes was my only out and nil injuries to account for the absolutely shit score! Any chance CNK is out tomorrow so I can get Armstrong’s score?

If things weren’t bad enough, Down dates. At least it can’t get any worse! 10 /359 (with Shoes’ 30). Captain Drink to be my saviour. Armstrong down to 42, so no urgency to get his score.

I feel Trindall lost his spot after that game.
Both McInnes and Mulitalo said its probably Atkinson's spot to lose now. Read in to that however you want.

BBrails making half the tackles as usual due to defending at 7 really sucked. Would of made 50 tonight in his usual role. Adds salt to the wound for sure.
Captain Angus today. CNK, SJ and Jolliffe as well. Could be anything.

I thought they must've found Matto's OFG with that 8 point update, but doesn't look like it.
Dylbags down 2 to 77. Sure wish he was my VC instead of Grant. What a fucking drip in the bunker (Adam Gee, fuck you). As if the stats guys don't hate him enough.
Subbing out Terrell for Atkinson's 62. Would've liked to sub Atko in for Hynes instead of being stuck with Shoes 30, but broken ass game and all.
14c/629 with Cotter, Crangus and Teddy remaining.
Weekes to come in next week, so I might have a surplus of playable backs for once.

I'd already traded him out though

Haha fuck, yeah, that would've been a shocker
I picked up Matto, Teddy and Atko this week, so not too bad unless Teddy gets knocked cold again

Cheese and Hynes mean 15 for me this week despite max trading for injuries almost every week. Glad I held piakura for 5 weeks for his 8 too. Fantasy taking the piss with that
Bateman the freshest of the batch and sounded serious? The mate i was watching with enjoyed my disgust at Bateman to the centres, then him getting injured, then my trade in Fainu moving to centre to replace him. Good times

I think what's happened is he captained someone else, saw VC Hunt's 98, and then traded out Thurston or whoever for a DNP. The sneaky fucker.
Iirc, SJ was my captain, and once I saw Bunts score, I subbed SJ to the bench and he became an AE.
Also, I was in my fantasy infancy, so these days there’s no way I would have a wfb as a reserve unless they had a wfb/mid tag on them.
