Wouldn't that be too much money to keep as a reserve player? Money better spent cashing out/upgrading.

I think having a good 18th man will be pretty essential, with byes along with stuff like HIAs etc.

The hope is to flick him to a gun forward but depends on backing up. Yeo would be nice

Both origin games have been fairly lopsided , not the close physical brutal afairs. Only a couple of forwards have played big mins. Most the big guns shouldn't need a rest unless injured. Backs don't count, cause forwards win the big games.

I was only 72 hrs behind schedule but the eliminator draw has been posted. Top 51 on byes and just 13 matchups - so a nice gentle start

650 seems an OK score but mad I tried to be clever and got Tago instead of JC. Can I make the 1.1m instead of 700k itb worth that stupid move? JC high owned in top 5k and looks like will keep scoring well and will get HLF DPP

Happy enough to drop a couple of k's in rank, if it meant banking a couple of trades and getting further Info on what injuries could be held or not.

Well, I'm set for my worst season by far probably since I started Fantasy in 2017. Have played on and off since that time.
CNK, Koula and Aitken all injured. Shambles.

Score of 700 for the round takes me up a couple of hundred ranks to 514. Solid. Aitken should be my only issue but a couple of upgrades probably needed.

Totally forgot I had Penis. Just checked score and happy with that. Makes Tago instead of JC more stupid as have Hands and Iro so will be forced to trade for 17 if player out and probably hold those bye players now

I have been crunching some numbers
There are 7 Rounds left this season.
Chewie is only 1,089 points ahead of me in the FOG.
This means I only need to outscore Chewie by 156 points every week between now and R27 to obtain my rightful place at the top.
If the Eels can sneak into the 8 by winning their remaining 6 games and having a host of other results go their way, then surely there is a still a chance of me winning the FOG

Whilst not impossible, it is much harder to perform mathematical functions on flippers verses hands.

I stand corrected. That is now just 137 points per round I need to make up. I have got some next-level Rabbits-21 style PODs that are going to sweeten the deal.
Buoyed by this news, I am going to donate 10 AUD to the TAB on the Eels to win the comp...
The 5,000 AUD I win at the the end of the year is gonna be so sweet

Eels v Tigers going to be the spoonbowl that ends all spoonbowls in R27
I don’t have Eels winning a game until then

Yeah when I did a ladder predictor Eels were dead last. Tigers to get a couple of wins at home puts them comfortably clear of Eels
