    What trades are you making this week?

    This question has nothing to do with our eliminator match bounce bounce bounce

    hey bro my trades will be sam walker & plath out - cleary & howarth in
    the only change will be if munster starts then i might sell hughes instead of walker but not sure as the storm play the eels & hughes could go large even with munster there

    If you are ever keen, shoot me a PM and i'll set you up with a local driver/logistics guy who we worked with. He's excellent.

    As for Fantasy related news, the Bludgers are going all in. 3 trades done, 1 left.
    J.Brails / Weekes / Plath became Fog / Grant / Howarth [picked up Cleary last week].

    Holding on for the run home.
    Knowing how my Fantasy luck works, I'd recommend you check my team list and avoid the players I'm running as they will no doubt cop an injury of some type before Rd.26.

    Best of luck for those up near the top - I ride with Chewie.

    i remember at school in geography we studied rwanda but i can't remember much about it

    Rwanda had a horrific genocide in 1994, since then there has been massive effort from multiple NGOs to help rebuild Rwanda.
    It's pretty amazing to see the progress that has been made since then. Grateful for people like "the Bludger" who go out there and make a difference cheer

     How many trades left? I have Walker and I think he scores enough to stay in my 17. Seems very luxury trade

    Almost finished - a few eps left - still good but not season 1-2 levels. Almost nothing is happening! Too many standalone episodes.

    Yeah my thoughts too, can still appreciate the production, acting etc but the story development was super lacking, felt like a real filler season.

    Seroius ? It was so much more thought provoking and left to the audience to intepret that the first 2. It will smash the Emmys.

    Most info in the western world is only about the genocide of Tutsi people in 1994 (approx 1 million massacred in 100 days).
    But, Rwanda is incredible. They have turned their nation around in less than 30 years. It is safe, and going ahead economically. The country is beautiful, the people are friendly and positive, the wild life is amazing. If you get the chance, do a tour.

    I have to concur....whinging about non stats is pretty tiresome (but I'll let it slide in the immediate aftermath of a game or round) let alone going actually go to the effort of writing an outraged email, ffs

    I would however like to be called 'righteously indignant' as it's one of my favourite phrases (maybe I was moonlighting at the NRL angry email answering department @robelgordo)

    I find myself outraged by this nefarious emailing and would happily bring my pitchfork and flaming torch to any assembly of enraged fantasy citizens

    Although equally I too would love to be labelled 'righteously indignant' - it seems like the sort of bucket list response that I'd be keen to laminate and place on my wall (if I had a laminator or was inclined to place 'life achievements' on my wall)

    As a young wannabe journo I had a mentor in Hong Kong back in the day - old English bloke who'd covered the genocide for a few outlets.

    It broke him. Never talked about it, but deep in the piss he'd show a few scars. Can't imagine what it must've been like - a million people killed in months with farming tools alone - neighbour on neighbour human-level slaughter. Boggles the mind.

    Glad the place is less traumatic now - from Top Gear alone it looks beautiful!

    If getting Cleary meant me having to navigate 7 rounds with 2 trades left I'd probably have to seriously consider going without
