Should be like NRL finals I think. Winners of 1st vs 4th and 2nd vs 3rd get a bye to final 4, losers play the winners of 5 vs 8 and 6 vs 7. Bottom two losers eliminated.

The way finals are named never makes sense to me though. Semi finals should be final 4 imo, playing for a place in the grand final, but for some reason they call that the preliminary final or something? and semi finals are the week before, which I'd call quarter finals.

Yeah the naming makes no sense. The first week being qualifying/elimination makes enough sense, but then I'd switch prelim and semi finals around the other way. Week two is the most confusing to name because it's not a quarter final or a semi final when it's just two games but not the last before the final. Maybe penultimate semi final, yeah that's not confusing at all

Only read this if you have an interest in NRL history:

Any reason for their minutes to change going forwards?

The Mod God is going to have to do it the hard way.

Mulvy.... Acknowledge me!

New to fantasy this year and I’ve come second in our H2H league, it’s saying round 24 grand final between me and the guy who came first. But on the fixtures list there’s also a game between the people who came 3rd and 4th. Does anyone know if there’s usually a playoff for 3rd place or something? I’m hoping it doesn’t mean this week is actually the semi final

Injuries, HIAs, suspensions and extremely bad luck have fucked me royally up the blurter this year. Absolutely nothing to do with my selections. Nothing.

No trades left. I'm backing a top 5,000, injuries or not. I'm already fucked in the 2nd row, but I'll slip past a few newbies in the run home for sure.

The bonus is I've flogged Matt and Flipper no matter what happens. That's the main thing. I should probably flog young Rabs as well as a bonus. lol.

Here's the Gumbies. I'm stuck with them now and they better perform if they know what's good for them. I know thugs.....bikies and Rabbits21.

Cook, Grant, Smith
AFB, Randall, Plath, May
Fifita, Howarth lol, Sorenson (dead)
Cleary, Hughes, Burton, Hands
Iro, Wighton, Cobbo
HTF, Campbell, Gray, Sharpe

STAND AND APPLAUD. GO YOU ALMIGHTY GUMBIES!

He’s a role model to young kids too was doing community work too as he does but yes they look up to him and then they’ll see this….. he needs to be more careful and take a hard look at himself and situations he puts himself into.

Welcome Aitken too stoked with this signing. It’s an upgrade on Host and Cheeks.
