I am on 849 (Expecting B. Barba to update to push me over 850. I also have A. Fifita, M. Mbye, K. Holland to update as well.)

I have J. Hastings and L. Mitchell so hoping I can get close to 950 points for this week. The only poor score coming from K. Holland when I could have played M. Aubusson.)

I have (C)Friend and Hastings to go but am already almost on the score I finished on last week, though that's not saying much. But my trades this week were 1 downgrade and 1 sideways (JDB out), so an improvement on last week is a bonus.
Had 4 play today so hoping for upgrades. Should get above 850 by the end of the round but probably won't make 900 unless Friend goes huge.

Okay, cool. I guess I just consider him a bit of a risky player to pay over 400k for. But I've had him from the start and sat through his hopeless first 6 rounds, with sin-binnings, suspensions and all scores in the 20s and 30s. But he does look like a completely different player in the last few weeks. Hopefully he keeps it up.

Yeah I suppose 420k is a lot for a back but as I posted he's a Mansour/Taukeiaho mix & his tackle breaking ability & work rate where he roams & goes looking for the ball means the risk is worth it plus I need a big scoring back atm. I realise he could just as easily score a 30 but it's fun watching him play.

707/13 with Hastings, Aubs, Ferg & Mitchell. Averages place me at 871 but hopefully will hit 900 if upgrades are kind.
When I saw CS9'S score had dropped this morning I was surprised as I'm sure he got a tackle break but none was given.

I'm 772 with Hastings Mitchell and Ferg to go. Think my chance of 900 has slipped away.

Letdowns incl Johnson Parker Taupau Jtrbo and Lamb just not being my best 4th reserve choice.

Had a good weekend. Went to the double header and had a tour of the stadium before the matches. I am 845 with Napa, Hastings and Mitchell. With some good scores could be getting close to 1000.

Around 850 with Hastings + Mitchell to go

Looks like 900 easy

Good stuff. How did you score the tour?

724 with Maubbs/Hastings/Latrell/Taia to come. Speaking of super POD's , Grant's last 3 non-injury-affected games have been 51, 46, 52 (pending).

I won a comp a few weeks ago. The prize was tickets to the game plus the tour.

I have Grant too & he really ran hard today & making 43 tackles in 50 minutes was a great effort.

Awesome. You get to say you were at Suncorp with the biggest non-Origin crowd ever as well.

769 with Latrell and Hastings to go. I don't even know what's going so wrong for me to be so far behind everyone else. Rein hasn't hit a 50 since I've had him but got 48 and that's only 5 less points than most people's 2nd Hooker in Parcell. Captain Fifita got 65 which isn't Smith's 76 but it's still good and while I had to play B Law and Lamb in my 17 this week other people had to play or chose to go with Gutherson and his 14 so I don't know where I'm going wrong.
Below 50 scores from Cartwright and Gillett as well as everyone above me owning Whitehead and Milf for some is probably what's bringing me down.

Hoping it's him living up to his potential and NOT the fact he was put in a position to have to perform today.

735 with Evans, Hastings, Aubusson, Mitchell to go.

Averages see me pushing close to 900, but I'd be happy with 850 really. Few of those guys just hanging around for bye cover ro the right time to offload before shipping them out.

He looked a lot fresher today so the 2 or was it 3 weeks off seemed to have helped him getting over the niggles he had cause he was carrying knee/ankle problems. It was mentioned pre season that he had a very high ppm so today backed that up so hopefully he carries on.

Any word on the Matamoras injury? Didn't get a chance to sub him out and got hit with Gutherson 18

824 with Hastings and Mitchell to go (350th overall live)
Holland & Gutherson's low scores hurting a bit, but would rather take the hit now and benefit long term (hopefully!)

767 with Hastings, Fergo and Mitchell to go.

My teams not great but I'm satisfied with the week. Would be happy with 850 to be honest, but if the Roosters can tear some shit up, may push closer to 900, but optimistic.

My Gordon upgrade to Munster didn't work, but no doubt Munster will outscore Gordon by tonnes by the end of the year. A 42 with Munster having no real attacking opportunity is impressive. I'm quite happy with Mansours 42 also. I think he'll be stuck in my team all year, but 40 odd from him is respectable.

I'm a big Parcell fan too, and as long as he's getting 70-80 minutes, I'll be keeping him. Thank fuck for that 5 minute bullshit frenzy from Fifita at the end too.

SJ is a worry though, but he ain't going anywhere. Claw is a lazy ass bastard too.

I also got 769 with latrel and Hastings to go. I had to play gutherson, lamb, vunivalu, and Bateman in my 17 this week. Score also hurt by Parker, barba, jturbo.

I'd be happy if I can snag 850.

I'd be worried as fuck if I had Parker going into the origin period. He's going to be rested big time I reckon. Will be hell cheap post origin.
