Hopefully ET gets some good minutes I know today I think he got extra but after next round im bringing him in for Blaw for sure may even be a straight swap if we're lucky

Those are some nice updates for Barba! That'll bring me up to 855 with Mitchell and Hastings to play!

Scores level. My Aubo vs his Fergo

What are you doing tomorrow night?

No updates for Tolman? Shouldn't get too greedy I guess, +18 from Barba and Lamb takes me to 849 with Ferg and Hastings to come. Wouldn't mind a repeat of last start for them..

Not fantasy relevant (until next year) but Jarryd Hayne quitting NFL to play Olympic Rugby for Fiji. Presumably back to the NRL next season...

Tolman went down to 40.

Phillips a possible downgrade option?

Yeah just heard that too. Interesting on many levels, but I guess first and foremost on this forum it will be fun to hear where people think he may end up next season, who has the cap space?

In terms of playing sevens for Fiji at the Olympics one would have to wonder how deep his talks have gone with them. Perhaps star power alone might get him into the squad of 12? but with only one tournament to go before the Olympics (next week in London I think), and A Fiji side which is currently No. 1 and a side which has only just recently brought 5 new pro 15 a side players into their squad, its gonna be very tough for him to be selected (they've have to omit at least 7 guys already to get their final 12 so Hayne has to compete with all those fullahs). At best he rides the bench and he essentially just brings the star power factor I reckon.

From an NFL perspective, its a bit a shame. Hayne has had the best chance and best run of any League/Union player trying to convert. He did amazingly well but in the end it would appear that wasn't good enough. Just far too intricate a game for someone to try and pick up late in their sporting career (which is what NFL people have been saying for years). On the flip side though the US 7s team has at least 2 ex-NFL players (perhaps more, don't follow them that closely).

O well the Hayne story just keeps getting more  interesting. He's kinda like a poor mans SBW

872 with Hastings & Mitchell to go

Any chance of Fergo snagging another hat trick against the Tits?

726/13 with Hastings, Aubs, Ferg & Mitchell to play. Hoping that the Roosters thrash the Titans tonight like the Storm did last week.

With updates to yesterday's games my live ranking is now 1st. I knew I was having a good week but after slipping down to 15th earlier in the weekend I didn't think I would be able to make up the difference.

I will stay first as long as Napa and Hastings out score Friend.

Well done mate.

Yeah nice one Tark!

Just dont start beating your chest like a baboon and screaming from the rooftops like a certain someone did a few years ago as we all know how that went. (Hint - He fell harder then a sack of shit filled with bricks).

Yeah I don't think it will last too long. I have always been a h2h player so bye planning is a completely new concept to me and I have no idea how well my team will make it through

Will Hayne get a big discount when he comes back to the Roosters next year?

Any news on Farrah? I hope he's ok, but from a fantasy perspective is Ennis next in line?

The guy in 2nd overall appears to have Friend as captain (and De Belin as a reserve, who you'd think he would have traded out this week) so he'd be short odds to take the lead.

Great effort being up there though, hopefully you can stay up in those heights
