906 pre-updates. Up a huge 5 places to 127th.

I traded him in this week on the premise he would he get it finally. However with the rest of the storms outsides backs looking to return shortly I feel like this was his last week to do it and now he won't get it at all this year. Oh well

Exactly! only 2 years to go!

Another sub 800 score for me after a 900+ last week. Though with 9 scores below 40, including my captain, and a nice 5 points from Oates, I couldn't expect much more.

I should have 13-15 players next week, pending team lists. Not bad considering I haven't traded in anyone just for byes. Might be able to make up some ground.

Dammit Bellamy! You could've just named Morgan 2rf and played him at Ctr like you did to Tohu earlier in the year...

Time to put the war chest to use next week, should be enough there for Hastings -> hunt, grant -> Taylor, claw -> Munster

13-15 will be gold. Looking at the same.

Nice work MF. Hot on your heels at 122nd. Up 47. Four players in that game, so maybe some updates too hopefully.

how may players does that leave you fielding round 13? everytime I try to improve byes, 13 and 19 seem to suffer

Well 845 saw me only drop 4 places... I'll take that and count myself lucky. Still well off the pace but hopefully it will be back to the climb next week when I throw some more money around!

For me, I'll have 19 in Rnd 13, so it's fine, but only 15 in Rnd 19. Though that's being fairly strict on guessing who probably won't play.
But the way I see it is round 19 is so far away that there is not much use me planning around it as I'm sure injuries will fuck shit up anyway between now and then if I tried to plan too much.

If Ted is named I could have 17 if Ted is named. It will be Round 18 that gets me, currently have 11 max. Round 19 I should have 17.

I've completely expended that 500k war chest from Round 1 as of this week. I will have to sell DeBellin next week to generate the cash to get the bye numbers I want.

@Archer

What you think you are doing mate? Origin hasn't started yet, get Friz and his short shorts back on now!!

903 for the round and up 444 places pending updates but still a step behind. I can thank Roberts, CLaw and Milf scoring sweet fuck all to counter the fact I was fortuitous enough to have both Gillett and Fifita. I'm aiming for 14 next round but that's hoping that Brock Lamb plays after that tweet from Wacko saying he's in doubt.
Really want to get Whitehead or Taylor into my team but I'd have to trade Gillett out to do it. They play 2 more rounds than him but still feels like a waste of a trade. That 88 was certainly a once off but still nothing to say he can't maintain a good average going forward. Although Bennett does like to rest his Origin stars doesn't he? If they're going really well then why risk them when he can rest them and they can still win games?

The bet was only until this week I'm afraid (It might have actually ended the week prior but the search function was too shit to find it properly so I went the safe route and gave it an extra to be certain).

The Frizz has disappeared, just like his origin career once Big Papa is done with him! Happy to place another with you for Origin though and since NSW have named such a gun side I'm sure you'll jump at it

If QLD win the series I get your avatar for 6 Rd's starting Rd 18, if NSW win you get mine for the same period?

Lamb not playing next week is not an issue as pretty much every single team still serious about Overall will have him.

The one shining light this week:

I scored the third lowest score out of all 16 teams in L2.

Still managed to grab the h2h win.

Oh shit.. Looks like Barba is in mental strife again. Poor guy
