I saw something earlier from that prat the lurker but rightfully ignored it but apparently. Sharks officials have come out and said they've sent him home to be with his parents for a few days after a few small indiscretions

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.
I didnt actually plan to have a war chest, it just worked out that way because i'd gather funds to upgrade to a gun, but then i'd just end up trading sideways to planned gun from the one i own that just got injured.

That happened a few weeks ago during the rep round. I can't find any evidence of anything new. Hopefully there's nothing else.

I posted this just before, are you guys ignoring me!!!!
For those that cbf reading it these are the main points from it:
Seems to suggest it was the thing weeks ago and that its a slow news day... which would match up with the lurker having a 'scoop'dailymail wrote:
Ben Barba was sent home to Mackay, QLD, after the alcohol-fueled incident
He had a heated argument with team mate Sosaia Feki over a card game
The Cronulla Sharks star then had a row with pregnant wife Ainslie
The Sharks' CEO said: 'He broke out on the grog and doesn't handle it'
Barba has returned to training with the team after the May 7 altercation

Chill out, bro. I saw you
But that's old news. I was concerned that something else had happened if it's just being brought up now.

Yeah it happened ages ago but for whatever reason it's only just having articles about it (the date for that being published is yesterday).... I'd put that down to the media needing to find something before they dip into the 'Origin Exclusives' bucket.zorasdomain wrote:

The thing that is up is the Sharks. Up the ladder, that is. And the media can't be having good news stories about the Sharks, that's not their thing. Better dig up some old dirt on a story that was nothing much when it actually happened weeks ago. He's played 2 games since then and done great.

Whoa, was nervously awaiting the updates with my 13 point H2H lead. Turned out to be a 35 point win 
Cheers SI, I don't see the updates until around 1:15am on the website. 2 less hours of stress saved
What a beast Munster was, took Radradra head-on a least twice for try savers, the second one with one arm. Fielding kicks with one arm etc. Crazy shit.
Had been considering trading Ma'u for ET because of my H2H byes. Only one extra game for ET though, so probably a wasted trade.

Welcome.
Not sure if everyone caught it, but Monty from FanLeague did let FanHub know in person that it was taking an hour or 2 longer for the updates to hit the main site. They said they weren't aware of it but would look at it. That was about 6 weeks ago...

Im so over this game. I am cursed, no other way to describe it. Every single thing I do means I lose points every single week. I just want 1 year without all this fucking bullshit.

You certainly have some of the worst luck. Figure 1 year it has to come together for you as far as injuries go. In saying that you have been in L2 for 3 years straight or something? Maybe even L1 a couple of years ago? That means year after year you are doing better than most.

Weirdos, that's who.
Ps: Lockout over peeps, it has the bye players already filled out so you can get an early look at how you are shaping up pre team lists.

My trades are done, pending team lists, though unless something unexpected happens they should be good to go.
I'm grateful this bye week has come now. I'll have a better chance of being able to ignore it all this week and get stuff done.
