I think work tends to get busier than normal for most people with eofy coming up.

And with the amount of accountants on the forum that then snowballs for a few months after EOFY.  Good to see you post a big score last week Krumpy, it's been a pretty average year for you.

I'm leaning towards Mansour>Toutai over Hastings>Bunt on off chance Hastings gets spot back but would really like to VC Bunt next 2 rounds

I am looking for a way to keep Hastings for a couple of more weeks as well. At this stage it means I can't bring in Bhunt for another week, but I can deal with that. Just looks set to grab a few TA's this week and is one of the best halves for finding a way through lesser attacks and scoring a meat pie.

Lol your not helping my fear of not getting Bunt

a minimum of 3 tries against the Knights
no Jennings to steal a try of him
no h2h for me this week
my overal standing is...

Tempting, but the Monday night game kills off the Loophole. I will VC Bhunt if I do bring him in and go the safe play with Graham. Jimmy is due a try!

...in fact it's hard to see him not scoring a brace against the mighty Tigers

I've managed to squirrel away a few trades so i'll make up plenty of ground over the byes but top 1000 is normally my minimum goal and that looks a long way away. Looking through the overall league at least I'm not languishing alone, some very good coaches there copping a beating this year.

Not wrong. That bottom half is a who's who of Sportal. I could be making shit up, as usual, but does anyone else remember the gap points-wise between say 5000th and 500th being so close halfway through?

This.

Not sure whether to keep Dugan or trade him to aitken, have 18 trades left coming into this round

Is lolohea to Hughes worth it? Seeing as Hughes will play 2 games with hopes of avg 30 points in each game

I'm in the top half. Just. Slipping away and considering I cbf bye planning I will slip further. At least I won't finish 3rd last like last year.

Just as an aside, didn't Jarome Hughes start with your mob? Maybe Under 20's? If so, did you ever see him play?

You had a terrific start. Have you banked many trades for that slip off or just a bad run?

I think everyone just got better, I'm focused on getting my final 17 so been getting as many cashies in as I could and build from there.

Hoping to storm home ala Eels in 2009

Jack was my idol growing up.  All hail Jimmy!

I loved gary jack, was a youngen then, jonathan docking my fave all time FB though.

Why would paulo want a release ?

Wasnt it stated that the dinner table pic is actually from 2015 ?

Cant fathom why any club would want Trex
A shadow of his former self, like Dtaylor.

I am in the exact same situation as you.  Can get Graham but that's with two downgrades, or can get ET and Aitken but with just one downgrade.  My halves are also SJ and Milf.  I'm leaning towards Graham though.

For some reason i dont want Graham, and i have Bj and Jroberts already in the centres. Plus the halves u mention.
May end up going aitken, which goes against my preseason promise of messing around with centres so much.
Have Elijah already. I thought the three trades week would iron out some pain, but it just annoying me haha !

I'm not a big Graham fan either, it was only obviously his scores and the captain option this week was the reason I was looking at him. I'd personally rather Aitken and ET though, but that would mean my backs would be absolutely stacked, but whatever. Youd think Graham getting a 60, ET and Aitken should be good for around 100, so I might have to go with that. I wouldn't mind having both ET and Aitken in my final 17 either.

Im hoping lolohea comes good. Its a risk though he could end up at 7 next week or back on the wing who knows what the warriors team will look like next week

Isn't it that eels would have to win pretty much every game from now to make the finals? Would say a few players are disillusioned with the season so if there is a chance to get out...
