I took a screenshot of fanatics and overall for you just in case but your team is solid so you'll be there for a while with a little luck

Cheers man, I think i've got a pic, now how to post it? If only there was a guy who learned how to do it recently?

Haha, the persistence of time mate.

It is some pretty fucking illustrious company down there though when you look through the names!

Ok, as I said I'm drunk, and still trying to figure out what this mean?

The bottom leagues are going to have some ridiculous competition next year. I can't ever remember WL or Clacks being in the bottom half of the overall group

The last 10 minutes of the game were more exciting than the first 70.

Case in point, I'm coming 2nd in L1 yet only 53rd in Fanatics. I actually don't think I've checked the leagues since round 1 or 2 so this is both surprising and sad lol lot's of quality throughout all the leagues this year I feel

Yeah, I have to say, having four players in a bye game, possibly going to GP. possibly getting there with a Bunt FG, was exciting, but I would have prefered it tonight!

Edited cause drunk

304 pre updates with Graham (c), tolman, liicha, holland, whitehead, gutherson and feeny(lol) to come

Into the top 2000 after the last game. woop woop

go to bed, you have 10 minutes to do this.

Aitken 62
Friz 57
Granville 54
Jarome 52

220 from 4 looking okay, didn't think milf would be the lowest scorer so far, doggies v raiders will be huge for me

Dragons v Cowboys changes:

Think I'm going to take the safe option and loophole ET.
Currently at 271 without doing it and the following to play:
Graham, Mataora, Mau, Whitehead, Norman, Feeney, Croker, Leilua, Guth.
Could be a decent score I'm hoping, which is why I think it makes sense to take ET's points and not be greedy gambling on Graham going bigger? My only concern is that Dog's vs Raiders should be a cracker in the forwards with the dogs forwards looking to prove a point after we got on top last game. Still, I think at most he scores 80 and possibly more likely scores 55-60 so I might as well play it safe.... right?

I'd take et's score, Graham averages 55-60 with a chance of 70 + with a try however et already ensures 69.
My dilemma is I've viced bunt with 57, with whitehead my captain. Should I gamble or take bunt 57 doubled and be happy with that. Whitehead would need a try to have chance of 60+, he's well capable of one.

Pretty stoked with the weekend so far... up nearly 1000 spots to 382nd overall. Got 385/7 so far.

Got (C) Graham, Tolman, Gutherson, Holland, Feeney, Whitehead and Mau to play. Might loophole Hunt for safety. Not sure what to do.

Awesome I finally got on the nrl fantasy site. I was a bit worried but crisis averted.
Anyway 287/6 with 11 to play.

11 to play... Thats awesome

Been meaning to ask, any significance behind the 'White Lightning' name?

Thanks mate. I actually picked up the this nickname during my league days. My hair is pure white (natural) & so my mates starting calling me white lightning & it kind of stuck.

Nice! So not like James Magnussen giving himself the nickname of 'White Caviar'! What a fucking tosspot...
