It ain't over yet mate. Fifita could downgrade, Teddy to upgrade and we've seen JTurbo go big. I know minutes are a concern, but it certainly ain't over.

Fuck Gallen and Fifita (C) too. 927 with only Surgess to go. Would have cracked the 1000 if Fifta and Gallen pulled their weight.Stats guys don't seem to like Teddy for some reason, but he should easily update to over 40.

Question, will Fifita lose those points for that big break in his first short stint which ended in him dropping the ball, or does he keep everything than just gets the error?

Good going.
And I'm looking at cracking 900 for the second time this year. Sad really.

I just assumed you captained Smith which I did. Hadn't taken that into account but I still think you'll win mate.

No Aitken BJ And Guth will do just fine

Depends who your trading out though

Would bring in someone for Claw, Aitken isn't going anywhere !

I knew after 5 minutes of the Sharks Knights game that I'm an idiot for breaking the number one fantasy rule about captaining Smith.  Won't make that mistake again.  In fairness Fifita has been on fire and have captained him I think the last two games he played which paid off.

Good shit Archer. Cracked 1,000 with only 16 players & 1 to play is an outstanding effort mate.

My inital plan was to trade Mitchell to Teddy next week, but I'm seriously thinking about brining in Rapana instead. Seems to have more opportunity to get points.

I think just go Tedesco. Before his 81 yesterday Rapana has been very ordinary points wise for a while & the Raiders seem to be going to Croker's edge more lately. He's also a winger who can be up & down although he seems to pop up all over the field.

I was wondering the same about Fifita, but when I watched it again, he loses the ball due to a strip. I'm not sure if a strip goes down as an error. Either way I doubt he loses the tackle busts.

Thanks All. Had this as my team for the week:
Smith(67) , Friend (65)
JDB (61), Graham (52), Surgess (?)
Merrin (80), Whitehead (41), Harris (59), Barnett (44), Manners (52)
Cleary (47), SJ (63)
BJ (68), Croker (81)
Munster (60), Guth (46), Aitken (46)

So its a case of everyone scoring well across the board with a couple of extra biggies.
Unfortunately to get that score I've had to take a risk and loophole. Had Merrin as my VC and Manners as my C so Manners score whilst counted atm is as an AE. I've got EdMurphy and Talakai as the last two in my squad for teams yet to play so hopefully I'm clear. Would hate to lose that 52 from Manners.

Currently gone up 387 spots this week to 591 with 4 Trades, 115k and Norman to play with in the next few weeks so hopefully Its not a one week thing and I can finish strongly.

That's what has me so interested. I will have to look at his last few scores, but since BJ has been down you're probably right. Teddy the safer option.

Hope so. I missed that it was a strip too for some reason. I think I was too busy punching a wall.

Why didn't i play Hurrell instead of Tolman. I don't like hindsight haha

For a high scoring round, my team's score is a terrible
691 with 3 to go
Hopefully updates will be favourable
H2H I'm doing ok
But I don't think I'll be eliminating the Bundah Boys

Or playing Claw over Hurrell

Haha that's pretty bad.

Although my trades were a success this week. Fifita and Teddy in for JWH and Mitchell.

I downgraded Claw to Hurrell this week, although I didn't play Hurrell. Didn't even give it a thought to be honest.

Super average weekend of fantasy it would appear. I haven't been able to follow much as I've been up at the snow all weekend, just returned home.

@Bren, I am 100% holding you accountable for Teddy.
