It doesn't. I'm just grumpy because I picked ET over Croker, got rolled in the eliminator, had yet another sub 900 round and still haven't caught a fucking Pikachu. I've seen the cartoon and they're meant to like people but I can tell you the ones in Sydney are unsociable little kents.

Should have caught him when you were first offered the starting pokemon if you were interested. The whole walk away from the 3 offered easter egg thing. Rookie

I didn't do it either and it still hurts

I think we can put it to bed as the other team is a poster who hasn't signed into the forum since March 25th.  It just looks like equal slices of shit luck and coincidence.

I might have used a little bit of the Force... just a little bit

I lost my eliminator by 29 points, with 7 players scoring under 40 !!

Rein 33
James 39
Gallen 35
Frizell 36
Cartwright 33
CLaw 11
Tedesco 31

Haha it's all good mate, as I said to SI, I don't want to cause any trouble, was just a bit shocked as I didn't expect my H2H season to be over already and so just needed to vent a little.

Imo you were 100% justified in highlighting this situation. I'm hoping there's some innocent explanation as to why your opponent did this but if it was deliberate there's no excuse & very underhand. This forum prides itself on honesty & integrity & this should be reflected in the leagues.

Yep, that's right WL.  Aside from the fact that it was Chewie, who we all know is an extremely noble Wookie, the other team belongs to a poster who hasn't logged on for months; so there is no collusion.

Some interesting faces in the team list this week

Tom Opacic is likely to get a full game, let's see what he can do in 80 mins
Taane Milne cemented his spot by default with Dugan out, and Lafai dropped
JDB to get big minutes? with LAM out for 3 weeks
JT out... ouch!
Claw pulled up ok according to the Tigers twitter feed
Zane Musgrove getting back from injury after a promising start to the season

Rein 33
James  39
Gallen  35
Frizell  36
Cartwright  33
CLaw  11
Tedesco 31

Only had Tedesco from that list, scored 1,002 & lost by 10 points to the mighty Wolfking who incidentally is a bloody good bloke, has a great 17 & thoroughly deserved his victory. My only regret is seeing many teams go through who I outscored haha.

Zane Musgrove played 39 minutes
36 tackles
1 tackle break
105 MG
2 missed tackles
1 PC

Who is this Fantasy God?
definitely on the watch list

Our Rookie Poster of the year is going to be a pretty tough vote this year.

I'm actually hoping Opacic gets a season ending injury this week, he's been screwing up my AE lately

Not that I've had to rely on it yet but chances are at some point I will

Been a tough day for you mate I know but hoping for an injury for fantasy purposes or any purpose is pretty bad form

you are better than that

I reckon he wasn't 100% fit last week coming back from injury, hence the 10 minute stint
Hopefully he gets some good minutes this week...

But yes the AE of 4 was a bit of a worry

Been trying to think of something to sum up my Fantasy season. This video about does it. Just when I think I'm out and in the clear I go tumbling back down

I know who's got my vote for Wookie poster of the year.

Boom Tish

Ok, I'll see myself out now.

trades this week of finucane to fajita, parcell to friend. two trades left. 
who's the best value 2rf/ctr combo (or even just value ctr ~340k) - just need someone like lawrence/yeo as 18th man to allow coverage of ctr/wfb.

fifita, friend, gallen & milford (lets hope broncs start firing)

Yeah you're right, it was mostly in jest, to be honest I was actually hoping the Bronco's would challenge Thaiday's suspension and lose, giving Opacic more than one week in the starting side, unfortunately that was probably never going to happen though.

Thanks mate, you're a top bloke too, in fact everyone in here since joining has been super, love it.

Nothing really surprising with these team lists either, but much as expected this time of year.

No love for Rapana at all? Or should I just shut the hell up and put in Teddy?

Who's got the most in their teams?
Go the opposite. POD thing.
