Had at crap round. Few very low scorers. ET's 6 didn't help. Ended up on 961 and lost 17 positions to 197.

That's me mate.  yeah, I'm only in the ex-sportal league with the 400 odd players for some reason.

My 17 is;

Smith Friend
Fifita Gallen Surgess
Merrin Mannering DeBelin Carty
SJ Hunt Cleary
Aitken BJ
Teddy Munster Barba

Will probably run with that this week.  I have Hurrell and Guth on the bench too.  Have trades but don't see any reason not to play any of that 17.  BJ is a slight concern though after last week.

Is there a code for the other league? Maybe I just missed it early on.

If Austin is out, then Whitehead might actually see a bit of ball instead of being used as a dummy all the time.
I seem to remember him scoring quite well early in the season when Austin was injured.
In saying that I haven't heard any news on the injury.

Austin had positive news so he's a chance but its a wait and see how he goes throughout the week.
Personally I'd rest him, more important to our finals ambitions than rushing him back for this one game.

 Wow. You smashed me. Our teams are pretty similar. I don't have Fifita, Cartwright or de Belin, I've got ET   , James and Graham.

Sorry the boys let you down in the last game. You were nipping at my heels all week!

Yeah plodders.

Was going to trade out Latrell for a numpty, but still wouldn't have helped.

Good work!

Lucky for you Pearce didn't play...

990 overnight. bad luck with pearce, you may have pipped me.

I think thats another injury free weekend for most, bringing it to 4 in a row. we will see when team lists come out but thats gotta be a record this year

On a more uplifting note:

NSFW:

Fantasy gods must hate me, I've never scored a tonne but came close this week but ET's score kept me below. Also, apart from the bye rounds, have not finished a weekly any higher then in 1299th position.

That's the exact same matchup I had against Tuffest Troops.

Anything can happen mate.

Hopefully Semi will be back this week, even though Parra is playing the Broncos... not expecting a lot of tries in that game

Might put the C on JDB again this week, he should be playing 80 again

No trades for me this week

Tough game this weekend in L7 against the BridgeBurners

This weeks Carter Award was a 3 way tie, in the missed tackle-a-thon Cows vs Tigers game between Jack Littlejohn, Jake Granville and Jonathon Thurston, indicating just what big names are dying to get this prestigious award. This week however the Award goes to Jake Granville in a tie-breaker due to playing less minutes.

That is Wolfking mate. He knocked me out in round 1, has scored 3 consecutive 1k scores & you'll have to be at the top of your game to beat him.

I predicted he would win the eliminator so sorry Sik.

At least we can say we were knocked out by the winner. So in theory we actually came runners up.

If you had 2 trades left would you use one of them to go Gutherson to Hayne?

Only if he's named to start at fullback

I can see both good & bad with this trade. Gutherson has been pretty consistent lately & isn't this a local derby which might be good for Guttherson. However Robson seems to be dominating the play lately & Gutherson needs an attacking play to score well.
The Hayne side of the trade will depend on if he's in the 13. I still think he's a 80 minute game away from match fitness & knowing the team moves. On the other hand it is Hayne who can do spectacular things.

My verdict = wait a week.

#Yolo

970 for the week with Leilua and again Milford dragging me down. I actually went up 20 spots this week though to 1675. If everyone had hit their averages too like Graham, Merrin and Gallen (Who I captained this week) I could have cracked that elusive 1000
3 years and still looking for that first 1000 #don'tstopbelieving
