any good? I could go for a decent Vinny Jones comedy gangster.

Yep good movie. These wanna be crooks steal money from Vinnie's character. They end up in Lithuania & he chases them down.

If anyone has any recommendations feel free to pm me.  Fantasy wise, while i lot can change in a day, I think I'm looking at the last week of siro, with other duds maybe given one more week before they follow him

Depending on what you consider Eastern Europe I spent time in Prague, Cesky Krumlov, Krakow, Bratislava, Budapest, Split, Zadar, Lake Bled, Ljubljana and a few other places. Hit me up if you want advice on any of them or pretty much anywhere in Europe. Plenty of recommendations for both things to do and places to stay

Hayne to Slater next week?

Looks like a gun 2nd hooker is the way to go & guys like McInnes & Macca who are scoring 65+ are outscoring the likes of Fifita/Surgess/Gallen. If Fifita scores sub 50 today I'll be very tempted to downgrade him & upgrade Brailey to Macca/McInnes.
My logic pre round 1 was to start with Brailey then I could start with Fifita who would match/better the scores of McInnes, Macca, Farah. This hasn't been the case & the hookers are outscoring Fifita by 15-20 points each week.

The jammy Yates owners who had to play him even got a 2 point upgrade. Well done boys.

Damn so Lamb didn't get any of those tackle break points when he ran it off his goal-line because he made an error or something afterwards. What a load of crap, would have been looking at a near 50's score for him

Sironen wtf? Having a shocker this week, 462 with Gallen, JDB, citric, Suli, braily and Moses to go. I'll take 700 if I can get it. Not a lot of pods in my team so don't know how much I'll recover in rankings, was in the top 1600 going in, barely in top 10000 now

Holy crap, just found out about the ET thing. AE will be Moga... KBrom in NPRs too...

So I'll be 560 + Brailee, Cotric and Suli. Super shocker.

Man, what's got into the water this week???

Hmmm I want to trade rage siro, but I still think he has 30s in him and some money. but siro + 220k can get me one of merrin, surgess, bodene


and the obligatory team score update 613 with Suli, Cortic, Brailey and Gallen to go..........what could of been if I didn't have to run Mogaand Kelly in 17 on top of siro

Yates lookin to be a solid scorer. Will be putting him ahead of Siro next week

579 with Brailey, Fifita, JDB, Cotric & Suli to go. Possible that I might go close to 800 if both Fifita & JDB score 60+ & the other 3 each score 30 odd. As per usual this won't happen & I'll score sub 750.

played 52min this week, you'd have to say the injuris is the main reason for this, been in 40s previously. I will most likely do the same if siro is still in my 17, although I may end up going Manners for him....although he didn't make as much as I want and will leave me strapped for cash.

We must have very similar teams. I have 5 points more than you and have the exact same players left to play, except I have Fifita for your Gallen.

Score update from filth

526 + McInnes, Fifita, Cotric, Tedesco, Suli

783 on averages but realistically I expect around 740.

Anyone else think Tommy Turbo was stiffed a try save? I might just have my blinkers on as I really needed those 5 points.

yeah i dont have turbo but thought he got one. i have kelly and thought he was a shoe in as well. yet another reason i dont like the try save as a scoring play.

I don't own Hess but a score of 49 when he spent most of the game being used as a decoy in attack is still a very good score. When you watch him play he nearly always breaks the first tackle but I actually thought Manly did a good job containing him. He was so close to scoring that try when he was held up over the line.

Shame if you missed it but good on you for having him. He looked brilliant and will have more scores of 50 than 30 this year

Yeah I think someone was tongue in cheek calling Hess a dud. He was playing out pretty wide but always looks dangerous. Good fantasy style of forward who is quick enough to play wider if needed. Don't know if anyone else spotted one of his kick chases. For a big guy he can really motor

This round can suck a turd. ET and Norman on the pine, not to mention Idris RTS Hayne. Moga Abbey and Siro stinking up the joint and Dbag Walker who I traded out gets 44 against the Cowboys. 7 fucking goals you prick when you couldn't land one last week. And Yates and Jacks in my NPR's. FML. At least Hess is making money.

481 with Fifita, Brailey, JDB, Cotric and Suli to go. Next to no chance of even breaking 700
