    Got a bit of work to do on my team though..especially the backs

    Is this the legit arsendragon of Olde? The legend returns.

    Lost 3000 places this week with a 667. At least Moses was about zero

    Good 10 point upgrade to 788 points. Overall rank 508. My rank last week was 2,228 so stoked with the increase of 1,720 places.

    My expectations were a little different and for once they were actually right about bang on. I expected he'd lose a lot of kick metres to Normz but he'd make up for it with his running game and some more time training purely as a 5/8. With the 40's average playing 5/8 to finish 2016 I thought he was undervalued and the goal-kicking was just a bonus.  

    I thought it was actually pretty low-risk to be honest. Get a HLF's scores in the inconsistent WFB position. His start to the year has just been an unexpected surprise.

    What, a half like Moses?

    Here's my team...

    Got a few Pods that haven't turned out much good in Guerra and Austin.

    Rd2 Whare > Talakai (yes I made the trade too early and couldn't reverse it ...grrr)
    Rd3 Idris > RJennings
    Rd3 Hayne > Ponga

    Fuck, just barley hanging onto the top 10000, fuck me, what a disastrous start to the year. Anyone notice anything I need to do this week, feel like my team is just absolute crap.

    Haha I'm just inside the top 15000 and sitting very close to the bottom of the fanatics league. 

    How has it gone so bloody wrong?

    Could you put Gutherson in a similar price bracket?

    Before lockout yes, after not so much......this was my planned trade last week, decided to save trades instead. That would have been ok but then I blew 2 trades anyway in a moment of madness 5 minutes before lockout on Thursday. Never parent and fantasy, it's bad for your ranking.

    That is a good side. There's nothing wrong with your backs & you were just unlucky that Norman screwed you. I would just focus on your forward pack & try to get another gun in there. I thought Vaughan looked really good last night or if you want to go to a higher priced gun then maybe Mannering.

    Good stuff mate. You leapfrogged me. I was just shy of 700th and with a score of 740 I'm slightly up to 683rd.

    Leader 185 points ahead, but only 77 points from 50th.

    I really do think there will be a lot of casual teams that will start making silly trades and are there for the taking. Hang in there guys even if you are 300-350 points away from the leader. Just plan for byes and get 17 good scorers for round 12.

    Graham, Surgess, Whitehead, Mannering, Thompson, Croker, BJ, SJ, Gallen.

    Was keeping the money for upgrades and might go Siro to whoever this week. Could go Whitehead and still have enough to do another decent upgrade.

    Thanks for the reassurance. Really just wanted someone else to say that there is nothing wrong with my side haha.

    Good side. Maybe a centre (idris?) to aubo. Other than that you can sit tight possibly until segy comes along.

    Gutho owner. Very impressed with his tackle count and support running. I'm currently holding Norman too which makes me nervous but they haven't let me down yet.

    Hey Arsen, long time no see buddy

    That 'accident' may pay off to you this week if you get lucky. Nice looking team and look to be in the same boat as me (regarding the backs) haha

    I tell you what, I might just keep the avatar, it's growing on me, Friz had a great game last night, I can see where the love for him comes from now. Maybe someone may want to make a bet and if they win they get to change my avatar from the Friz.

    welcome back arsen. I've turned from a night owl into an early morning man since you were around Sportal. Actually, think that was the case when I was in legends (briefly).

    730 this round for me and I think I won all my league games except for my own league.

    Classic filthridden.

    Look after your friends and families, all.

    ET to Hess last week? Razz Um Moses upgrade wouldn't go amiss. The rest is pretty solid and making money except Siro.
