573 pending updates to a slew of Storm/Panthers players. James, JDB, Manners and RTS to come.

Looks like I did alright on my roulette of backs this week:

Sione/Cotric
Slater/Uate/RTS

with Kelly, Talakai, Suli and Abbey NPR.

Had a trade up my sleeve with Leota to Corey in mind, but wasn't too keen on having all 3 DPP's locked in FR. Good to see Leota back having a crack anyway and I'm probably ahead of most with 29 trades still in the bank.

Comp goes for 26 rounds, not 3 and you can't waste all your trades chasing short term results.

6999 with Wallace, JDB, Mannering, Idris, RTS to come, not sure whether that will move me up or down

Fuck off!

No idea what an Everton is, but I come back to new posts expecting people to be like "Oh yeah Merrin's due a fuckload of updates" and instead I gotta read about fairies prancing about or something?

IIRC, Milchy posted them when Littlejohn was named to take Brooks place and they look more Friar Tuck than Robin Hood.

I'm truly sorry, but there's only so many chances that arise to get those references in
