Apparently they did.  Lafai and a couple of other players did change apparently, just not the ones most look at which is why we didn't notice maybe.  They must have absolutely nailed the live scoring for once (or they didn't really review the game).

Oh ok, cheers Si.

I think I'm already sunk in that H2H. I'm in a predicament that my real team enlisted in all my leagues is terrible and ranked outside 2500 whilst my alt team which I put in no leagues at all is ranked 82. Put the wrong team in the illustrious L1 for sure! :/

It sucks, doesn't it. I only just brought Norman and Brown in over the last few weeks. All my trade plans are blown now.
I have Brown stuck in my FRF and there really isn't anyone else worth replacing him with. I might have to just forget about the stupid byes completely.

Well for me it might mean Brown to Graham instead of Fifita to Graham. If Brown's out for a bit it's hard to see any value keeping him. Eels with the first bye in rd 16 are the best bye guys to have at this stage, and the worst to get injured now. sucks big time.

The GFs team has taumololo, fifita, and jakey trbo. Nearly 300 from 3 players

Yep that's exactly what I'll probably be doing. If Brown is out for 2 games, he'll miss the same amount in total as Fifita anyway, and I know who I'd rather have in my team at the end. Puts a big dent in my potential points though, but as I guess options are so limited everyone is in the same boat.

But it really does stink that Brown will lose about $35k this week.

More updates. Not that many changes in this game:

French 23
Semi 54
Gutherson 23

Croker 44
Leilua 39
Rapana 43
Austin 36
Paulo 54
Hodgson 45
Papalii 62
Whitehead 40

Eels raiders

Mau 63
Radradra 54
Moses 30
Pritchard 48
Brown 6
Gutherson 23

Wrighton 54
Cotric 56
Leilua 39
Rapana 43
Austin 36
Hodgson 45
Papalii 62
Whitehead 40

Some scores have changed and some haven't so don't know if it is final updates

Going at almost 50 average per player with C. Smith (c), J. Graham, Crichton, A. Elliott, C. Harawira Naera, S. Stone, A, reynolds and C. Walker to play :-)
Might make up some much needed ground lost in the last few weeks.

After updates I'm on 494/10, which I guess is not too bad. Brown destroyed everything, but him and RTS are my only 2 players scoring less than 47. Hopefully no more injuries or spectacular failures tomorrow.

Nice! Have you had your captain play yet? :-)

Thanks. No captain yet, (C)am to come tomorrow. It was looking like being such a good week. And then Brown happened.

Still a great score tho. I think I am 431/9

379/8 with (C)am to come. Seems similar scoring rate to you guys, except that money in the bank is usually better...

586 with Captain Cam, Surgess, Crichton, CHN, and SMat to go. 

Hoping for a minimum of 850 this round.

Wow, I've dropped a fair bit in the rankings this week.

I knew I should've gone with my gut and kept Kaufusi for another week but traded him for Brown instead even though I had some reservations about him. It's really set me back now and I'm really annoyed with myself not only because I've wasted a trade but I now have lots of ground to make up.

I cant afford to waste trades on players just because they have good byes, they'll be based more around building up my final 17 ASAP.

By the looks of it Brown's injury may be serious so he'll become Mannering next week and Norman to SJ to give me 2 more season keepers who also play rd 12.

My punt on Moses wasn't a super success, though it's better than the alternative of playing Elgey. On the plus side, Semi finally pulled his finger out, and I dodged a bullet not trading in brown.

354 from 8 which seems a bit below par. Still got (C)am, Friend, Kaufusi, Surgess, Crichton, Stone, Munster, SMat and Slater

Was thinking of going Norman to Moses next week but that audition was neither good or bad lol

Also if Brown is out for a good amount of time, who takes his role as best eels player to have during byes?

Geez Hayne is bad. He really is a shell of his old self, can't even break a single tackle. The defence just wraps him up like a day old falafel everytime.

Definitely not a centre that's for sure.
