Surgess you boy alright mate saving your score. Didn't even consider him to be honest, well done.

Yeah Brailey being the one that hurts the most. Every other week I've actually not run him in my 17 (outside of rounds where i had less than 17 obv) yet this round i chose to play him over Cotric, Edwards, Hayne, Fui. Holmes was a little disappointing as well, might be time to move him once he's played out Rd 15 for me (assuming no selection). Only a few trades left though.

plan was to have a FRF of Fifita, Graham & 18th man Gurgess on the road home, but with Gurgess not up to it and Graham struggling with injury, i'm not seeing a cheap alternative, have half a mind to downgrade Yates to a nuffie instead and just run with Taupau & Fifita and pray they both keep their noses out of trouble.

495/8c

Ive moved up to 37th. But have had 11 play already.

Updates gifted me 19 points. Still not happy with some players I chose to take the field but hey I'll take all the points I can get.

So I guess Walker isn't getting those 2 blatant try saves (Including where he smacked the ball out of Moga's hand, ie saving the try) or the early tackle breaks.....................

If i reverse my trade made this round it would enable me to dump frawley to a nuffie and get an AE of whoever scores less from Peachey and SST. Is this ridiculous ?

he got 1, I assume for the Moga no-try, only one other was given and it was to Gray.

My bad luck with trading might be turning around. Trading in elite guns like Teddy, SJ and Graham for season lows, while trade outs Uate, Kaufusi and overlooked trade-ins Munster and DCE went gangbusters was a brutal 3-4 weeks.

The Lamb to Munster trade didn't yield much of a boost, but being funded by Sione to Leilua might turn into a genius move.. keyword might.

Started to slightly regret trading Kodi to SJ with the BHunt news, but that's quickly been erased. Could have done Brailey to McInn though, so jury's still out I guess.

302/5 with Captain Cam so far.

Titans v. Warriors and Panthers v. Raiders first up today covers most of my 17..

James, Manners, SJ, RTS, Merrin, Cleary, Whitehead, Cotric and Leilua.. and not even a cow for game 3.

C'mon brief rankings jump

500 from 8 including (c) best start I've had all year.

Almost exactly the same here Shan

I think we will some big fanatics scores this week and the non cam owners take over the scoring in his off weeks

Let's take a moment to appreciate Angus Crichton though. I don't remember a player this impressive in fantasy terms since Anthony Laffranchi went from budget to gun!

Busts out a 69 when his price is up to 528k with a BE of 45

Incredible

Grand Angus is a weapon. Especially as he was on like 1 after 12 minutes.

360/6 with Capt Fifita and Niko. I just can't seem to have a week where everyone fires at once, bloody well Id score 10000 points this week if everyone sorted their shit out. Still, hoping for a 900 with this lot left of guns left to go

Friend
Vaughan
JDB, Whitehead
SJ
Hayne, Leilua (these 2 more like a pea shooter this year)
Tedesco, RTS, Semi, Edwards

Walker and SMat disappointing in an otherwise good start. 523 from 9 with Friend, Graham, Taumalolo, Mannering, Merrin, Cotric, RTS and Semi to play

Getting sick of Calker's scores. Have to keep him now though due to lack of trades and the fact he plays 15/18. Pretty average start to the round with Sione moving to centre and also producing a mud score but that's to be expected from him every second week really. Going to pay if I don't get Surgess back, so i think I'll need to next week.

Smacking the ball out if someone's hands might "save a try" but it has never been included in the definition of a try save. Which at the very minimum includes actually making a tackle, normally in the goal area

I'm glad I wasn't the only one that played Niko.

Not really. Gets you a cashout and decent points anyway.
