I'm going to assume this is serious. Note the information in this post should not be taken as tax advice and is purely hypothetical

There are 2 possible ways you could go about this.

Option 1: If the Panthers were registered as a deductible gift recipient you may be able to claim this as a tax write off under gifts and donations on your tax return

Option 2: If you created a sole trade business that had a business activity of "random acts of donut" aka delivering donuts randomly for free you may be able to deduct costs of doing business. Of course since this business would probably run at a loss the loss could be offset against personal income tax

TL;DR maybe

The world really does need more random acts of donut..

So Bangladesh beat both NZ & Australia for 2nd spot in the ICC Champions Trophy. If anything depressed me this weekend it was NZ's pathetic display against Bangladesh.

What a shit night after a good start to the weekend

Mannering getting extended bench time, FU Kearney
Taumalolo also getting extended bench time, FU Green
Radradra. enough said

Worst of all was my reasoning for playing Radradra over Dylan Edwards who I just brought this week. I sat him in my NPR's this week and played Semi because (this is a classic reason) my track record when bringing in players and selecting them to play always ends with a poor score, so I thought I would kill Edwards score this week so I benched.

Playing the fantasy ICC Champions trophy they have bonus points for motm. They should do that for nrl fantasy but it should be just a fixed amount of points meaning if your captain gets motm the bonus points aren't doubled. I think 5 points would be good.

After having Dylan Edwards from the start (I know it was propbably stupid,) I'm very happy to finally be getting value out of him. He's impressed me in every game he plays and I feel he is strong enough to be in my final squad. Should I trade him out before round 20 or keep him until the end?

Alvaro humming along nicely despite brown coming back sooner than expected.

Would also like to say, fuck you Merrin. I'm now doubting if i have a place in my final team for you.

I've got a tight H2H matchup with a mate and he is up by 70 pts. He has Suli to play and I have Friend and Vaughan. Tight, but do you think my guys can do it?

Yes! The same thing happens in EPL Fantsy (The English Soccer League.) They give 3 Bonus Points for MOTM, 2 for the 2nd best and 1 for the 3rd. It doesn't seem like much but an average score in that fantasy is around 4 or 5 so it can make a HUGE difference in most cases.

With how he is scoring, he becomes more of a wait and see. I would hold him until he gets ousted. If he plays Round 20-26 in the FB role he is scoring well enough that he could be a keeper over other options so i would hold until he is dropped. So just keep in mind you may need a trade for him further down the line.

So is Trent Merrin the real deal or was he just having a purple patch of fantasy scores. Wasnt his score last week saved by one big run?

Also Hess playing in the middle i hope that doesnt mean reduced minutes for Taumalolo

Thats tight as(s), I'd say u will squeak it out.

The last 2 weeks suggest holding on merrin could have been a gud decision.
Edwards in at bottom price would have been a great move, and if u picked it to start the season = godly.
Did james play a different role yesterday ? First week in and goes sub 40.

Ok 685 with Mcinnes Vaughan Frawley Nofo to go. Down to 196. Brought mansour and james in over being able to do just Rapanan in. Hope it sorts out in the coming weeks.

Had Edwards from day 1, but that means nothing when you put it in context, because I picked my team less then 24 hours before the first lockout

Just read that Merrin and SFG have called off their engagement. Shit.

So you're saying I still have a shot?

You're right, Trent is one sexy piece of ass.

I wanted edwards last week but Smith out forced me into trading smith to mcinnes instead. Got him this week and last minute threw the R on him.

The point of this post is that id like to thank whoever it was here about three weeks ago (when edwards was rumoured to get the fullback spot) who said something along the lines of "edwards is built for fantasy, bring him in". That post alone got me interested as tbh i had no idea what edwards was like and initially expected another Abbey tbh..

Exactly my justification when I brought Edwards in a couple weeks ago. Also I have a total team and cash value of about 9.1mil so I've missed too many cash cows.

Everyone getting Edwards now huh?

Told you blokes 2 months to get on him!!
