Bloody Taupau 4 short... he may update to 42 but can't take the risk so I've switched my reserves and I'll now need CWalker to outscore Fui by 4 points or more.

That's tough Roger, best of luck mate...............................

That's it Walker, do it again...............................

Well played there.

1076 for me this week. Would have got over 1100 if I reserved Lane over Merrin

Nice work Roger, looks like you should get through.

Looping gained me an extra 23 points, so good job I did it.
1008 pre updates

Phew! Good job guys that got 1,000+

h2h can be a strange thing.
I'm in two FF leagues here and got the secound worst score in both leagues,
And I won the h2h in both leagues.

Thankfully the byes are done and I can revert to my strongest team for the run home.

No Cleary in this comp really hurts the round score this week, 889.

Still alive in the eliminator but about to be out of trades.

1077 this week for me

1040 for me but as with DK, bout to be all out of trades care of SJ and Friend's injuries. Wont even have a trade to deal with Merrin, although I've not been online enough to figure out how long he's supposed to be out for??

Did Fui get injured last night too?

So Cam and Pearce in will leave me a core group of:
McInnes, Cam
Gallen, Taupau JBrom
Mannering, Lolo, Surgess, JTrbo, Vaughn, (Merrin)
Cleary, Pearce, CWalker
Crichton, Aubs, (Fui)
TTrbo, RTS, Edwards (Scott)

So not much wiggle room for any more injuries

Just hoping to stay top 10!!

Round unlocked. Up to 5th and closed on a few teams above me including 1st but only by ~30 points.

The difference in scoring this round looks to be predominantly down to whether or not you have Cleary.

Manly in 6th.
Milch in 11th

That seems to be all in the top 20 from here.

Only way to catch first (for our guys on this forum) is if he has used all his trades and you still have a couple to burn I reckon.

How are you guys placed for trades Milch and Manly? Im all out if I pull the trigger on Pearce and Cam.

I've got a fairly high profile opponent this week......President Donald J Trump!

POD's for our match up are (me vs. them):

Burgess vs. Mannering
Macca vs. JTurbo
McInnes vs. Gillett
TTurbo vs. Teddy
CWalker vs. Croker
Lachlan Fitz vs. Moylan
DWalker vs. Esan Masters
Cotric vs. Brian Kelly
SMat vs. Nobody

Not sure if he will be able to trade an extra player to make up a full 17 but he also has Paul Vaughan and Milf if they end up getting a guernsey.
On the flip side he has 3 SOO players backing up compared to my none....so let's hope it is a brutal encounter!

I also have Lamb in the wings if need be and am looking to unleash all 3 trades - possibly one or two downgrades to NPR's and maybe bringing in Mannering??

I've deadset done a NSW and went into this eliminator match up with far too much complacency....

Add to that, every mode he made paid off and every move I made, went to shit.

So Gillet and Moylan went out for old mate but he gained both Vaughan and Milf (who then went on to rack up 50+ scores).

Despite my post above and because I was rushed on Friday arvo, I shat myself and didn't want to make the 3 trades required with 5 mins spare to bring in Mannering......he then went on to jag an 80+....and happened to be the Trumpster's VC!

Add to that Trumpster brought in Lane (who scored a try on hist way to 60+), Masters jagged a try, Alex Twal did well and I am out of the eliminator in bitter fashion!

Bloody fantasy football.

I still have trades remaining after making 2 this week.

Unfortunately not quite enough cash for
SJ - Pearce and Merrin - Fifita

Can make
SJ - Pearce and Wallace/Taupau - Fifita

Or bring in DCE instead of Pearce.

Also need to wait on news of Manu Ma'u to see if he'll actually be playing this week.

Assuming Ma'u is fit, and Merrin's injury not too serious my final 17 will probably be this

Smith McCullough
Gallen Burgess Fifita
Taumalolo Mannering JTrbo NBrown Taupau
Pearce Cleary
Ma'u Crichton
TTrbo Tedesco Munster

Merrin, CWalker, RTS as 18th, 19th, 20th man

Guy in first has a pretty stacked team, just depends on how many trades he has left.

We might find out next week if Brandon Smith and SJ are still in his squad.

If he has no trades, I think my final squad is better than his, but whether its good enough to catch up 300 points is another question

ive used my last 2 trades this week so im done but i have a alot of depth.

smith mcinnes
fifita gallen james bromwich
surgess taupau jdb mannering tolo brown
cleary reynolds walker hayne
crichton turbo aubs fui
teddy edwards mansour scott gordon

1095 and ranked 10th for the week, my best week so far this season. Shame I'm only 125th lol

I'd say you would need a few more injuries, and the trades and $ to deal with them and then you are in with a big shot.

How many trades will you have after this round?

Same boat as me mate, but with a better team I think. Money on you to finish higher than me I reckon. Although injuries may change that! We'll both need a ton of luck to stay top 10!

I've learnt a lot from my first season! Especially when I look back to the team I started with! Theres a few wasted trades right there haha!

Now though I can just sit back and enjoy the last few weeks and not have to worry about trades!!

I am $4,100 short of Merrin+SJ to Pearce+Fifita

So annoying.

Should I bring in
A) DCE + Fifita
B) Pearce + Vaughan
C) Hold off on one of the trades and hope they drop $5,000 in cash this week
