31 points in updates coming my way is super nice, just a tick under 500 with Tualau left, will be interesting to see how far up the rankings i go from 329th with those points, just trying to hold on this round with 10 players, only have Smith & Munster missing from my full-strength team next week, so if i can stay under 500th after tomorrows game, finishing this year top 250 could be plenty achievable, with a pipe dream of hitting double figures in the mix if my team really kicks on.

So gross. C on Brown all week changed to Kapow yesterday. Sold Semi 2 weeks ago. Baulked on Suli>Turbo last week and went Whare for cash. 38th but 50/50 decisions the last 5 weeks easily worth 300-400pts

I don't see you going up any ranks with 525. You'll drop a bit imo.

We all make poor decisions at some point throughout the season. Injuries or HIA early in the game are the real killer. Past few weeks alone there has been a handful such as Friend, Vaughan, Mcguire etc

626 with Yates and smat to go. Why was Scott dropped?

This was on the Melbourne Storm's website for their late mail. Don't know what the illness was.............

Craig Bellamy has confirmed his lineup for tonight’s clash with the Eels at AAMI Park.
Curtis Scott has been withdrawn from the squad due to illness meaning Young Tonumaipea moves into the starting side. Tui Kamikamica is the other player to drop out of the team.

Most of my issues haven't been injury related. A lot of them playing risk-averse options

i'm talking live rankings with that 329th - started the round 279th - the hope is that the updates tonight will push me up into the 300-310 range, before tomorrow's game takes me out to somewhere in the 400's and hopefully no further.

Bulldogs & Knights aren't very popular teams, Tolman & SMat (and at a stretch Lamb) are really the only players in the game that would have a decent ownership, so that should help keep the drop under control.

Tolman,,SMat, Elliot, Yates, Tualau will still be in quite a few teams, as well as those who've held Frawley or Lamb.

594 after updates with only SMat to go. Will drop a bit in rankings but not the horror it could have been with only 12 players after Scott withdrawl and Munster SOO. Hoping for a big one next week with fairly gun 17.

10. Scott, Lew Brown out and Munster on Origin duties hurt my already low numbers

I've got Tualua myself so i wasn't counting him, i forgot about Elliot & Yates probably because i did have both and have long since traded them, thought a fair few might have done the same with Elliots poor scoring of late and Yates getting injured, but i guess there'd be a few teams with those two passing me by tomorrow.

BB was this you?

Tolman, Buhrer and SMat are the only ones worth having.

Up 26 in updates, nice. Now on 666 with Elliot to go so hopefully 700 which I will be happy with. Live rank is currently 93 up from 186 but that won't last since I only have 1 player tomorrow.

Cotric to Turbo 15 mins before kick-off worked out pretty well I'd say.

Cracked the top 1000 for the first time last night and 531 with SMat, Elliot and Yates today, I'm hoping I stay there.

Smith Hodgson
Taupau Brown Vaughan Hoare
JDB Gallen LOLO Fui Chichton Stimson
SJ Munster Feeney Field
Turbo Aubbs Scott LeBrown
RTS Slater Hayne MWZ 138k

5 trades left with 337k

Round 19 - Scott>Croker
Round 20 - Fui>Fifita

Help needed lads. Have a v important h2h match in that it'll mean the diff between top 4 and not. Top 4 is what it's all about.

44 behind with Smat to go. Which is a loss unless I do something.

So, do I go

MWZ for CMat getting me 54k in the bank and still giving me a sweat for those Mata'untrustworthtias to somehow pull in 45 between them
or
JWallace out for Buhrer

I was happy that Jwal was a keeper so don't want to do this but will if it means a win. Have considered Tolman but he's basically a pain in the ass and not a keeper. Is Buhrer tho? Not liking that he's not starting. Any better options with the limited availability at this stage?

10 trades left with 4 needed for upgrades.

10 trades mate so do something. The MWZ trade I think would be a fine fallbavk option, but Wallace to Buhrer gets you the win. I yhink Buhrer will end up starting in the near future though.
