Crichton is playing with a small break in his foot, hence the moon boot, but is expected to play out the season, Nathan Ryan has reported.

No more captaincy for him.

You wouldn't have noticed on the weekend.

Gulp, i can see him getting reduced minutes in the future. If i had the luxury of having more trades, he's a no brainer trade out.

It happened two weeks ago so maybe it happened in round 17 because he was brought off after 71 minutes.

I mean he did play 80 on the weekend so it might not be a big issue but I'm no expert.

I think a couple of guys on here have.

I would love to do a scattergraph of how many trades left vs rank if people want to let me know.

1. Trades before making any trades this round.
2. Current rank.

1. 3 (this is quite a good effort based on my trade rage past)
2. 141

No trades for me this round. It's going to be a long week haha.

The theory is it'll be a bit of a bell curve, but where the bell curve lies will be the interesting part.

Highest rankings, few trades left
mid rankings, good amount of trades let
lower rankings and used up most of their trades trying to catch up.

I could be well off though, we'll see.

Would've been interesting to do one before the bye period and then straight afterwards to see how the graph moved.

The prize would've been a NRL live pass which most people get at the start of the season through the league creations I guess.

It's all about maximising the amount of clicks on the site/app these days and everything else is irrelevant.

yeah I know things have changed like its $15000 for the win now

but I'm pretty sure they used to have $500 prizes for weekly winners

Yeah something like that plus a car for the winner.

Hopefully Burns doesn't play this week so I can get Fui as an AE. It means I won't be able to loophole though. Have only loopholed twice this year with Crichtonnes 121 and Friends 73 last week. Good times.

Is Laybutt likely to get a run this week?

Unless Morgan gets injured during origin you think he will back up since the Cowboys play on Sunday.
