McInnes
Fifita
Crichton Buhrer Gallen JDB Taumalolo Lane
Cleary SJ
Sione Hayne
Walker Mansour RTS

Then need 2 of MWZ, Nu Brown and the cash out for Scott to play

Bromwich>Fifita

I could be down to 14, depending on SMat/NuBrown.

McInnes
Fifita, Musgrove
Surgess, Crichton, Manners, JDB, Lane
SJ, Cleary, NuBrown
Fui, Suli
Turbo, Dedwards

Not counting on SMat or Laybutt, but I have a feeling NuBrown will play, even if it's a bench spot.

Wanted to finish the round inside the top 100. Sitting in 100th.

Kents.

Guth to Ted (if fit). Goodbye King Guth, thanks for your bye work but you're not Tedesco even if you're going to be 5k more expensive.

McCullough
Fifita, Taupau
Mannering, Gallen, Surgess, Crichton, JDB, Fui
SJ, Lolohea
SMat, TTrbo
Tedesco, Edwards, Cody, Hayne

Hoping this is my big round after just about treading water this week.

Captain Tolman lost that TB but gained an extra 10 metres. I'll take it

Isn't Blair looking at a season ending injury? Maybe keep Scott?

My team for next week will be

Taupau, Eisenhuth
Crichton, Gallen, Taumalolo, (De Belin) (Marsters)
Cherry Evans, Johnson
Leilua, Hayne, (Fuimaoano)
Rapana, Tedesco, Edwards, (Walker), (Tuivasa Sheck)
Don't have a hooker so will get an AE from Marsters.

Unavailable; C. Smith, B. Smith, N. Brown, J. Graham, C. Munster.

That team should move you back up there mate. Surprised by the Guth move but understand the extra game with Ted. How many trades?

Smat has suffered a compound fracture to his finger and is out for 4-6 weeks.

Cheers for the update, expected this sort of outcome.

Er...three at the moment. Final 17 more or less set (want to bring in NBrown for JBrom but pointless this week). Rolling home with extra injury cover (Aubs, SMat, Hayne, Lolohea, Fui) rather than spare trades on a final 17 of

McCull, Friend
Fifi, Brown, Taupau
Mannering, Gallen, Surgess, JDB, Crichton
SJ, Munster
TTrbo, Scott/Aubs
Tedesco, Edwards, CWalker/Hayne

EDIT SMat news changes things. Will have to reevaluate, because obviously he's a sell.

Still worth bringing in Kapow?  I wanted Mannering but with a front row of Fifita Brown Kaufusi and Yates and no DPP in the second row, I obviously have to get a front row this week, which is annoying.  Should be a decent price.

The in-house NRL Fantasy Fanatics Eliminator will begin in Round 20.

I will get a thread up this week with the guidelines.

As stipulated in the pre-season Leagues threads, only those Fanatics in the 8 NRL Fantasy Fanatics (L1 through L8) seeded Leagues are eligible.  This incorporates the vast majority of our active members.  Apologies to our new posters who won't be able to participate, and those few seasoned posters who didn't make the seeded Leagues.  We do this for various reasons to ensure the Eliminator runs smoothly.

For those who missed out, you will be able to participate next year in our Leagues and Eliminator

EDIT: Bren set the Eliminator League up with the Fanatics Overall Group, which is why everyone had 3 codes instead of the normal 2.  What this means is there will be no registration requirements this year.  If you are in L1 through L8 you are automatically entered.  There is nothing to be done to enter, you allready are entered if in a Fanatics seeded League

McInnes
Fifita Taupau McGuire
Gallen Surgess Crichton Tlolo Merrin
SJ Cleary F.Brown
Hayne Fui
RTS Walker Edwards

Should have 17 if all my players back up from Origin. SMat's injury is leaving me a bit exposed but it hardly seems worth spending one of my last 5 trades replacing a centre.

My team looking like;

McInnes Brailey
Fifita Yates Kaufusi Brown
Surgess Tolo JDB Crichton Fui Elliot
SJ Cleary Munster Laybutt
Croker Cotric Kelly SMat
Walker Edwards Lolohea Slater Semi

Not sure what the go is with Kelly, but if Fifi backs up I have 9 trades so should be able to get 17 using 2. Wanted to cash out Semi and upgrade Elliot but looks like SMat to someone and Elliot or Kaufusi to Taupau, Mannering if Fifi backs up and I'm guessing Yates gets his regular game time back next week. Might see more with SMat out too.

Congrats on winning our H2H btw

Thanks mate. I have to keep on winning with Milchy breathing down my neck. He's assembled quite a team.

I have added the above to my previous post, but posting again for those who have allready read that post.

Still 9 trades! If shit hits the fan you will be laughing. Last year was non eventful in regards injuries in the run home and quite a few including me finished with a trade or 2 up our sleeves. Last year was the best season in the last decade that I can remember for no injuries so thinking SMat is just the start of it.

Smat being out puts me down to 14 next week including Hampton and thats if Teddy backs up. Will we get 3 trades this week ?

No trades for me this week. My team will be:
McInnes
Fifita, Taupau
Surgess, Crichton, Gallen, Taumalolo, Lane
SJ, DCE, Lamb
Croker, Fuimaono, Kelly
D. Edwards, RTS, C. Walker, Klokstad

I've listed 18 players. If Klokstad is picked, I'll drop Kelly but I think Kata will be back so Klokstad might be out. I'm sure Brown will persevere with Lamb even though he had a shocker & cost the Knights the victory with a poor kick on the last tackle. I hope his confidence isn't too shot & he can pick himself up & put it behind him.

Finishing the season with trades in the bank? What is this sorcery!!

I was in the same boat. Was using trades the last few weeks for fun putting in random PODS that didn't work and probably ended up hurting my ranking. Yeah, have the ability now to upgrade next week, get Smith in round 20, then another decent upgrade in 21 if I want which should leave me with 3 trades into round 21 which should be plenty. Having some depth and holding the likes of Cotric and Croker in the Centres has worked out so far with SMat going down. Looking through the centres, jeez really not much on offer. Tommy obvioulsy the gun but might just stick with the Raiders pairing or Hayne if he backs up.
