    Actually Teddy will come in this week. Plenty of options in the forwards.

    Just can't decide who to trade out for him. SMat, ET, Croker. 

    All had some use.

    May as well risk playing Scott with AE options lowest score from Fui or Nu Brown right?

    I can't post a pic for some reason, but my team is;

    Smith, McInnes
    N Brown, Vaughan, Wallace, Tualau
    Lolo, Manners, SBurgess, Crighton, MERRIN, Sao
    Munster, SJ, Brown, Fogerty
    SMat, Joey L, Suli, Fuimanu
    RTS, Teddy, Edwards, Hayne, Abbey

    $87k. So, SJ and Merrin to go this week, only forwards worth getting IMO are Gall, Fifita, J Turbo and maybe Taupau. Halves in my mind are Pearce, Hunt & Cleary (Trap?). DCE, I could get him and Gall with $50k left to upgrade Wallace later on.

    There is a cash out in the centres I'd love to do, but no trades to play with unfortunately.

    Why not. Be grateful you haven't got Hingano like me. I knew he was a problem but put it off, now an AE nightmare.

    Cant go wrong with those 2 trades. How many do you have left? A downgrade in the centres to get cash options options up next week like RTS to Pearce via Munster

    I'd play ARey. But saying that, with a thumb problem, might be a few negative points coming his way.

    How will he deal with crocodiles with an injured thumb?

    In house Eliminator starts tonight!

    If you are 1 of the 128 members of the seeded Leagues (L1 through L8) you are automatically in. Unfortunately no-one outside those Leagues is eligible. Apologies to the new posters this year and those who missed out, but we do it for a few reasons to alleviate past problems running it.

    Match ups will be up tonight or tomorrow Very Happy You don't have to do anything, it is allready sorted. So if you are in L1 to L8 you are also in the Fanatics Eliminator League, check your Leagues page.

    I won't be around much today but a new thread will be up tonight with match ups and rules.

    May the odds forever be in my favour...

    Although I'm clearly no expert, so trust your own judgement.

    This is brilliant.

    He was going to be a playing cashout last week then team lists came out and he wasn't in the 17. Went Isaako instead and then the bastard Cleary put him in the 17 on game day. Evil or Very Mad

    Despite the STORM MACHINE revelation - I've committed to going without Smith for the run home (more as a reverse POD thing than anything else).

    Trades this week: Friend > McCullough & Merrin > Fifita

    Leaves me with 2 trades, and this team:

    McCullough, McInnes
    Fifita, Taupau
    Mannering, Crichton, Taumalolo, Gallen, McGuire
    Cleary, DCE, Moses
    BJ, SMat
    Munster, Walker, Edwards

    18 - Scott (will take BJ/Moses' spot if named)
    19 - Semi
    20 - Fui
    21 - Graham (will move into 17 when back)
    22 - Gurgess
    23 - Nu Brown

    Not the best team, and not enough trades to do much with, but the depth is there across all positions so hopefully can get through the season ok.

    Someone posted yesterday that he may be out this week. Then Rabbit put up a post saying that news from a previously reliable source was that he had a similar neck injury to James Graham.
