Blessing in disguise for us Fantasy players really.

Has been shit lately.

Same thing with Graham really. Going so shit you want to trade them out but can't justify it. Getting injured takes away any dilemma though.

Only question now is who do I get in his place?

10 point Watto update, bonza.

I now have 1 million dollars in SJ and Surgess on the pine with 1 trade. This is where lessons are supposed to be learnt.

I've dropped 180 places, but I've only had 4 players play so dunno if that's alright or not.

I must be the only player in the top 1000 that doesn't own Surgess

CMat cleared of serious injury, just copped the nasty concussion.

multiple.scoregasms - 1
everyone else - 0

Just looked a bit more closely at my scores, and what a shocker of a week it is.
I've had 7 players play and only 1 has scored over 50. I'm sure that would be an all time low for me. Hopefully everyone else is doing equally poorly.

didn't watch the Roosters/Knights game but saw the reaction to a knock-on in the Tupou try, just watched the vision with the explanation, and i'm not so sure it's as clear-cut as people are suggesting, it looks bad because the angle the ball lands at bounces it forward when it hits the turf, but if you told me to be 100% certain that he has knocked it forward and not straight down, i wouldn't be able to.

I'm apparently in the top 1000 (but wasn't before the start of the round, and also won't be by the end of the round) but I don't own him either. Some luck for me, with 0 trades left!

Farah though....

He is absolutely awful.

Tolman/SMat/Surgess/Crichton and have dropped around 150 places. Quite a few of the non-Smith owners have had viable Captain's play allready as well.

Straight down is also a knock on. 99/100 times that's called a knocked on. 100/100 if it's not against someone like the Knights

True, hopefully quite a few Gal or Fifi captain led teams have played. Had Crichton/Surgess/Walker/Fifita for 205, so not a bad start. Crichton delivering the goods once again.

I don't own him either

True that!

no it's not, just like a flat pass isn't forward, if that ball had followed the same exact trajectory from his hands to the turf, but the end the ball bounced on propelled it backwards instead of forwards, this outrage wouldn't be taking place... or hell, maybe it would, after all it seems to be customary these days to pick out a decision that didn't go the Knights way each weekend and then hold an all-in pity party about it, like no other team has ever had a incorrect call made against them ever.

Any updates for the sharks and rabbitohs yet?
