Thanks mate

Surgess possible cracked rib? Oh my god why are all my players getting injured lately.

nope - I got rid of him the week he was out with the injured arse. One of the few successful decisions I've made this season.

I may have missed it, but are the eliminator match ups out yet?

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.

It's called a knock on every time, except against us. The Roosters players knew it was a knock on. No one celebrated the try, it was bleeding obvious. It's also simple physics. Latrell is pulling his hand towards him meaning the ball is going to propel forwards.

The game was in the balance and we dropped our lollies after that. It's easy to say we're picking a decision every week but there's always one there against us that dictates the game. The biggest example is the Uate knock on that was overruled by the Bunker live in play which isn't allowed.

Knights fans have every right to be pissed off, those kids are busting their ass each and every week against far superior competition and we're having to fight poor refereeing on top of that. We're a club doing it tough and just want to see a 50/50 result when the game is in the balance to go our way.

ELIMINATOR IS UP!!!!!

There's at least three

Eliminator and match-ups are up lads. Apologies for the wall of text in the first post but it should cover everything. Any questions or issues post in the thread or PM me.

Looks like team will stay as it is now. 3 trades left for injuries and Surgess makes that 2 now.

Hopefully a lot of teams in top 1000 that can't replace him

Friend is at least another two weeks out after this one right? I am holding him but if Surgess is out too then I'll need to replace one of them. Ughhh

I have, Surgess, Merrin and 2 trades. Could soon be 0 trades

213/4 so far for me.

Pretty happy with my Pearce purchase and his 59 as well. Minus 14 in negatives was a bit high but so were his base stats, so a pretty solid investment.

Downside like many others is Surgess, I'll have to use my last trade on him so I wont have the opportunity to bring in Teddy like I wanted to.

I have Surgess Merrin and one trade

Luckily I only have Surgess and 5 trades.

I don't remember this amount of carnage to gun players so far out from the finals in previous years.

Half glass full way of looking at Surgess.
Perhaps Fui will play more/big minutes now?

Only possible way that Surgess being injured can be managed for me.

287/5.

RTS ---> Munster as long as Scott plays.
Surgess ---> Lolo next week.

Will leave me with three trades for the remainder of the season. Starting to pucker up a bit now. :-/

Over the last decade there has been but not so much the last couple of years. Definitely not last year anyway where a few of us finished with a trade or 2 left. In saying that I think the run of injuries last year came early in the season.

Yep, I remember having a trade left in the final round and using it to switch a player to someone who I thought would score 10-15 points higher based on opposition. Got it right but still felt stupid using a trade for a 15 point gain.

Having 3/4 trades left for the final six rounds is cutting it thin this year, I think. I'm glad I've got a few depth players (Scott, Chanel, Fui).

I am hoping all those plebs up top (ie non fanatics) have zero trades, surgess, and no decent 18th man.

Ive got surgess too but I still have four trades. I also have Smat too though, as whinged about last night.

Scott and Hayne could potentially be a better centre pairing.
