He was right to do it, I was way out of line trying to front Gallen as a Captain. But Smith knows, sees through. Here endeth the lesson.

Are we really to blame? Yeah him sitting on the bench with an R and that score next to his name doesn't seem right, but would have been ballsy to put the C on him really.

Almost my bed time so I need someone to run the numbers on this please....

Out of the top 5 averaging players...Per round, How many times has Smith finished as top scorer?

I've got ya back here.

Top 5 averaging players are in order. Smith, Crichton, Lolo, Mannering, Gallen (JDB equal with Gallen but played a game less).

Highest scorer award out of these 5 goes to:

Smith - 7
Crichton - 5
Gallen - 4
Lolo - 3
Mannering - 2

At least you know who to trade Macca to Mr Salty.....

Over the 21 rounds played so far there have been 17 kings of the hill.

Smith has 1 
Gallen has 1
Lolo has 1
Crichton has 2

But the winner with 4 is Rapana

When teams locked out on thursday, Smith was still in major doubt, I'm pretty sure the Storm boss had said "he is hoping to play" at that stage. Parker saying on Sterlo that he thought "there is no way he will play" was a bit of a throw too, as we sort of thought Parker may have been chatting to Smith privately..

I'm happy to have had the R on Smith. But there's no way I was having the balls to C him on Thursday.

Well I'm using my last 2 trades to get Smith in for Macca.

Final Squad:

Smith, McInnes
Fifita, Taupau, Graham, Fai
Crichton, Mannering, Taumalolo, Gallen, McGuire, Fui
Cleary, DCE, Moses, Brown
BJ, Scott, Sione, Brown
Munster, Edwards, Walker, Semi, Abbey

Lolohea: 54 sitting in my NPRs
WFB for the round was:
Dedwards - 36
RTS - 35
Hayne - 33

Please play this weekend Slater and i may run Lolohea over RTS as well. or use one of my last 3 trades RTS > Teddy but with the amount of injuries these last few weeks i'm very tempted to keep all 3 for a few more weeks.

Also have Surgess and McGuire now stinking up my 3rd and 4th R spots. How has McGuire become so shit.

Kings of the hill?

Bloody Surgess dropping too much friggin' coin.  All shit options around that price ugh!

Papalii back this week isn't he?

Yup, same problem with McGuire even with 160k ITB he's dropped too far out of reach of anyone worth keeping.

Sorry, and yes Papa is back. was just suspended until Rnd 22

Wow at McGuire's price!! He could bounce back though with Macca out.

Surgess and 23K don't get much. 1K off Woods and Gillett out of reach now after that 80. James I think will go back to being shit now Titans are screwed. POD Papa looking good. I'm cursing myself for geting rid of my 2FR's in my centres weeks ago.

Just noticed Buhrer is now DPP for anyone looking for a cheaper Macca replacement.

CKing to CS9 this week...
I had hoped to hold this trade off for a couple more rounds and let King make a bit more coin, but the Storm Machine needs to be in my 17 now.

Also
Podene to NBrown

When are H2H finals meant to start in NRL Fantasy Leagues? Noticed that one League I am in has their Grand Final this week. Surely that is a settings mistake?

Up to 119th with 2 trades left and 112k ITB

Smith, McInnes
Vaughan, Taupau, Brown
Taumalolo, Crichton, Gallen, JDB, Surgess
Munster, Walker
Tturbo, Hayne
Teddy, Edwards, RTS

Elliot, Leilua, Fuimaono, Semi

I'm 3k off going Semi > Pearce I can trade Surgess to him via DPP but might wait another week and hope Pearce drops more cash and Semi doesn't. On the other hand, the Roosters play the Storm away next week...

I find it a tad funny how for years Buhrer had DPP 2RF/HOK but never played there. The one year he does they had taken it off him.

Not sure mate. 1 of my leagues is starting the finals series this week and the other has a round left to go....
