    Halves and centres completely up shits creek this week. i've fallen back to 148th (after being around 75th two weeks ago and hoping to push high).

    The punt on Hunt has cost me dearly in the last two weeks, but that said, no regrets. I took the gamble when he was playing 7 and it did not pay off.

    Will probably use my last two trades to turn Hunt into Pearce or Cleary, but it'll just be about holding position now.

    JWH will escape penalty with an early guilty plea for his elbow on Lolohea

    The NRL judiciary continues to astound me. If an off the ball elbow to a guys head is grade 1, what would have to happen for a grade 2, grade 3, grade 4 and grade 5 offence?

    JWH didn't use as much force as he could have, but otherwise it would be hard for it to be much worse.

    Taupau to Mannering sounds good. Whatever you do, spend that money. No point having a big bankroll in round 25 if you have upgrades that could be made.

    Upgrading Hodgson or bringing in Tedesco are the other options I'd consider

    Gah. 999 for me and dropped further to 300 and something. Had a brain fade while on holidays and was too late to switch the R off Surgess and put in on JBrom. Cost me 38 points....my 'smart' idea of buying Slade Griffin in case of a Smith injury / rest during the origin period now proving not so smart....

    Managed to pick Crichton over Smith this round gone and will revert back to Smith this weekend, I think.

    1032 for the round. New personal best.  

    Had a lot of popular players and don't have RTS either so it's a surprising score to eek out a couple of extra points. I think A Rey's 68 really helped me out there.

    It was fun to get a good score out of Captain Pearce. This week I'm considering Lolo or Teddy for the C. Latter is very risky but just remembering his game against the Cows last year.  
    Made like a 34 point play to get the last try.

    Two rounds left. Might as well go for broke if TLT doesn't throw up any surprises.

    I'm thinking Graham to JT13. Am I missing any other glaring options?

    It was probably cheaper to sack the coach then sack Hayne. Makes you wonder whether Hayne is toxic or whether Henry lost the locker room.
