Pretty rubbish round of 849 for me but still managed to scrape through in the eliminator.

Lost my eliminator 896 - 910.
100% of the blame goes to DCE with his piss weak effort of 14 points !!

Happy with 948 considering I had Cook at captain. Plowed into the top 100, finally got it all coming together and still in the Eliminator. Might have left my run too late in some leagues but hopefully I can make the top 8 in most

DCE lost my eliminator mathcup the shit, plus my opponent also owning James lost by 13 and should of won easily

931 wins eliminator for me by 86 and I also crawl into top 100.

I got through with 933 points. Seems like a decent draw this week too - only 4 players in common though so anything could happen.

Up to 58th overall. In trouble for Rd 17 but i’m guessing so is everyone.

Milchy posed the question in the Fantasy thread a few days ago-anyone getting Farah?

I am back in 200th so nothing to lose. My Cook out/Rein in 6 weeks ago worked great but I've just been shit in other areas. I bought Cook back in a couple of weeks ago but am happy to use the trade to make 350k on the Farah transaction. Bear in mind that I am out of contention and still have 13 trades and almost 0 cash. It is not something I would consider if I was Top 20 or even Top 50 or so.

I think Farah can average at least 50 and I do feel Cook might back off a bit to maybe just under 60 average going forward (just a gut feel). So the 350k allows me to upgrade to pretty much the best 17 elsewhere and still have 8 or 9 trades left for the run home.

I'm going Farah also allows me to upgrade jfh and kikau after the byes

I'm in the same boat, never thought of that. Lock it in Edddie

Can often happen as a function of the NRL having their showcase event and season climax in the middle of the year.

Having said that, Bellamy has been brilliant at managing the mental side of his players welfare post-Origin and potentially Siebold has picked up on a lot of this.

Thanks bro. Those are the 3 I have them on currently, so it's glad to have a bit of reinforcement. Tough choices though, needed to test the waters lol

Su'a would be next choice but TPJ would actually be number 1 IF he was guaranteed 80 on the edge but I don't think he is

FWIW they'd be who I'd choose also.

I am leaving Crichton out of my 17 this week !!
My bench will be Cook, James, Arrow & Martin

genius or crazy ?

Latemail is saying Munster is struggling with an ankle injury Dizzle, not sure if a smokescreen though.

Arrow more likely to break.
