Thanks, have sent them a message, when I get a reply I will let everyone know.

I hate to discourage you, but don't hold your breath waiting for a response.
Prior to round 1, Mrs Chucky sent them an email when she was unable to login into her team.
She finally got a reply yesterday, which basically said that it was a problem with her NRL account so ask them.

Fuck. Reverse trade.

Imagine having him in your draft team as the backup, you'd think there might be a slightly more reliable option somewhere in the NRL

You did warn us about that

At least there has been advance warning on Kennar going down so people can trade in a CTR, if they wish to.

I have option of running with Hiku/Inglis this week and fixing CTRs up later, or bringing in someone now (can afford pretty much anyone, but Peachey is tempting)

Also a few people sent messages to them about exactly this question, and the response received was along the lines of "we can't tell you, its really complicated"

Croker - Peachy has piqued my interest 

Peachy always gets handed some sort of starting gig, goes well, then disappears back to the bench it seems

You know what's piqued my interest? My trade offer.
But yeah, the peach seems like a classy footballer who tends to make a fist of it wherever you put him, just never gets left in one spot.

Lol if anything will sway me off him, it is this stat

Well I need a centre so Cartwright will have to go early.

Merrin - DCE
Cartwright - Isaako

Crocker and Nicholls can be sorted next week.

Haha, yeah I'm in the market for a centre and was really keen until I looked him up. Think it will have to be Isaako for me and maybe bring in a half for Lichaa. Perhaps Matterson or balls to the wall and go Milford.

Week 2
TPJ subs in as FRF



Week 3
TPJ subs in as 2RF




Same 17 named each week, just changed order of 19-21, and it changed what no 18 did.

Milchcow, do you assume that it is looking at the option of either FRF/2RF, then determining which to use, based on the opposite of what the next available player in either position is?

i.e. it looked at Brom as a FRF and determined that TPJ was a 2RF one week, then saw RFM as the next option as a 2RF the other week and determined that therefore TPJ must be a FRF instead?

Anyone keen to speculate that tbe sharkies may have better medical treatments that can keep Dugan on the field longer?

That is my best guess at what is happening, but am not confident enough to say for sure that is the case.

You getting flooded in again there or not?

Not this time! Some pretty heavy rain but the house is staying dry. Last time people were legit canoeing up and down my street!

A mate of mine is in Halifax and She just posted a piccy of her Tinny moored up at the levy bank. The one w few weeks ago they didn't have to leave the house so this one is worse there.

Not seeing any other explanation that makes sense. It definitely isnt maximizing the scores for the player, but cant determine if it is minimizing the scores either, due to the equal scoring one week.

The -4 was at centre

Dugan is priced at 35
Dugan's average as fullback is 45
Dugan's average as 80 minute fullback is 47.8

How good is the Shark's peptide program these days?

I am aware it was at centre. Got the info off your page after all. I was just providing info about his time on the park. No doubting he is great value if he can stay on the field.

Dugan was one of my POD's last year. I had literally never owned him before and the majority of people seemed to have at some stage. Thought I was a fucking genius after the first month, averaging 50 and only a few percent ownership. You know what happened next.
