Lucky for me my wife fell asleep or should I say had power nap so I tactically turned the volume right down, dimmed the lights & I was able to see most of the games. Whenever I sensed eminent dander I changed the channel back to the wedding. When the dust settled it was back to the league.
Joking aside I didn't mind my wife watching the wedding because normally I get to watch all the games every week so she is a champion.

Glad your still with us WL, unlike some poor soul, may he rest in peace

Plenty of players still to come and haven't copped too much carnage during my time overseas
Surgess and Arey first week not looking great but should come good
After emergencies added for RFM and Smith I should be 647 with Fifita, Martin, Croker, Mbye, Dufty, Havili still to come

Only Walker sub 30 so far so I guess I should be happy with that.
Hope the lad gets back to normal soon

Anyone sell Arrow last week?

760 with Fifi, Martin and Havili- could still crack 900 with some luck.
I would take anything close after so much muck, all from "keepers" mind you: Mitchell, Matterson, Reynolds, Lolo and SAM FUCKING BURGESS.

The Surgess 10 hurts most of all, I can deal with underperformers but I brought in Surgess for a half hour stint and now he might not even make the bye round I bought him for. I would rather have taken the 10 point hit, played RFM for no points and saved the money.
Only consolation was my Surgess alternative Jurbo scored poorly by his standards.

That said, I would gladly trade a poor fantasy week for a bunnies win so I am a happy camper this week regardless.

Guilty but I am getting him back this week probably.

Which Walker because that doesn't apply to either

My entire team bar 4 players has scored 42 points or below this week. And not a single injury is to be blamed.
I considered my team to be only 3-4 players off my final 17, so either I'm severely mistaken, or I just suffered a whole lot of simultaneous failure.
Might make 840 if I'm lucky, after 1008 last week.

Yep. I sold Arrow last week. Was going to bring him back after Rd 13. Is he that good that I need to bring that move forward and get him back this week, only to see him have a bye the next week?

It's just a temporary glitch on your outstanding fantasy season to date mate. I bet your team gets back on track next week & you get another big score.

Well, a nice high with captain Ponga then a shitty low from Surgess and Koro.

I really need a hatty from Cotric

He could very well play origin so he'll miss 2 rounds but he's scoring at such a rate he'll probably match someone who plays the 2 extra games.

If anyone wants confirmation the NRL time keepers have no idea, (like fanhub) then take a look at their minutes played

Last night Manly total minutes played 1032, should be 1010 after having 3 x 10 min sin bins, even with the fuck ups should only add another 4 minutes

Individually, both Korosau and Jurbo allegedly played 74 and 73 min respectively despite each being sin binned for 10 min each. How is this possible?

There is usually 1 - 2 games each week that have calculated minutes adding to more then the minutes being played each game but the NRL do nothing to correct it and after last nights debacle have really shit the bed.

I know this is not fantasy relevant but just another thing the NRL have fucked up this year

Yep. I still have semi-keepers in RFM JFH and Kikau. Who makes way for Arrow next week?

JFH because RFM plays 80 mins & is averaging just under 50 & Kikau can go boom plus has high ownership.

Confirmation of a fractured eye socket for Dylan Walker, likely recovery time of 3-6 weeks

Cody. I didn't think anyone owned Dylan

Players I have broken recently:
Matterson: four game average before pickup = 69.5; three game average after pickup = 42.6
Taumalolo: four game average before pickup = 67; two game average after pickup = 47.5
Pangai Junior: two game average before pickup = 50.5; five game average after pickup = 23; four game average after selling = 51

Adam Reynolds owners beware, I bought him in this week: three game average before pickup = 63.7; one game after pickup = 33

Maybe I should start releasing a PSA so people know who to stay clear of.
This week it was Surgess and Reynolds- sorry for the late call guys!

One of your trades next week should be 

Lolo/Matterson > Taupau.

Fix one and break another haha

The fractured eye socket definitely isn't good news for Scott but I love that something actually came from a punch up rather than hurt feelings

@Pookus, sometimes there's coincidence, but that's statistically significant hahaha
