917 for me. Next week I can bring in Arrow (JFH out) & a good wfb.

Aitken is the best scoring centre so far this season, you don't need to replace him.

Fixed your message. Just because he started the season with all those tries doesn't mean they will continue as you can see by last two weeks

Who would you be thinking of replacing him with?

All centres are inconsistent this season, trading out the best averaging centre halfway through the season is unnecessary.

957, definitely got there with some luck this week. Arrow and maybe Teddy to join the crew next week, or a POD.

905. Dropped out of the top 100 again. Not sure on trades at this stage

Don't know mate, just salty.

JMK, Martin and Fifita all surpassing expectations sure helped me.

Nice one. Pulled away from me by a few more points

How are you looking for next week? I might have to bring Arrow back in!

987. Ponga Captain. Lowest score Lamb 32

I actually just dropped to 2nd by 1 point! Not sure what happened there as all players still have the same score and was way after the game finished.
You did well to hold on even with Burgess etc.

Looking much better for next week. Smith back and hopefully RFM. And hopefully everyone else will get back to scoring 50s instead of 30s. Glad I kept Arrow.

Haven't decided on trades yet. Not sure if I should be going for more round 13 players. Need to get rid of Lamb though

Hey team, what are the rules for moving up the Fanatics Leagues? ie. How many of the 16 in League 9 get to move up to League 8 for next year?

McCullough
Tedesco
Fitzgibbon
Harris

This is my short list for next week and have no idea which way to go. McCullough and Teddy both probably play origin

Rankings are redone every year based on previous years rankings.
So the top 16 people in the sportal overall league will be L1 next year (assuming they all play again next year)

So in theory everyone in L9 could go to L1

Only constraint is that new players can't start in L1 or L2

There's no relegation/promotion as such, its generally done on finishing position for the year.

eg; if you were in league 4 but finished top overall, you'll be in league 1 next year.

Ah cool. Thanks Milch! ... and Filth

RFM back next week means I can get Matterson back to the halves.

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!

I feel I should probably add Mbye to this list:
Three game average before pickup = 62.3; six game average after pickup = 31.6; two game average after selling = 50

Fuck this shit. It's not like their scores slowly degrade either, they start scoring poorly literally the game that I buy them and then pickup again the game I sell them.
I am absolutely cursed for sure

The worst part about Mbye is now I am looking for a 3rd WFB when just two weeks ago I sold one of only two unowned guns in that position.
Should I just swallow my pride and buy him back, or move onto TTrbo despite his impending origin duties?

If you trade in Turbo I will take a photo of my morning dump and send it to you every single day until you trade him back out.

Joke's on you coz I am into that kind of shit
(literally and metaphorically)
Sorry bud, Turbo is very likely coming in at lockout

Fifita will be a bit over 950K after lockout. It goes against the way I play this game but I think I have to get him in.

Kikau/JFH - Brimson
Havilli - Fifita
