Yep this happened about 3 times during the game but he's the modern day Fensom who has an extremely high pain threshold.

Yep I’ve traded Harris in for Kikau and gone up 17 points.

Hopefully Fonua is named. Might just grab him and Watson for Lamb and Sorenson and then from next week go about putting final team together. Team will be:

Cook
Fifita, Arrow
Taumalolo, JFH, Martin
DCE, Matterson
Aitken, Hiku
Ponga, Teddy, Walker

Smith, Kikau, Murray, JFH
Watson, Fonua, Brimson, RFM

If a cheaper option is available I may skip Watson

Thoughts guys?

Lone Scout said on twitter he'll look into it.

Pre fanhub round 11 score phuck up = 905 points rank 132 - this is the correct score/rank
Post fanhub round 11 score phuck up = 934 points rank 105 - this is incorrect because it's picked up Martin's score who was in my emergencies over Capewell's score who I actually played.

I havnt changed a thing and lost 1 point and 20 places!!

That's a yes from me mate.

Referees have now been instructed to penalise players at dummy half who intentionally pass the ball into opposition players lying in the ruck

My plan was to bring Cleary straight in for Kikau.

I traded Arrow two weeks ago when he went down but feel like he is a must have. Better off double trading to get Arrow back in or just cut my losses and let him go. Halves is my biggest worry so could do kikau and JFH for mbye and arrow.

Thoughts?

Is cash generation the reasoning behind these trades? If so, then they seem decent.

Cheers mate. Gonna be tough picking the right guys to play each week.

Just swap them after the round is finished and you'll be sweet!

a fine change. i can still see bad calls coming from it, but not the cheap ones like the milford pass to no one

Even if you don't get it right points wise i.e. someone in your emg's gets a big score then at least you have him & he'll generate great cash flow. We can't always get it right but the main thing is at least you have him.

Cmon guys its only round 12, they are going to make the odd mistake early on

Two Round 13 guys who should make a bit of cash and score well enough to be cover. If there is a cheaper option than Watson that shows up in TLT I will probably go in that direction.

Can always use more cash.

Holding all my borderline keepers until next week to see how origin teams unfold.

They did the same to me. I traded in Brimson now I have his score as an emergency from RTS

This happened before and was remedied. Do people not remember?

I’d like to give @SI a big congratulations for giving us all a hiding in the mods league. Well done my friend

Yeah I’m sure people remember I’m just thinking people can’t beleive it happened a second time myself included
