Read these again carefully and I think you'll find there is a problem here. Both parties think they are backing NSW. It's rather disingenuous of Moose to be backing NSW when Welshy was clearly asking for a bet against someone backing Qld. Pretty sure that's what happened last time. If I'm right, that doesn't make you clever it makes you a knob.

I’m backing NSW to win mate at the expense of losing my avatar bud, Goose is Just covering himself if NSW win and he cries he at least gets to make me like like an idiot.

I’ll take a week name name bet with you if you fancy bro? Standard NSW win I choose QLD win you choose

I cracked up at the last line. Just popped out from nowhere after some well crafted benign observations

Maybe not. Pretty knobbish all the same.

Since Welshy did in fact read carefully Mulvy is in fact wrong. Looks like Mulvy is the knob

What do you expect mate? It’s all good anyway I fully understand the workings of the bet.

More Blues avatars needed

I'm going for a punt on J. Hughes assuming Slater will be out for a while. I'm also bringing in Aitken because the Dragons have some easier games coming up so I hope he bags some tries. Both will play round 17 as well. Will leave 115k bank & 10 trades left

Thompson out - J. Hughes in
Murray out - Aitken in

Pretty happy with my 17 depending on origin.
Smith (c)
Fifita, Arrow
Jurbo, Taumalolo, Crichton
DCE, A-Rey
Mitchell, Aitken
Tedesco, Ponga, Hughes

Cook, Taupau, Su'a, Martin
Fonua, Cogger, Isaako, Doueihi

That will be the end of my trades until round 17. With my trades this week it gives me 6 for round 17 so I'll trade in 4 round 17 players in round 17. I think 10 players for round 17 will be ok.

Pretty sure most will agree my observations were spot on. Last I'm going to say on it - it's pointless and boring.

Olive, TMM or Isaako 4th reserve?

More an assumption then an observation. One is fact the other assumed, just like your comment.

Anyway moving on now.

I just realized this was directed at me! (I think). Sure mate, CARN MAROONS! QUEENSLANDER!

TMM will get his hands on the ball the most & he plays the Eels.

Bench was strong before the benchings this week. I like the looks of McInnis, SJ can wait, Might wait till after RD17 for Teddy. Not really anyone else jumping out at me. Where to go

Any idea where to go lads? Thompson is gooooone! Murray may be next on the block. Cogger can hang around until Pearce is back.

Speaking of Archer, hasn't been around much has he? I won that preseason bet we made and posted an avatar for him in the main thread which he mustn't have ever seen. I'm not particularly hung up on it but I can dig it up again if you're around Archer!

I know mate gutted he ain’t been around much this season still doing his teams though just not as active on here

I think some regulars have found other avenues and forum/ chat type things, thatz one way to lose the regulars.

Really? I’m sure In The case of Archer he was traveling mate, who else?

Probably looking at getting Harris and hopefully Martin becomes a keeper or he becomes an out and out gun.

Missing Trbojevic Duo, Taupau, Johnson, Cleary and Crichton.

Solid. If you didn't have Martin already and were looking for a cut-price keeper would consider bringing him in?

Nope not even close. If he was starting yes, but he is on the bench now. As is Tolman who could take a week or two to build up his minutes.
