This is par for the course each year. Everyone basically has the same forwards but the backs will be different

Yeah I know, but I just thought there have been more options in the forwards in previous years. I think it comes down to the fact that all of my league games are dead rubbers this week. I am sure things will heat up when the knockout games happen.

21 man squads over 25 may impact a little. But generally everyone ends up with similar teams.

Arrow and Isaako > Cleary and Mitchell. 1 trade 38k left.

Cook
Fifita, Taupau
Trbojevic, Taumalolo, Martin
Cleary, DCE
Mitchell, Aitken
Tedesco, RTS, Hopoate

Smith, Farah, Fainu, Milford
SJ, Tolman, Brimson, Mann

The open bench means that instead of everyone having Smith and Cook, some people have McInnes/Farah/Fainu too.

So that helps a little. Plus a lot of people will be 1 or 2 down on the ideal pack, so there will likely be a couple of PODs in most H2H matchups

PS, No Worries cleaning up the first post. He's going to wrap up the award for mod who gets no recognition

Just to confirm, is Alvaro out till round 24 - is that legit? Cheers.

Sorry for not answering people’s questions,I will try to be much better in that regard. As for my own team I think I’ll just be trading Mbye to Ponga and leaving Arrow as 18th man. Hoping Isaako can still provide decent scores or if not I suppose I could burn my last trade at some point to bring in Turbo in his place. Here’s how my team looks(no questions this time)

1 trade 48k bank

Cook
Fifita James
Taumalolo Jurbo Martin
SJ ARey
Mitchell Aitken
Tedesco Ponga Isaako

Smith
McInnes
Farah
Brown

Arrow
Fainu
Lewis
Hetherington

I can't take all the credit. It was Rabbits who pointed out the byes were over weeks ago and also you who gave up doing the BE's.

Im trading Arrow out. Probably will regret it but oh well

Zora, for info - 7th has 3 trades and 9th has 5! Apparently....

Ramien named for Jets, if anyone has him.

I think that was tweeted from NRL Physio mate, but I don't there there has been anything official from the club.

Wow, thanks.
5 trades hey. That guy must be praying for mass carnage. He made a huge jump up the ranks after last week. We'd better be watching our backs.

Rabbits is good like that.

Same. Arrow to Tolman this week.

Lolo --> Brown
Lewis --> Critchton via Martin

Damn, I'm gonna start copping 0's now unless Hiku returns.. Held onto Doueihi thinking he'd get CTR too. Should've turned him into Hoppa for the bye like I'd planned

Surely that an error, Jesse has been their best back all year behind Val

Must’ve been fixed, he ain’t there anymore!!

Yeah, indeed seemed odd.
