I thought VK was taking care of this

Hopefully he is but a contingency plan is always a good idea.

Im a couple of hundred clear but my team is decimated. Slim chance

You're more than 300 points ahead. Surely you won't be that decimated? Even if you can't field 17 you'd be much more than a slim chance. You'll be fine.

@Whitelightning is leading the doggies table too. How many prizes can NRL FF take out ???

I would love to see Fits, Tedesco out. Both on Verbals Team and i want to beat him in the GF.

Would also love to see Ponga out because i sold him last week

I might be getting a little confused between the 'wish lists' and fact, but just in case, I just read on NRL.com that Martin is a chance to play.

I'd never thought about the league rankings before so thought I would check it out. Apparently 42nd overall is good for 10th on the Warriors league table.

The same score would get me first on the Titans, Storm, & Panthers and within 10 points of first on Souths and Raiders.... I feel like I chose the wrong league

No good winning the league of a shit club though, as the prizes are all gear from each club.

Zora's comment that the sharks prize was good got me interested. I assumed they would all be the same, didn't realise each club put up their own. I laughed at how shit Manly's was till I got to the Tiger's prize. That's fuckin woeful, they need to be ashamed of themselves.

Titans and Panthers are always low. If you want to win a team's league I suggest going for one of them

AH, prizes are different are they?

Seems like this might be the first time the warriors are elevated from the “shit club” category;)

Wouldn't the Dogs want to not risk him and keep him for reserve grade finals?

My definition of shit club was meant as a club that you do not personally want to win a jersey and/or membership of. Warriors are still shit





Just stirring. I actually hope the Warriors win it this year if the Sharks don't.

I'd rather win a crap prize for a club I don't support, than come 10th in the league for a team I like.

Looks like Martin will indeed be named and a chance to play this weekend. With the Dogs playing Sunday this is mighty annoying. Was going to trade him for a back instead of Aitken but now I'll have to trade Aitken for someone fucking shit. I want this year to end now.

It must be real tough having trades to cover injuries. Some of us plebs are doing real tough this week

Brutal I know.

Is there a list somewhere of what each club has put up as prizes?

I might claim I'm a Storm fan next year as I don't want season Warriors tickets or a chance to do something in Auckland etc.

Yeah I have a 50 point lead in the Doggies league so it'll be close. He has both Cleary & SJ who are going gangbusters & really hitting form & I don't so I'm hoping A-Rey knocks out a big one. We both have DCE.

Guy who ended up 2nd was last year's winner. That is amazing to back up 2 years in a row

What a bullshit way to split the winners. No meaning at all.
And to say its hard to feel sorry for him, what a load of cods wallop !  If you were ever somehow crafty enough to win something like this twice, then u should be rewarded.
