2019 VSDT NRL

Can't handle Ponga's withdrawal, going to cop Kahu's 9 as AE.

That's my eliminator gone

Dammit second time I have to cop an AE

Argh same here. Gonna be close now

It's moments like this where you appreciate the Fantasy ranked sub system

Supercoach I have Ponga and can sub him out, but VSDT both my other halves are locked out, so Ponga has to play.. Just the luck of the draw

Man, I’m glad I’m swimming in cash this year otherwise Pearce would be really killing my year

Ran the risk of AE for Cleary and then Ponga not playing now means I'm playing one short. I have no cover in HLF for Cleary and Ponga and Munster is locked out at WFB. Lesson here is that if someone is fractionally in doubt make sure you have cover. I have two players as cover at WFB and should have shifted Munster into the halves for Ponga. This would have guaranteed an eliminator win.

My Ma'u and their N. Brown and Bateman are doing a sterling job giving me a chance to stay alive in eliminator though. Looks like Xerri and Tamou will have to score 140ish for me to loose. And of cause that can happen, and I expect it will.

I got a lovely 7 points for Ponga (Havili). I think I've lost my eliminator :***(

To'o gets to save me from an AE at wing/fullback for the 2nd week in a row. Can feel another try for him coming up today. 110 lead with To'o and RTS v I papalii and Kikau the difference. Should get through the eliminator to see another week.

Limped over the line. Phew

Through to the next round in the Eliminator by 116 points. Chose Smith as captain over Lolo vc and leaving out Tedesco back fired because Ponga pulled out which meant had to play To'o but still was better than getting an AE. Ended up 937. Johnson leaked some cash this week and be ripe as 1 of the trades for next week. He had a BE of 95 and got 54.

I'm phew with you.
My 16 player team got 919 before updates. Means I probably get a tough eliminator in a couple of weeks but at least I'm still in.
Had floating AE all arvo. That with 140 points to counter Tamou and Xerri and Tamou goes and scores 80. Death riding Xerri actually worked. It can be pretty hard work death riding some players. Phew.

967 but looks like my Norman trade in becomes a horror show with his origin inclusion looking likely

Got home comfortably in the end, still in it.

Nice score mate - not sure there will be many better in the top 10.

Yeah that's a shame about Norman if thats the case. Looked like a great move otherwise.

This part of the season requires a bit of luck with Origin: Selections going your way, and cashouts scoring well.

Nice score mate Jumped me overall by 3 points into where I was in 4th. I'm down 1 spot to 5th. Am surprised they'd go Norman as the replacement for Origin and didn't pick Feldt to come in on wing with Gagai to centre and Munster move to fullback with Morgan at 5/8. I'm awaiting Milford's knee injury scans to know if lost another one for round 16.

I hope Norman gets spared but I have my doubts, If Klemmer misses selection I'm going to chuck him straight in for Murray and get SST for JFH at an early look

With the Lee injury, Moga could become a valuable cashout

Yeah eagerly awaiting TLT to see what cash outs there are. I think the quality of cash outs should shape what people do.

Apparently SST in doubt too.... so watch that space.

Yes mate seen that concussion tests for SST. Klemmer a definite trade in if Sims is spared but seems highly unlikely

Tevaga might be a dice roll for me in this format

Talk in today's paper that Sims may get off because they have charged him with dangerous contact and he wraps his arms around Morgan which is a tackle not contact. So not going for a downgrade or denying it but getting it thrown out.

Plus ask the QLDers, they only have 2 people in the judiciary pool. So we will pick one as a token gesture and just out vote them. Sims plays every day of the week.
