VSDT Super Rugby

Richie Mo'unga, don't ya love him.

Well I have well and truly butchered my game haha! To make things worse I put a multi on the round of super rugby taking all home teams and NSW to beat Sunwolves.

That multi was paying 45 : 1, but I stupidly added in England to beat Wales based on some so-called rugby pundits talking about the game over on the radio

Would have been a return ~$3,500 but instead = 0! Should have stuck with the home v away strategy, backed Wales and the return would have been ~$6k.

Only saving grace this year is that Im accumulating a nice wager on the Crussders to win the NZ conference and the title. Will continue to bet on them each week until the odds aren't value.

On terms of fantasy, Im really struggling to find a strategy that makes sense this year due to the uncertainty around when NZ players will be rested. I may well throw in the towel if I cant turn things around!

Good luck to everyone else though, especially Trajan who is killing it.

Don’t throw in the towel, it’s a long season buddy

Yeah, trouble is Im way too short on time and I haven't been able to do much research or news reading at all.... And I want to focus on NRL. Just cant see me doing any good this year, particularly given the start I've had. I'll keep in it for a couple more weeks, but not looking promising at the moment. Im also away on holiday for 3 weeks from today so unlikely to even have internet for some of that, and certainly won't be able to keep a close eye on team sheets. Will do my best...

Hang in there Rippin and Tearin, the Chiefs are about to help you out. The Chiefs have lost their opening two games and were dreadful last round. They play the Sunwolves this round and I expect them

to go medieval on the Sunwolves  at home. D.McKenzie if he plays is the captain of the round. Ant will score well and whoever is on the wings will probably prosper. Whitely has done his pec so he goes for Frizzel

who looks the goods this season. Have a great holiday.

I'm still all in Trajan. I learned some valuable lessons last week with my trades, cappo etc. I'll hopefully be able to make some better decisions. Cheers for the info!

A couple of good rounds Verbal, thats all it takes at this stage. The Chiefs have the Crusaders and Hurricanes after this round so they must win convincingly or they are toast in the N.Z. conference.

The farce continues with All Black players this round. Anton Lienert-Brown, Nepo Laulala and Nathan Harris are out the Chief's coach has stated and Retallick is on reduced minutes.

And no Jordie Barrett

Be on guard for Scott Barrett and Retallick will not finish their games if they abide by the All Black protocols. The Blues may cause more headaches yet.

Laumape

Hands up if you captained Reiko?

man it's hard to keep enthusiastic about this comp

Yeah man, Im done.

I missed the first couple of games in the last round. Luckily had the (v) on a player that scored 60-odd and scored 343 for the round. Went up 168 places.

I'm still playing this one but with min effort. I'm 120 points behind Trajan and will plod along with the hope of catching up.

Did anyone stick this out until the end? What a mind fuck of a fantasy season that would have been...

I did not, and when I watched Hurricanes B win on the weekend I was glad I didn't.

Nah, I quit a while back. I usually stick things through but there were way too many changes to try and keep track of

Haha, that's what made me think of it again to be honest.
