A couple of years ago I was in with a genuine chance at taking out overall in VSDT.
I had my trades planned down in extreme detail. Had a sheet going with my ytrades every week over the byes, and who was coming in when. Was going to have 16/17 players in every bye round (this was back when they had multiple bye rounds)
Then Jake Friend got injured in the 3rd minute just before a bye round, then a couple weeks later Manu Ma'u did the same thing and missed a few weeks.
I was the only person in the top 10 to have them both and it cost me my shot at glory.
There were 1 or 2 other things that went against me, but they were either pretty minor or impacted everyone at the top.
Prolonged grumpiness over that is a big reason why I don't spend too much time bye planning these days (that and the new bye format makes it less important/useful for extensive bye planning)
Similar for me Milchy. Surgess suspended(try and guess the year), McQueen selected for origin from nowhere ruined my bye planning

Damn straight. I haven't got my Captain choice right once this year. I guess part of that is not having good captain choices......
Fifita entered this round as the highest average player lol

Seems weird that if you were going to shortchange him the 20 extra mins he's been playing, you'd do it in the big game versus the Storm. I guess the result would vindicate that strange coaching decision though.
I think it was more rewarding Uele with extra game time, more than denying Fifita minutes

Yeah, trading Capewell out for Flanagan seems to have been a wise move.

The bench forwards were playing really well.

I think a lot of people who have both Cook and Fifita will have taken the C off Cook after last week, but that doesn't make it any easier.

Good for my team, got them 3. Makes up for the -4 in downgrades I copped from last night's game (Reynolds -3, Murray -2, Cook +1) which hasn't been reflected in fantasy yet

I know, which is why I brought him in, in round 5 so I could have a decent captain choice. He went off that round with his "hammy" when he looked likely. Then couldn't captain him the following week because of said "hammy". Didn't captain him last week because I'm an idiot. Went back to him this week and........

I will persist with Morgan. Dunno what the go is with him. I reckon that shoulder complaint against the Broncos still has something to do with it. He use to be a solid defender but the way he stays out of tackles and his misses when he is involved is strange. We can see though from his junk points the last two weeks he's capable of being very fantasy relevant. The last 2 months of 2017 when he lead them to the GF his fantasy scores were awesome.
