Mate there is many different variations and degrees of a "torn acl"

Done mine 3 times, different each time.

Phillip Rivers actually played on a partially torn ACL in AFC championship game many moons ago.

Soft. Marshmallow.

Sure started the downfall. injury free all the way through junior rugby then soon as one went was all downhill

And fair shakes on restoring the avatar.

I’m normally a very humble person, but this needs mentioning even if it goes against my shy, reserved nature.

R1 - 21,732

Now - 49th. I’ve taken a screenshot, because this could be the highlight of my fantasy career  

@Rabbit

That is an outstanding comeback, fair play fella and no whining about the Fifi captain shot either!

Shot Rabbit, shows those that are writing off their seasons after one week just need some patience and good trades. Nicely done.

Not sure if mentioned but Cleary Snr said he is going through every single player on the team and a massive cull could be in place

Hard to out a finger on it, squad is there, reckon something is on behind the scenes for sure!

Quality props - RCG, Tamou, Leota impact lacking a bit of depth behind them
Quality back row - Kikau, JFH, Yeo - lacking a bit of bench prowess
medicore at best rakes - Egan, Katoa
Quality REP halves paring - Cleary, Maloney, laui in reserve
Decent backs just lacking form - Mansour, Edwards, Blake, Whare, DWZ

Think the form of the back 3 is a huge issue but reckon its coming from within the club, something def fishy

Yep. Gus fucked them.

Just looking at the replay of the Bonzo v Manly game. Milford was all class

Just looking at the delay between posts your response was all rabbit?

I had this same trade locked in early in the week but reversed my trade! Decided getting Taumalolo either this week or next week was a priority

Really shouldn't have checked the rankings when I only had Haas last night

273/6 with no captain

I'm thinking I might gamble on picking one of the sub-gun HLFs in Milford or Cleary (was looking at them this week) and avoid a major benching headache and have arguably 2 gun HLFs with ARey as well which could be a differential. Probably able to give Farah one more week to see if the scoreline was why he was rested and see true impact of Liddle

A couple of my thoughts:
(1) 1st week JFH owner & I was impressed. I'm not going to bag him for missing 8 tackles because he was into everything, gave 100% & tried his very best. Pity the rest of the team don't have his attitude.
(2) I'm glad Milford got 82 because Rabs owns him & he captained Fifita & this softens the blow. I'm glad Matterson scored 77 because MS owns him & he captained Fifita & this softens the blow.
(3) Turpin I thought had a great game & the Broncos looked much better with him at dummy half than Macca due to his speed which Macca doesn't have. If Turpin plays to the same standard while Macca is out I think Macca could find it hard to get back into the team. With Turpin's speed out of dummy half this flowed through to the rest of the team & Milford had a great game.

Just a quick tip of the hat to my L3 opponent Bullbender who has lived up to his team name of Testicular Fortitude, Captaining Milf! Ballsy indeed. He also doesn’t have Fifi so I am staring down the barrel of another loss at this stage.

Otherwise, slowly fighting back after a bad start, at the expense of all my trades though!

Honestly, it was probably because Milford scored so good so it kind of "balances out". If Milford gets 30, you can bet there would be a bit of whining.

Currently 339/7 captain Cook to play.

prob my worst week thus far but havent really moved in the ranks so it could be worse.

I agree with Pacey re JFH & his high missed tackle stat. They have him at 8 missed tackles (they originally had him at 9). A lot of those missed tackles were he was just holding on to the attacker but there was already enough tacklers so he released & got back into position. As Pacey mentioned SC only have him at 3 missed tackles. Hopefully when they review the game again (probably unlikely haha) they will take some of those mt's off him.

Fantasy also gave JFH an extra 7 tackles, but nobody is demanding that they be reconsidered
