Gallen going big. lol I originally had the C on him but changed it to Mannering. Another time I've C'ed a 70+ scorer only for my original choice to do better anyway.
I mean possibly anyway. Gal hasn't played the 80 once this year, strange time for him to do it in a game they're likely not going to win.

This game is terrible. At least Captain Gallen is doing well, I thought to myself. But no, it turns out he's not even my captain. No idea how that happened.

Gold Coast winning by 30...Hayne's scored 27 defensive points, but he's still only on 32. How does that happen?

i've lost more places in this one with Fifita & Hayne than i did with none in the first game.

Thanks for all those attacking stats Jarryd in a game your team is winning 30 FREAKING NIL

Thanks for the consolation points, Capewell.

speak volumes about how far the Storm are ahead of this rest of the pack when you consider that Manly will probably be 2nd after this week

10 or so lovely junk points from NuBrown right on the stroke of FT

Why didn't I captain Gallen

Not owning Gallen hurt the old rankings in that one.

Pretty happy with Fifi's score though considering.

I didn't either but I thought I did. I'm sure I did. The C is on Crichton for some reason. Crichton wasn't even one of the players I was tossing up putting as captain this week. I don't understand what happened

How’s everyone doing so far this round? I feel I might be a bit behind not owning Cleary, although I did captain Gallen.
8/438 with captain played. The majority of my players are in tomorrow’s games.
Taupau, Eisenhuth, Marsters, Cherry Evans, Fuimanono, Tedesco, C. Walker, Taumalolo and Crichton to play.

Absolutely flying this week lads
748 with Crichton, Taumalolo, Walker and Lane to come. Expected a few updates from Isaako has only been given 1 kick defusal and took about 8 kicks on the full. If MWZ is a late call up to take away my NuBrown AE that could hurt the rankings but as it stands I have gone from 4,357 to inside the top 200 during the bye rounds. Just goes to show how much impact bye planning can have on your rank

Just looking on the nrl physio twitter and they seem to think that an ACL for S. Johnson is unlikely but possible. The mechanism of injury and where the ice was placed on his knee suggests a quad or patella tendon injury. Not sure if anyone has mentioned any other news, my apologies otherwise. Fingers crossed it’s not too bad.

550 from 9 when I factor in Mannering's loophole. 7 to play tomorrow unless Laybutt gets a run, hoping for 900 and that's one short and without Cleary...going to be some huge scores this week.

633/11 with Taupau, Surgess, Taumalolo (C) TTurbo and Fui to come with the 72 from my Mannering loophole yet to be added.

608/9 Captain Gal.

Averages put me around 950. Would be nice if 1 or 2 guys could go big to push me over the 1000 mark.

For SJ's sake I hope its not serious.

From a fantasy point of view I suspect he'll be missing enough weeks to make him a trade out anyway

I'm 544/11, which isn't terrible I suppose. Crichton, Tlolo, Walker x2, Fui and Teddy to play.

Yeah it's a weird one. While I was watching the game I thought he did a hammy. That's what it looked like any way.
