    I love my LG but I can't buy in with any of the tribalism around iPhone vs Android.

    One thing I do miss about my iPhone (scoff away) is iTunes. Actually really liked the setup.
    I'm not a fan of spotify because of the amount of obscure music I listen to that isn't on there...

    What are the alternatives? I've been using google play music but its certainly a long way from perfect and isn't going to be around much longer by the sounds of it.
    A lot of the more obscure stuff is on Soundcloud

    Started this round at 686. I have 9 players. Decided to only use one trade this week leaving me with 5

    When I say obscure music, I mean like random NZ bands from the nineties.... not current stuff (although current stuff too but probably less obscure and probably on spotify)

    If James plays Origin, who will you guys be looking at instead for this round?

    I am not getting an iphone just to check my historical ranking.

    So are fanatics killing it this year or did everyone else just give up. People ranked just outside the top 1000 overall would only be in League 6 if we did our league rankings for next year at this point.

    Personally I am sitting in L51 territory, so don't need to change rankings too much in the run in

    Players: 8
    Opening Rank: 700

    Would you guys take Tapine as a keeper POD this week, or Taupau/Gallen next week? Trying to think how important this weeks points are.

    I think Tapine should average 50 from now till seasons end.

    Taupau and Gallen would need to score 56+ to outscore Tapine which is definitely possible.

    Would it be wise to save the trade for one of those guys?
    I'm tempted to wait for one of those guys, particularly Gallen

    Just to clarify, my comments were to wind people up. Because im bored.

    @Blain, I think Tapine is okay as an 18th/19th man. DPP would be awesome for someone in that spot though. Ive got him as a poor mans keeper.

    I would have went Aitken if James was ruled out earlier, but will probably go Cotric now.

    Would you guys hold off on bringing in Tapine this week if you could grab Gallen and JTurbo for Kikau and Brimson next week?

    Is James Confirmed as not playing? Or are we speculating?

    I just use my phone for phone calls and listen to music almost exclusively on vinyl. It doesnt let me listen when I am out and about but the added advantage of getting to smell my own farts makes the whole process worthwhile.

    Shouldn't take much for me to get back into L51 this year but I doubt I'll move up into the elite echelon of L4.

    In 80 min games he averages 35.6 tackles 4.7 missed tackles and 88 metres. I don't see him averaging any higher than his current average which is 45.7

    It's close but I think Tapine will still outscore Gal

    I've got a quiet day at work if you do want it checked it was a genuine offer earlier. 
    Fanatics just seem to be absolutely killing it this year. I guess part of the group think that happens means those who follow a bit will all tend to do either well or poorly together. Wish i'd followed along more then I have this year looking at my ranking now.
