I was hoping for something like 4 weeks. Hopefully Sexton can maintain his form without Campbell

Well deserved Milchy , recognition for all your efforts congratulations to the humble

Congrats and thanks Mitchcow. You answered many of my questions since I joined.

I should have pulled the trigger on Reuben Garrick last weekend , even though he misses out in round 17 think he may be a keeper and worth a punt.

Lord of the Byes results are now out and it's a familiar face topping the leaderboard:

Helping new posters,  essays on how price changes and looping works,  and helping with the community team has not gone unnoticed.

Cheers for everything mate. Bovine party later?!

When I first joined the forum, you were the first person I realised to be a legend.
Really appreciate you share all your knowledge openly, and go out of your way to help new comers and poor players with equanimity.  That's what makes this the best site going around.
A big big thank you

Gotta echo these sentiments.

My first post here was mid season and my team was in shambles. It was round 10 or something, I'd max traded because I thought I got 2 trades every round and no maximum cap, and I had JWH in my team.

I dropped by, wrote up my team, and essentially begged for help. Milchy wrote a 5000 word essay running me through my team, the trade structure, bye rounds, players I should focus on getting in and getting out, and much much more.

I think it's safe to say that without his warm and generous welcome I'd not be here today, addicted to this forum.

Cheers Milch you legend.

5 pages of sucking Milch's dick. It must be red raw like one of those red rocket dog cocks. Other than me who are the other Sportal Immortals ?

This is where I decide the with/without Campbell averages for Sexton are actually small sample variance and not the entire reason I took the gamble on him. So everything is fine…

Haha, same!

Can't they play Sami or Thompson there?

Reckon Thompson would go okay. Marzhew back on wing?

I've come up with a new plan for trading this week, please feel free to poke holes in it.

Hastings to DBrown - Bags has averaged 60 this year when he hasn't been moved to centre

Ponga to Mulitalo - I've already waxed lyrical about why I want him, but TLDR: Sharks always go left

Billy Smith to Dockar-Clay - Need money and a HOK this week, ZDC does both those things for me and seems to have taken that Dogs bench spot in the wake of Barrett's sacking. I'm not expecting much here, just 20ish points and a warm body.


This would leave me 7+4 trades and 58k bank, so yes, I am cutting it close with trades and this is a risky play, but I was planning to trade all three of these guys anyway. Leaves me the following side - if I can end up keeping RFM, MKing and Elliott, then I'm only one spot short of my final 17 with 7+4 trades left.

Cook
Haas, Ipap, Matto
Angus, RFM
Munster, Cleary
Tago, Mulitalo
May, Hynes, Ramsey

Cotter, DBrown, MKing, Elliott

Kiraz, Koula, Dockar-Clay, Vailea

Have up to 628k to replace Starling,who are the best options? Leaning towards maybe a WFB so I don’t have to keep playing Koula

He played the Warriors. He was priced at 47. At 72mins he was on 47 then got lucky try from weird falcon off Warriors head. Then on 61pts with 5 secs left he gets 9pts because of stupid Walsh play.

I think 47 upper end of his average for rest of season against teams not called Warriors

That doesn’t explain the 60+ scores vs Eels & Storm.

I’m not sure I’d pick him up now but grabbing him when Turbo went down had been fruitful so far..

If anything he will raise enough capital to buy a proper gun post R17.
