I’m guessing you looped with an 18th man in a Sunday game eg Couchman?

It takes the system awhile on those ones.

Had a similar panic a few weeks back with HSS blocking my loop score, you’ll be ok

Been moved to the 28th of May in recent years for some reason

Every day can be international masterbation day if you try hard enough.

Up 10 points, down 37 ranks.

Fanatics back to podium (plus 6,7,9). And new leader

For now it seems I've held on to a top 1000 position thanks to none other than Jacob MF Host in the loop.

Also looks like @BCT05 with the equal highest round score. 2nd fanatic this year.

Don’t think there’s a prize for that.

But NRL fantasy FB does post the side as fantasy team of the week. Then a bunch of morons comment about it missing players or including players because they think it’s an IRL team of the week, or the optimal fantasy team. So there’s something to look forward to.

Congrats to all those killing. ( I had a down week: circa 900 including captain Cleary.)

Thanks mate yes it’s updated I can relax scored 1008 for the round taking my rank to 335 overall. I’m very happy with that I think I’ve only ever been this high up once before.

Is it time to trade Murray? Been a terrible pick since the start of the season.

He's killed me. Dunno what to do with him now, crazy how last year he only had like 3 scores under 50 and this season already has 4 including three in a row under 50.

Fkn spewing.

Cook hasn't been much better either ffs

Going to lose cash fast, trade out for Origin period anyway. Lots of decent MIDs you can get instead that will score better, for less cost.

I had enough because his role is different than last year. He is more eager to pass then run. I thought he would score better has Souths had a few forwards returning this week.

Murray to either JDB, Horsbrough, Hopgood, Matterson is on the cards once lockout is lifted.

Honestly, the best option at this point. With origin around the corner and byes. He isn't worth holding onto.

How many origin players are must have for your final team?

I'm thinking that outside of Cleary, Hynes, Fifita if named, maybe Grant, possibly Haas, you could get away with having no Origin players, with decent alternatives available in each position that will play the Origin bye rounds.

Yeo is probably up there as well, with Murray falling off a cliff and having 2 byes after Origin (round 20 and 26).

Wow congrats to all you guys up the top!

Rolling the dice with Hands over Oloapu's score costing me the 1000. Can't complain with 988 though, finally in the top 10k for the first time this season.

Joey Johns apparently spoke to Billy Smith a couple weeks ago and he was saying he's comfortably the fittest he's ever been, completely changed his diet / cut out the alcohol, training and working way harder, etc.

He's also got that left centre spot for his own (Suaalii moved to the right for him), so realistically if he can stay healthy I think he'll be very valuable given how few cheapies there are at the moment, especially centre cheapies (I suspect a lot of us have a Phins player in one of their centre spots).

I went back and had a closer look at him in today's game and he looked so good, ran the ball hard and got through a lot of work.


Do we dare take the risk again?
