Good thing it's soft to cushion the blow

Haha that one makes me feel better

Glad I kept Alamoti for 16 rounds now!

I only got 20 points more than that last week with 17

Just give Booze the kfc now

Hope Teddy, Fifita and Robson are all right to go next week. If not I'll need to trade Preston and I'd really rather not.

I have to choose between Wilton and Preston to trade out

Or play one down

Not happy

759 for me

That is well above average in the Top 1,000 apparently and I have just scraped into the Top 10,000

Round 5 - 38.098th
Round 16 - 9.997th

I am still coming for you booze .... booze being your contrasting hobby I am sure will be your downfall

764 but think a lot of scores still havnt updated.

Now to hope Origin is kind to Teddy and Carrigan

751/11 which I’m happy with. Allows me to stay skirting the places between 100-150. I’ll have to make a move soon though.

I know nothing about QCup or NSW cup but is there other untapped players knocking about there who missed the NRL chance and could sign and do a job?

Short answer is yes

Local league first grade, junior reps and nsw/qld cup all train very similar styles to nrl teams. There is probably 50 guys in reserve grade that could come in and do a job if they were given the right opportunity. There is probably another 15 Preston’s that would be in with a shout at rookie of the year.

The biggest difference is consistency. The proper nrl level talents can do it week in week out with not much difference between their best games and their worst games.

Kinda feels like the ranks are becoming locked in? 

Struggling to break the 1k mark the last few weeks. Most teams pretty set now

845 which has probably my best round rank ever, but you have to ignore Booze and Ando exist to truly value the score.

Up from 302 to 107 atm. Don’t think NAS update will do anywhere near enough for top 100

Haha brilliant score mate, that’s a very nice jump in the rankings

Looks like Bula and Preston passed the audition to stick around over the next part of bye period. Oloapu and Perham it’s been fun

mattnz wrote:How many Bulldogs, Tigers and Sharks does everyone have?

I only have Hynes, Bula and Bateman.

Expect most have 4 or more - Hynes, Bula, Oloapu and 2 of Preston / Bateman / Nikora / iPap

4 - Hynes, iPap, Bula and my new recruit Simpkin

If someone fails to backup from Origin or is otherwise unavailable I will use one of my many remaining trades to remove them and get 17

Booze even predicts this with the last second offload lol

As I pointed out earlier today - everything Booze touches turns to gold this year.

Cheers mate. Dropped from I think 161 to 302 the week before, which felt like one of those one round disasters where it takes 4-5 rounds to steadily climb back (if at all). So very happy with turning it around and more in just one week

Averillo is an absolute speedster

Got a catalogue of long range tries

Wish the Knights would pick him up as replacement for Dom in '24.
