Really regretted bringing him in last week. If I could do last week over, I'd go Hunt for sure. I'm expecting a big game rom Milford tonight.

Just woke up & that's 3 parties I've missed. Living in NZ the parties are too late for this old man. To think when I was a younster I could party all night & drink all the next day. I have to admit this party was a gigantic success & the best yet & brought a smile 10 miles wide catching up. What a fuckin crack-up. Well done boys.

On the odd occasion I drink during the week now I ALWAYS regret it the next day. The next day just drags and drags.

The problem I had when I was young & in my drinking prime was that I never got hangovers, no headaches which meant I really over did it with the alcohol. I'm 51 now & gave up drinking when I was 40. Sure I might have a drink every now or then but not to excess like I use to. I look back at some of the things I did when I was hammered after a 3 day bender & cringe & smile at the same time haha.

I would probably say yes. Milford is an attacking half who scores well against poor defences & could go large tonight & ET will be doing 50 tackles so will also score well. The Milford v BHunt debate favours BHunt imo because Hunt has his kicking game to fall back on & is more consistent. I would prefer Hunt myself but in the scenario you describe Milford & ET are better.

nrl.com late mail re Bhana owners. Smith in doubt with bicep injury & Bhana is a likely late inclusion.

As an owner of neither Hunt or Milf I am excited. One of them is going to be low lying fruit next week.

Damn, missed last nights party and it was a good one too. Perhaps I shouldn't go to bed so early

Well done Fellas reaching page 53...

that was wild!

I hope the afterparty hangover isn't too bad

I'll add some upvotes to the party-animals!

i have never been to a page 50+ party. at least i'm feeling fresh as a daisy this morning!

one of them is going to score 85 tonight. i'm hoping its the one i have.

Is Fatala-Mariner an option?

I'm not sure what Matthews role will be now that Thompson returns fr his suspension. He managed good minutes last week, I believe he came in 17th min and didnt come off. Fairly shit score if you take out the try and lb at the end. Thompson will probably take 80 mins. Which leaves less for him, will have to reassess keeping him for round15 after this week

Late mail says him or the JBD wannabe will drop out.

And fuck yes about the Bhana mail, hopefully it comes through. Whens Rochow expected back?

Few questions.......

Silly one to start with: When does the season finish? Am I right in saying that the H2H playoffs start in round 23 but the overall keeps going through to round 26

Also....hoping someone can confirm here:
According to the "help" section of the fantasy site (under "key dates"), we get an extra trade for the byes on rnds 12, 15 and 19 - not round 18
I think I'd always assumed we'd get an extra trade for the big byes (i.e. rnd 18)

Is the help section wrong or have I just been assuming wrong this whole time?
(or.....most likely...I've misread something and will "gently" be pointed out the error of my mistake  )

hi guys im going h2h only, what do you think of these moves

parcel, nikorima
graham, fifita, lawrence, fisher
gallen, mannering, fensom, lowe, burgess, bateman
milford, reynolds, dce, lamb
aitken, davis, hurrell, kennar
inglis, tedesco, munster, mitchell, feeny

187k in the bank

im thinking of
lawrence - arrow
lamb - huges
mitchell - sau (via kennar swap)

leaves me with 653K

next week i will bring in smith and trbjovic. then at a later date de belin for lowe. then my team is complete except for one more centre

How many trades would that leave you with? You should have a few up your sleeve right?

They seem like good moves - I'd just be keeping an eye on Parcell as his minutes when Koroisau is playing can be unknown - It's nice to have two good hookers just in case one goes down...

Solid team for H2H though - keeping trades set up for the finals is really important though as a few injuries can really stuff you up.

Fuck it, Milf VC and the big C on Semi. Anything less than a 60 from Milf and Semi is going all in.
