I had 4 players from my 25 that I had on Friday lockout that were named in a 1-13 position and did not make the final 17 at kick off.

It works the other way too as That Panthers Guy showed. It's now becoming important to look at numbers 18-21 and anticipate any match day changes. I try my best to look at team announcements 1 hour before KO but it's not always possible.

I have a buddy system with my son. We have an arrangement that one of us will always check the team lists an hour before kickoff and alert the other if there is any news that affects either of our VSDT teams.

Of course, it's easy for me when it's my turn. I just have to check the Pacey v Finchy Late Mail thread and it's all there, thanks to Pacey (in Finchy's absence, hehe).

Too easy!

I have decided to see how the young buck goes this year, so far so good. He is a good apprentice

TLT is pretty useless really for trying to guess who is in your team, but it is good for knowing what players WON'T be playing.

I was over the moon Carty played 5/8 because that meant CHN was playing, But for me it also meant TMM was out and I had to play Frawley and look how that worked out

Yes I was lucky,
I think Milchcow wasn't that lucky though

I just read an article in the Newcastle Herald... Sounds like Brown might stick to his Sione/Feeney combo for now.
Which makes it very tempting for me to upgrade Smat to Whitehead this week

Needed the cash for Crichton, and it was either Gurgess or an even riskier punt.  Shame he couldn't get down to a 3 game ban and at least play rd 12

my tv broke wrote:so trades this season i've gone:

rnd 2 - pythian -> abbey (complete waste in hindsight).
rnd 3 - moeora -> addin fonua blake (sideways)
rnd 3 - suli -> slater (thumbs up)
rnd 4 - kelly -> CHN (thumbs up)
rnd 5 - addin fonua blake -> whitehead (thumbs up)
rnd 5 - elgey -> hampton (complete waste in hindsight)
rnd 6 - siro -> crichton (thumbs up)
rnd 6 - lamb -> a reynolds (thumbs up until hip injury)
rnd 7 - jacks -> nikorima (complete waste in hindsight)

bit all over the place when i look back at it.

Wish abbey would have been Ponga. AFB was a bit of cash shuffling. TBH cant do much about hampton. could of been frawley which would make for the same result. kind of wish i just i just went to a 138k instead of nikorima last week. An AE would of resulted in a better score.
