Bren has gone on holiday. Although he did mysteriously delete his account just before he left - no explanation given. Hope he signs back up when he comes back (think he was going for 6 weeks)

Probably because he doesn't trust the Mods

Can't blame him, bunch of up-to-no-gooders.

Coming back to my Captaincy mystery...

Apparently, if you reverse a trade (before lock-out), it resets your captaincy choice... I thought that only happened when you rolled back your team

I wanted Grand Angus as my captain, but will have to do with Cam Smith as my second choice

I was thinking the same. It kills me having Smithy as captain and sliding dismally down the ranks every week, sweating on Sunday for Melbourne to play.

Pauli Pauli drops out of the Knights squad.
Good news for Yates and Stone owners.

Just noticed due to a west tigers tweet that Suli has only missed 4 tackles this year. Fair enough alot of wingers don't have that much work to do but that is low for playing in a struggling side.

Wardle is the man looking to come back into the starting side.

For your sake (and mine) I hope grand angus gets 70 and cap cam gets 71. But you know what fantasy will do to you. It will put it right in you, deep

Looking at Ryan Simpkins. Anyone to come back into the mix for the Titans that might affect his role/position/minutes? Hard to keep track of all the Titans injuries...

Has he deleted his Twitter as well?

My round 2 trades are probably the best decisions I have made in my entire life.

Papalii to Hoare

and

Plythian to Abbey


WTF was I thinking..

Paasi, Grevsmuhl, maybe Max King at a strech

Grand Angus will probably score 80+ while Smith will score something like 48...

the joys of fantasy

I guess I won't be passing you on the ladder tonight

Honeysett will be happy.

I have decided to bring in CNK rather than Feeney

Wtf @ that Papa news. I honestly don't understand the NRL, why didn't they take action against Papa when the club did and first told them about it. AFAIK the only information that has come out during the trial is that he self reported... not sure how that warrants further punishment.

I'm playing Manlybeaver in L51 & he has captained Crichton (crafty beaver) so if he goes huge I think he'll be ahead in our game so I you'll still be on top.

Mal laid down the benchmark last year that you have to adhere to high standards so it doesn't surprise me that he dropped him. Fifita never got picked in the 4 nations last year for the same reason.

wacko just tweeted - JT out of the game tonight as he pulled up sore after the captains run yesterday.
