807 this round pushing me to 27th overall, and I missed Ponga and CHN, and didn't have Tlolo or JDB either. Had some fortune in other areas though.

Only having 13 for the week was going to be tough. I went in thinking, it's not to bad only 2 players that really aren't great. But having 7 score under 45. That's fuckin sucks

Obviously going for C. Walker for his dpp flexibility was the incorrect call instead of M. Gordon. Same with J. Graham over Tolman. And also last week my decision to go L. Mitchell over Branko Lee is another decision that has cost me over the last 2 weeks. I've only dropped 11 points in rank though so all is good.

Not all that happy getting knocked off in a couple of H2Hs, but managed to weasel my way back up to 629th. This bye period is where the famous Rabbit charge normally begins. Next week's squad is quality.

Finished on a fairly pitiful 620 from my 13 players.
Despite my shitty score I have surprisingly jumped 1800 ranks into the 3000s which is by far my best ranking ever (though this means very little as I am rubbish).

Can't help but think how much better it could have been if not for the Brown and Norman injuries destroying my team. If Brown had played this week I would have traded in Friend instead of Graham so that is a huge loss.

Jake Friend. There's a good lad. Could have scored in the 90's if he didn't have so many missed tackles.

Graham and Brown possibly out, Matagi with the trip. All I have to look forward to in
my front row is JWH's -4s next round. The horror.....................!

If no other issues I'd sell or maybe he's the no. 1 issue so sell.

652 from the lads this week is happy days and more than I thought I was gonna be getting in honesty.
Gallen and Friend the big winners.

Went from 3200 > 1900 so hoping to keep climbing

Look like dropping about 18 places. I know bye rounds should be when fanatics and renegades should be making up ground, but to be honest I'll take that! Can't wait for a normal TLT again #tradewhore

Well everyone did a good job this week except for jwh. At least it wasn't due to injury. Happy with the 645 from 12. Can't with to see what the fallout is from origin.

Looks to be about $270K next week. Hell, I might consider him as a cashout!

He kinda looks like that guy that you just take his losses as surely he can't go too much lower. This was how I played Ryan James at the start of the year. He lost about $150K in a matter of 5-6 weeks, and it just wasn't worth trading him out as he couldn't get me anyone else worthwhile. Just rode it out and he's come good.

711 from my 14 players, Captain Friend saving my score this week! Climbed to 146th and 1st in Panthers rankings. Good week this.

723 and Upto 2077 overall woohoo! But Leilua is turning out to be a real piss off this year.

Pretty bad I would say. Think it's one of the lowest in terms of fantasy ranks, not a huge fanbase probably makes it easier. Gave me a pleasant surprise though.

So time to start bulking up RD15 and RD18, so I guess that just means storm players lol.
19 trades and 400k saved up.

Niko > Munster
Yates > Finucane

Who bloody knows at the moment
