Lucky Berry did ok as I then put Newman on field for the loophole

2123 for me... with many villains... saved by VC Rocky, Titch and Newman.. Tom Lynch the worst offender...

2122 and newmans 151 stranded on the bench i left him on the field last week and used the E but when williamson bombed i had no option but to put stewart on the field who scored equally as poorly. Ill be intrigued to see if horse can find a way to drop the new man next week. Was tempted to get vince for hampton so glad i was talked out of that one but hampton needs to go sooner rather than later. He and ottens get their turn to beat up on brisbane next week though so might give them a another week yet maybe keep both for coverage until that final bye? Loopholed rocky and really hoping thats not going to be yet another burnt injury trade. Next week's games are just normal 22 v 22 are they? Only have 1 player from both teams, spp so hoping so as oppenent is facing a donut in ruck with witts and at 3-3 i need to start getting some wins together.

Fuck you NEWMAN

2269 for best result for year, heroes were new recruit captain rocky and surprise inclusion Newman. Of course Rocky celebrated by getting injured but hopefully just a 2 weeker with bye, can't see beams coming in next week with his history so all good. Should also mean Barret and Mcclugage play . Butler and Parsons the let downs.

2183 for me. Thought that might've been enough to creep up the rankings a little but it went the other way - dropped me back 135 spots to 1434 overall.

Should've been 2288 with Newman on the field over Stewart - brain fade there - I normally always put a preferable EMG on the field just in case in these situations. That would've been handy to say the least. Doiii

Heroes - JPK finally bouncing back, Yeo IN was well timed, Danger putting up a decent C score for me, Titchell, Steele (quietly been a great value pick) and my big 3 down back - Docherty, Laird and Adams!

Got to put Newman in too actually - even though his score was wasted, locked on my bench - I can't remember another rookie ever getting a late call up and pumping out a 151! Jumped $60k as a result and now hopefully holds a spot in a team on the up. Behave yourself Horse! We might have a bargain D6 here...

Villains - JJ, Selwood, Dahlhaus, Butler
(Pendles avoids the villains list under the circumstances - just happy he played!)

If you rolled the dice like a genius and started with Witts (like we did) you would have been mad not to roll with Nank for cover - through the byes at least. Anyone who cops a donut for Witts deserves it

On reassessment, it's not Newnan's fault. It's that bloody Sydney match committee.

Still have him, but on bench.

After back to back sub 2000, I finally managed a decent score of 2,190. Traded out both my crow rooks for Berry and Adams. Had the E on Berry and was happy enough to take his 71, so put Newman on field. I did have the C on him Sat night, but thought best to move it to Eddy, in case Newman was a late in, so got lucky with his huge score. Had Zorko as VC & took that. Strange spread of scoring for me. 4 tonnes down back, 3 in the middle, 2 in the ruck and 0 up front. Butler and WHE on the chopping block this week due to BE. Or Beams is also in the mix. Just checked my bye structure and have 12 missing in R11, so Beam to Yeo this week would help that. Not keen on paying top dollar for anyone, but it looks like Yeo will be battling it out for the #1 forward this year. If this week end up being Butler and Beams out, the following week is looking like WHE for Stewart, which mirrors my 1st trade of the season of Stewart out for WHE

2138 won 6/8 leagues just, hope Newman continues to tick over although I had him on the bench. Now start unloading deadwood in prep for bye rounds.
