Ivan Cleary says he plans to rest players in Round 20.

Oh no..

Tim Williams into 2nd place. Crazy. I dont see how you would be able to rig this game as its all on real world players but looks almost too crazy to be coincidental. But could be the fairy tale story. Leaves Daily Telegraph and starts own supercoach business and ends up winning 1st place with $50k bonus.

I feel for the guy coming 1st. Brought in turbo. Sat lomax and played nofa. 100 points just in lomax – nofa.

Tim actually sat nofa and played lomax and then copped an ae in the FRF.

Crazy and frustrating game!

Dravid

The guy coming first also sat Lomax last week for his 10… swings and roundabouts!

I wonder if Sanga is looking forward to making the call the Tim if he wins…

JoelMonaghansDog

Anyone know if there are prizes for top 100 or 1000? Or is it just top 10?

Cec Blinkhorn

Just top 10

zenguru8

Yeah nah, but it’s sort of a warm inner glow. Remember when you were a kid and you got to line up first after lunch? It feels like that.

Dravid

They used to give key rings for the top 1000. I’m not sure they do anymore (admittedly its not something I’ve paid attention to seeing I won’t make top 1000).

Going to be a long day waiting for bloody teams to drop.

Sally M

So while we wait for TLT to drop, how many players have you kept from the start of the season?

I’ve retained four for the whole year – Lomax, Williame, Haas and Carrigan

Bluewater Bob

Lomax, Williame, Lolo, Watkins, Carrigan and Cleary.

Dravid

Haas, Carrigan, Musgrove, Cleary, Mann, Lomax and Lemuelu

Haas, Matterson,Lomax, Yeo, Williame and Ponga. Been a funny old season. Been referred to a sprint by loads of people which is bang on for mine.

jettio

Haas, Matto and Hoy if he counts.

Trav80

Carrigan, Haas, Teddy, Wighton & Yeo for me.

On the flip side, the players I traded in who lasted the least (out after only 2 rounds) were Capewell, Talakai and Brimson

kegs kings

Carrigan Musgrove lomax Rudolph

R.Cotter Cheese

Haas, Carrigan, Matto, Lomax, Mann, Ben Turbo & Ponga

AB

Carrigan, Sivo, Taunoa -Brown, Leleisuano,Williame. Only sold Haas last week.

CoG

If Best comes back who drops out . Hoping its not Star

Dravid

I would have thought that Lee was more of a chance of pushing To’a out, but last week they were both named (before Lee pulled out). I’d think he be safe.

Masonic Knights

If Lee is available To’a for sure and To’a may even get rested after being woeful defensively on the weekend. O’Brien hates rubbish defence.

I don't pray to God; I pray to DCE

AFB to Warriors. Done deal.

Dravid

Murray will be switched the edge this week.

Hoffa

Jazz named

Sally M

Still has to pass concussion protocols. Suspect we should know more as squad is trimmed from 21 to 19.

Hoffa

I know, just looking for some good news before the carnage

Sally M

I’ve pencilled one name in my 17 at the moment. Its a good start.

BroncosGirl

Experimental rules trialled this week in Broncos v Cowboys & Warriors v Manly :

Use of the “Six Again” rule for 10 metre infringements.
Handover for kicks into touch rather than a scrum.
Nominated Forwards only in the scrum.
Change in Bunker referral process to reduce stoppages

Sally M

Nominated forwards only in the scrum. Time to name Haas as an outside back and make him a dual FR/CW for next season!

Epitome7

Talakai to retain the edge spot with Wade Graham playing in the halves. Good news for owners.

I don't pray to God; I pray to DCE

Graham loves a short ball too.

Dravid

Strange decision with both Graham and Tracey playing on the left… and neither of them a half back.

Sally M

Broncos: No Fifita or Gamble. Haas named to start

Sally M

Roosters: Crichton lock. Cordner, Tedesco, TKO, Friend all named to return

Sally M

Panthers: No Edwards. Crichton or Kikau

Trade-a-holic

Crichton named for Panthers.

I don't pray to God; I pray to DCE

Crichton is out this week. Rested.

Sally M

Sharks: Dugan, Johnson, Hunt OUT, Talakai (2nd row), Graham (5/8)
Raiders: Bateman, Croker, Williams, Rapana, Papalii, CNK all OUT

Sally M

Tigers: Nofoaluma named to play

Sally M

Sure did!

Sally M

Sea Eagles and Warriors both #1s Turbo and RTS out

Fitzy

Thanks for all the news!

kegs kings

Raiders side wow

kegs kings

I have 18 players named with 2 trades left I think I’m lucky

Dravid

If you can get 17 this week, you’re lucky… going to cause chaos in finals and at the pointy end.

Sally M

I have 20 – a couple of them outside squad named 17. One advantage of not nuffing players out. Can also trade. H2H opponent has 17 so he gets a free look at a VC loop.

Might be worth setting up a partner’s team this week for a crack at high score. Its a bit like a bye round.
