Geez SJ has caused some carnage. Apart from overall scores, in my H2h cash comp at work, we had the following: – after dominating all season, I looked no chance to make the GF after Friday night. We only 4 players different and my CHN + Moses was behind his one player Gutho. So at that point it was Barnett + AFB v 9 + Jurbo + JFH + SJ. Going into today I needed SJ to score less than 13 and after he copped Kerr as AE I am currently sitting with a one point lead pre final updates.… Read more »
Worse mate – I’m the ‘boss’. It’s one of those embarrassing ones where we’ve got a trophy with the H2H winner and runner up for the past say 8 years. I think I’ve been in 6 or 7 GFs going into this year. Lots of good teams I just seem to get lucky come semi final time although that could run out this week (not that I mind).
A couple of them read this forum and have had the opposite luck – one poor bugger cannot take a trick.

I didn’t watch the game. Was Matto benched late because the game was done?
Hard to say. He wasn’t injured and he didn’t look particularly gassed but they were 10 in front at the time from memory. Wasn’t happy! Another player I just can’t seem to get the timing right on
Think I’ve actually only played him twice the whole year for nothing over 60-odd. Seem to miss AFBs big ones too, always swap in/out JFH and AFB incorrectly.
Saving grace is that I’ve been getting the backs and captains right for most of the year.
Can’t get them all right. We’ve obviously got more than most to be where we are.
Luckiest ones for me were in the first bye round – Liam Martin was a late in for a sick Kikau and scored something like 85 as a huge POD and I also brought in Cade Cust. He scored something like 75 and went on to make a stack of $$
I was filthy that weekend with the Martin thing. Knew he wasn’t a chance to play, everyone being stupid’y hopeful that some miracle would occur and he’d play…hahaha
As you can imagine I was the opposite! But then other things went against me that same weekend in the latter games. I remember Dylan Walker tanked badly which sucked
Came off at 65. Imagine he could’ve come back on with their last interchange if needed but the Tigers scored twice in a couple of minutes after he left the field, game was over.
I’ve just realised some poor genius benched Turbo after shaking a Magic 8 Ball and probably thought they’d stolen this weekend to only have it become an AE1 from SJ.
+ 1 Tackle
+ 1 Missed tackle
– 2 in TB’s
– 26 H8 / 5 HU turned into 20 H8 / 10 HU
– 3 OL’s turned into 3 Effective offloads (+6)
While watching the game i specifically remember thinking they missed atleast 2 TB’s but he has lost 1 in total. The loss of H8 is the main point killer though.
Wow, so close. I certainly wasn’t expecting to make ground on you after Thurs and Friday night. Funny game.
The trades help but as we know they are no guarantee. Would be great if all of us on here near the top could finish top 10 but that can’t be the case unfortunately.
3 of the top 10 and less than half in the rest of the top 10 doose said on Friday. Im on 1141 and think my top 10 hopes are gone but thought that last week and then after the lockout, I only went down 1 spot.

reading a few on facebook usually under the post titled F SJ or similar
A work H2H cash league. Where do I sign up. Stealing from your colleagues Doose. I presume they have no idea you are good at this game.

I saw him come off the field late in the game, didn’t look like there was anything wrong with him, so could quite possibly have been that

Cheers guys. He’s good for a ton next week it seems.
What did you score Bob?
1172. Rough day
Think you will hold around your current rank. You QLD based Bob?
I’m a Brisbane boy who spends half the year in Chandigarh, India for work.
IT?
Golf Professional. I run a golf travel business and do some coaching.
Hope you can make it to the Chandigarh SuperCoach meet up!
For real though have you ever seen a Kabaddi match? I am fascinated by it.
Haha. Only kids in the park. It’s a funny old game that’s for sure. The poor buggers never discovered rugby league.
A friend of mine was in India last year to host the season on TV. Crazy sport!

Oh Turbo.
50% of his points are gone. Im outraged.
I’ve just realised some poor genius benched Turbo after shaking a Magic 8 Ball and probably thought they’d stolen this weekend to only have it become an AE1 from SJ.
What a roller coaster that would have been.
On balance I’ll take those. And Barnett up to 125!
Yes he received Matautia’s stripped TA.
So he should have!
Any idea why Taupau lost so many points? Up against him in a H2H so loving that score

Teddy with not nearly as many as some thought he’d get. What were we hoping for?
Teddy’s changes in points:
+ 1 Tackle
+ 1 Missed tackle
– 2 in TB’s
– 26 H8 / 5 HU turned into 20 H8 / 10 HU
– 3 OL’s turned into 3 Effective offloads (+6)
While watching the game i specifically remember thinking they missed atleast 2 TB’s but he has lost 1 in total. The loss of H8 is the main point killer though.
Cheers Bill
I thought he would finish about 90
How is everyone post updates? I’m up to 1208
1087. I’m hoping this is all a nightmare and i wake up to a 1300.
1103
Rough week 😕
1172. 25 points ahead of you in overall by my calculations and 5 ahead of Paddy. With 2 trades left its advantage Doose. It’s Milf or bust for me.
Wow, so close. I certainly wasn’t expecting to make ground on you after Thurs and Friday night. Funny game.
The trades help but as we know they are no guarantee. Would be great if all of us on here near the top could finish top 10 but that can’t be the case unfortunately.
Really hard week to know what par is. I don’t think I’ve gone backwards. Might be room for all of us in the top 10 thanks to Murray POD.
1165 now.
Might get a slight green of about 5 places or so at best.
i think i was 1205 upto 1230 now
1197 from 21st
Doose said the team in 26th had Papen (no turbo) Murray and no Moses . that’s a top 10 jump right there.
Is Murray a pod? I thought he was in 80 % of teams
3 of the top 10 and less than half in the rest of the top 10 doose said on Friday. Im on 1141 and think my top 10 hopes are gone but thought that last week and then after the lockout, I only went down 1 spot.
That’s surprising to me re Murray.
You are still in with a good shot. Better than me with a trade and more depth and so few points in it
But it’s hard at this point, this close to the top 10, not to play the ‘what if’ game
I console myself that it’s the same for each and every serious player
1320
25 in front with my opponent’s updates to Nikora, Matto and Kerr to come. Reckon I can hold on?
All 17 of you and your opponents players could still change score so its a bit hard to truly gauge. Those 3 will certainly not go up 25 though.
Any ideas on the final updates before end of the round for the sunday games.
–
If you mean when they’ll be updated it’s usually around 11 on Monday
super close H2H match this week was down by 14 now up by 3 in updates
me- munster, to’o, matto
him- taupau, xerri, kerr
any expected updates for those?
All out for 1222 C Watson.
Barnett robbed of a line break assist. Ive watched the game 3 times its not even subjective.
I assume you mean for the try he eventually set up.
Did they give it to Lino? If so it’s getting ridiculous isn’t it. Yes, nice pass from Lino but Barnett has plenty to do there
I can’t believe that one.
Is the Canberra vs Sharks game updated yet? I’m down by three in my H2H with Papalii the last POD. Really, really hoping he updates.
Not yet
Its been a few weeks but i finally get to sit and have a coffee and read through the posts 🙂
GL to the top end for the final round and todays updates

Kerr, the gift that keeps on giving 🙁
Noticed a post regarding the footy catchup , i’m working on saturday afternoon but might be able to come down 7-8 , might be too late …..
Il be at the tiges game though so might be able to say a quick hello to fellow SCtalk players somehow
checking in & see i have gone from 1205 at last lockout to 1270 after the last update.
massive swing. still waiting for the downdates to come
Lucky. I went from three point to 5 point behind in my H2H XD
went from down by 14 to up by 16 in H2H
Are scores final gents?
hopefully. just downdated 5 again to 1265
In the case of a H2H tie, will the person who finished higher on the ladder go through to the GF?
higher on the ladder pre finals rd22
