[Rizzah]

Well done @tyrael you've stormed up the ranks!

I went from #387 to #708. Grim.

 

[Rizzah]

Hey Tyrael if you really push top 500 is possible. Dream Big. Go for it. Really really concentrate on your next trades.

The origin period will be key.

Yeah this next round is interesting. To trade Cleary or not. As @Rizzah said, Origin is key. I'm actually sorted for Round 12 without even trading, but I need to have a good look at 13 as well. In the past, Penrith could afford for Cleary to not back up but I don't know if they can do that anymore.

Keeping in the top 1k is hard work, you can see Rizzah yoyo'ing in the ranks. Last year 900s was pretty good scoring, this year it's almost below par.

Case in point this week my score of 940 was ranked 43,000th this week.

 

[BRING DA RUCKUS]

Well done Ruckus
1) 1045 to approx 940 Wrighty. I am ok with getting 940 - I had three roosters on bye so it wasn't my full strength 17 so to get 940 is a good consistent outing.
2) Well done on picking Billy Burns. He looks like a real talent? How did you spot him> What is the story there
3) Got me in Super Coach as well as I errantly brought in an injured couchman and forgot to sub out one Rooster so only had 16 counting.

Bit of fun I enjoyed matching up against you thanks for the posts !!!

Thanks Wrighty you just happened to catch me on a good week

Well Billy Burns was a gamble. I was watching a Sharkies game when Wilton went down with injury and Burns ended up playing okay scored 42

I needed to cash out T Cant and he was cheap - i figured if he scored around the same in 3 games he'd make $100k - and at stretch cover rd12.

Wiltons injury forecast was 2 - 4 weeks so it was a risk and not really one I was confident with but I did it anyways.

I was about to say we should recruit him but then I looked him up and saw he is 26 already. Excellent player. In some ways he won the match.

 

[Wrighty]

Well my Ponga pick up was a disaster. He is playing much better in real life than his points reflect.

 

[Wrighty]

I think no trades for me this week. Unless I cave in and trade Willison to Piakura.
Piakura is an enigma player.

It's a decent trade, you'll make money but isn't there injured players you can use first?

Remarkably I have no injuries in my 21 except Starford. Who I am keeping. If nothing else I can use him to loop.

Does this timing sound right ? I thought Round 12 was SOO?

• Round 13, from Friday, 30 May: SOO Bye Rnd - only 13 on field score
• from late Tuesday, 03 June: Dual Position Player Update Window 2
• Round 14, from Thursday, 05 June: SOO Bye Rnd - only 13 on field score
• Round 16, from Fri, 20 June: SOO Bye Rnd: only 13 on field score
• Round 17, from Thursday, 26 June: SOO Bye Rnd - only 13 on field score

Usually the round before Origin the players selected are not playing for their teams. Hence, round 12 only 13 players scoring.

Then round 13 origin players may or not back up.

Another week, another disaster. 911. Had to play Sullivan, king Togia, Couchman flop/injured, Garrick trash, & ponga has had his last week in my side.

You're having a rough year.

That’s what I thought
But that’s not what those instructions say shall I email them ?

1 - What's New in 2025:
- Classic: The SOO (Big) Bye Round scoring will now apply to Rounds 12, 13, 15, 16, 18 & 19, where the top 13 player scores (subject to auto-emergency placement) will combine for user's round total. This adds three extra rounds on to the 2024 scenario and (hopefully) alleviates some of the SOO-time pressure.

I have been studying Piakura
Can he keep his spot when Gos comes back from a broken arm round 14
Is his change in form permanent or a false dawn

I guess all the cheapies come with risk and there is no slam dunk

 

[Wrighty]

when is the next DPP announcement Rizzah?
I don’t trust the dates I found
If you would be so kind ?
