  1. 1,888 (before scaling)/Macrae/was 10,780

    Hoping to move back into the top 10k. Happy with my score and winning all 10 leagues, considering I only had 18 playing with Parish out and to have Butters and Teakle also to go down. It was nice to finally nail a captaincy choice after a few rough ones, with Macrae pumping out a 150+ and big scores from Mills, Parker & Dawson.

    Now to figure out who to trade Butters to!

  2. 1765 / Miller / was 1673

    Bit of a nightmare, but wouldn’t be alone – that’s Supercoach !

    Had Butters, Preuss and Teakle. And will have to move on Gawn this week.

  5. 1904 / Laird / Up I hope , would love to crack 10K.

    10 from 10 League wins.. Yew !

    Averaged 1915 for the Byes with scores of 1935 . 1905 and 1904.

    Some pretty strict planning helped me field at least 18 each week even with the carnage.

    I was 18K before the byes and will hopefully scrape into the top 10K after this week. ( I will let you know when SC opens )

    Pretty happy to be off the bottom of a few leagues as well. A few more good weeks and I’m a slim chance to make finals too.

    Now what to do with Butters ? I can see a poll coming on for this one.

    I did I say I love Dawson 😉

  6. 1690/Miller/Was 8k, now 11k

    Was looking ok until today’s crew rocked around with a substantially sub par performance from Miller, Witts and Keays. Add into the mix ordinary efforts from Cripps, Merrett, Short and the injuries to Butters and Teakle make a rough week.

    As is usual service, the Techie did better at 1836, but suffered from similar problems.

  7. 1974/Mills/2130
    Absolutely thrilled with how my team has gone through the byes! Gone from 8176 before the first bye to 2130, with scores of 2031, 1891 and 1974. A total of 5896 averaging 1965!

    This week had some poor performances from Blakey, Houston, Witts, Crisp, Short and Butters being all below 85. However Soligo was a ripper for me as a rookie with an 88.
    Forward line firing with all above 110 except for Butters, then everywhere else was up and down. Having my 2nd best player as VC also really helped.

    Full premo team with 10 trades and 2 boosts left, has me contemplating whether to upgrade or loophole premos

  8. 1694/Mills/17k

    Was able to weather Parish injured, Khamis, Rosas and Clark out however Butters, Teakle, Preuss and Angwin combining for 128 was a death sentence. Ridley and Dale ass didn’t help either.

    Yowza.

  9. 1826 / Miller / 4,778

    Like many coaches, having Preuss & Butters sucked, as well as lower than expected scores from Witts, Short, Cripps & Merrett and an ordinary captain choice all equalled not a great result with 5/10 wins. The only week I don’t put the VC or C on Macrae hurts. Somehow still managed to move up 85 places but falling further behind in most leagues. Glad to see the end of the byes.

  10. 2021 / Mills / 94. Into the top 100 at last!

    Nailed the trades this week. I was premo with butters on bench so I went hard by cutting butters, Ridley, crisp and Trac for mills, laird, Stewart and rookie. Down to 5 trades, but team could not be any better so hoping for some luck to avoid any carnage…

  11. 1740/Miller/20k/ 5 out 7 league wins though.
    My biggest problem with the byes was planning for players who could play to actually play.
    I even had 22 players on ground but had to drop scores of Preuss, Teakle, Clarke x 2
    Twice during the byes my VC scored more than my C
    I have 8 trades left and no boosts

  12. 1786/Witts/4323 – dropped 495 spots.

    Witts as captain was a disaster.

    Happy overall for the byes, went up around 1387 spots from 5710 to 4323 but had to trade hard to get there.

    Only 5 trades left and one will have to be used for Butters. I doubt 4 trades will be enough in the run home.

  17. 1972/Mills/664 , up 471

    Happy to be back in the top 1k but am afraid of any carnage ahead.

    4 trades left but have Preuss and Butters so the latter will become Parker this week and I’ll be stuck with Lipinski and Jed Anderson at M8/F6 for the rest of the season with English/Witts/Preuss as my rucks (have Teakle so can upgrade M8/F6 come finals perhaps).
