I'm watching the game and the stats at the same time. Its sad but my missus is out of town, so I'm allowed to be pathetic.
You probably deserve to be there next week. Looks like Mannering is out for the season. I had money stored for a final recruit to the backine, but thats been buggered up now.
**** the Warriors . They dropped Lewis Brown to an extended bench, so I trade him out but then he plays and scores 38, while my more expensive recruit scores 27.
dammit, i think that ball from Ennis to put Stagg over the line pretty much seals it for Lurchy
Should have dummied and gone himself, **** you Ennis!!!
Yep. Dream offically over
Silverbacks the better team on the day
Had i selected Frank Pritchard instead of Jermemy Latimore, it would have added 43 points to my total, and giving me a slender 9 point win... Farrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrk!
1ST PRELIM. FINAL
Team Rampage 0 Last week,780
StirlingSilverbaks 0 Last week, 720
2ND PRELIM. FINAL
The Untouchable 0 Last week, 781
The Banks Bandits 0 Last week, 701
There are two big match's this week with the prelim's decided. After a long season it's all on the line for a spot in the GF this week. Can the Silverbacks upset Team Rampage or the Bandits surprise The Untouchables. It's all possible but one would think both the Silverbacks and the Banks Bandits will need to score a seasons best to have any chance.

I smell an upset. Probably not by me though. The Untouchables are looking shaky after their week 1 performance.
But your Silverbacks racked up a pretty solid score that week so you never know. I had two trades left this week and used 1 of them to swap Mannering for Luke Lewis. Not sure what to do with the last trade
The Wolves have rolled on in the losers cup and play the spence softies this week for a spot in the grand final.
I would much rather be playing in the top 8 though

I'm going to have to trade Mannering out too with my last trade, but that will leave almost 100 grand in the bank. I can't think of a better solution given how **** the rest of my backs are. Farrar going back into the centres is a plus but its not enough to go and spend the cash elsewhere.
Another reason why the Untouchables are vulnerable. Mannering out and they have no trades left.
Arr Lurch,I can smell something too and its not an upset. Its the Shiit dribbling out of your posts, clutching straws there. Last week M.Wright got -2 and I still got the top score, he wont do that again. Mannering will be back for the GF so there's not point trading him anyway, seems like a trade of desperation if you ask me.
The Untouchables have finally taken there rightful spot on the ladder.
Careful cupster, I note that the 2 current top teams have flaunted the 1st rule of the GH Premiership......... Neither are named after a suburb of Canberra or Qbn...... Boot them out I say
The Untouchables proudly represent the Higgins area, but due to marketing and legal proceedings the team is only known as The Untouchables.Missy Higgins took management to court as she believed she was the only Higgins that was untouchable.The matter is yet to be finalised in court.
We've already come clean who we represent some time ago.
I would just like to congatulate Team Rampage and wish them luck in the GF this week. I just hope that its not decided by an injury or an unjust send off, may the best team win.
By the way i've been waiting for another shot at you guys since my round 1 and only lose of the season, Game on.
Just so everyone is aware, im thinking of doing things differently next year
Same system or simular but instead of free for all, we'd have a player draft over the off season, where you select your side one by one, all 25 players... No doubling up on a player. If you have a player, no one else will have him. It'd be a 12 team comp though
We'd be on the honour system in terms of recruiting and releasing players. Im not sure how possible it's going to be, but thats what im thinking

You would have look into the different fantasy leagues on the web, some of them do work as a draft system. I've heard nrlceo works that way. I just had a look at the site, it looks like a good set up. They run a 25 round draft to set up the teams and you can pick the amount of teams you want in the comp.

Yea i was going to look into over the off season
I think its a better system, then having everyone doubling up on players. Unfortunately one team from this year's comp will miss out, as the defending champs from 07, the Wanniasa Warriors will be in this comp, after i inexplicitely excused them from this years

Congrats to you too. It'll be a close one.
Capital Punishment wrote:A draft system would be heap better I reckon. Current structure is cool, but with a draft it opens things up a bit more with trades etc...Good plan.
How do trades work in a draft system?? Do you simply swap players from different teams?
As far as I know from playing Fantasy NFL etc, Yeah. You draft your team and if you have Mullen and want Campo, you offer a trade to the team with Campo. If it's accepted you just swap players. The cool thing is, if the trade is rejected you can make counter offers like say Campo and Thaiday for Mullen and Tilse (depending on who has who on their roster). Really comes down to who rates what player the most and less about who can watch the stats trend every week and pounce as soon as a young player starts scoring big.
I would like the draft system but if it's going to be in the weeks after Christmas i won't be around then as i am moving. Don't know what would happen then?
The draft style league would be good, its much more involved then the NRL site. There would have to be a lot of research going into each draft round pick. Does anyone know how it is structured
Are teams seeded, therefore team one picks first every round and so on
Would there be a salary cap, would be very hard to manage in a draft
I really like the idea but gee it will take up a lot of our time, bring it on I say.
(if teams are seeded I for one think that the teams coming 1st and 2nd should get the 1st and 2nd picks for the draft )
ie. I might trade my 1st round and 5th round for you're 2nd and 4th
Which means:
I'd lose my first round pick but then have 2 picks in round 2, and two in round 4, which pending on my valuation of players, might be preferable. I give up top round, to secure quantity of early round picks
You'd get 2 first round picks but then not have a pick in round 2 or 4, but double up again in round 5... so you give up a late round to secure an early round
Congrats knan, you and cuppy definately had the best teams all year and were deserving grand finalists.
As for the comp next year Im dead keen to take part the draft system sounds very interesting, I remember being in the fantasyleague comp a few years ago where you ranked the players in order of who you wanted most and the computer picked the team for you rather than having to pick a player each round.
My favorite forum member is 100%Green. Why? Because anyone who can convince my wife who runs two watch shops and doesnt realy like the Raiders to buy me a limited edition centenary of league Raiders watch is alright in my books.
It's hard god-damn work being a Raiders supporter!
. They dropped Lewis Brown to an extended bench, so I trade him out but then he plays and scores 38, while my more expensive recruit scores 27.

Well done.
