Mini has finally delivered me his first try of the season (metre-maker - 268m). The world's best fullback of the last 5 years is on his way back.

Woohoo, Brenton Bowen is 8th in try scoring!
D'oh, Brenton Bowen in 1st in MIA scorers. Bastard.

I reckon a try should make a player immune from a mia penalty.

I think my side may be in for it's first loss of the season against the Lismore Vikings. Troy Thompson, Craig Gower and Tonie Carroll are all either in doubt or ruled out so it will be a miracle if I scrape through this match with a win.

One positive is that the Vikings have the most Canberra players in their lineup in the whole competition, that can only help me I guess :lol:

Every Friday when I try to lodge my team the website is down... this is getting ridiculous... this week and last week now... although I did manage to snap my losing streak after not being able to tinker with the side so there's probably a lesson in that.

I'm managing 3 teams in different leagues this season. My best team won last weekend's round 70-0. I've scored 336 points (2nd best) for the season, but have conceded 257 (the most), and am sitting at 9th in the league, with 3 wins, 5 losses, and a draw. It's a bit frustrating having such a gun team (how does Kidley/Cronk in the halves sound?), and being out of the 8.

Oh well, at least i've moved up to 4th in the GH Premiership.

No, you haven't. You've got Lyon and Simpson in your lineup.
