Could any mods advise if NTThunder ban can be lifted? He's reaching out on twitter?
The ban will end when his warning points return under the 300 point threshold. A normal warning is 100 poits with an expiry of 1 month. The LG team can't see the member profile once a ban comes into effective. Only Jay has those powers.

Two last quarter observations:

1) Get Rankine on the field. 10 mins on the bench for your best player is crazy!

2) Surely Stewart can't go two last quarters in a row without touching the footy?

Edit - Rankine finally came back on and Stewart touched the ball a couple of times. Huge.

My captain. :love:

4/581
Played: J Dunkley (C), D Zorko, M Gawn and C Oliver
Yet to play:
Saturday: M Bontempelli (Jackson as coverage), H Sheezel, Z Fisher, B Grundy, I Heeney, H Young, N Daicos, S Flanders, T Miller, T Green, J Caldwell (debut), T Stewart and Martin
Sunday: J Steele, Z Butters, D Houston, S Walsh and D Moore

Is it still best 18 and can I drop Gawn?:ROFLMAO:
17/1865
Decided to reverse Daniel and Fyfe to Caldwell and Payne which involved fielding Jackson and thus losing a potential 55 points as I was too scared to be left with 2 trades.
Steele, Butters, Houston, Walsh and Moore to go tomorrow to hopefully push 2350.

19/ 2069 with Daicos C…
Strange round….some brilliant rookie scores led by Draper (111)..Friejah (79) …
traded Oliver out Friday night which hurt watching his score… felt better once I selected Richards for his debut 116…
Bont was Bont .. amazing player whom when I’ll or injured always fires…
Several premiums whom didn’t go well this round that I don’t have, so potentially get a big rise In rankings this week…
Greens 117 on the bench…hoping Butters or Walsh have some horrible chicken tonight and dont turn up tomorrow so I can take the emergency score…
projected 2,382 which looks good this week…
Houston, Butters and Walsh to come

Dunkley E 143 :cool:
Zorko VC 115 :confused:
Gawn E 79 :cry:

Dunkley was awesome again tonight making it consecutive scores of 140+. Zorko scored alright but obviously wanted more as he was the VC. Wanted to VC Dunks but it was too hard to look past Zorko’s Gabba form and good matchup. Don’t really love any of the captain options this week but I won’t be taking a 116. Gawn poor tonight. McInerney is so good at restricting opposition rucks from a SC perspective. Taking his E score. Edit: After falling down to 79 I might not take it.

16 players tomorrow. Bont, Grundy, Daicos, LDU, Flanders, Heeney, Ryan, Sheezel, Merrett, Serong, Rankine, Holmes, Dale, Fisher, Jackson, and Green. C is on Daicos for now but Bont and Merrett are also in consideration.
18/1973 Daicos
Bont 157 :eek:
Rankine 121 :D
Green 117 :D
Daicos C 116x2 :confused:
Ryan 116 :)
Flanders 114 :confused:
Holmes 110 :)
Sheezel 103 :confused:
Dale 88 :(
Heeney 85 :cry:
Serong 85 :cry:
Fisher E 83 :unsure:
Grundy 82 :cry:
Merrett 78 :sick:
LDU 72 :sick:
Jackson 72 :cry:

Houston, Butters, Curnow, and Rozee to come.

Bont terrific. Had the captain on him early in the week until the injury news surfaced. Was still contemplating it until 10 minutes before the bounce I decided I’d leave it on Daicos. Rankine great. Kind of disappointed though because his first half was insane and he racked up a lot of negative acts. Green great again this week. Was looking like reverting back to his 80s after that first quarter. Daicos finished with a solid score. Was looking poor for most of the game but had a 30 point passage of play in the last quarter. Ryan looked back to his old ways.

Flanders completely stopped in the second half after a 90+ point first half. Holmes good. Very happy to own this guy. Would like him to be moved back in the middle though, played almost exclusively at HB today. Sheezel solid enough. Dale finished off strong thankfully, wasn’t looking good early. Heeney and Serong both had poor games. Fisher was looking good until he was subbed (apparently tactically). Still had to take the E score though with Dowling (who ended up scoring 57) the alternative. Grundy disappointing. Merrett and LDU both appalling in their second games for my side. Jackson was poor. Ended up fielding Jackson over Gawn’s 79 for a -7 return.

Believe I’m still tracking ok-ish. Lots reverting back to mean with low scores today after some huge ones in recent weeks which was to be expected really. Ended up going Sullivan and Freijah to Rozee and Hall (102k M/F) and going down to 2 trades. In hindsight I probably should’ve gone for Humphries as the rookie instead. Slightly worse for structure and worse looping capabilities but more chance of being a warm body.
