Bully's Boys 2024

[arbel]

Thats a good score considering rookies and no trades, Hopefully you can get to that top 10k

[Mat0369]

We're in the same boat, we can keep our fingers and toes crossed that we don't cop any injuries and ride it out. That was an excellent score for the week

[Bully]

Miller now listed as 1-2 weeks, that's a really good sign & hopefully fit for next week.

[Bully]

Ridley ruined my week, 2380 and lost all my league matches as a result. Down to 14k in the rankings and have lost the double chance in the finals, it's do or die this week, Ridley will probably miss so it's over to Humphries, crossing my fingers and toes that Miller is back otherwise it will be a tall order to scrape in a win in the sudden death elimination finals.

[arbel]

Hopefully Miller is back for you. He was listed as 1-2 so hoping for you it was just 1

[Bully]

With Miller unavailable & Ridley done for the year my hopes of victory this week are effectively over, that's the season done and dusted unfortunately. Pretty average finish, 14k ranking my lowest in 10 years (which includes 5 top 1000 finishes). Looking at where things went wrong, rucks were a mess, forwards were like whacking moles on a weekly basis & the byes too frequent and limiting in terms of selecting the best available. I'll be back next year but I reckon I'm going to completely ignore any early byes and simply go with the player I rate higher. Luke Ryan was also a terrible trade-in but when you have the option of grabbing the top SC scorer you have to bite the bullet.

Best of luck to all those still alive, Arbel has had a great season so hopefully there's one top 1000 finish amongst us.

[arbel]

Thanks Bully. Yeah it sucks with the way this year has gone. With 40 trades thought it would be a bit of an easy time but you hit nail on the head especially with the FWD line minefield.

Humphries and Mannagh playing so some hope a miracle happens for you, pretty much have to go a left field choice for C now. Have seen stranger things

[Mat0369]

It's a rough way for the season to end, but you could strike lighting in a bottle and hit on some big scores with your cover.

[Bully]

2469 was a par week but scraped in a couple of wins, still alive so can't complain. Comben on the bench hurt a little but wasn't available in the warm-up so didn't get a handle on his position. If firmly entrenched in defence then he fills F6 comfortably so it's possible I can eke a win next week. Miller should also be available, I think Ridley can be covered with Humphries, 80 seems ok for D6.

[arbel]

Hanging in there and that's all that matters. Win by 1 or 100 as long as it's a W can keep going

[Bully]

Miller still out, Dowling dropped, I don't even have players to loop anymore, will need some luck this week.

[arbel]

Yeah wasn't good news on the team front for you. Comben had a good game last week but has been sore so hopefully he can get another good score. Against eagles so who knows. So need he and Mannagh to pull through

[Bully]

Not too bad with 2450 but tied in one final against 4th so I'm eliminated courtesy of the ladder positions. Ironically it was Laird who put me in front and was then scaled down, a fitting end to a season replete with scaling inconsistencies, nevermind, I made it to one prelim so there's still a chance to walk away with a league victory.

[arbel]

Yeah still in so that's good ... hope you can get the W

[Mat0369]

Miller back this week, hopefully you have coverage for some of the other injuries floating around
