Bargain Ruck 2011

Puopolo is now Stefan Martin and all my trades are done. I am taking a hit this week with two zeroes because of Higgins and Nick Riewoldt. I have no chance of holding my 502 ranking but am hoping in the coming weeks I can build it back up and keep charging forward.

Gutsy move but makes those last few weeks all the more exciting and tense :o. Going to be hard to keep assaulting the overall but lets hope for no more injury/suspension drama :D. I'm hoping I don't have to burn more trades :P.

*Peace Out Pplz.

It was faqr more beneficial to upgrade a back than a forward in light of Higgins' injury. I still had Riewoldt to cover the forwards as well as Mzungu and Issac Smith whereas the backs only had Jacobs, Puopolo and Tahlia. If I can get around 1950 this week I will be happy then it will be back to regular DT'ing for the rest of the year and hopefully I can climb back then

Well I am 2201 going into the last match with Talia to add to that. I got lucky that there were two 171's, three scores over 144 and eleven scores over 100 overall. I am very happy with this since I had two zeroes and pretty much all my reserves playing. I am confident I will still drop in overall ranking but 2200+ with only 20 players makes me very happy.

*Edit* 2256 after Talia's subbing. I am really happy about that but early reports say there is a lot of people with socres bigger than mine so my 502 ranking will fall considerably I feel. Now after this round I think I am right for the rest of the season. Shiels seems to have tired so Swallow will come back onto the field for the week after next. Boyd has the bye next week so I will still need Shiels on the ground. Hopefully Higgins is good to go then as well but there are a few reports he is done for the season.

I can't repeat what I said when I saw I dropped to 1157 but rest assured it wasn't from happy surprise. I thought I may hold onto a top-1000 position but unluckily not. In the next few weeks I will try to build back to where I was but I won't be holding my breath.

Ouch, pretty disappointing. I am sure you can make some of it back up and finish top 1k!!!!!!!!

2203. Good score but it was due to individual scores rather than a team effort. Deledio, Swan, Johnson and Goodes scored highly enough to suppliment the poor scors from Nahas, Cox and pretty much the rest of the team.

I am interested to see now if I go up or down in the overall ratings.

2330 today. Pretty happy to be consistant. Averaging 2123.3 for the season so I feel I am having a pretty good season with Bargain Ruck this year.

Great score as many found it to be a good scoring week.

Made any progress getting back into top 1k nick? I barely moved up at 6,500 so guessing not much luck up front :P.

*Peace Out Pplz.

I'm at 1192 right now. Hoping to gain the spots in the next few weeks.

nick1408 · August 21, 2011, 08:34:50 PM

2042 this week. Just snuck accross the 2000+ line. Will drop huge in overall but so be it. I have had a good season thus far and really didn't expect to do this well.

plugz19 · August 21, 2011, 09:01:46 PM

maybe needed a cox/mumford/leuenberger/jacobs in the rucks to boost your score ;)

nick1408 · August 21, 2011, 11:29:12 PM

I had Cox and Petrie. Could have boosed it with Lobbe who was on my bench but why would I pick Lobbe ahead of Petrie? Dropped 300ish spots to 1500ish.

2116 this week. Pretty happy with that. Should host on to my overall position and into a grand final in my league.
