ABANDONED until round 2

There's only 12 hours to go and there's no way 18 people are getting in on time. Guys like Brumby and Ripper will be asleep, it just wont work.
Last thing we want is a messy start like handing out 4 points to those who didn't compete while those who did may only chalk up 2 or 3 points.
Bad luck to those who thought their selections through, not a disaster but certainly a shame given we had so much time to be prepared.
The lines need to be out on Monday, or Tuesday at the very latest to give time to ponder and post. Remember some rounds start on a Thursday.

Massive apologies for the delay, had a personal emergency from about 2pm onwards yesterday. Not a disaster but definitely a shame and definitely my fault.

I'll put the lines up on Monday night.

 

[ashley bach]

team lists are Tuesday at 4pm, probably good to do it right after that

Yup good to look at the team lists, but you can wait for them anyway if you want.

The more time there is for indulging in lines the better

Alternate option, just abandon the first two games? Does it affect anything if we play a 6 game round to start?

We can do this if everyone is awake. Given the lines have been out for a couple of days and matches are a few days away it should work.

Everyone involved tag one other person who you suspect might not be up to the play with what's happening.
If Cribbertopia gets the other thread up today and the word gets around it'll work.

Who would've thought Manly could be so strong without Morgan Harper.

Shame that league has been run by idiots for much of its existence as it should be so much bigger than it is today

American football is too slow and rugby is too technical

League is contact football for the masses

Why aren't you playing in the comp mate, you're one of the most regular posters here. It's not too late to join in.

I’d finish last by tipping the Rabbits every week

That's something freakish from Joey Manu

hahah I more meant that posting the lines after the team lists drop make them potentially more accurate

They don't change the lines if something funky happens with the line ups, the odds just change.

Really? I could’ve sworn they fluctuated after team lists are released. Like for example, if we have the lines on Monday, then a star player is injured etc, surely the line changes to reflect that

Looks like Spencer Leinu pulled a Harbhajan Singh.

The Boncs 0 from 1.

It's a beautiful world we live in.

Ezra is like the least offensive broncos player ever too. Leinu must get a few games for this?

Nah once they release the lines it's usually set. You just sometimes see a line paying 1.70 or whatever.

You can always check the "pick your own line" section to get something closer to evens in those rare times.

I did this for a living lol, you can trust me.

Bubble’s burst. Too many psychological scars from last year and the aging half back another year older. Will struggle to make the eight

Still the clear-cut 2nd favs by a distance though.

I really don't think I'll be able to watch Broncos game this year,
I despise Walsh too much to put up with the commentator gagging over him every 2 seconds.

Teddy was 5x the player Walsh was tonight, and he barely got mentioned until the end and even then it was mostly in comparison to Walsh and the hype about Walsh in the lead up.
I've never legitimately wished for a career ending injury as much as I do with this little ****.
