Did anyone else have Tizzano in their Fantasy team? He was pulled pre match.

A more competent fantasy league would enable you to have bench players for this type of scenario. As long as they fit within your budget.

I hope they address that for next season.

I think they are. The idea was to make the game simple in the first year to get people involved and then theyโ€™ll bring in more rules next year.

Noah Lolesio in big trouble. Stretcher coming on. Not a good week for Wallaby selections.

The fact that the budget is completely irrelevant probably needs addressing too.

Lolesio injury looks really bad

Poor work by the TJ in the lead up to that play too

Tim

Fuck me, has there ever been as boring as the Brumbies?

At least Uru and Bell are still playing.

Looks like he's just jarred his back - compacted spine with the force of the cleanout as he got folded perhaps. He's moving all his limbs as they prepare to place him on the stretcher.

I canโ€™t seem to get my fantasy outside backs right this year. Toole and Potter have been on fire this year so I decided to select them this week. Now they decide to play poorly. ๐Ÿ™„

Haha Iโ€™m literally the same as you at this point.

Canes4life

Brainless option by Potter to kick there. Way too much kicking and mistakes in this game.

Horrible game to watch so far.

Canes4life

Finally the Toole man gets the ball and he scores.

Canes4life

The Force have completely lost the ability to pass the ball out the backline.

Canes4life

Weird by the Brumbies tapping off a penalty twice there when mauling off a lineout is their bread and butter.
