Did you end up getting the 1k in week 1?
I had O'Neill as well, but as he didn't step on the field he should automatically drop out for your lock reserve. Fortunately, mine is Wilhelm Steenkamp so I might get some points there.
Adam Thomson had an even better week, scored a try and was busy, glad I bought him in for Phil Waugh

The few pepole who didn't have Ben Alexander will go backwards this week. 50 points for a prop is insane- basically carried my side this week with Sivi and Poki. Slowly inching up the leaderboard after a slow start, into the top 2000 now. This is a marathon not a sprint and I am still quite confident of winning the ten grand. Have already made some lavish purchases actually, so I'd better fucking win or I may have to return a few things to my exotic wildlife dealer.
Anyone know what happens when one bloke doesn't play, and your benched replacement scores negative points? I'm happy for the auto-sub not to happen if you get my drift... Wilhemn Steenkamp on the bench with -9, I'd prefer Kevin O'Neill's 0!
There's an elephant in the room this weekend, bloody Cheetahs and Lions like to put 70 points on each other with tackling more of a guideline than a rule.

That's gold Baba. I had a disappointing week this time round, apart from Thompson, Poki and Sivivatu.
Yeah but both sides look totally different this year so i have no idea what they will do.
And Qwerty I would wait another week before using your WC. Three sides have the bye this week (good sides at that), and I would want to be choosing from as many players as I could. You could make wholesale changes this week, but then have to change again when Bulls, Tahs and Reds players return. Next week only the Brumbies have the bye so you have many more options.

I fluked 441 points this week, a great result really. Totally undeserved, too. That got me 420 points for the round, and 219 overall.
Adam Thomson on 67 (!!!) and Kade Poki on 68 are what did it for me, plus Ben Alexander on 54. Sivi, my captain, managed to score 35 (so 70 when doubled) despite his 4 stupid errors and giving away 1 penalty.
The rest of my team was pretty damn poor, but Sykes got 25, Genia got 20, J'OC 22 and the Duck 27 to give me a decent enough score in the end. How the hell Quade Cooper kicked 26 points yet only scored 16 is bloody impressive. That's what happens when you miss 6 tackles I guess. Quade is really a luxury you can't afford in this game whenever he is required to tackle - which is every freaking game.
With both Cooper and TPN needed to be traded this week (as I sub Genia for Cowan), I'll be rolling in dough to do some choice transfers. As Moses said, maybe some Cheetahs and Lions look tasty...
edit: I'll probably have to sell Pocock as well, leaving a lot of money free. But only 4 transfers, and I want one of those to be AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper), who I think will struggle to score many vs the Saders. Also means I am stuck with the Duck. I really didn't think that through...

Considering buying up some 'Saders: Carter, Read and SBW, plus Bismarck at hooker. Pat Lambie from the Sharks (incorrectly listed as an outside back!), though, could be a great buy ahead of SBW. Pat Lambie may actually be one of the buys of the round, as the Sharks should destroy the Rebels next week. JP Pietersen could be good value at $172k as well. Keegan Daniel could also be a good buy, assuming he starts. Hmmm.
