There’s a FANTASTIC ex-Raider that fits the NQ-Storm square (0.85 pts), but you’ll have to go a long way back in time…

Ooft, took me a while to find him. I assume he missed the 1994 GF due to suspension?

That’s right. He was certainly no stranger to judiciary visits.

The tackle he was sent for was awful too... he and Larson would be sharing a cell if they committed those tackled in 2023 :lol:

Good grid today!

Penrith cross sectioned with Nigel Plum teammates
That's 5 squares right in my wheelhouse. The others seem not to difficult although the 20+ games no try streak is very random, could easily come undone there so going to play it as a safe as i can on that.

Yeah, its one of those things where the more you play, the easier it gets because there is always a dude or two from a recent grid that you can tap back in on.
And if they're good scorers, you can start to cook a little
And im getting much quicker with it too. Although maybe sacrificing some lower scores.

Brad Cross and Harry Siejka are two 0.02's that i've played multiple times each now

Shoehorned a personal best of SEVEN raiders into today’s grid!

Unfortunately, I think that was reflective of the less than elite categories of “100+ career losses” and “Nigel Plum’s team mate” today.

Not like you’d be able to get any (or many) into “premiership winners”, hashtag sad face

Yeah I find Drury Low, Arana Taumata and oddly enough Israel Folau are consistently low scorers. Jason Smith has come in handy also

The run comes to an end. Bust city :(

Missed a tigers player with 4+ tries
Went back to the well on the player I used for Tigers 3+ hatricks a week or so ago, assuming a guy that prolific and who played in a lot of very good teams must have jagged 4 in a game once, played it confidently too… no bueno

Bombed out today. For a Denan Kemp team mate who scored 4 tries I went with big Manu Vatuvei. You'd think scoring 152 meat pies in his career he'd have a 4 in there somewhere but alas...

Couldn't think of anyone who's scored 4 tries but played less than 50 games other than Denan Kemp himself, who I'd already stupidly used... ah well.

That's a good list. Haha Pomeroy... him and David Simmons used to absolutely destroy us every time we played them.

I mean, Inglis, Benji, and Shaun Johnson did too, but they were elite talent. Shame we were their favourite b***** compared to all the other teams, but still.

I can't cop Pomeroy and Simmons though. Fair dinkum had spiders on them

I bombed out today on Tigers player with 4+ tries... went with Lote Tuqiri. Was cetain he must gotten a 4 bagger in his time somewhere.
Nope...

My grid was:

Sonny Fai... Warrior/Under 50 games (RIP)
Joel Moon... Warrior/Kemp
Pita Godinet... Warrior/Tiger
Jordan Adkins... 4+ tries/Under 50 games (he did it on debut! but was a big score 9+)
K-Hunt... 4+ tries/Kemp... rough score! 17.02. Went super safe and paid the price
Lote Tuqiri... 4+ tries/Tigers... BUST, was sure he must have scored 4 tries in a game. Apparently not. Played him for Tigers/3x hatricks about a week ago... sigh
Blake Mozer... Bronco/Under 50 games... debuted this year. Nice find
Jharal Yow-Yeh... Kemp/Bronco... man he was special before that horrific injury. Could have be an all time great imo.
James Gavet... Broncos/Tiger

I'm stuffed figuring out who scored 4+ tries for the Tigers. I tried re-doing it and tried Tuqiri, Pat Richards, James Tedesco, Taniela Tuiaki, David Nofoluma, Chris Lawrence. All wrong. I'm sure they got hat tricks but no 4's apparently. No idea who else is a candidate for that off the top of my head. Apparently there's 7 options!
