🎯 My Score 8.7

Narrowly missed a PB
6 raiders players. Highest score of 2.02 for a Raider - dragon
Wish I’d taken the time to think of a player who accumulated less games but I thought he small number of games for us would result in a better score :(

Spoilers for yersterday:

My unicorn for the 200 game Tiger was Brett Hodgson. Very happy with that.

Was also pleased with a brain for Best for 200 games and 75+ tries.

Despite being Raiders today looks hard on some of those stats! Going to have to pick some prolific players for a chance at debut tries and 3 game streak. Don’t recall specific cases to hit

You’d be able to double down with Colin best today
My memory of him was a very streaky try scorer even with the dragons
Certain he’d have a 3 game streak

As expected I bombed all over the place. Got two wizards, Raider-Weyman for a guy who dropped a final and 2000-2005 for a fullback favourite.

Be interested in the low scorers for RaidersDragons. I must have checked 10 of the 19 and all over 4 I think.

A few “score on debut” candidates today. Amos Roberts scored 20 something points on debut scoring tries and kicking a stack goals for the Dragons from memory. Joshy Miller scored a double on debut and played for both clubs. Rapa scored 5 tries in his first 5 games for the Titans. Cody Ramsay scored a double on debut against us.

The Raider/Dragon I went for in the middle square was David Howell for a tidy 1.39. Lots of candidates though.

J.McCrone, J.Dugan, S.Woolford, L.Priddis, S.Williams, L.Withers, C.Best, N.Costigan, B.Goodwin, J.Thompson, B.Harrison, probably a few more.

I got a 2.02 for one game wonder Matt Bickerstaff
Edit: just saw on a group chat a mate of mine had Bronx Goodwin in that spot and it got the 0.81 lowest score available.

I do my grid first thing in the morning... no google, no RLP, all above board. I land where i land

But after that, time permitting i hit RLP try and find some answers, which admittedly has given me great off the cuff answers to grids days ahead,
i've gotten a lot of low scores on names ive found post first grid that have come into play 3-4 grids from that date... but to be perfectly clear, i dont consider my 2.9 grid above to be legit. It's 1000% a chet grid

My mate who played it is a Saints fan and we used to text back and forth about what a **** **** he was :lol:
I was equally jealous and angry that i didnt get that. Right in the zone of players i thought id find

Edit: i mean i've played Brad Cross 3 times now and id be lying if i said i remembered him, but a mate played him for 0.2 and i was so impressive ive played him multiple times since (Willie Ratson (Raston) i think is my best pull so far)

I pulled Brad Cross today for the try on debut, Weymans teammate

I remember him looking semi decent in his debut vs Parra, then within 3 games he was spat into the NRL wilderness

Brett Finch fit a lot of today's categories. Debuted as a teen, played for 4 clubs, premiership winner, played for Parra, Krisnan Inu teammate. Could have used him in 6/9 squares today I think

Interesting to know if he counts for that, given his premiership was stripped for cap breaches
so is not actually a premiership winner

Stuck for options for someone who played for both the Cowboys and Storm outside of Jordan McClean and Tariq Sims. Apparently there's plenty of options but I can't think of any others off the top of my head. Shame, because it was a big score for that square.

Didn't realise any of them played for both. I only remember O'Neill, Drinkwater, Hampton, Kostjasyn at the Cowboys. I was sure Kostjasyn played at the Knights as well, but according to RLP he didn't.
