I managed to sneak in the RLFans play-offs with a scrawpy win at weekend. I'm not going any further though Im pretty sure of that!
I'm number 1 seed going into the last round of games in the Jets league I'm in as well.

Also, the Jets have suspended Sal Alosi (the complete and utter bell-end who tripped the Dolphins player) for the rest of the season and fined him $25,000.

Beat me. What an awful match-up.

I managed to knock myself out of both play-offs with shocking weeks in both leagues

Meh, good luck to all that are in both play-offs

Woeful wasn't it?? I've been pretty poo the past few weeks mainly due to my receivers not catching balls and my QB (Kyle Orton) playing even worse than Mark Sanchez!!

I really enjoyed the 16 team league this year. Alot more competitive and good when you find a gem.

Yeah the 16 team format is a lot better. Arian Foster has been an awesome pickup. He was on my bench first week when he go 40 odd points would have had a 10-4 record if he was picked! How come Boothstown Bolts (8-6) have the second playoff bye when I have a better record (9-5)?

Managed to get a bye in both leagues im in.

#1 in RLFans and #2 in my team's league, despite me being on a 4 game losing streak.

Get involved, Mark

I sort of get where your coming from with the thinking that a 16 team league is better but I personally didn't think that much of it. Picking up players was like throwing a dart with a blindfold on. You just have to look at the type of players people had to resort to starting in the hope of them picking up a point. I also thought 4 points for a passing TD was wrong. If it's worth 6 on the ground or to a WR then it should be the same for the QB. Would quite like to see us add PPR to it next season.

You came 2nd in your group.

I'm glad I finally secured the playoff spot, was getting worried after loosing the last 3.

Now I just have to decide which D's going to do better GB at The Patriots or Indy against The Jags.
