Well done HJ and thanks for your kind words Picasso. My problem is I do to many transfers and have not patents. Once I calm down and just relax a bit I'm world class.

Cheers Rosie you are awesome

[MissWinnie]

Brilliant as always, Rosie! Thank you so much for all you do for us.

Congrats to HJ with Bongo casting himself as the Comeback Kid - a late charge up the ladder like last year!

I'm a mix of Bongo and Picasso - I'm also impatient to get my team as I would like it, costing me so many points, and resulting in the the mess I got myself into early this season, which I've been struggling to escape. Like Picasso, I'm also a bad forward planner, resulting in more costly transfers! On the rare occasion I think ahead, my thoughtful transfer usually gets injured!

Going to be an exciting end to the season up at the top!

Can Sam put the cat 🐱 amongst the pigeons and surprise the both of them with a late run.

David up to 4th having given Bongo the boot. 🥾
