Has anyone told Bren yet?  Be gentle.

I'm still a bit sceptical as I heard it from a mate. No idea where he got it from.

You mean after your failed attempt at a Fantasy team loses to the mighty Panda's?

Just saw that Bmoz is out injured for a while.... Only matters in Ultimate where I will have to run with BIG Manu Vatuvei for a while. Giddy up!

Bmoz carried you last year against the mighty Ravens from Wales, no chance of that this year pal!

Looks like you won't be promoted from two seperate Leagues this year lad. L2 in 2016 and 2017 in Fantasy and Ultimate

Always back your own horse...or Ravens in this case!

I'm aiming for 2 from 2!

Bmoz news confirmed now, knee surgery out for at least a month

Welcome mate. Did you post on Sportal or around the traps anywhere else?

Yeah, nice work Stu. Both L1 and L2 look very strong.

Big Manu is very decent cover, you will be fine for a few rounds

You'll be right mate, there's another bloke there that looks the spitting image of Brett.

I jumped all the way from L6 to L4 yes!!!!!!!!!!

I'm stoked making it to L3 as well.

That Bin Dipper @Liverpool_Bulldogs was the stand out when I was doing the Leagues. I remember getting a PM from him a week before lockout in 2014 and he'd not played NRL DT/Fantasy before I don't think and was asking for advice. I accused him of being an alt due to a MASSIVE coincidence at the time involving CJ and Fiddy; and then I proceeded to tell him to ask someone else for advice cos I was shit! Bloke never posted again that year and I even sent him an apology for jumping the gun .

Was relieved when he showed up early last year and became a great poster. Even got a couple of Rookie of the Year noms! Nekk minnit he was oh so close to getting a berth in L1 this year
