2016 NRL.com Fantasy thread part 35

Go to the rankings tab on the fantasy site and look at verified leagues. It has leagues for each club team, plus renegades and (ex-sportal) Fantasy Fanatics.

In previous years other groups like Legends, Weapons have also had verified leagues, but this year looks like just us and renegades.
Unfortunately this year we got the wrong league put up on the site (blame Random!) so instead of being 1st, we are down near the bottom.

If you want to help out all you have to do is join the ranked sportal leagues next year, and you'll be in. We take all comers, no need for worrying about passing some imaginary quality barrier.

There is also rankings for all H2H leagues, but the NRLFF leagues kind of suck this year, and we don't seem to have any in the top 50.

The other things to note is that we have much mroe freedom here

Most people at sportal couldn't create new threads, and the constant alt-bickering in the rest of the site meant that pretty much everyone only checked the fantasy thread and nothing else.

This year though we also have several separate threads that would have been part of the main fantasy thread last year (rate-my team, Pacey vs Finchy, Boozecluez blog, etc) which would add up to an extra 100 pages or more . So we are well on track for our best year ever.

Hopefully Tark can maintain his lead and we can claim 2 champions in a row.

My best finish previously was about 500th (got as high as 64th during the year) a few years ago. I usually end up in the top 2000 at the end of the year but I have only ever been a h2h player with my mates from work.

I made 3 trades this round mainly because I had managed to save a few up until this point. This week I traded smith to Hodgson, benry to et and lamb to Hughes. Only trade I was uncertain about was smith out but I think Hodgson should out score him until r19 when I am planning on trading him out

Going great guns tark.

Trading Smith out is a ballsy move. Hope it pays off for you. Other 2 were great moves.

Who won last year?

It's $15k first prize right?

Can Kiwis (living in NZ) claim prizes?

I was thinking we might call it at 50 Milchy after the last couple of crackers and make the next one even better.  Thoughts?

Last year champ is PhilGouldsChins

Doesn't post much, but he's doing well this year too, was up around the top 100 last I checked.

Kiwis can win prizes. First prize is $15k and a championship ring they value at $5000.

Prizes aren't that great really though, they have been much better in the past.

97% of that rings value is made up of digital subscriptions I'm hearing...
