2016 NRL.com Fantasy pre-thread

Titans have already said Mosselly will be sharing the hooking duties. looked at him too haha.

I don't see why Parcell or korisau wont partner DCE. Either way it sounds as if DCE will be a good pick up. Regardless of who partners him it'll be all on the 10 million dollar man.

That other manly guy will be cheap too.. Can't think of his named right now but he wears head gear and doesn't mind tackling..

Burher.. His name is Jamie Burher!

Buhrer is a trap and is always a trap.

Also J. Mansour, J. Idris will both be discounted. If Copley locks up the CTR position he could be a decent pick and M. Gordon playing 80mins at Fullback could be solid.

Thought you meant Ballin...

So I threw together a quick team. Very raw, and I can see myself dropping one of Tedesco/RTS for Mansour.



Also with the new interchange rule, how many HOK's will become 80min Hookers? McCullough, Segeyaro, Granville?

Doubt Granville will. Luke may be value, Tiger's new hooker would be worth a pick up. Can't see Jackson improving drastically on this year, nor cordner.

I'll probably load up on Hok and WFB this year so I don't have to worry about them! I'll go cheap in the halves and centres

Well I doubt Hodgson will even though he can! What the Raiders now have him, Clysdale, Baptise and Buttriss? Im sure Buttriss will be moved along but they still have three.

I know it wont happen with, Papalii, Kennedy, Soloila and Whitehead there but if only Fensom went back to 80mins!

I can't see how Baptise isn't getting more minutes. The Raiders looked so much more dangerous whenever he was on the field.

Yeah just looked at their minutes. No real room for improvement there.

No Maranta ?

Well I'm feeling a bit emotional, and I'm not even manstrating at the moment.  

The NRL Fantasy trophy/plaque just turned up.  I actually quite like it and was very excited for a few minutes and was just about to PM the winner for an address or way to get it to them.  Then it dawned on me that it would be the inaugural and the final SUG award all in one .

I thought I was over the demise of Sportal, and I think I am getting there, but it's going to take a bit more time than I thought.

Lucky we have NRL Fantasy Fanatics now  .

Can't we just call outselves 'Sportal' next year, even if the URL address is different

I think it has died altogether. Its the longest I can recall its ever been down for. I'm hoping this site takes off. Even if its just us its still good. We seem to get a fair few guests pop on from time to time. Hopefully a few of them join up.

Its weird to think that sportal didnt have a grandfinal thread..

  Very catchy  

This place should take off mate, I've still got a heap of contacts I haven't got through, and some stalking of people who I didn't get contacts for but know who they are over the years   , and also there are 2 groups on FB that used to house 50-100 Sportal posters but are not used anymore-hopefully posting in there with a link triggers a few of the lads to come across.  Will also approach Legends admin; Sportal and Legends have always had a good rapport, and about 20 of the 80 Legends are or were Sportal posters.

re Sportal, I will check in randomly as others like Quicksand are to try to get a hold of other posters, but will only be a regular poster in here from now on, which appears to be your thoughts and most others as well.

I don't know if Copely will get the ctr spot. I really think the backline will be
Boyd
Oates
Reed
Kahu
Maranta.

and who knows how long it'll be until Carlin gets a turn. IF hes as good as everyone has been saying.

He is that good, but has to get the errors out of his game.  Prone to forcing passes and dropping the odd bomb.
