This forum is fantastic to share teams, opinions, get views, trade ideas and mail that is hard to find elsewhere.  It's great to have different sets of eyes over something and it's great that everyone is so helpful and in all my time here, there has been no bad advice given on purpose to try and bring others down.  Everyone here helps each other, that's what makes it so great.  This forum has made NRL and fantasy even more enjoyable again for me.  Post away everyone!

no need to stop posting, input is appreciated when questions are asked, everyones got their own opinions and thoughts, no-one here truly knows what will happen moving forward, that's the nature of the game, it's just when people are asking for advice i think it's important to be sure to seperate opinion from fact and give them what they need to form their own opinion, for example -

Your opinion is that Hess is more reliant on attacking stats than you're be comfortable with and you're concern with him is that they will dry up and his scores will drop, and that's certainly a valid opinion, and one worth voicing to some-one who's asking, but when you state that he's got '20 points in 80 minutes' in him, some-one might read that and go 'yuck, i don't want 20 points stinking up my 2RF' and put a red line straight through him, whereas that same person might read just your opinion, investigate further and go 'hmm, he hasn't gone scored below 40 points yet in 80 minutes yet and he's capable of some monster scores, i think i'll take that risk' or 'yeh you're right, that is a concern, i think i'll look elsewhere then'

Im a bit over this to be honest. I've re-read my post(s) and back what I said and the way I said it. I appreciate where you are coming from but I think it's time to move on.

Rabbit wrote:OK, Rippin and Tearin. Re Hess.

By my reckoning, to be a 2RF keeper a player needs to be in the Top 10 scorers in that position or you could look at the Top 25 scorers in any position. Currently, that player has an average less than 50 on both counts. So Hess, to remain a keeper would need an average of around 50. That is the reality.

I'm willing to have an avatar bet over the next 3 weeks that he averages 50+. If he does that, I have no doubt he is keeper status for the year, barring injury.

The avatar of your choice is for a week. I am prepared to have the same bet with any other poster regarding Crichton also.

Are we on?

BTW, don't stop your opinions. It creates discussion and that is good.
