Thanks mate.

I've been playing since around 2006 but took a break in 2012 until this year. First year back has gone much better than I expected rank wise. I pretty much watch every game and spend quite a bit of time on fantasy related stuff so I know some stuff I guess haha.

If you played NRL DT 2006-2012, why didn't you post much in the NRL.com DT thread, which arsendragon started in 2009?

Good ol' Arsendragon haha.

I was more of a lurker I guess in that thread. I did read it for BE's and such but didn't post much.

Fitzgibbon is interesting. I have been looking at him for VSDT, but he is a bit too pricey of a downgrade for me to be prepared to grab there. I DONT play NRLF, so I CAN'T comment on his suitability here.

Ive gone another path and got someone with fantastic POD ownership and way cheaper.

Arsendragon certainly did some ground-breaking stats, price change, and BE work back then. He was VERY generous in sharing his knowledge. I learnt a lot about playing sports fantasy from him back in 2009-10.

Also, his late-night drunken rants against all you Broncos fans used to be pretty funny to read, and they were completely at odds with his nice-guy persona in the DT thread.

Damn Suli losing 18k could've sold him to Rapana and kept Guth for 18 but 10k short

C'MON TLT!

Wanna see which origin players get named... for the dogs especially.

It seems like a bad time to be getting rid of King Gutho. I would keep him for R18 at the very least.

Is there another way that you can bring in Rapana other than trading out Gutho.

P.S. Forgetting about fantasy, how good a footballer is Gutho? IMO he must be ONE of the best utility backs around atm, equally at home at FB, wing, centre, and in the halves.

Beau Scott out for the rest of the year

Just realised can't do Edwards and Rapana as have RTS and want to bring Munster down around 19. Can't have 4 WFB unless sold RTS at some stage

RTS, Teddy, Eddy and Sauce make up my WFBs.

Would love to go RTS to Rapana but that requires a secondary cashout and is more of a luxury upgrade.

Does anyone know where CK and lone scout are ranked?, just out of interest.

What are the most popular captains this round I have Smith (c) and SJ (vc).

I suppose I could gamble on Rapana and keep my 4 reserve positions open to change

Think Scout is about 230, not sure about CK

Lone Scout = 328
CK = 2284

I'm gonna be keeping an eye on the Storm teamlist before captaining Smith and even then, will be tossing it up right up until lockout, I imagine.

What are people's thoughts on Cody Walker? He just hasn't been hitting the mark lately at fullback. I was prepared to trade him after his last bye for someone like Edwards who plays an extra round and pockets 70k. His 51 might be a return to form (though with a try and ta you would expect a good score), or maybe i should just be counting my blessings he didn't lose too much cash and trade him anyway.

...Feels a little sideways even as I type all this to convince myself....

Ah I can't do it! Disregard all this. I'm still going to post because you never know when your irrelevant musings might help somebody. B-)

Thanks Pookus!

I'm also sitting on the fence in regards to Edwards and CWalker

I'll wait and see what TLT throws our way...

So with Kaysa and Scott out for the year, who will play hooker for Parra?
