    Just had a go at this and I haven't got a fecking clue what's going on. Bloody Failhub.

    HELP!!!

    *EDIT: Do we have to pick 4 different Match Day teams, instead of ONE team for the whole round? (This is as clear as mud to me.)

    Yes - you have a team for each game

    Actually I was looking through the list and saw how cheap he was so looked at it and saw he had retired. A real shame, last season showed just how solid of a player he could be and I enjoyed him while he was with the Raiders.

    Thanks for the heads up NW. Very Happy

    But that seems pretty lame to me. Won't a lot of people pick nearly the same 6 players in each game, due to the lack.of viable options in each position in each game (as Milchy alluded to in his post)? :-S

    I hadn't realised Mataora had retired. He really went well in 2016.

    .

    Some players, eg Cam Smith will be nearly universal picks, but there is enough choice around to split the comp up.

    Also in this comp, captain gets triple points, with VC double points, so picking the guy who goes nuts can be key.

    In total there will be 9 games over 4 weeks to split the comp up.

    I also think that quality players with dpp will be harder to come by next year with some like TTurbo likely to lose theirs making trades even more valuable.

    What are the chances we get more trades?

    A) I think they'll set it at $9.1million, or whatever the NRL cap is, and increase the starting salaries accordingly.

    B) Aubbs In Love will suirely keep his DPP, and that is all that matters. More seriously, wonder what they'll do with guys like McGuire/NBrown/Klemmer who are props that play in the lock position.


    C) I'd love to see them introduce a wildcard, or maybe use the FPL idea of making extra trades each week for a points penalty. But who knows what wondrous new feature they'll surprise us with.

    Milchy you legend.

    Scott and Thurston if fit are the clear standouts, as well as Cartwright if his head's together and Ese'ese moving clubs.

    I finished up on 145 overall. By far the best I've done in the four years I've been playing. I thought I was a shot at top 50 but ran out of steam the last couple of weeks. I ended up playing the last round with only 15 players! Couple of lessons learned for next season.

    I wouldn't have gotten close to that overall score without the awesome advice and help of the forum, so cheers to everyone that contributed over the season and enjoy the off season!

    Kenny suffers from a rare metabolic imbalance related to potassium levels fluctuating uncontrollably during games. This usually manifests itself as the spontaneous and severe onset of lower limb cramping at around the 77th minute and onwards of most games.

    If this is your work, I love you.

    Let's see how long it lasts-my Kimmorley edit last year was taken down within 24 hours.

    I am finally over that and will begin pursuing my love of Wiki edits again.  This has taught me that roadblocks are there to be smashed through.

    I hope not, it's well written and factual.
