The thing that has put me off hiku is how many attacking opportunities will he get at the warriors, has he got his pac e back after his knee op and is he a tackle bust type player that most ctrs rely on to get good fantasy points

What's with Gurgess and Gray?

First prize in AFL fantasy is a car, and in NRL we get a trip to Perth (which they somehow value at $11,000)

makes me sick to think what the prize money will be next year

I have him penciled in for about 30 minutes, more if Hoffman is spelled by NAS as rumours say. I think he can average close to 30 points, only priced at 22.
Puts him in about the same economy bracket as Evans in my books.

Smith
Latu Gurgess
Brown Harris Murray
DCE Watson
Gray Hunt
Teddy Hiku Fonua

Lichaa, Cartwright, Arrow, Lodge

Milne, Hastings/Croker, Havili, Whare
200k left to play with

I think A. Gray is injured atm.

Evans will likely be on the bench to begin with getting 30+ scores and if he's good enough, he'll bench Mannah or Alvaro and get 35+. If its one or the other I'd go with Evans

Created a league called “Queenslanders” if anyone wants to join.

Hey lads,

Been so busy lately but I've made it back eventually for another year. Good to see the forum pumping and gaining momentum so early in the season and great seeing a lot of the old faces back as well.

Not sure what to think about this new format, being a creature of habit I probably prefer the way it was before.

Anyway it is what it is so now a bit of research to try and put a half decent side together.

whats the code mate

Might be worth posting a league code

Hi.

Fairly new to all this although I gave it a shot last season and did OK despite not being able to watch too much NRL here in the UK. Would appreciate some feedback on my current squad! Cheers.

Smith
Ese'ese Yates
Brown Arrow Murray
Norman Walker
Hiku Milne
Ponga Tedesco French

INT: Welch, Cartwright, Watson, Lodge
EMG: Kikau, Croker, Butcher, Opacic

Yates, Norman and French are a bit questionable. Definitely get rid of those three

I don't see him benching either tbh. I started with him a couple years ago when he played 8 or so games for 40 mins apiece and only produced 30s. Roosters didn't rate him and he ended up having his minutes cut. Bloke as big as him should be making tacklebusts by the truckload but I think he only averages 1 per game over his two seasons. I'm not letting him burn me again. I doubt I would go either, but if my money is short I will probably bring in Welch, he tackles a lot more than Evans and I can always bank on a tacklebot. But I agree to disagree

Whats the price diff between Rapa and Teddy this year? Wonder if anyone is keen on a bet on which finishes the year with a higher total again... (should be easy this year, rapa was put into the fat camp )

You know I'm game

I've set up an open league 3X39HVE2 if anyone wants to join. It'd be great to have a league with everyone in it like the Renegades

We do have one each year too, but we can still join yours
