    But Sharks mentor Flanagan rolled his eyes when it was suggested after the round 20 loss that Fifita had been impressive.

    “I don’t think it was one of Andrew’s better games at all,” he said.

    “If that is your opinion of Andrew’s game that’s nice but by his standards and our standards it wasn’t one of his better ones.”


    Flanagan said he would pull Fifita aside after the loss to address his concerns but refused to elaborate.

    Asked what he didn’t like about Fifita’s game, Flanagan said: “I will keep that and work with Andrew on those”.



    I missed my Subway today. I tried just going with the hotel food and I got really, really sick and I wouldn’t go near the tryline down here at the south end,” Fifita told Triple M Radio.

    It’s the first time and it’ll be the last time not eating Subway (on game day).

    “I’ll never go off it again. I don’t care how far it is, I’ll keep walking there.”



    Fifita looking for a sponser?  hahaha

    Nice work, haha. Not sure the Hotel would be happy copping the blame either. Could have been anything he had eaten in the previous 24-48 hours.

    I am a Warriors fan and I was glued to my chair till the end of that game. As people , rightly pointed out, not the best quality game but a close and tense quarter which made it more enthralling than it should have been.

    In the end I thought Broncos won fair and square.

    Only when I logged onto Social Media sites later on is when you realized that I watched a different game from most people.

    Its so relaxing to watch games without social media (and in many cases, without TV commentary either)

    You can just watch and enjoy the game and not have to worry about every single little thing being blown up out of proportion.

    If you have half cover, I think it's a good trade.

    Will give me Cook, McInnes, Farah, Levi in the 14-17

    Which then leaves Walker on the outer.
    But then if I want to play him some weeks I'll have no cover for those weeks.

    Probably not a smart idea huh??

    The haters gonna hate.

    Whatevers. The NRL wouldn't exist without the Broncos.

    Same as The Joker and Batman in the Batman Lego movie.

    Good stuff Fraser and yep, just as crazy back in the Top few hundred as well.


    Whilst we killed it on record last year's in the official FanHub leagues, it would have been very nice to rub it in this year as well Very Happy

    Yeah I'm 235st overall but 31st in our league. Decent concentration of representation.

    Yeah, it just goes to show how much fantasy knowledge this group has. I for one know my rank would be VERY different without it!

    I don't think it will be a big problem mate. As said before, I like Walker against the Eels. Will you have the funds to get Levi next week?

    I'm gonna hold trades, unless MBye (18th man) goes bananas and then I will trade a red dot in for Mann and sit out probably Arrow.

    Ponga is confirmed to play.

    Greeny said he will most likely start one of McLean or Scott and put the other on the bench, he is not sure who yet. Jensen and Dunn likely ones to make way.
