    I assume you don’t have D. Fifita then?

    I can fit him in and sacrifice 2nd FRF and 3rd WFB or go more balanced instead

    Still unsure on how Broncos pack is going to play out

    Yeah have Haas, Lolo and Moses as my 700k+ players in my current draft

    Hass Bateman and DCE are mine, can fit Lolo and Will if Bateman doesn't play round 1

    my tv broke wrote:This is an interesting quote from Siebold if you like to try read into things, 'those' the key word -

    “I’m giving Xavier an opportunity to play NRL this year. There’s no guarantees for anyone but I’d like to see him, Herbie Farnworth and Corey Oates fighting it out for those wing spots. Xavier has had a very good pre-season so it’s now up to him. He is a real talent. It will be great to see a guy like Xavier at the NRL Nines. It will be exciting for our fans to see the young talent we are bringing through.”

    Not sure how Bird Staggs and Boyd then fit into the mix if he actually meant those three are fighting for two wing spots, or it was just a meaningless quote.

    “Darius will play centre in the trial. He will play about 20 minutes and Jack will play some time at fullback, it will only be minimal but it will be good to see him back on the park. Birdy has done some reps at centre and fullback during the pre-season. We do have some depth in the outside backs, so everyone will get ample opportunity to stake a claim during the trials.”

    EDIT: There is actually another CM article re Corey Oates only just returning to training after a leg infection. It says that he should be right for round 1, but if not, then Coates would probably take his place.

    I find it amusing that the 2 players fighting it out for 1 spot are Coates and COates.

    Last year you wrote to us asking if we would please address the accessibility issues on NRL Fantasy.

    To ensure we are keep you up-to-date, we wanted to write to you to notify you that, despite our best intentions, we've been unable to make any significant progress in this matter for the 2020 season. This is due many variables, some of which we have no control over, creating a difficult equation that resulted in our prioritising upgrading the Tipping products that will service 125,000-plus users in 2020.

    Please be assured that we remain committed to improving accessibility compliance for all our products. NRL.com takes this matter seriously (the main site has accessibility features) and a product upgrade is still at the top of our requirements list for 2021's product.

    We're sure that's not what you were hoping to hear, but trust you will maintain the faith and continue as a passionate and resourceful member of the NRL Fantasy community.

    Best of luck this season.

    Kind regards,
    NRL Fantasy & Tipping

    Hi @Blindside,

    This is shit mate, sorry to read this.

    Last year I recall writing to the NRL/fantasy people to support you and others. Please let me and everyone else if something similar would help? It might just be that people write to express their disappointment that in over a year they have managed to do nothing. In the end change typically comes from public pressure and thats one thing we can all help with.

    Best,

    Nick

    If Jackson plays lock then I can see Stimson getting bigger minutes, if not I’m likely to avoid Stimson.

    Jackson should play lock. I emphasise should.

    I’m not confident in cheaper options for 2nd FRF, Molo and Mikaele I don’t think I can rely on and Carrigan is a no go unless Broncos suffer an injury to their starting pack in trials.

    At this stage unless things look better for Carrigan then I’ll gave to run with one of MoFo/Knight.

    RFM pretty unlikely to start anyway.

    Pack probably Napa JMK Tolman CHN Stimson Jackson

    Stimson will start on an edge and play 60+ mins, id bet good money on this. Or just a forum bet

    Panthers have named a 9s team that actually reads like an NRL team list. Named most of their top players, good to see.

    Broncos named theirs eariler which is just basically all the guys that arent playing the trial game.

    Broncos team should go in as favourites, lots of talent, no other teams will be able to match their forwards for speed, strength and fitness.

    If I could play Haas as my only FRF I would. At this stage I’m kinda leaning towards Tetevano/Molo just for low price and hoping they can elevate to mid 30s

    I’m probably just telling you guys that the sun is hot, but Dean Pay was on the radio this afternoon (Talkin’ Sport) and the fact that Stimson can kick goals was raised. I didn’t know this. Pay also seemed to make special mention of the fact that Stimson is very versatile and can play lots of different positions. Surely he’s not being considered in some type of utility role? I doubt it... but I found it interesting that he mentioned that.

    Anyway, didn’t hear full interview... just that little bit.

    Not Fantasy relevant but J. Hoffman looking to sign w/ blackhawks (Cowboys Feeder Club) so if injuries hit hard could end up with a contract. The Blackhawks actyally have a decent side with Clifford, Granville potentially there too.

    With McGuire and McLean likely to play  big minutes I can’t see Molo getting anymore than 30mins max.

    Ahh yeah cause I remember there was talk about him as a Cashcow last year. Cowboys have a decent roster just dont know if they have someone who can play that "leader" type role
