That’s brilliant. Schoolgirls and mod references in post number 11

Rabs I don’t know why all the fuss mate. Just chill and chat some footy, and the place is better for it

Mate. I’m not Rabbit. What he does on this site, I don’t care about, but I do see a bunch of kids constantly referencing him, so he is living in their head rent free. He must have really got some undies in a twist. I don’t think he gives a fuck about anything here tbh.

I’m here to talk footy, but after the cheap and cowardly shots I saw, I commented. That’s all. Carry on.

As for footy, who do you think gets the Cowboys 6 and the Tigers 13?

Morning Rabs, good luck for the fantasy season.

Why no love for Holmes? Was goal kicking in the trials and I'm still tipping Drinkwater to start at five eighth, so no GK for Clifford and Marsters said he hasn't really been practicing as much as Holmes and Clifford . Will be a gun in the position. Thoughts?

I'm doing my third season, second where I've half ass known what I'm doing. Reckon I'd be a good fit for any of those?

People are scared about what a year off means for his form.

His massive run of form at the end of 2018 included 9 tries in 8 games, and goalkicking, so he'd really have to hit the ground running with that sort of form in order to be worth it

I'm open to anything this TLT throws at me, though will probably come down to which players have the strongest immune system, the clubs isolation and their ability to access toilet paper

No hate for Holmes from me, but are you thinking of picking him instead of Papi, or alongside? Hard to do either of those, imo.

Yep let’s carry on. There’s no cheap coward shots fired here. Just a bunch of lads trying to bluff their way through a fantasy pastime, while watching the sports and drinking beer.

I like Drinkwater for 6. If he’s not there I don’t think he’s fit. My rationale is Paul Green. He has had plenty of opportunity to play Jake Clifford (who I rate) before now and he’s never really been keen. Furthermore, Drinkwater was a big acquisition for them last year. Can’t see him out in the cold just because valentine couldn’t make it in New York

Tigers 13 I really have no idea. Eisenhuth? What a shithouse pack though. Should mean nice minutes for Musgrove

I’m a fan but won’t be running two 600k+ WFB so Pap for me gets nod.

I think he’s in a list of only about a dozen players truly capable of being a cut price positional gun

Anyone have a spot available in their draft on NRL.com?
Or even better! Any chance you've recorded the average draft position when you did your draft?

Would be a MASSIVE help if you could help out with either
Just over a day till TLT! really should be a public holiday.

99% of the time I'm scrolling through on my phone so don't even notice the avatars.
Being called out means I'm going to make sure I have one today - thanks for the kick up the arse!

Rabs should really get off here while the stock market is crashing. Those pools don't heat themselves.

Might i suggest a strapping lad in lime greeen?
Not enough Charnze avatars floating around i reckon. Or Whitehead, he definitely doesn't get enough love

Yeah get that anti-vax wanker Carty out of your team alright!

Why is there so much Carty love about the place though. Seriously.
Don’t make me look up stats, I just want to hunch and grudge block him from ever being near my team again! He’s the same price as Hess and Williams

Cheers for that input on Holmes guys, pretty much my thoughts too. Could be a good POD among serious teams.

I reckon Brooks pops off like Moses did last season. He finished the year on fire and I remember he was touted the future Blues half but never eventuated.

Yeah the stats can really lead you down the dark Carty path. Let me tantalise you with a summary . Even ignoring his fantastic career average (49.6) playing 80 mins in the second row, last year he found 44.1 points for 80 minute games (or 42.3 for all games he started) whilst priced at 33. Say what you will about him, he looks to be good value. And then there is always the lucrative factor of getting to join the Party...

I would normally avoid someone so erratic, but his end of season form was against some cellar dwelling teams: cowboys, bulldogs, sea eagles, knights, dragons, sharks- manly the only one with grunt there, and he averaged 71.6. With the Tigers draw also fairly easy to start the season (Dragons, Knights, Bulldogs, Warriors) betting on him being a flat track bully is actually a pretty tempting shout to make.
