NRLFF Fantasy 2006 Part 1 - Let's get retro

I like the idea but at this stage i'm still working and not sure I would have the time for this manual work around

Wow, those names are some blasts from the past. I remember actually picking a few of them back in the day!

That Sonny-Bill Williams kid looks the good. Sounds like he'll be at Canterbury for life, lucky doggies fans!

Cronulla has the round 1 bye


Those are the actual teams that took the field, no need to worry about late mail - Pacey has no job here.

So who won the ladder predictor

Some very tempting looking players there, not sure I have the time to actually jump in and stay committed, but I'll be watching with intent

I’m excited for this

I’m definitely picking one of the few Aussies I’ve seen play live ha

I might just do that for shits and giggles. Give the people something, that's what us mods are hear for

OK, getting the prices together will take a bit of time, because its a bit of work, and because having everyone home all the time is making it hard to find some quiet time to do it

But this will be the scoring system

Tries 17 points
Goals 2 points
Field Goals 5 points
Run metres 1 per 10 points
Tackles 1 point
Line break 10 points
Offloads 4 points
Errors -2 points
Kicks in play 1 point


I've borrowed a lot of the scoring from SC, as such the backs are likely to score massively, but inconsistently.
Also note there are no Tackle Bust points, because I don't have them available.

Prices and salary cap TBA, might to the NRL tactic of releasing a couple of teams at a time, once I'm comfortable with what pricing will look like.

Very good work Milchy, I'ma look on but won't commit to it.

Wow. Huge effort mate. Fair play to you for keeping the dream alive around here

My fave fantasy player of all time in there A Laffranchi.

Get in my team with captains armband on

Two things I will never forget about that guy

1. Paul Gallen purposely ripping his stitches open to ensure he couldn't continue to play
2. Sexual assault.

I was always a huge Anthony Laffranchi fan, he ended up in my team every year around the byes

I'm in, if you still have time for this Milchy
