Has anyone been adding a few levels to a house? What's Latrell been up to lately?

They showed a clip of Fatrell at Tom Burgess wedding two weeks on the news and his his man boobs looked bigger than last year, overall he looked huge.

Speaking of Penisini, did Opacic just drop off the face of the earth

Was preferred centre all last year until family issues from memory but now everyone and their dog is predicting Penisini to start with no issues

Hopefully this year I will have blue Tiges back in the league.

Just tried to join, having been in your leagues before, but already full. Good luck for the season.

Hi everyone, HNY and what not. Hope everyone had a great Holiday season. I haven't done a single minute on any Fantasy prep, haven't even logged in nor checked prices. Looking forward to it though.

Yes I'll be playing this year.
Yes I'll be registering for the leagues.
Yes I'll be winning the entire thing this year.


Who's gonna be 2nd?

No mate, who’s on first.

Who?

on mtb's site under who's not hot = Burton....people realising being at a shite team with a horror draw & possibly losing projected km's if he's not the controlling hlf (Barrett said recently Burton will be a running hlf & the 7 & 9 will control the game). On the amateurfantasysports site they project him in the range of 48-54 pts but that includes 340-400 km's. So say he gets 250 km's he will lose 3-5 pts in km's so his projected pts are now 45-49.

Can someone give me a list of Hookers to look at...



Like the football kind preferably.

Lame.

The ones in consideration for round 1 would be

Cook/Mahoney (for an outright gun pick)
Grant (misses round 1 but possibly 5pts underpriced)
Cotter (in the mix to start at 13 for the cowboys)
Starling (could start with Hodgson leaving in 2023 but also averaged 45 in a small sample of 55 min games off the bench last yr)
Clark (starting 9 for Titans)
Randall (starting 9 for Knights)
J Cook (in the mix to start 9 for the dogs)

SuperMann likely to start at lock according to Toohey, hopefully he'll get given MID dual position for that

I love Mann he's one of my favourite players in fantasy but does O'Brien do to Mann what he did to Watson in 2021...name him to start at lock on tlt then 1 hour before the game pull the old switcharoo & bench him starting a bigger body at lock

As we saw with Watto last year, it didn't really matter if he got moved to the bench, he was still playing enough minutes.

Mann will get probably 40 mins at lock (at some point, not necessarily starting but Toohey's saying he will) and then spell Randall at hooker.

fun fact mark nicholls at souths is the only player in the nrl who's first name is mark.

The key is just getting named there round 1 to get the mid designation. Won't get that if named on the bench at TLT.

Yeah, though if he gets named and then dropped to the bench 1hr before kickoff, he should still get his dual which is fine by me

One guy I'm mulling over is J. Saifiti he really hit form at the back end of 2021 starting the last 11 games. His form was so good he usurped Klemmer as the 2nd best prop but you could argue he was playing better than his brother. In those last 11 games he averaged 46 pts & 50 mins & at 495k he's priced at 40 pts so if he starts & holds those mins there is value there.

Let's hope

Although not sure on Cotter vs Mann

Mann for sure. Much harder to predict Cotter's minutes. They may be minimal
