My first pick is Radradra who has scored a hattrick of tries in the 1st game of the previous 2 seasons. He will be joined by Tedesco & RTS. I'm not sure whether RTS will do as well with the Warriors next year. A big difference playing behind a dominant Roosters pack where you're going forward as opposed to playing behind a Warriors pack. I'm thinking of using 2 guideslines next year in picking my team. (1) don't but injury prone players (2) never pick any Warriors players.

I might take a gamble next year and NOT start with Smith, Farah (lol), Thurston or Parker.

I have a pretty good idea of who I will pick in my very first draft. KISS.

Decided that for next year I'm going to make up 3 teams. Only one will be SUG (or whatever it will be) eligible obviously.
-One will be my main team where I will try to be smart with my moves and play like I have previously although hopefully better than this year.
-The 2nd will just be straight gut decisions so it will be interesting to see how the two of them compare.
-The final team will be POD only. I'll set a percentage guideline and wherever possible once a player is over that limit they are gone from the team. None of this same 14 players as everyone else come round 20 like every other year.

Glad to see you here WL.

I usually run a 2nd team that focuses heavily on WFB, HLF and CTR in that order. Never works out well.

Also on the note of SUG. I don't mind calling it SUG again, however the only problem is that it may direct people towards Sportal over our actual location.

first two picks will be george rose and todd lowrie

Rod Griffin as a NPR FF for reals.

FFUG

FFUG

FFUG

FFUUUUUUUUUUUG

It will be pretty sad if we can't win a popularity contest against an Internal Server Error

The problem is if we use the word Sportal, and then people go there, and they get that error, they may think it is just them or their PC and that the rest of us are still happily posting over there, and then give up.

Will be my first NPR picked if he goes alright in the trials, also for realsies.

What I meant was similar to what SI said. I mean I originally found Sportal when I saw it on the Rankings list. I am just saying if we have Sportal listed still it may have trouble finding us.

Is there a way to promote/link this site via a Sportal search?  The fact I can't open a word document lends me to ask this question.

Sportal don't maintain their site, hack the link to the league forum so it directs people here. Anyone know a hacker ?

Fuck calling it Sportal. Why should those clowns get any form of reference for our mad Fantasy skills when they can't even keep their POS forum up and running

Rory O'brien anyone?

If anything calling it Fantasy Fanatics Ex Sportal may direct people here

I learnt how to open a Word Document yesterday thanks to the kind folks on this forum.  I'm ready for the next step.

any rumours if the scoring system is getting any more tweeks?
