Hunt to hooker for bronx may be good for my fantasy side..

Terrible news for the bronx. No matter which way we line up, no macca, no chance for us.

The one position we can't replace with a decent player. When he went down injured last year it hurt us so much. Need to sign a decent back-up in the off-season who can play the first two months of next season while Macca is still probably out. That player is not Travis Waddell...

Don't know why Kearny isn't under the microscope as much as the likes of Des.  Done absolutely nothing to improve that team and they are in no better position then when they were when McFadden was there.  

Yeah looks like the media here in NZ aren't talking about him...'Trust the Process'.
All the fans want him gone, the players have regressed since he took over and they look bored and restricted.

I don't want to bash Kearney but I will. He hasn't got a strong enough personality to stamp his mark. He should of taken a hard line approach & dropped players. However the problem he has is who do you replace them with because there's no depth. Also the way the Warriors clock off for periods of a game is exactly how he was as a player because he too went m.i.a. during games. Also his blank, unemotional expression when the camera's pan to the coaches box really annoys me. For god sake rant & rave, swear, throw your arms around, stand up & shout for joy but no he just sits there, as still as a statue with this blank look on his face.

The only way the Warriors are ever going to be competitive is if they relocate to Australia. There they will be able to sign quality players to improve the team, get rid of the soft cock players. No players want to move to NZ unless they are paid overs. Look at the players clubs like the Knights & Tigers have signed for next year. These 2 clubs are at the Warriors level & these signings will improve their roster & provide depth while the Warriors will struggle to sign any players & will continue to struggle to be competitive.

What's the point of that? Then they wouldn't be the Warriors, they'd be just another team, and for any access to Australian players they'd lose their hold on SJ, RTS,,Luke, Mannering, Tohu etc and the production line from NZ (how they actually coach them is another matter).

Auckland is a much easier sell to live in than, say, Townsville anyway and the Cowboys do ok.

I don't think quality of talent is really the issue. They had the NZ spine of RTS, Foran, SJ and Luke this year yet they disappointed again. Much to the surprise of nobody really. There's just something severely wrong with the culture down there and nobody except Ivan Cleary seems to know how to fix it.

You're not wrong there. It's a shorter distance from Brisbane to Canberra than Brisbane to Townsville is.

Broncos fans should be very very worried if this guy pops up anywhere near the 21 names on the team list.  

I think it was last year that Waddell played a couple of games for the Broncos while Mccullough was out injured. Waddell was extremely ordinary. The Broncos would be better off running with Hunt or Niko at hooker. Even Josh Mcguire would do a better job then Waddell 

Wooohoooo! 1000 pts for the round. Round rank of 47. Moved up a little over 1k ranks to 3821 overall. Biggest lesson from my first year of fantasy..... plan for byes. Dont just ignore them and hope for the best haha

Well done mate, there are seasoned veterans who haven't cracked the 1k.

If he came cheap 100%

I'm shit faced so going to just post garbage and you can take from it what you like.

- I won my eliminator, which is embarrassing for all involved. Especially because I beat Milchcow first round.

- No premiership for the Broncos this year is like having my asshole tongued by ScarJo. Just so pleasurable.

- The Knights will go back to back and beat the Warriors.

- T Sauce goes in the cupboard.

- You should pay more attention to what a girl is wearing and not get lost in her beautiful eyes (will let @SI tell that story)

- Don't doubt CS9 and don't ever make a hoe a housewife.

I'll be very surprised if Waddell isn't in the 21 released tomorrow. Wayne won't know for certain until the captain's run whose going to play where and he will leave himself as many options for the weekend in Tuesday's squad list as possible.

Personally, I'm hoping for mind games 5000. Something insane like 4. Kahu 5. Opacic 9. Moga. Really get something mental on paper.

Smith has deservedly punished me for my betrayal. 973 for the round, but would have easily cracked 1k for the first time this season with Captain Smitty. He was right to do it, I was way out of line trying to front Gallen as a Captain. But Smith knows, sees through. Here endeth the lesson.

I'm going for a salty non smith owner post here. Rule no.1 and all that

Almost my bed time so I need someone to run the numbers on this please....

Out of the top 5 averaging players...Per round, How many times has Smith finished as top scorer?
