Oh.. lost my oracle status. Not so omnipotent now

I changed it back after I saw all the Rapana emoticons on the sidebar.

Considering downgrading Harris to Griffin to upgrade a 228k centre to Leilua. Crazy?

Nichollss, Havili, Croker, Isaako/Kennar

not sure on the centre spot: mitchell, inglis, BJ
inglis and leilua are cheaper options but probably not as reliable...

mitchell gives me a little more safety with DP

A solid team. For a little more you could get Aubs in your CTR's otherwise it is a toss up. Latrell is too inconsistent for me. Inglis if he swaps back to FB at times or gets involved is definitely money. BJ I don't trust returning to form. SO if you can handle up and downs stick with Mitchell.

Who hits the 50 consistently this year? or can even hit 50 this year?

I would back Harris to be honest.

James Gavet averaged 28 for his first 8 games last year, and 47 for the last 5.

Minutes remained the same but he started making an 5 more tackles (whilst missing less) and an extra 3 tackle breaks a game, with a small increase in run metres too.

1 try in each group of games. Did he suddenly become a fantasy machine or was it just a fluke run of form?

Bit of a fanboy actually. Shit khunt slowly coming good story.

Last spot in my side:

Croft vs Moses vs Townsend. Really not sure. Most people seem to be going Croft but Moses plays 13 and is goalkicking. Townsend is also playing round 13 and goalkicking but early draw is tough.

Mbye or Dufty?

I think 9 leagues is the most we've ever had. We did pretty well in the rankings last year, and hopefully that continues this year as well.
Thanks to everyone in the community who takes part.

9 seeded Leagues is the most we've had, yep.  Thankyou to yourself and all the Mods for getting it sorted this year Milchy.  And by pretty good in the rankings you mean dead set fucking smashed it!!!

Thaiday just doesn't fit the #9 jersey.

I'm hoping that TPJ holds the starting prop, reckon he is a real chance as well. But who knows. (i'm not picking him).

I would prefer TPJ to get his 40 mins off the bench where there is more chance to break tackles.

Dufty safer mate, has already shown he is damned good in his position. I like Mbye but a definite risk, not to say he won't go well though what are the chances he goes better than Dufty?

Anyone up for the challenge of Sportsdeck Fantasy ? Similar to NRL Fantasy slightly different scoring but just as much fun. We need 5 more entrants for League 2. List your name on the registration thread or hit me up in a PM

I've had griffin and leilua in my team for a while. Dont trust Harris at the Warriors.

Same (Fantasy and IRL)

Longer term, who loses minutes in the Bronco's forward rotation.

On last year averages I have Macca 79, Gillett 76, Glenn 60, McGuire 59, Thaiday 52, Sims 39, Sua 37 (limited games), Ofa 33, TPJ 26.
Or 460 of 480 with Lodge to add.

I assume Sims gets less off the bench and Sua less than over origin, but if TPJ takes 40 minutes, then who are they coming from?

I like Whitehead and Croft the most, but I see value in Townsend and Moses as well. Either way get Whitehead over Merrin imo.

Link to cash comp for those who haven't seen it. We are closing in on $1200. Details in the first post. If we get to $1750 I have promised to post an actual GIF. Yep, you read that right.

Thoughts on running Arrow and Latu in my squad and hope they both make some money RD 1 then trade whichever is replaced by Wallace???
