    Holland was one of my first picked, if not the first. I had him pencilled in since about round 23 or 24 last year. Had to play him the last few weeks and he won me my work league.

    Holland and Nikora for me. Will try and sneak Capewell onto the bench

    Same for me if both start in the second row.

    MTB on that note maybe Milfy could be a decent pickup later on in the year once Brisbane hit their straps.

    Will SJ eat into Townsend's points ? Does anyone have details when they were last paired at the Warriors ? I'm wondering if Townsend may actually get a lift ?

    Anyone else hear the NRL are going to trial a new form of punishment with the Scott Bolton drama's by releasing the footage from the bar of what happened to deter future incidents from happening?

    I need somebody to talk me down off this ledge, everything is fading to green and there's a gutter english accent in the distance...

    Whitehead seems to be undervalued after stints playing ctr last season. I dont think hes a bad option to start with if you're looking for a solid option to start the season.

    He should make some coin and ave close to 40 making him easy to upgrade to a gun

    The Warriors have implented a policy that will automatically stand down any player or staff member facing serious criminal allegations. It is expected the ARL Commission will take the same stance.

    It's in today's Daily Telegraph. Head over to the Bad Behaviour thread, I've covered it

    Do many people here play the console Rugby league games? Granted they are absolutely shite compared to the uk or us sport games..

    I've got rugby league 4 on PS4. Would be really keen to play someone online with our best 17 in our NRL fantasy teams.

    Super lame or any takers?

    Is a thread with invite codes for H2H leagues this year? Am I late in getting started? I haven't gone back through all the posts on here so don't know if this was all done weeks ago.

    My league code is 34A6VTV7. All welcome.

    Jarrod Croker on big sports breakfast said new recruit Bateman will play lock role. Compared him to Watmough type player.

    593k makes him an impossibly bad gamble though, is anyone genuinely interested in him round 1?

    If Bateman starts at lock he will be in my team. I watched some highlights of him earlier this year and he is a very strong, quick, TB guzzler!

    He is super expensive but i reckon Lock is his best position and will excel there. Could possibly be a wait and see? BE of 40, i dont think he will make too much money too quickly.

    I can't remember a pre-season with so many good looking options at centre.

    Working through them. At this stage about six and half ranked leagues (who played last year) and one and half leagues of newies. So eight is probably quite reasonable for this time of year. All you lurkers feel free to jump in!
