NRL Fantasy 2019 Part 84

It gets handled by the NRL.

I just got an email a few minutes ago from the NRL to confirm 5th place . It said they would follow up shortly re the club prize.

Pretty sure the clubs were good in contacting VK and Zora last year

Yeah just came through for me as well, a couple years back it was $200 voucher so they seem to chop and change each year
The biggest issue is getting merch in your size as most of the good stuff is sold out by now
So would recommend using it soon to avoid missing out on options especially if your team is going well

Last years seems to be the best prizes but at least with the end of year discounts on the NRL.shop site you should get good value from this voucher
Though they seemed to spread out the prize value over weekly and a few new competitions which is good
You would think being the official comp of the NRL they would do more or be more consistent but it's nice to get something regardless

Yeah it seems some clubs offer a lot more than others. I mean, being a free competition you don't expect anything too extravagant but to be able to beat out thousands of people for top spot you would get more than a club shop voucher. You'd think they'd offer tickets/boxes to games or similar.

Box to a home game against an out of town team. There would be plenty spare

A nines prize pack with a jersey and player interaction would be an awesome prize to do in hindsight for winners of various comps too, wouldn't even cost them much to do with sponsors
Perfect way to boost numbers and give exposure to it as well

Tigers probably give you a framed picture of 9th for winning their league.

Apparently Dragons, Titans, Raiders and Bulldogs are keen to sign "The Man" Jr. CJ Mundine!!

Also, Wigan coach Shaun Wane, has put his hand up for top job of the Dragons coaching roll. Wane has a great reputation in England since taking over the reins at Wigan from current Wests Tigers coach Michael Maguire in 2012.
He won one minor premiership, one Challenge Cup, three grand finals and one World Club Challenge.

Watkins??? Really? For someone with a decent wrap coming over from England he wasn't much.

There are a few English players heading over next year if i do remember myself.

As we are all looking for next year; who is one player everyone reckons will take that leap from good player to elite player/origin contention next year.. Much like Moses this year.

Thanks for a great season everyone,I’m chuffed that I finished 26th when there’s some much tough competition. Can’t wait to do it all again next year!

Hi, just wanted to drop in and say thanks for all the help this year. I was taught to listen twice, speak once and thats kinda how i approach forum life too.

Ended up 73rd overall, which surpassed even my wildest hallucination. Would not have been possible without y'all.

ABitofBiff went into the last Rd at 51st, but ultimately my Nikora to Latrell decision cost me. Large. Lost both my H2H to a good mate who'll remind me all year, and slipped 22 places. The Latrell decision was mine, i'm a big boy so i'll own it, but i wont do it again.

Congrats to all the major place getters, i'm a Warriors supporter and it seems that was a very strong comp to be in. At least there's success in the stands i guess.

To Mr MyTVBroke, can't begin to know how you might have felt when that NRL Legal letter turned up, but thanks for all your work (and Mr Milchcow's too) in the numbers game. If that fridge starts looking a bit empty, just holla, plenty more good Kiwi beers for you to try yet.

Cheers, see y'all next year.

Adam.

Yeah Watkins is a bit of a placeholder in this draft. I'm sure someone else will pop up. I just wanted to put a bit of a POI team together.

How long have you been holding onto this one for?

Same. Looks like they haven't really involved the clubs.
