Alphabetically. Easier to find that way.

to be honest, given how many cheap nuffies you are relying on as part of your 17, I am not sure where all the money you saved has gone.

Molo, Tino, Cogget, Lumelume, Crossland are all of dubious usefulness, and if they don't start (and most of them I would expect not to)  there's no guarantee that you can get a replacement at their price. And as a reward for saving all that money, you only have 1 guy values over $800k

Its quite ambitious to expect that many viable cheapies, plus an extra 4 in NPRs.

Lol just as we think we will have it all figured it in 5 weeks TLT will come around and then it’ll be a long night for me and probs all of us that night lol!

That's it. No more time wasting till the trials when we know for real how the teams lists are shaping up.

I think that wins the most unique team award here so far.

Have a look at RCGs stats the last few years. Last year was actually his best fantasy wise (and still sucked).
2015 32 average in 41 mins
2016 30 average in 42 mins
2017 37 average in 51 mins
2018 33 average in 51 mins
2019 38 average in 47 mins (which he is now priced at)

Don't expect any improvement from him this season just because he changed clubs.

If I had 1k more, I would have gone Hamlin-Uele.

I know it may sound like I am eating a uni-cornish pastie but I am predicting around 55-60 minutes consistently, leading the pack and an average around 45 and would be OK with low 40's.

The surgeon who cleaned out his arm trained the house down to make him pain free. New club. Old moe. Ticks all the boxes. Probably the first player I would change though

Dugan is a mid 00s bmw with an engine light on... The sharks seem to have taken the bulb out to try and sell him bit it blew a gasket anyway

Just confirming, no one particularly interesting benefits from Bateman’s “indefinite” outage from the game? Maybe Sutton? Or even Bateman of the Luke variety? Either way, not interesting.

Over hyped player - Brodie Croft
Over hyped  team - Raiders
Suprise team - Bulldogs
Suprise Player - Kyle Flanagan
Rising star - Tommy Taulu
Highest average scoring Fantasy player - Tolo
Most disappointing fantasy gun - Damien Cook

Feel free to copy the template and hack a crack!!

Overhyped player - on here probably Croft, overall Holmes by far (10th for ownership overall)
Overhyped team - Cowboys (even though I ranked them in top 8, may have unsettled spine of most of season)
Surprise team - Positive surprise Titans, negative surprise Sharks/Souths
Surprise player - Keppie - could get a starting spot if rumour of AFB/Jurbo being out for early rounds is true and had good performance in FW1 with Taupau suspended
Rising star - Bradman Best, bit of a no brainer, for someone who hasn't played yet Keaon Koloamatangi (young forward for Souths)
Highest average - Haas
Disappointing fantasy gun - Cook

I’ve had Holmes from the start but I’m starting to get concerned that I have too many Origin players and he may end up getting Isaako’d before final lock out. But I really want to start with him and hope it’s a beautiful thing.

Canberra Raiders forward John Bateman has undergone minor surgery today to fix an ongoing shoulder issue. Bateman will be monitored post-surgery to see when he's available to return to the field. At this stage, there is no set date for his return and it will be assessed closer to the commencement of the season.

Had shoulder surgery and is out for an "indefinite" amount of time. I did a search and saw someone had mentioned it earlier today so didn't make a big announcement, but yeah, it was news to me when I saw the NRL.com Casualty Ward too. Pretty big out for Canberra, and I'm sure for some Fantasy coaches.

You reckon he might still start the season? From the tone of the article on NRL.com it seemed like it could drag on for a while?

NRL Physio has written best case 3-4 weeks return to play for cleanout surgery. Should still be fine for R1, remember him being under injury cloud for R1 last year and it didn't affect him in the slightest

The surgery only just happened now because they attempted to do it without surgery with rehab but were unsuccessful

You are one of the best guards against this MattNZ! Highly commended goes to Rabbit as well.

I don’t say this lightly.

If the Tigers don’t play Harry Grant for 80 each week then they’ve wasted their time with him. Haven’t seen a bloke in QCup control a game like he does in a long, long time.
