Not much interest here in Bird, but I'm personally all on that flight. Could prove to be an anus of a move though. But I like it for now...

Fantastic use of the word anus. SI himself would be impressed.

Exactly. They mean fuck all

In L3 we don't need swimming pools

You know the leagues are serious business when certain hairy members are prepared to register late on purpose to get into L51

No, I just got a PM from Standard Issue, I’ll have to suck it up I guess, fair is fair and rules are rules so I have to respect that.

Once again I am sorry for my rant.

P.S. maybe by some miracle someone doesn’t register and if I can somehow even get in something like league 7 that’d be great.

Where did you rank end of last year? To be fair all the rules are set out in advance anyway.

and short and fast the leagues mean fuck all as they change every year depending on finish, just because you are in league 10 this year doesn't mean you can only move into League 9 next season

Like I said, anyway it they mean fuck all unless you want to go dick swinging to your mates telling them you are in league 4 of a fantasy forum where you have never met any of the posters in real life.

One day I would like to have a beer with Rabbits21

This is a very good point to make Welshy-so we do seeding every year NOT relegation/promotion; so anyone can go from L10 to L1 in the space of a year

Lost mine few years ago, why I’m so mad all the time! Just wish I was in League 4

It’s fine mate, at least you still have the podcast next week with Random to look forward to

Thanks for your kindness.

Regarding the leagues, I think I've been in L7 for the second year now but I hope to excel this year by having a crack at Overall.

I also think that being in a league you're not delighted with is a good incentive to blitz that league and demand with your skillz to be promoted next year. Me, I feel I'm more likely to get demoted so I might trade Rabbit's 10 for my 7 next year.

I should have the time!

I do need more NRLF podcasts in my life. There is the official NRL one and OTL and everything else just seems to be Supercoach. And not a single one of those guys speaks with a Welsh accent. There is a gap in the market for this.

Rabs is in his own league, in many ways.

Is the Late Mail Crew one official? It's absolutely horrendous, whatever it is. The OTL one is actually not too bad, although they never sound drunk enough.

Hess wasn't getting passed the ball, was always the dummy runner.

Wonder if we will get some more of the YouTube vids spot the ozzie dude as well.
Usually a head of steam and ideas for a few weeks this time of year (before the inevitable crash)
Still entertaining and content is content

How do you get on these ‘official’ podcasts?
Can you pull out the fanatics L10 swag to get you into the party as a guest?
Anyone other than Milchow (Or PhilGouldsChin) been on one?

Would be interesting being in our bubble and seeing how different we approach things.
Do they have a 51minute party?

And his voice is like the Aussie version of Barry White. So soothing!

Creates the flow on effect of needing a translator. Job creation at its finest! Like verbal subtitles on a podcast

Official podcast is actually 2 podcasts in one, released twice a week

Chris Kennedy + others do one a week, and Late Mail Crew do another

A lot of the supercoach stuff is applicable to fantasy. if they are talking about rookies and/or increased roles for players then that is the same for any scoring system
Plus the scoring is similar enough that most of what they say is relevant. I don't listen to that many supercoach podcasts because I don;t have time, but I do put a few on during pre-season

I've not even been on the fanatics podcast, let alone an official one
