Who is it?

Tom Waterhouse.

2013 he paid Channel9 a gazillion to plug his online bookie service. Channel9 being the shit cunts like they are started using the entire 30 minutes STRAIGHT AFTER the Friday night game to talk with him and plug it. So straight after full time the Rugby League was completely dismissed and Rabs and Sterlo and him sat around talking about horse racing for half an hour. Absolutely shameless. Within a couple of weeks pretty much the whole of Australia's NRL supporter base had turned on him and the segment was goneski's.

He is also just a fucking annoying cunt who smiles constantly.

Been looking at Mbye - he really stank it up to end the year

Last 4 scores were 19, 15, 40, 9. Then a 12 and a 16 in the finals.

Wasn't subbed in any of those games. Up until that point he'd been averaging just over 40 in the halves, then 6 games of tripe.

Anyone remember what caused that - Dogs won 5 of those 6 games.

Hodkinson and Reynolds were in and out at that stage, do the scores coincide with Hodkinson taking KMs? Also, from memory, Mbye ended up in the centres once or twice through injury just before or just after a game or 2 started I think. I think that was earlier in the season though.

Actually Josh Reynolds average score when paired with Mbye in the halves is a touch under 47 points. He is a much better option than Mbye is (until he has a brain snap and gets a 12 week suspension)

Josh Reynolds...Ssshh

love the look of that lad! I would dump JT for Arey and chuck the cash onto J turbo or Rochow

Solid looking team but those rookies that are going to fill spots 15,16,17 are going to get you fuck all points!

Not sure about the 2RF, but should have enough rookies to fill spots and there is some cash left over.

Going to load up on forwards for my main team, but just had a mess around getting gun HKRs, WFBs and CTRs for my wife's team and looking for underpricings elsewhere and came up with something that'll probably beat my own:

CS9, Segeyaro
JTrbo, Tamou, N A-S, 130
Rochow, Tapine, Lane, JEdwards, 134, 130
DCE, Hastings, Taylor, 130
JRoberts, Lawrence, Avuua, 130
Tedesco, RTS, GI, Gutherson, 130

$1k change so they have to be 130s not 134s

Thought it would have been the other way around, Mbye scoring better standing next to Reynolds. I got stung big time by Reynolds in 2014, not sure I could bring myself to pick him, but yeah, at the price and with what you are saying, he should be a very good mid ranger.

Anderson wont get a game unless there are injuries or possibly during the origin period.

Ennis has always been a mid-tier 80 minute Hooker and is priced quite expensively. I would look elsewhere for your second Hooker.

Again not sure how I feel about Matulino.

All the Reynolds talk has gotten to you it seems.

Not keen on the Chris Lawrence/Lewis Brown Combo?

when i glanced at Ennis back end to the season i thought his scores looked much higher than at the start of the season, on second glance the final 10 games he avg 45...his season avg idiot!

Reynolds playing 80 again with no hodgko is a viable option he could easily get back to avg 45 a game mate

jamie buher or lewis brown to get 80min in the manly pack. Tapau at lock and possibly both buher and brown starting alongside him. if that is the case there is some value for one of those guys.

possibly lewis brown to serve time in back row before relieving hooker for 20 minutes or so. looks like a pretty poor chance for those wanting parcell to get a bench spot with lewis brown in your team.

You know Matai's going to be out half the season, which would mean Brown to centre (they still have Mateo/Symonds/Leary in 2RF depth) or maybe Walker to centre with Api/Parcell sharing 6 and 9. Either way from the noises coming from Barrett Parcell should be getting minutes, but the first 17 should be interesting.

Yeah, as rhinoceroo just said, Brown is probably the first bloke to end up in the centres. They are light on genuine centres Matai/Lyon/Walker with 1 of the last 2 more than likely at 5/8. LeBrown will be a great pick if there are no centre injuries/suspensions/drug overdoses. I've got a soft spot for Buhrer and have had him at some stage every year. Will see how rd1 looks.

Soward hasn't been fantasy relevant for a while but any reason behind his poor run of scoring between rounds 15-22 his high score was 29...

23 21 28 27 15 24 28 29 PTS
162 205 288 64 139 160 205 271 KM


his km never went about 300, any reason his km output has well below what he normally produces?
Will having Wallace back help him? at only $268,000 i think he could be a decent mid range half option?

Last year my 2 early "get on" predictions were Milf and Lodge. 1 lost 100k plus before i sold him and the other one is in jail. Surely it gets better 2016.
