I don't think he's going to be a regular moving forward. He joined the Dragons in 2007, and I don't remember him being established at the Roosters prior.

There's a couple of players I'm keen on that turn up later this year that you would no doubt remember. Don't think either of them has been mentioned, maybe one of them.

I would have been close to starting with Steven Bell if I had a team in this comp, and he's started well, but might be too late to bring in now.

Do you feel like 2006 is already starting to pass you by?

Are your creative POD selections failing to get the acknowledgement they deserve?

Do you want the chance to outshine Verbal in a Fantasy based comp?

Do you have what it takes to be crowned the 2006 POD King and Champion of Champions?

Well here it is, the ultimate POD championship:
*In this competition All POD's are players with less than 10% ownership (i.e. 2 teams or less own them)

 You get 1 point for every POD you play in your 17.
 You get a bonus point for every unique POD you have (i.e. you are the only owner).

The top POD player scores are ranked each week and win points based on their scores relative to their priced average.
I.e. a player priced at $300K has a priced average of 20. If they score 30 points, they are 10 points over... this is so cows have as much chance of winning a round as a POD gun.
Top overs score as follows:
1st place: 10 points
2nd 7
3rd 6
4th 5
5th 4
6th 3
7th 2
8th 1
You also get a bonus point for each unique player you own that makes the top 8.

You lose points for owning the worst performing PODs:
4th last -1
3rd last -2
2nd last -3
Last place: -5 points


Gone a different route and not bought Cam Smith?
You get a point for not owning of popular players (greater that 67% ownership).
For Round 1 this was anyone who didn't own Cam Smith or Greg Inglis

This isn't a new comp, it will be run on your existing team each week! (So you don't need to do anything!)
I've run this on Round 1 so far, and think it could be an entertaining comp (I'm running 2nd last after the first round).
Give me a thumbs up and if there's enough interest I'll get this going and try to release a score up date each day so we're caught up ready for R5 & R6 this weekend.
Or let me know what you think!

Steven Bell what a gun...now I've changed my trades to get him into my team plus I get more cash doing these set of trades. Going for gun/cow trades.
Dallas Johnson out - Steven Bell in &
Brent Sherwin out - Tame Tupou in

Leaves me with 74k bank. Purtell can just rot in my npr's & I was going to bring in Todd Carney but I think him starting will only be temporary. I notice Woolford is injured & the usual half Withers is playing hooker allowing Carney to start in the halves.
This will give me a great back 5 - Gasnier, Bell, GI, El Masri, Brett Stewart.

I know their father Bernie, never met Henry but played with & against Marcus through the grades. I remember when Marcus made the squad for the Eels the boys & I couldn't understand why because he wasn't that great a player. But I think Bernie had the contacts to get both his boys a shot & they took it so good on them.

It's weird looking back isn't it? A couple of lads I went to school with and played with and against are playing first grade in 2006. The younger brother that I didn't have much to do with is a regular first grader and the older brother makes his debut this year.
