Most people when feeling down look to me for inspiration.  They then realise they could be worse at Fantasy so all is not lost.  It's a gift 

Since Gurgess is out round 1 my starting team will be...

Bmoz
Nightingale
Nofoaluma
Chambers
Linnett
DCE
Austin
Merrin
Tolman
Peats
Mannering
Gillett
Harris

If Bmoz is out Ill switch Vatuvei in. When Gurgess gets back Ill probably switch Merrin back to 2RF and drop either Gillett or Harris.

Mate, I remember destroying the opposition in the first 4 or 5 rounds last year; then all the injuries and suspensions hit and I couldn't get back into a good position.  The opposite could happen is what I'm saying I guess.  Even if you start slow it's a long season and the business end of the year is what counts.

Reason why I picked up Turgess in case Gurgess goes down. Have JThompson who generally scores low 40's as a 5th 2RF also in case things go pear shaped.

I'm not giving up................ I'm just lulling you all into a false sense of security !!  

You picked up Turgess in case Gurgess goes down and yet still have Nightingale and Linnett???

T. Burgess out with syndesmosis. Looks like you bet on the wrong brother going down. At least you have G. Burgess come Round 2.

Check both their scores from last year and the year before talking them down, they are both pretty damn consistent for their position. Considering where I picked them I did well IMO. Nightingale averaged around 40 or so in 2014 IIRC. Either way I focused more on solid consistent scoring forwards rather then backs whose scores go up and down like a yoyo.

I have Tolman, Gurgess, Tamou and Turgess for my FRF also I can switch Merrin there from 2RF if need be. In my 2RF I have Mannering, Merrin, Gillett, Harris and Joel Thompson. Enough depth there in case injury strikes.

Turgess is out for 6 weeks so may need that cover early.

Tolman + Merrin FRF with Gurgess and Tamou in the wings.

Solid enough for my liking. Mez in my side too, unsure how he'll go yet.

No need to post the finished draft results, will just post divisional match-ups for Round 1.

Ive had a look over the teams and im very comfortable with my side. Everyone probably think theres is the best side But I reckon im right up there.

Sauce Reed & Medical Ward in my oppinion has drafted very well and sorry KFP but you are my early favourite for the spoon

I cant wait till we verse H2H, should be an easy win for you then?

Hahaha, loving the banter already and the games haven't even begun yet!

I just have to finish inside the top 6. Bottom 2 from L1 are demoted. Top 2 from L2 are promoted, pressure is on in L2 for sure. I expect BL to be demoted, his team is average at best.

Haha Bring It Kent.

Only 1 spot up for promotion up for grabs in L2, Great Oden's Ravens got the other locked up

Shouldn't be looking to just avoid the bottom 2 in L1 should be backing your team to take out the whole comp!!

Come on the Ravens!!

@Random

loved that write-up on L1 Round 1 match-ups

will do the same for L2 when i get a spare 10 minutes in work! haha

Bring on the Bants
