I joined this afternoon?

Ok Team TBA has been created with autofill for now, is there a tally of the leagues that still need teams to join for their Pass?
Otherwise I can go back and try to catch up on the thread i guess.

Ahhh shit, Storm playing Monday night footy!

Will have to find a new Captain to start the season!

Thinking of trying a different plan with some of my Nuffies this year. Normally the nuffies I pick will all be named in round one.
Last year Bird, Aiken, Coote just to name a few weren't name round one. I think I picked Bird but didnt pick Coote or Aiken, instead picking Lee and that Dragons winger (I forget his name). I made stuff all cash from those two and would have save two trades.
This year im looking at a few players who will hopefully get a run over Origin giving me an extra scorer in the bye rounds. Timu, Phillips, Griffen all come to mind.

Not seen him in one team, well maybe just one

Going to be massive this year is the Friz....

This was my auto filled team, must say I was surprised, could have been much worse.

The intelligent auto select actually appears to be getting intelligent.

All joined up @Random sorry it took me so long!

Do people think Parcell will get on opening gig at Manly ??? with Api, Buhrer and Hodges.

It almost certainly won't be Buhrer or Hodges at hooker.

There have been a few reports of Barrett talking up Parcell, so everyone assumes he'll at least be in the 17.

The annoying thing is that team lists aren't going to be a big help, because Koro/Parcell will almost certainly share time, but we need to see some games played before we make a decision.

IMO Parcell will start on the bench. Hopefully he can do a Granville and get a starting spot but I just dont see him getting massive mins with Koroisau there.

Thoughts on how your man Walker goes at 5/8? Koro for me will start with Parcell on the bench. The thing is they have a couple of good bigger utilities which might be more handy with the interchange rule though. If Walker doesn't pan out it could be Koro that goes into the halves (although he's a better hooker then half in my book). Unless they move Lyon.

I doubt Hodges is in the reckoning straight up.

Walks played his junior years as a 5/8 so its not new to him, I have a huge wrap on Koro and cant see these others challenging him for the first spot however in fairness I know little of Parcell.

Lussick also at Manly now along with JTurbo, Myles, Lawrence, Burgess, Starling

Does JTurbo still get those big end of season minutes this year?

Also

Who is the better reserve from this bunch..

Lawrence, NAS, Packer, Matagi, Pauli

Lawrence I'd say, followed by NAS. Pauli Pauli's role will be interesting though.

I would of thought Lawrence but a fair bit of competition at Manly now and he hasn't played in a while, think NAS has the highest score potential

Haha 10 people joined up today! Good effort!!

Only 4 spots left in Pandas League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen. League code = NDRMASE6
