How long will that novelty last though?

Unless they are top 4 from the start, it will be hard to get people to buy in for the long haul.

An interesting approach may be to target the 8 to 14 year old audience. If you can get kids interested then you will get their parents taking them to games. It worked for the BBL where they fill the gabba for Heat games

That seems like what GWS Giants did in Sydney too. Just smashed the schools with programs, free tickets etc. and playing the long game of building the fanbase up from kids and hoping they stick with it

As a non-active poster but an avid reader on this site I thought I would take the opportunity as the season comes to a horrid end (not sure I expected any better) to thank everyone that regularly contributes and everyone that is happy to help out. This is an awesome community keep up the good work & good luck if you were lucky enough to make it through to your final

Nice words,

This is why I have no issue with players doing what’s best for themselves.

Taken for granted type of player. Where is he off to ?

But Grant and Friend have the ability to pass it forward without being noticed

I guess it is a legitimate and advantageous tactic these days. Mahoney could be throwing them forward more often.

The bulldogs tried this approach in Port Macquarie earlier in the year.
I hope Redcliffe try a different approach.

Tristan Sailor told by Dragons he's not part of their plans next year according to Danny Weidler

Captain Haas this week. Got 16 players (unless Williame plays, then it'll be 17!)
Went from 2350 to 3050 last week so hoping to creep back into the top 2.5k.

This week's stats article looks at the changes in the game due to the new rules - which positions have been impacted, penalties v ladder position & importance of possessions/completions: https://sporttechdaily.com/our-insights/your-edge-round-20/

If you're interested in tryscorer odds/draftstars, we've added another feature for 'Edge' where you can filter by column headings. Think it was @milchcow that recommended this. So you can see all the best 'value' bets for the weekend:

They kept it at 30 but reduced the cap by 10%

Asi and Averillo are on my shortlist for next season.
I might even start with Turbo, go along for the ride until the first injury hits. Fogarty will also be under consideration, the Titans should have plenty more attacking stats next season

thoughts on crichton for captain? starting lock am i insane? so quiet around here these days

Assuming you've got nothing to play for, could be a great POD pick. With so much unpredictability this round, think the most important thing to do is to lock in your vice captain as someone you'd be happy with being your captain. Most teams should have two of haas, cleary, ponga, mcinness etc.

Plays edge but usually see someone like Lindsay collins standing out there as he is always at marker.. Loves to get involved

Fitting that I end the year with no centres
