Thats actually my boss haha, ill let him know. Hopefully Blackwinx pulls his finger out and joins up too

any further info on the fantasy tshirt talk here ?

Anyone can join, it is linked on the main page of www.footystatistics.com

Its hacked together very quickly so it is kind of best suited for us here on the forum to add some banter for the finals/etc (and I can fix peoples problems as they happen). But yeah no worries if anyone joins.

Sounds good mate, appreciate it.

That's weird, I will have a look. What browser/OS are you using ?

The team auto saves after every change you make, so you don't need to lock anything in specifically, unless there is a problem haha..

EDIT can you try it now ?

EDIT found the problem, it was the apostrophe in team name breaking a query.  Rather than correctly sanitize the query I've just removed apostrophes from team names again

Whoever signed up as "burner" would have had the same probelm haha

Are you suggesting we missed a chance to use Bobby Drop Tables as a team name.

Going without Teddy and Cleary I should know very quickly how I'll go in this comp

Lussick
Klemmer (c), JWH
Bateman, Murray, Fitzgibbon
Moses, Keary
JMorris, Lee
Pappy, To'o, Best

As someone who ran JWH for 10 rounds this year I firmly advise against it.

Lussick
RGB, DSaifiti
NBrown, Kikau, BSiro
Cleary (C), Tracey
Best, Crichton
Edwards, Hughes, CGraham

I'm not posting my team - can't jeopardise my victory + t-shirt

Not sure how I feel about this team. A few players I haven’t seen in other teams.

Cappy Api
Klemmer Papa
Barnett Brown Murray
Arey G.Williams
Blake Croker
Pappy CNK Kennedy

Yeah I picked a few BOOM players, lots of TBs I hope. I tried to fit Teddy in too, but it messed up the balance.

NRL Fans Poll Team of the Year

Koro
Papalii Haas
Kikau Lolo Matto
Cleary (c) Keary
Crichton Staggs
Nofo Teddy BMoz


I feel like everything there is somewhat reasonable except Haas, which is a pure stats/fantasy selection IMO. I don't think he was in the top 10 props this year - team circumstances obviously didn't help

Other one is Lolo I guess - definitely the best lock in the world, but purely on 2020 not sure you can say that

I am trying to base my team by going a bit bigger up front as these guys have the better base. Think Api (60), Papa (53.9), Klemmer (54.6), Murray (53.9), Barnett (57.1 at lock), Brown (54.), Arey (54.9 non injury), G.Williams (50.2 non injury).

All these blokes have a good floor but also a pretty decent ceiling. The centres I pretty much went the cheapest blokes who will play the game and can score decently. Then my WFB’s I went Papy and CNK who I think can score the same Ponga and Teddy, especially in a finals environment and I went Kennedy for my last WFB as he was 281K and could be doing a lot of running out of his own half.

I thought the same... I think it was very popularity based. Based on 2020 form alone I had Paulo over Haas. I also didn't think Keary had a good year at all. I feel in many games he was overshadowed by Flannagan... actually most games. I think Wighton/Luai had better 2020 campaigns. Kikau was also a bit meh. I think Yeo had a better year or Martin was outstanding. Bmoz I feel missed too many games through injury. I would've have Katoa there.

Just IMO

Yeah I'd have a lot of FRFs over Haas - got through a tonne of work but he just didn't have as much impact in attack, and his defense can be suspect. I think he was run into the ground and there's a reason FRFs usually play 55-65 mins.

Keary had some moments but I'd probably Wighton/Luai over him too.

Kikau I'll defend - the left edge with Crichton was pretty unstoppable. I still don't think any teams can defend the bomb to that side even now.

Wingers I have no opinion on ever hahah

But I will say the fans pool side was way better than the players poll team in May, which seemed to be based on who had been good in the last week... I think it had 7 Roosters.

Kikau has been honestly "underrated" this year. If you look at Crichton's tries he scores untouched 6 or 7 times just because of Kikau running a brilliant decoy

I say underrated that way because he's not an underrated player overall but his effect on Crichton has been underrated
