Depends what you mean by cheapie. Looking at 450-600 players, the forwards with a shot of becoming 750k players due to age/improvement/ability are EKatoa, Tino, Rudolf, Radley Tupounuia. Barely been discussed other than Tino and he's the only one in any of my squads because of other, cheaper options with more cash-generating certainty in the forwards but I'd expect at least one of the others to turn gun this year.

Backs have been fully discussed. TTrbo, Holmes etc in the WFBs. Debates over Brooks, Morgan, CHT, Lam, Milf in the HLFs.

Not sure about the criteria for your original list. Best and Grant weren't mid-rangers last year. Neither, at the other end, was Harris.

Have adjusted my original post, categorising players that took the leap to gun keeper. Harris started last season priced with a BE of 47, and finished with an average of 60, moving him from below gun keeper to top tier forward.

Have to admit i have warmed up on Egan a little.

It does have a bit of a Levi 2020 vibe though..

He entered the potential list over the weekend. Well down it but he's an absolute spud and I can't bare to watch him with any enthusiasm. Can't have them all and I'll likely pass

Spending plenty of minutes in the middle helped Harris become a top tier forward. Best example would have to be Yeo? I think he moved from edge to middle aswell.

I still think if B Smith gets maybe 50 mins at lock and maybe 10 at hooker he could push into that gun category

Havent had a crqzy deep dive yet, and still havent even pit together a complete team.

Anyone have a list of cheapies and mid priced guys that are sort of in considerations and I can work from there?

I still think Radley is 10 points underpriced at least. I am just struggling to fit him in with all the other value in the forwards

Cheers for the noice list @Chewie
I'm tossing up Ofah and/or Leota to add minutes in the middle, or is there too much value elsewhere?
Also, with Cordner out for a chunk of the season, what do we all think of Sitili Toupo as an edge?

you're welcome, there are a fair few other guys who are underpriced too, and TLT will add a few more.
guys I think that should be in everyone's team are: JBrailey, Watson, LAM, Lodge, Lam, Averillo, and Ttrbo

If anyone has seen the Sea Shanty memes from over in the UK, its brilliant

You need the song in your head to sing along to the shanty i decided on making this morning in work haha. Can add verses because i could go on for hundreds of verses to cover everyone here lol but had to stop somewhere and was all in good fun.

Hope you enjoy



There once was a man, great as he
Who created fantasy stats for us to see
His name was juzzy and his intentions were free
But please visit his site and send mead

Soon may the fantasy man come
With meters in the form of kick and run
One day, when the assists get done
Fiona, will take her leave and go


A second man come, with a bright idea
To form a site from the old sportal smear
He tried real hard to welcome us all
But a few had views too small

Soon may the fantasy man come
With meters in the form of kick and run
One day, when the assists get done
Fiona, will take her leave and go

Along came a cow, a whizz on the sheets
Aiding all the locals with great fantasy heat
Followed by a herd a real nice flock
Including the number 1 softcock

Soon may the fantasy man come
With meters in the form of kick and run
One day, when the assists get done
Fiona, will take her leave and go

The fanatics were born from sweat and beer
Along with some add ons from far and near
They talk some shit and the blows are low
But it’s the only place that I go

Soon may the fantasy man come
With meters in the form of kick and run
One day, when the assists get done
Fiona, will take her leave and go

Onto the game and what will it bring
An 80 minute hooker and new fantasy king
Ghost TBs, and strips can go to hell
A’ shitty fullback season from Latrell’

Soon may the fantasy man come
With meters in the form of kick and run
One day, when the assists get done
Fiona, will take her leave and go

Will Haas start start R1, will he end up in jail
I’m betting on Milford as a fantasy fail
Will Izzy join the NRL with his views on cock
Will Connor Watson start at lock (huh)

Soon may the fantasy man come
With meters in the form of kick and run
One day, when the assists get done
Fiona, will take her leave and go

Two gun halves, or one and cow
Please fantasy gods will you show me how
Start with Teddy and his shit 2 rounds
Or miss his hundie on the Sydney cricket ground

Soon may the fantasy man come
With meters in the form of kick and run
One day, when the assists get done
Fiona, will take her leave and go

Do you start picking now or wait til TLT
Do you wait for the trials for a nice rookie
Are you on draft 1, or draft number 3
How do you rates Rabbits draft number 40?

Soon may the fantasy man come
With meters in the form of kick and run
One day, when the assists get done
Fiona, will take her leave and go

Now this was the tale of fantasy fun
Do you start with cows, or middies or guns
Listen to the pros with their stat on stat
Or fail the POD route with Matt

Soon may the fantasy man come
With meters in the form of kick and run
One day, when the assists get done
Fiona, will take her leave and go

OMFG!

Outstanding mate. Haha, have at me if you want. I'm too lazy to give it back.....or am I? Probably!

Haha, totally not covid related, right? How's it going over there?

All good mate, numbers dropping now so hopeful of some eased restrictions in the next few weeks

Just want the outdoor sports back as a main for me to keep me sane haha

Don't hate me, I had a go when I should be in bed......

Along came a guy you all know it seems,
My first time on here he gave a warm greeting,
A wealth of knowledge despite a poor ranking,
His name is of course, Welshy!

Soon, now, the new season comes,
To separate, the winners and bums,
Soon, now, it’all be done,
Let’s work out next year’s leagues!

Welshy is cool, he’s not a cock,
Would never be caught in a lewd Tik Tok,
His Englishness we all like to mock,
How do you say: Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch

Soon, now, the new season comes,

I enjoyed it @Welshy geez you’re talented at writing and poetry! 

My goodness it’s great mate. It’s that bloody good.
