Haha, this is how it starts. I never actually said yes to survivor either. He had two buttons, something like a) hell yes b) I'm a pussy.

Pretty sure I clicked b.

I reckon it's like most websites: a) I want to receive marketing material b) I don't want to receive marketing material. Either way, guess what, you're getting marketing material.

Alright, I'm in. Also I'm a pussy.....

I have lots of questions, separate thread for this yet?

dm me any questions mate, will set up separate thread later as well!.

Is there a code yet?

Not yet mate, will set up league and send code in separate thread. As to not clog this up, infact I will set up the thread now and direct any queries there.

I probably like JFH more because his competition are more explosive low minute types (Leniu Leota) over Tamou and Offa (higher minute plodders)

I could be way off, but with Koro an 80 minute hooker, there's only going to be one other big minute guy at the Panfers (if any) and that could well be Yeo again. And JFH's stats can be ordinary. I think... I've lost my notes there, or probably forgot to save them! But from memory you think they're going to be better than they actually are.

Thumbs up -J Brailley and Twal

JFH and Koala/Hola/Angus are my other Mids

Brailey and Cook?

Is J Brailley 2021’s Koro? He’s less than half (48%) of Cook’s price and surely he averages well over half of Cook’s score. H

He won't average 60. But he doesn't need to.

Even before considering the additional average most hookers had last season with the quicker play and 6 again ruling meaning more tackles. Brailey is looking at a historical 44 average. 13 points above his starting price.

Add in the high attacking intent and quality in that Knight side with the new rules Brailey hasn't played under then you have potential for a 48-50 average minimum.

Alas not in this configuration. I did have them both but then I lose Munster. Just seems so much value in Watson, Brailley, and even Liddle (as long as he doesn’t break).

Depends what you want.

Cook priced as is but big 62+ average pretty much nailed on

Munster - potential value based on legacy average and potential for increased attacking involvement minus Smith 50-60 range

Brailey - VALUE, free $200k minimum

Twal and ah mau. I bet you have at least 2 other hookers.

Yeah, I think he averages maybe 45-50. But could be closer to 50.

I'm happy to call that Brailey will average 48+ after the first 10 rounds.

Draft league 2 needs a few more participants lads. Jump in and hopefully we can build a NRLFF draft league structure for futures

Petero mentions Pangai and Lodge being the leaders of the forward pack

Love Petero. Glad Kevy has got him back around the club.

From another article, the temptation to start Pangai will always try and suck me in lol

Pangai - “I played my last game at 121kg which was way too big for me, but I‘m down to 114kg, which is my playing weight when I play my best footy. I have watched what I ate and taken up some distance running. I did some boxing training and was running six or 10km so I‘m a lot fitter than I was last year. I can’t wait to get back playing again. It’s time to pay back the Broncos and their fans this year. I have made some mistakes and I want to change how I am perceived."

“I have to make the right choices now ... simple as that.”

my tv broke wrote:Little bit on Reece Walsh who is challenging Isaako at the Broncos

Scott Sattler - “He is a fully-fledged fullback and I believe he is good enough to be playing NRL this year.”

Broncos teammate Tevita Pangai Jnr described Walsh as a rare talent.

“Reece has had a crazy off-season and he will be one to watch this year,” Pangai Jnr said.

“Once he gets the balance of his game right, he is going to be special.

“He likes to attack on every play but when he gets that balance right, he will be brilliant.

“He is bloody tough, he stops a lot of tries at training so he‘s not afraid to put his body on the line.

“He has a huge future in the game.”


One to keep an eye on. Will play fullback on Friday night vs wynnum

Walsh highlights. Moves well. Kinda looks like a Drinkwater body shape with a bit more strength/explosiveness. Easy to look good in lower grades though, keen to see him have a run tonight.

If he were $600k I think I'd be all over him.
Just one of those guys that you know is capable of averaging 60+ if he gets his head right.

He could be a real handful with the new 6 again inside 20m - a quick shift from out wide against a disorganised defence and Pangai would be one of the hardest to stop you'd think.

Wonder, in Lodge's case, if he means pack leader as in plays 50 minutes with two hit-ups per set or pack leader as in has played more NRL games than anyone else.
