I seem to remember you destroying me by about 150pts and making the semis's of the Sportal eliminator?

If everyone was pleased with how I ran the Eliminator I will gladly do so again this year. I figure if I receive heaps of thumbs down from this post then Ill just leave it up to somebody else.

-everyone will have taylor, he's a must pick, but imo he will be a slow burner.
-jniko wont do anything. realistically pearce will miss 4-6 weeks of nrl.
-??

as its been said you pretty much have to nail all the right NPRs to build cash then fill with keepers.

Whos Taylor? He benefits from sezer leaving?

I wonder if SI is running with Fergo or refuses to pick him because he is a BHC.

Ashley Taylor (Had 1 game for the Broncos) and he was looking at partnering Elgey since Sezer left, now with Elgey injured he seems to be more of a lock at that position.

tbh taylor wouldnt have got a run with Roberts + Elgey at least for the first 6 weeks of the season.

taylor is a great young player but he will take some time to adjust to NRL.

i think they'll try to rely on roberts to do alot of the 7 role and ease taylor into FG

True.

So here is my thinking.

Soward for $270k - He may not make any money but he probably won't lose you any money either. He gets you your 35 a week.

Mean while your other cow are cowing, you get an extra $180k from there price rises, then you cash him in for another. Use the cash upgrade Soward who has remained steady for a gun at $450k.

Season won, lukeaye champ gimmie them monniez and wimmenz

Haha, I have him at the moment.  What about you?

I currently have Inglis, Fergo and Mansour as my back 3. Ran with a gun WFB to start the year a few seasons ago and it meant I didnt have to do much there till origin.

Ted/Ferguson/Gordon but that will change.

Seems that there's "value bands" in each position - in theory you should be able to pick any 2 players for a particular total cost and they'd be similar to any other 2 for the same cost, but I look at these pairings for example:

Surgess+Mansour vs KSims+Tedesco

and the first looks much more attractive. Seems that the 300k band in WFB holds more promise than the 300k band in FRF. Likewise, there's a good selection of halves in the 400-450k range that I'd consider, but no 2RFs in the same price range that stand out.

Howdy Gents!!! After falling off the radar a bit towards then end of last year due to work commitments etc, and now having to find you lot after the move from Sportal to fanatics, I am finally back!

Looking forward to getting my fantasy fix again and glad to see the familiar faces back for another round as well. Hope everyones Chrissy and New Year was fantastic.

Cheers Cuban. I'm in.

Got a team together yet lad? Ive forgotten are you in the socks up or socks down crew? Also most importantly where do you keep ya sauce? Fridge or Cupboard?

Someone gimme a rundown on this place... Where can I find a bye planner (if anyone has done one yet), leagues to join, threads to watch etc.

I haven't done a team yet, just returned to China after 6 weeks back home in Aus travelling all over the place without any reliable source of internet so only just getting back into the swing of things.

To be honest, couldn't care less about the sock situation... I'm all about stupid haircuts! You gotta haircut that looks like you've had a bad run in with a 80 year old barber suffering from Parkinsons while have a tourettes episode then you ain't gonna make my team! Alternatively, if you look like Molly the sheep who hasn't seen a barber in your life I'll struggle to find space for you as well.

As for the sauce, I make all of my own from scratch so it's always kept in the fridge brah!
