Wonder how different your theory would be if you owned him.

However, I don't think Leniu is going to be a big minute player or a starting prop this year however good he is. He's at the moment best used as impact from the bench. But he'll still make plenty of money and would have got more than 27 minutes had he not injured both his leg and his shoulder during the game, as everyone else has told you.

I will be the first to admit that I have observational bias (as we all do to some degree). If a player is in my team, I am typically looking for confirmation of them getting the role that I wanted for them, (and trading them out if they don't get it).

Equally if I haven't picked a player and I am seeing the reasons that I didn't pick them being played out, like low minutes as expected, then that is typically the bias that I will have.

Its really funny how trading a guy in / out makes such a huge difference in your perspective of them and how you are hoping they will play in a game.

We really are hitting rock bottom for options if we want to make Matt the bad guy simply on the basis of “he can’t admit when he is wrong”. Does SI just set the bar way too high for likeability around here that this is the best we can do?

So it is with great pains and martyrdom that I have decided to take up this mantle. Gentle folk of the NRL fantasy fanatics forum, I shall be your villain! Fill me with your scorn, your ridicule. Feast upon my sorrow and tribulations. Let us entwine our wills unto each other’s misery henceforth.

Hark- It begins!

- If you have never had a top 20 finish, you are a terrible NRL Fantasy player.
- MTB’s site is unnecessary, I just get all the same stats on NRL.com lol.
- My pool is bigger than your pool.
- Milch’s contribution to the forum is overrated, his stats subpar.
- MITCH AUBUSSON IS UGLY

Jog on, peanuts.

Yeah you're all really biased. Explains why there are only a select few on here who understand just how good every Raiders player is.

I could buy you 3 times over and still have change for breakfast, so just crawl back into your holes.

Plus I once won a participation in U12s so I know all there is to know about the game

Go Tigers!

Bit of concern for Milford owners

Unrelated, Staggs been offered a contract by Titans for more money and he can play 5/8th if he wants

Even fewer understand that the truly great players don't translate to fantasy points, Thurston and Milford.

I get where Walters is coming from but who is he dropping them for. Ok there’s Dearden and uhh Paix? No point threatening the stick when you don’t have a stick and everyone knows it.

Also seems a bit of an overreaction. They probably beat the Eels without 3 injuries and a dubious video ref call. That was only 2 weeks ago.

The problem is Pookus you are dead-set funny whereas the original Rabbits (long may he be missed) was an arrogant Right-Wing shit stirrer.
His bragging was for real, he really did believe his shit didn't stink and that we were all cucks who deserved his scorn.
A true villain must actually believe they are the hero of the story.

Fuck people that aren't broncos fans must get sick of hearing about our shit.

Being the one club in Brisbane just means everything that happens is in the media daily. If we were just another Sydney club you wouldnt have to hear this all the time.

Poor ol Kevy is stuck in a situation where the last coach was a prickly personality with the media, so Kevy, as part of the "culture rebuild" is giving as much time as he can to media/fans/etc, but its just tiring to hear about tbh.

FWIW they'd just drop the one half for Dearden to come in. There isn't another option.
