2016 NRL.com Fantasy Thread Part 6

Found this old gem from Filthridden regarding the fanhub focus group and the cheating scum Panda. Not our wonderful loving Bren (KFP) Still cracks me up!

*Address changes 2hours before focus group, only some coaches are aware of this.
*All beers are full price except one priced at $0. Some coaches take advantage and get hammered. By the time other coaches are aware, the beers price has been changed back to full price.

*For no apparent reason, some coaches input on the night is deemed invalid and is not recorded at all.

*coaches come in and sit on a variety of chairs. Panda turns up late and complains to fanhub that he actually arrived first and claimed the comfiest chair. The coach in the comfy chair is asked to move and Panda is allowed to sit down in his place.

*fanhubs entire focus group is based on AFL.

Yep, that was tragic, we had that game in the bag.

The year before wasn't any better either when the Black Pearl was taken out early by Lamb.

We were a good chance of winning that one too if it wasn't for that.

Someone put a curse on us back then!!

I think we're still cursed
Nice choice of Avatar

Theres been no talk and no mention of RCG. McKendry not here either. That's both predicted FRF's not available for this game meaning Merrin to the front row and a massive shuffle of the forward pack by Griffen

@MightyFishes - can you add a note or something to that post so people realize it was Renegades Panda and not myself who cheated. I copped it left, right and center at the time when people thought it was myself who cheated.

as per the updated predictions on the previous page RCG has a shoulder injury but is expected fit for round 1 but McKendry may have just been dropped cold.

Slater + Aubusson + Luke

or

Moylan + CLawrence + Lichaa

If you must run with only those players it is the second option for mine.

Looks like ET, Yeo and Peachey are trialling for 1 starting backrow spot with Merrin and Cartwright already confirmed as the other 2 so don't need minutes there

Surely ET starts and Peachey comes on for impact.

Is Merrin confirmed at Lock though or are these guys trialing for that spot as well? The way i see it ET only really adds value if he starts and plays at lock, he doesn't suit been on the edge and again he wont add much off the bench.

Cheers lad, much appreciated.

There's a few strange one's in those predicted team lists it makes me wonder if they are just pulling names out of a hat. Better off not reading it I think.

i'm almost certain i read an article a week or two ago about elijah taylor playing on the right edge this year (tho maybe i was dreaming)

i agree it makes zero sense, but its griffin..

EDIT he defended on the right in the last trial

they literally are in some cases. i don't bother reading them. those articles are suited to less serious players, imo.

Yeah the predictions really come from left field I don't know what to think of some of them. Probably just cutting and pasting the trial teams then adding any missing stars

There back row has so much football potential even if Merrin plays prop, personally I'd rather see Peachey than ET playing in the middle. He offers more in attack.

IF taylor does play right edge i think thats great news for merrin's minutes (and tackle count) in the middle
