2022 NRL FANTASY LEAGUES REGISTRATION - CLOSING SOON

******* All League invites including latecomers have now been sent. If you registered but haven't received an invite, now's the time to speak up *******

Attention lurkers! If you still want to join a league please register your interest, there *may* be a couple of spots left. Spots will be allocated on a first come first serve basis but *cannot* be guaranteed at this late stage.

My bad - If there is no room I'm happy just to be in the overall but sent my details in the thread - hope there is still a spot

This Cleary news is a win for those of us who didn't spend weeks tinkering with their teams lol. We all start from close to zero now.

NFI who I'll switch to, probably just go down the list order by most expensive and see who has the best picture.

Looking at the draw... I may opt for Mahoney as my captaincy option for the first few weeks.

Yeah I saw it, you and KevH added to reserves, should be a spot hopefully.

Nah, will just be 2 or 3 players different. We have the research to know who we wanted next in line.

Looking much easier to balance the team without Cleary, so works for me.

Yea mate they lock out

The Cleary news, while annoying, is actually great for Fantasy - it makes team selections and Capt. choice more vital.
The one player I have been worried about missing is Pappy - welcome to the Bludgers champ. 
I'll deal with Cleary when he returns and shows that he's back.
DCE is a pretty handy back-up.

I don't tend to pay much attention to weather conditions in regards to fantasy, but it can't be understated how much it has rained and still raining in Sydney the last two weeks. Obviously the modern football ground is amazing in drainage, you don't get mud baths anymore, but I can't see how grounds are not somewhere between "very damp underfoot" to "greasier than a pimply teenagers face". It's going to be a weekend for kicking long and hard tackles and yards in the middle. Turbo will probably only score 85 or so.

Id had made up my mind not to start with Cleary before this news and had settled on captain Haas.

@mattnz 
You keen to join my Fantasy League?
I'd be interested in seeing how my Bludgers go against your sub-guns POD moves.
Code is: SV6D5WNW

Whats the weather like in QLD and ACT?

Sure, joining now

If Papy is named with Cheese at 13, Cleary cash allows me to get Grant, Papy and 65+ minute Mann.

TEAM NEWS: Cam Murray (who had same shoulder surgery at same time as Nathan Cleary) WILL play.

And @SSFCRABBITOHS teammate Taane Milne looks set to win spot on right wing from Josh Mansour

I was pretty set on going without Cleary so a little disappointed but also less likely to have a stroke at 930pm Thursday night..

Mostly posting to ensure the P51 party. What’s the theme?

Hmmm, could be a last minute switcharooni with Paulo back to his old wing and Milne CTR. Were rumblings of it last week.

Going on 4 seasons now I think

Milne is also beyond worse at ctr than anything Paulo showed in the trials lol
