Chance of it being me tonight. I've absolutely unloaded on Winx so I'll either be celebrating or drowning my sorrows

Winx should kill them! I might have an each way on Storm the Stars in that one. I like Stay With Me too in R5 too

Haha, either him posting gay porn or firing someone up to the point of no return.

I'd actually have a sneaky tenner on Honeysett to lose the plot after a bake and bender one night.  A very well controlled individual who has the potential to go postal when enough is enough!

Haha if I'm smoking there's no chance of going postal, too friendly in that state. A night on the spiced rums is a different story.

hey guys. just a quick one as i want to sort out joining the leauges this weekend rather than leaving it late. do the codes get sent to your fantasy fantatics account or to your email account you registered with?

They will be sent to your fantasy fanatic account.

ATTENTION ALL MEMBERS OF LEAGUE 2: Please check your inbox for the L2 entry code as well as the NRL Fantasy Fanatics Overall Group entry code. Please join both Leagues ASAP.

Thankyou.

I hate to say it but like many others who have been burnt by Aubs before I think it could be a mistake not to run with him for round 1. As a 2RF who is available in the CTR position in Fantasy you really can't go too wrong. As you explained previously the only concern with Aubs while Cordner is out is if he shifts to the CTR's mid game due to an injury.

Okay that's it. Welcome to my team Mitchell Aubusson.

ONE OF US! ONE OF US!
In all seriousness though, Aubbs was never really a trap because he could be shifted to centres. Sure it has happened once or twice. His problem was being named to start and ending up on the bench, to the infuriation of coaches. I just think the Roosters have too many injuries atm, that there is no way Aubbs plays from the bench until Cordner returns (or possibly JWH with a shuffle), either way it should be a fair few weeks. They also have enough centre depth in Elliot and Mitchell that he will not become a centre (albeit against mid-game injuries, which were never that common). The funny thing is, because of the hoodoo- Aubbs will be a slight POD because of people who refuse to get on him because of superstition. But having superstition in something like fantasy football (or anything in life for that matter, but that is another rant!) is stupid. Aubbs is not your season keeper, but what he will do is make bulk points to start the season, and enough cash that by the time he is inevitably benched again- you can buy whichever high priced centre you want at that time.

Welcome to the fold.

All codes for L4 have been sent out

PM me if there are any troubles

Honeysett wrote:Don't know if it's been said here but Feeney has been confirmed to be starting at fullback for the Knights. He's a halfback playing fullback, so if he can get his positioning right and his catches under pressure he'll be really solid for us. He'll have good voice and control the guys in front of him well and he's got a fantastic face ball and long pass. He'll be a great foil for Mullen and Hodkinson if he stays there.

Going to be a good player for the Knights but don't see that translating to fantasy. He isn't that big for a fullback so won't have many tackle breaks. Will rely on kick defusals, run metres and ball playing for the bulk of his points. Not the kind of player I want in my 17 assuming the Knights are a bottom 3 team like everyone predicts

I've been running through some stats on players scoring above their avg at the end of last season looking at the last 5 games. Here's the list:
Josh Hodgson 55 (46)
Kevin Proctor 49 (45)
Cameron Munster 64 (43)
Gareth Widdop 59 (42) last 4 games
Anthony Milford 48  (41)
LAM 50 (44)
Carty 51 (40)
Jamie Lyon 53 (39)
David Klemmer 46 (40)
Jturbo 49 (39)
Nathan Friend 54 (38)
Jarrod Wallace 44 (34)
Justin Horo 41 (34)
Kane Evans 36 (31)
Paasi 41 (30)
Daniel Alvaro 53 (29) 3 games
Albert Vete 38 (28)

There are familiar names on this list, but also a few surprises.
Thoughts? What about Albert Vete?

Could be a market within a market for it being a Tigers fan.  Other notables:

GM is a fair shout at it.
Welshy after a bender and getting locked out of his house again by his Mrs.
Filth has the runs on the board.
DK if he ever sorts out his iPad login issues.
Mearcats with potential I reckon, bloke is surrounded by alcohol AND fuckwits.

Had forgotten all about that

All done, thanks all for the new site and leagues! I don't get to post much as busy trying to keep up with new posts, but really enjoy all the insights and insults. Anyone using a phone to virw the forum should try puffin browser, works a treat.

Cheers for setting this up.

Great job!

SI wrote:LEAGUE CODES FOR L3 AND THE OPEN LEAGUE HAVE BEEN SENT LADS


Don't forget to join both leagues straight after one another 

All joined and ready to rock! Thanks everyone for setting it all up, much appreciated. And best of luck SI in league 3

If I take out JRey promote Hastings and play Auva'a in the centres it allows me to upgrade Whitehead to Taupau and Hodgson to Seggy or would I prefer Merrin/Lichaa

Great work guys, joined both just now, much appreciated...now for the finishing touches for my team...

Leagues entered KFP. I would just like to thank SI & yourself for all the effort in setting the leagues up. You are both champions. Also thanks to all the individual league managers for administering your league.
I would thank Randomsil but "he ain't done shit"

Does your budget allow Hodgson, Merrin & Taupau mate but based on your options Merrin & Lichaa are the way to go.

The SuperCoach app is a piece of sh*t
