I haven't left any of the leagues I subscribed to which start today as I didn't want to screw up the league and have it start with 15 teams. (and obviously want to be part of 'Panda's League of Extraordinary Gentlemen'!)

But the leagues which start in 22 days I have left, giving the league commissioner plenty of time to fill the spot.

The leagues I have left and now have 1 new spot available are:



bullbender's league
ms + 15 plebs
random
boom league

That's really poor form mate, it's not like you have to check your matchups in each league. Leagues are ranked and these guys could now end up with someone in their league who won't make a trade all year, if you were going to do it you could have given more than a few hours notice.

Same thinking from me.

1 or 2

1 Taupau + Copley
2 Ah Mau + Leilua

Anyone want to join a league with this years winner? All welcome YLMY6PDR

if anyone needs to fill a league, let me know. happy to join a few more as i'm not really in any other than the fanatics ranked league and one with a group of friends.

2 for me but not much in it

Good points regarding Tedesco whoever mentioned it. With all the chopping + Changing in the Tigers spine it might not be worth it. Probably shooting myself in the foot though by not picking him now. Squad looks a lot better without spending $500K on a FB

tigers and titans to cause upsets in rnd 1. whos with me

I can see the Titans doing it.

If The Tigers do it then one of the biggest upsets ever lol.

Surely not...

Why no talk of Hymel Hunt? Based on his 3 scores last year, he should score around 28 give or take. This would represent a price rise of around 80-100k. Obviously Auva'a sniffing around, but if you go with Hunt and Auva'a is named as a late starter, you can do the switch. People assuming Auva'a will get the nod in a couple of weeks. Why? They've had all pre-season to impress and obviously Hunt has done that. I'm backing him to keep his spot. Madge obviously rates him.

Also, have people gone cold on Lafai? He averaged 44 in 2014. If you're picking Mansour for his 2014, you'd be mad not to pick Lafai based on the same principle.

If you are 100% sure that they DON'T lock out today (even though they start in 22 days) then that is forgiveable-but you should also PM the Commissioners mate.

Because Auvaa bashed his mrs and he's still in the squad, that's why.

I like this logic.  Just not sure if they go down Lafai's side as much is all.

Ive got 75 k left over and not sure if i should just save it for week or 2 or just spend it. Would love to fix my centres but 75k doesnt cut it. Could go LAM to guerra, havent seen him mentioned much but so many roosters already. Woods to bromich? Wade to surgess? Brains fucked!

Pretty sure you haven't read my post correctly, any team league that starts today (I. E in "a few hours") I have NOT left. For exactly the reason you are talking about.

So if I downgrade Ferguson to Mann which will give me Gordon, Barba, Mann I can upgrade Lichaa (I have Smith) to anyone I want & the one I prefer is Macca rather than Sege or Peats. Macca is like having a lock in your side as he'll make 50+ tackles.
(a) Mann & Macca or
(b) Ferguson & Lichaa or
(c) Just downgrade to Mann & keep the cash
Thoughts & thanks.

I have handcuffed Auva'a and HHunt in my team. That seems to be the only way you'll get Auva'a in handcuffs these days.

Word is Littlejohn's playing hooker for the Tigers, Cherrington bench, CLaw 5/8th (!)

Speedball left running scared so need one more pleb for my league
