The above post makes it the perfect time to make it official considering Milchcow's posting of BE's for us for close to a decade, way before the Fantasy site itself made them available. That along with his Team Planner, which was ahead of it's time and ridiculously helpful putting teams together pre season.

Ladies and Gentlemen, we give you our 4th Immortal-Milchcow.

Thankyou for everything you have done here and on Sportal Milchy

Also, any praise on my spreadsheets has to go back to guys like ArsenDragon (for the team planner) and Teetotaller (for the BEs) as I borrowed very heavily from them when I started putting them together. And they were very happy and willing to share their knowledge with me when I was asking questions.

I think in many respects my stuff is outdated compared to stuff like footystats and yafss but happy if my stuff can help people

Hey SI. Does the forum really have an official list of "Immortals"?

If it does, then Milchy is a worthy 4th addition to the list. But who are the other three?

As per Milchy's comments above, I would have to assume that Arsendragon and Teetotaler would have to be the first two Immortals, for all the amazing stats work they did on Sportal BEFORE any of the official fantasy sites started publishing BE's and predicted price changes. Is my assumption correct?

Who would be the other Immortal?

DK - foundation member of the fantasy thread on Sportal, and one of the best NRL fantasy coaches in virtually all forms for over a decade?

Your good self (SI) - for holding Sportal together in it's last year, and for playing a major role in getting this replacement forum up and running?

Random - was it him who handled the technical aspects of setting up this forum?

Someone else - who I have over-looked?

Some deadset Sportal royalty there ST, along with yourself as a Fantasy thread founder and the bloke who introduced the Leagues/SUG back in 2010.  This is based on the Fanatics forum contributions, but as you know, we have a very even balance of posters from back then and now   

We looked at using a similar rank-by-activity that Sportal had; so automating Newbie/Rookie/Member etc by post counts, but it had its challenges on this platform so haven't implemented it (the "challenges on this platform" being that I'm a lazy kent).

What we landed on was an objective post count/overall contribution.  So yes mate, we have an official Fanatics Immortals list and they have been inducted over the last 12 months:

1st Immortal: Welshy
2nd Immortal: Wolfie
3rd Immortal: MTB
4th Immortal: Milchy

Pretty special list right there and a few due soon!

I find it near impossible to trade out a bye player who is actually playing the bye. I wouldn't have traded Starling either. In fact I have him and I didn't   . Absolutely trading him this week though. I have Cook and Robson though, just trying to determine if Mahoney nice to have or must have. Agree there's a little bit of value there potentially.

Madge and I pretty tight as well...

Just wanted to say how much of a legend Milch is IRL too. When I started my sports tech company 2 years ago (now called Wicky & focusing on sports analytics) he offered to catch up in the city to do a podcast episode on his background with NRL Fantasy. Absolute legend and helped me kickstart the site when I barely had any ideas for content at the start. Thanks again Milch.

Here's the link to the episode for anyone interested!

My first read was 'family decisions'... and I thought 'woah' Milch wasn't there when I proposed !

Hunt won't play 17? But if you want him as your half to see out the season then go for it
