He legit Captained Nutcher?  Slightly better than his Sexton C call mind you, but still average as fuck.

Why not just wait until it’s confirmed. If it’s a serious injury he would have obviously had scans which will be posted by club

Club forums are not a source

Because they might keep it on the down low and not say anything this week. I know Souths have done this before.

Sometimes on club forums some have inside contacts and they nail it. The perception is they’re often wrong but that isn’t necessarily the case.

Please tell me this is true!

Fair play to Butters, he is ranked 575 despite some dubious decisions, so actually having a pretty good season so far. Yet to save a single trade though, gonna hurt him on the back end.

And sometimes they are full of shit….. not sure regurgitating everything that gets speculated on these unofficial sources adds much but each to their own.

I prefer to wait for a legitimate source before jerking my knee

Starling to McInnes looks solid.

Got Fermor but he's really not an urgent out.

Thinking of taking a punt on the Frizz to run me home

That's all I've come up with.

Me too. Him and Mahoney potentially the ins for me this week

Might be my only trade.

Nutcher and Eutcher are not exactly the most free flowing name combos going around

Can someone explain the Mahoney love to me? be 49, averaging 49, priced a little above that.

Is it just a case of need a hooker who plays rd17 and does what it says on the box? Or a case of hoping for former pedigree to shine through, despite a 12 game 2022 sample to the contrary?

Jazz to Dylan Brown. Lock it in Eddie!

I like him too but not until Round 17. One injury to the forward pack in NSW and he's in the 17

Yeah the first part for me. With Starling needing to go Robson will be my only hooker. Last 6 games have been consistent

Adds a Little spice to the transaction & even if he does get a call it’s one game. Jazz probably needs to go for me this week so would rather just the one trade….mmmm

Always with the super POD captains - imagine the gloating if they paid off!

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?
