NRL Fantasy 2024 Part 1 - Gates are open, come on in

Just brilliant!

Life is very different here - remarkably poor country with lovely people, beautiful countryside, incredible beaches, and some really challenging encounters. Food is ordinary, traffic is fine, internet is poor, language is going to be manageable to learn. Prices around the same as country NSW for most things.

2 larger kids very happy in the new school, smallest kid getting on well with the nanny. Compound life is a bit weird, but great gym, squash courts, playground, social life etc.

Haven't had a change to dive, fish or mountainbike yet (lots of bugs going around), but it feels like its a great outdoor hobby town.

Come visit, I'll shout you a few beers and we can go diving! Think of Timor as a similarly-cheap much-less-luxurious-and-clean-and-organised version of Bali and you're pretty much on the money.

[invitation extended to all NRLFF folk, except @Snatchpato who knows what he did. Shame! Shame!


nah, kidding. All welcome)

Trindall a gut pick?

You could be right. I might not make sense to have both Trindall and Hynes.... Thought I remembered he scored well even with a dominant half last year. Probably one of the weaker picks

I believe you.

Can put up you and your incredibly forgiving fiancee for a couple of weeks while you get hired at Dili International School. Nice team there at the moment - very happy staff room.

In return, I require a suitcase full of icepacks and cheese - equal volumes.

Lots of picks that can't be confirmed till they actually get named in the position of interest so this will certainly change.

Thinking about spending some money in my centres this season on some guys who I think could be a little undervalued. Kiraz an option there if he gets ctr DPP as well. Last season I spent more trades than I wanted to in centres for minimal profit (Alamoti, HSS) and would rather take a punt on cheaper wfbs and mids. Looking for this year's Gagai.


Broad strategy is targetting r13 players from the start, and looking to pickup Hynes r6.

Backing Kini to win the fullback spot over Campbell?
Rumours Critter will remain a center with Taffe or Tracey taking the Fullback spot would mean Xerri isn't a guarantee for a spot..

Would love clarity on whether Lussick has the starting spot and isn't splitting significant minutes with a bench utility. I lean towards lower minutes but looking forward to seeing how it plays out in the preseason.

if 1 of lussick or hands starts with no hok/utility on the bench lock him in but if both are in the 17 then pass...there seems to be arguments for both a lot of content creators favour lussick to start but on the eels forum they favour hands as he's a better ball distributor from dh...in other words i have not answered your question
