Anyway can’t wait for them to spend all of the money on whatever FB they want to replace Teddy down the line. When is Reece Walsh off contract?

Could get Latrell back. To play in his actual position of centre, I mean.

Hey all, we're finally getting to the back end of the preseason and I've started setting up various leagues across Fantasy and a few for Supercoach. However, I haven't really got many that still play NRL Dream Team, would there be many here interested in joining a Dream Team league?

Gutho, Papy and Walsh are all off contract same time as Teddy. I'm hoping it's RTS as the prodigal son returns

Roger is only five months younger than Teddy. They'll probably be finishing up around the same time.

Meanwhile, in this year's Roosters backline news, Nat Butcher seems to be saying that Suaalii and Young are fighting it out for a spot, which implies Tupou/Manu/Smith are set. If that's the case, would be amazed if it's not Young. https://www.msn.com/en-au/sport/other/the-fierce-battle-driving-tough-roosters-off-season/ar-BB1hPbzq?ocid=msedgntp&pc=DCTS&cvid=545ea6c0cf514d9b9ad05a6b29cd5e7d&ei=13

There are quite a few playing VS Dream Team and at a fairly high standard (I think there were a few in the top 10 last year);
You can also register join the Fanatics league

I'm sure some would be interested in joining another league

There is a lot of Dream Team strength on this site.
We've had multiple comp winners, including UKJC who won the comp last year, and we had another 4 or 5 in the top 20.

Boooo
I would have loved to have seen Manu play Fullback in the NRL week in week out

erin clark just got done for dui got 350 fine & lost licence for 6 months...will there be any action taken by the nrl like a suspension. cheers.

manu would make a great winger in rugby especially with his aerial ability

Awesome, didn't realise that's what the VSDT channel stood for.  I've put my name down in there with a screenshot (45th) and will get back with some links when others have joined.  I found someone on Discord who came 27th so hopefully can dig up some more high standard players.

EDIT: Looks like he was here haha just hasn't posted in a while (arsendragon)

Let's fucking go

Arsen is very much OG

He (and another guy who went by Teetotaller) came up with the original spreadsheets and BE formulas on which I base most of my stuff. Doesn't post much but always see his team pop up

Surely he plays inside centre or fullback. His ball skills would be wasted on the wing.

Off topic but I have been loving NRLGrid the past few months.
Absolute footy nerd heaven. Wish I could do more than one a day.

Looks fun. Wish I knew more about players.

Halleluja, what a game. Loved the NBA crossover grid, didn't realise some legend had made an NRL one.

Am already addicted. Yet to complete one grid though

edit: 20 minutes later, Mark Minichiello for the win

Really making me question my NRL knowledge. 10+ grids and haven't finished one yet
