Maybe I should take Baker out and opt for the spanking

Thought I was done and dusted with NRL Fantasy - managed to avoid making a team for a couple of seasons and freed up my brain to rent some more space to... FPL...

Anyway, at some weak-minded late hour I cracked open a team in pre-season and here I am - trawling the sites for news, back lurking here with the best, and getting over-excited about transferring Cobbo in for Wong this week.

It's been comforting to see almost all of the familiar names still here! Even the original Rabbit is back! I miss Welshy though - what happened to him?

I'm mostly playing my own game this year - I don't think I'm in any leagues yet. Team name is Rongotigers. (I lost my original team name 'Rongotai Tigers' because in a stronger pre-season moment I deleted my account and decided I didn't need to devote a big chunk of my time to this all over again. Lasted about 2 days...)

Anyway, I decided it would be fun to go big at the back. Figured if I set the backline up as mostly set and mostly forget, I can get more semi-keepers in early (with backline keepers generally being cheaper than forward keepers). And then spend more of the season messing around with making money for the forwards. Obviously never a winning strategy, but it's fun having a backline of 'stars' to root for when watching the games.

So now I've got Cobbo sitting optimistically next to RTS. Teddy, Turbo and Papps at the back (Really missing Walsh but I currently have a policy of no double ups in the backs - Cobbo seemed the next best thing.) Cleary and Moses in the halves. (Still missing Nicho). Grant at hooker at Api on the bench.

That of course means the rest of my team is made up of cheapies, featuring the Glory of Seyfarth in my starting mids. No Hass dilemma for me! No room for May either...

Anyway, figured I should break my lurk and pay my respects. I won't be a very active poster (3 little critters running around), but I want to say thank you all for being here. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, hopes, dreams, brags, fails and humour. It's medicine for the soul, and makes me feel slightly less ridiculous for still being obsessively attached to this fun little game.

All the best for Round 3!

Twal's first try, smashing the Cowgirls by 60 at Leichhardt and doing the Dirty Dolphins by one. I'll be at Leichhardt on Saturday when we beat the Sharks. So put your house on it or give me a call after the game so we can have a beer and I can offer you a rental because you just lost your house.

I'm set on May as 1 trade in and currently on Lussick but is the consensus Curran is more of a priority?

I think Lussick is. Yet to see Curran without an injury to support his minutes

Lussick feels like a bit of a no brainer.

Curran feels a bit more like picking someone whos good at footy and perhaps more "fun"

Good evening, idiot. I swapped from Lussick to Curran just based on 50 average when playing 50 mins, and I think dogs have to play him for 60 to be the best side they're on. Also the more fun pick. Lussick looks a 44.2231-48.128 scorer when not aided by 40/20 and tries, so will get him in next week I reckon.

So, get Lussick.
