2016 NRL.com Fantasy thread part 24

So anyone want to set up a WAGS league for the first big bye round? I think I might have a girlfriend when round 12 arrives.

I have only had to listen to one Channel 9 game all year.  Such a shame their whole NRL coverage in every aspect has fallen so far over time.  

I thought it hit its nadir a couple of years back when Ray Hadley spent an entire game talking about how the Cowboys' jersey numbers were falling off. Though little has improved since then.

BUT WHAT ABOUT THE SEAGULLS?! THEY'RE ON THE FIELD!!!

I also never understood how Gus was allowed to commentate Panthers games.

souths look pretty juicy at the line with reynolds returning tonight.

I could convert to traditional mormonism & take 12 wives so I should be well set up by round 12.

Remember this. He said they needed a new seamstress! No-one under 40 knew what he was gibbering about. He then commentated on the game as if it was a horse race on the radio. A champion chump.

Remember that time when Brett Morris was running close to Josh Morris.

Can't believe they haven't released a commemorative DVD yet

No different to Brandy doing it.

That was the most cringe worthy commentary I've ever heard.

My gf (ex gf now) watches the football so wanted help. She said as long as JT was in the team i could manage it. Its my only rule. Ironically he was been an ok pick this year. haven't had to trade him out. He isnt in any of the leagues just in it for the big cash prize.

The team is actually very good. Im a real good shot at overall with it

You mean she is. It's cheating to manage more than 1 team.

I'm managing another manager.

But i take your point

Alright, after doing a couple of calcs and based on predicted scores, I reckon I should be able to go:

T-Turbo ---> Cheap wfb/half
Carter ---> Mannering

next week, followed by

Barba ---> Semi

"And the centre three-quarter plays the ball to the acting half, who passes to the wing three-quarter, who turns it back to the centre three-quarter.... props, offloads to the prop > Wally, did you ever have your number fall off in a game? > < Not that I can remember Ray > Acting half spreads it wide to the left centre three-quarter, on to the the wing three-quarter... HE'S through, past a player and taken down by the opposing centre three-quarter... < who was that he beat there Sterlo? I can't see his number, but all their numbers are falling off aren't they? It's a disgrace - wouldn't have happened in your day would it Peter > ...

turner in doubt may mean carter starts

Fifita or JDB +70k?

Bren's favourite piece of commentary ever.

I would be stoked if this eventuates. Would love a high score from him considering he's about to be sold and wasn't supposed to be in my 17 to start with #FuckParcell
