Nice work on the weight loss BB, good to see the old faces keen again.

I can't believe you had 15 to lose Bender, you must have deadset porked up over Winter!

I lost 8 from November to last week. But I'm on 2 weeks A/L now so will have a fair crack at putting a bit of that back on

Good on you SI, bet you feel a shitload better. No mate, was about the same size when i saw you, just got back to my fighting weight of 78kg......... Dropped a few dress sizes, down to a size 8 or thereabouts.

Terry who joined my league, what was your team name last year?? I dont recall your current team name. Badbetter aka BB2 PM sent re league. Code Delta your next mate

SI and BB putting the pressure on for us to lose weight might have to hook up the abacus to the exercise bike to watch the games

Thrown a team together with Smith and ET as hookers , and a strong back line and weak forward pack in a bid to change it up a bit via a stick and forget centre pair of Tohu and Croker, resting hopes of some cows coming home early very risky, but ya never never know if ya never never go.

No mate, didnt win anything to my knowledge but still proud to be involved in one of the top leagues. I have recreated Bullbenders League just then so those that were in last year should get an invite but fucked Hench off so there is one spot remaining for anyone who wants in. Just PM for code.

I'm in BB. Thanks for the code.

Hey Beaver!

No Captain Cam mate? Have you forgotten the first rule of DT after all these years?

Thanks Bullbender, signed up. Looking forward to another season of VSDT.

Toying with the idea of running Apisai Koroisau as my second hooker, also gambling on the following
KBromwich,Gurgess,Whare,AFBlake and Clay Priest - which allows me 3 strong halves in ARey,Norman and Cleary with Elgey

I really like the price of Brock Lamb as a third half with Elgey 4th mate gives a very decent balance elsewhere and I think he can get into the high 30s-40s

Already got Sione Mata'utia and even he might be one too many Knights at the table.

Fair point haha, I'm just thinking along the lines of bulk KM and a load of defensive work, low price and good reserve option

Jamal Idris
NRLF: CTR, $194,000
VSDT: CTR/2RF, $274,000

Matt Ballin
NRLF: HOK, $214,000
VSDT: HOK, $152,500

In the NRLF thread, Idris seems to be a popular pick, but IMO he is a risk at $274,000 ($80,000 more expensive) in VSDT.

On the other hand, there doesn't appear to be much love for Ballin in the NRLF thread, but at only $152,500 ($61,500 cheaper) in VSDT, he looks a steal and worth consideration in spite of his injury concern.

What do you guys think about these two Tigers VSDT-wise (as opposed to NRLF-wise)?
