Nice looking team Welshy. Not sure about JWH and Milne could go either way, but we can't afford to buy everyone, so we have to take some risks and hope that they pay off.

I really like this team MS. Who are your 4 reserves? I'm guessing AFB, Hess, Elgey and WHO?

this is what i have so far.....

Smith(c), Ballin
Graham, Gurgess, Hoare, Cherrington
JDB, Surgess, Whitehead, K.Brom, Sironen, Jed Cartwight
B.Cartwright, Hayne, Lamb, Elgey
Harris, Walker, (Talaki, R.Jennings - one of these 2 will get Gray's spot)
RTS, SMat, Pythian, Scott, Whare (plenty of cover if Python fails)

In this team it would be Ballin/AFB/Hess/Elgey but probably a little shallow. Gone cold on Gurgess, AFB and prefer Mannering to JDB

In my current team, I also have AFB/Hess/Elgey as 3 of my reserves. My 4th reserve is out of Ballin, Whare, or Slater.

Mannering v JDB is a toss of the coin.  Gurgess and AFB are mid-rangres who could either pay off or flop. Guns are guns and cows are cows, whereas most mid-rangers are calculated risks.

I've gone for a bit more of a gun heavy team here compared to fantasy. Had to run with El-cheapo halves to accommodate.

Smith Peats
Fifita Gurgess FKaufusi (Hoare)
Surges De Belin ETaylor Idris Sironen (Stimson)
Lamb Hayne (Elgey NuBrown)
Tohu DWalker (Talaki Scott)
RTS Sione Kahu (Phythian Kelly)

Might end up dropping Fifita for McGuire to accommodate more cash elsewhere

Considering quite a few St George and Souths players so the Charity Shield match will hopefully help me decide.

St George
C.McInness, P.Vaughan, J.Field (hope he goes well and gets a round 1 spot).
Souths
R.Farah, G.Burgess, A.Reynolds, C.Walker, S.Talakai and B.Burns.

A lot of players to keep an eye on.....

Haha!

As a Dragons fan, I enjoyed the half-time and full-time sirens.

I'm also looking forward to the END of the season.
.

Not sure who hasnt joined my league from last year but there are still 5 spots left. Anyone keen send me a PM for the code. We finished 2nd last year from memory carrying a dead body the whole way. @code delta i have sent you a pm.

Still unsure of what to do, but I will use Surgess, Gurgess and Walker. The others, I still have doubts on if they're worth it;

Farah = not sure on his minutes with Cook there
Reynolds = I think M.Pearce is in for a big year so I'll use Walker with him instead of Reynolds
Crichton = He's one I want to put in but will he get game time barring injury as bench might be, Cook, Clark, Turgess, Rochow, Musgrove Crichton
Talakai/Burns = I had Talakai starting before, but don't think so now, but one or both could make good money till Gray is back.

With the dragons;

Field = looks like it might be a while before he's ready for first grade
Vaughan = went well enough with only about 40 mins on the paddock, but with their back row, all playing big minutes, Vaughan might not get enough minutes to be worth it.
McInness = looked good, but don't think I can have a 2nd gun hooker as I am using Smith.

They're the main ones I was looking at, but I wish TLT will come soon as I've changed my side abt 20 times already ( as everyone has ) and I can't make up my mind until TLT.

Codes for L1 will be sent out within the next 30 minutes please check inboxes when I give the go!

L1 codes have been sent

please be aware of a typo (my fault) asking to join 3 leagues, copy and paste error from NRL Fantasy text.

There are only 2 league to join
1 league with code attached
1 overall group with link attached

Cheers guys and sorry for the confusion

Decided my team was to similar to my Fantasy squad so mixed it up with some guys I wouldn't take the risk on over there.

Smith, Mcinnes
Barnett, Prior, Kaufusi, Perrett
Galen, DeBelin, Joe Ofa, Sironen Stimpson, Stone
Hunt, Hayne, Lamb, Elgey
Harris, Whare, Talakai, Scott
RTS, Tedesco, SMat, Uate, Kelly

L2 codes sent. Cmon boys lets make it personal this year and flog @welshy and his L1 boys

Haha!

Can we see the list of teams in each league so we know who we are trying to beat?
.

Pretty happy with my team, have Centre pairing of Crichton and Harris - does VSDT have a rolling lock out , cant remember old timers setting in as I am not sure if Angus will grab a bench spot or not, and need a back up plan ?

Bulbenders League "Back to Back BABY" in my best George Costanza voice............

After a dissaponting 2016 I have handed SI the C so i can focus on my own game this year, although i have a sneaky suspicion(like others) that he may be batting for both teams.
