Just kicking us while we're down I think. Maximum pain, minimum effort

Good to have you back Rabs, this forum has missed the touch of senility all good forums require and the Pony fans were starting to grow bold.

I'm seriously hoping you meant another word than 'senility'. But you are correct about the bonzos - 11 years. Nothing .....

By not supporting a hapless team like the Raiders

so this will definitely be my team

Smith McInnes (r)
Vaughan Daifiti Gurgess(r)
Surgess ET Kromwich Wallace(r) Sironen(r)
Norman Lamb
S.Mata Idris
Holmes RTS Hayne



















...assuming TLT sees each and every one of these guys named: I.Papalii, T.May, J.Fogerty, J.Field, N. Cotric, B.Kelly, B.Burns, M.Suli (or an equivalent 138k rookie in 8 from 8 spots)
almost a shame, I was pretty happy with that lot.

Haha cheers Welshy.

Smith and Mcinnes for me lad

no room for growth from Hodgson

It lets me have the backline I want so I'm happy with that.

Also of the 400k to 500k second rowers who looks like improving a good deal? LoLo, Taupau, Tamou??

Smith and Killer Mcllwrick let me have the backline i want while adding to my list of "former raiders who aren't douches and i will have in the team" quota.
But i don't know if i've got the balls to back killer making me enough cash before he loses any meaningful minutes, so i might go for a safe option like Brailey instead...

Just wanted to give a public shout out to @SI - the absolute legend had a spare Guns N Roses ticket and Honeysett got the call up to go. Brilliant concert and what a legend.

For those playing at home, I wanted Civil War and SI wanted Coma and they played them back2back.

So thanks again mate and the forum should know what an absolute champion you are.

Just gonna drop this in here for shits and giggles...

Guerra if he got his starting spot back would be undervalued since 2016 was a shithouse year for him and he is capable of much better than that. Seems like Cordner and Aubo will start though and Liu/Carter will play Lock but y'know nothing's for certain so I'd keep an eye out. Taupau had some pretty good stats playing 80 in the back-row but who knows what Barrett will do with him this year.
Gillett's a guy who served me well in Fantasy the last 2 years. Doesn't have great upside but a 50+ player when fit and healthy. Gets through a lot of defence being Hunt's bodyguard and can run some good lines in attack.

Doesn't seem like anyone else stands out as a big improver in my opinion.

@Bren What's not pictured in that photo is the "Beinvenue en France" sign in the background. Looks like it was a bit of struggle getting through Calais but they got there in the end, passports be damned!

I wanted Garden of Eden. I know I was never going to get it but like Aubo staying in the back-row all year sometimes you just indulge in wishful thinking.

Friz is undervalued for what he is capable fantasy wise, but back injury and Marys minutes effect him

I'm considering picking one of the following and hoping they fly of the blocks to start the year then trade them out

Gillett, Frizell, WGraham, Taupau, Lowe

Regarding Elijah Taylor what's the pre-season talk been around him? Is he expected to become a real leader of the Tigers pack this year/play bigger minutes? Because I looked at his average last year playing 70+ minutes or very close to it and he averaged 53.3 on base stats not including the occasional linebreak/try/assist.

If he's tipped to play big minutes and the Tigers now have the benefit of having a whole pre-season to work on incorporating ET's ball playing skills into their game plan then he could become an appealing option. The more I think about it the more I feel like he's got to be in my team but just wondering if there's any risks I'm not seeing.
