Brailey + Gallen

McInnes and Siro for me.
You wouldn't be picking them if you didn't see 60 from McInnes and 35 from siro.
Brailey, you'd be happy if he clocked 30 and Gal should also be hitting 55-60.

What if Brailey plays 60-65mins? Could score high 30's easily.

Just to clairfy, I wouldn't run it.

Is this a drinking competition?

<--------- You see that, you see where it says Fantasy Fanatics Ladder Predictor Winner. Well yeah, not to brag or anything. But that is pretty much my only achievement in the last year. I know pretty great right. So yeah, don't even bother trying in the Ladder Predictor Comp. Because let's face it. I am without a doubt the best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be.

You're the Bret Hart to my Shawn Michaels. Forever in my shadow.

I would say McInnes and Sironen

But it all depends on how many minutes Brailey gets

2014 had the Plate comp due to the round 1 stuff up, so a lot of users would have had 2 teams.

And a lot of those would have been turned off by the general fuckupedness of the comp that year and left, never to return.

That's me!

Any chance that NRL.com will ditch Fanhub after the current contract ends, and go back to VSDT?

They are not that smart ST

No page 51 party, Harris, Arey, and Fensom...
That's a big news day Fantasy wise

I just dropped the brailey bomb on my team and it certainly makes my rd 13 outlook better but what are ppls upgrade plans. If he scores 30s that's still 200+ short of a gun. the 2nd hok spot seems too valuable to cash out to a NPR or keep as top 17 only

I'd say pretty close to 0% chance of going back to Vapormedia.

Fantasy is behind the 8-ball for player numbers compared to supercoach and they aren't going to catch up by switching to the same platform used there.

Besides, now that the issues are out of the way, the Fanhub interface is superior to the VSDT/SC one, and it would be a step backwards to go back that way.

They may well ditch Fanhub for some other option, but I suspect they'd be reluctant to go that way, as they wouldn't want to go through the teething issues of a new provider again. Have another round 1 fuckup like they did when Fanhub came in and they'll probably destroy their brand completely.

Throwing up either SJ or Lamb as my second half (Norman as my first) big difference in price, but I don't understand all the fuss over Lamb. Sure he might get some kick metres but is he likely to score more than his 37 point average on a regular basis. Should you accommodate a 40 average half in your team?

That's the standard now with the new mod team in place

Lamb is priced at 27.8, so if he just gets close to his 37 average that is good enough for me.

Gotta try and work out a replacement for ARey, or at least a plan to get him in once he becomes available

Is there a open league this year?

(Ex-Sportal) NRL Fantasy Fanatics?

JDB + play someone like Cotric
Or
Peachey/Kennedy

Dropping the Brailey bomb made me laugh more than it should have.

Agree with shan. It's just such a different role. Who is the most athletic, because backrowers in that tofu role these days are just oversized centres, or in the case of everyone's favourite player Maubbs... average workhorse centre a.

They could really do with an emergency purchase of a Tapine type. Oh wait... we got him
