Haha i thort so. If i remember correctly you and i had a couple....disagreements? Lol. Enjoy that mod status

I used to disagree with my own shadow so I wouldn't take it personally.

Anyway as SI said we have a great little community here which you should see explode come TLT. Any hot tips or players you have liked the look of during the trials?

How are you mate? Back then i had 3 one after the other cos i kept forgetting email passwords i was 20valve, comegetsome then silvertop.

I started when arsen and ST were the kings so whats that, 4 seasons or longer? Its crazy to see you, aardvark, DK, Filth, shan, sash and a couple others that i cant remember right now still going solid. I think i even saw that rabbit.

I was never a big poster, liked reading and just throwing my 2 cents in now and then. Got my fantasy heart broken when Fantasy took over and never really recovered. Got sick of listing to that KFP ehen he was new lol. Went to the enemy in SC and wandered around last year. My workmates are saying that Fantasy went real decent last year so I might have another crack in 2017.

Bit old skool, my favourite seasons was where players like campese and soward could cover you in the halves and all you'd need was hindy, stagg, gallen and parker to take care of the middle. Chuck a couple forwards in your centres and you were decent lol. Ah those were the days. Anyways, good to be here here's hoping for a solid 2017 lol

Hahaha, comegetsome!  Yeah mate, most of those lads are still posting.  Arsen though doesn't, but he actually quit Fantasy in 2016.  He has fired back up again this year on Legends.  Wacko pretty much exclusively posts on Legends.  TeeTotaller would be the other bloke you would remember from around 2011 or so.  GreenMachine and MS are here as well, fuck, could go on but almost every single poster migrated from Sportal to here Fantasy/DT wise.

We have HEAPS of great posters on here that all started on Sportal around 2012/2013ish as well.

And that KFP bloke...yeah, a couple of us dragged him off to a Thai rehab facility and the bloke is one of our finest now    .

Ah sacrilege, how could i not name GreenMachine and TT (the b.o.s.s. at stats). Bloody shame on me!! Apologies!

Hmmm, ive heard of these off season rehab/training camps in Thailand. Seems to have worked wonders for all attendees.

Whats Legends mate?

20valve and silvertop? Should I say I haven't seen you 4ages?

Not sure if you were on FB Mentors or not?  Well, I don't know all the history, but a small number of the diehard and high performing Mentors group went into a further group called Legends. 60 members roughly year in year out.  Arsen actually got me in there as it is invite only.  You will see them on the rankings no doubt as Legends L1 or LGND or whatever prefix.  Filth Sash Bullbender went through there.  MS myself R0bDog TMan and a couple of others on here are still in there.

Is it worth upgrading Holmes to TTurbo at the expense of  having two NPRs in the FRF with no DPP for cover if Gurgess pulls his pud again.

Team:
Smith, Farah
DSaifi, Gurges, NPR NPR (TLT dependant)
JDB, Surgess, ET, SMat, KBrom, Stimson,
Taylor, Lamb, Elgey, TLT NPR
Idris, Talakai, Kelly, Chee-kam
RTS, Hayne, TTurbo, Phythian, Ponga

Does MCK finally have a chance of 1st grade you think, or just there in case your centres bomb and you need to move Smat? If it's the latter and there are no better cheapies at centre, why not just move Smat to centre?

I would say Brailey, Elgey and flip a coin for Idris/Talakai. To play three of those mentioned players in your 17 the rest of your squad must be stacked!
