Nah will offload more and score better against easier teams

dont think McGuires min were to affect by Glenns concussion, more just the times he was out there. He went off and would normally stay off for 15min come back and play the game out but he came back after 2min then later in 2nd half had another 10min break.

I think Arrow benifitted most as he came on and stayed on, id think normally hed have another break. At one stage they took Thaiday off and pushed Sims to 2nd row.

If they wanted to rest McGuire longer they could of as Ese and TPJ hardly played any mins

Fuck I love Fletch and Hindy

Shout out to whoever talked me out of McGuire....

I hate you (Only for tonight though)

Haha it was alright. right at the end was funny.

Fifita did nothing bar 2 early TBs and about 3 offloads and got 56. Scary. I went Mcguire instead and he did as well as hoped. Used the spare cash for Koro at half instead of Elgey as an R so hopefully pays off

Arrow will be replaced by kodi anyway in a week or two or three

Still works for me as a NPR.
Only had him and Fifi playing tonight so that will do me for the start of season 2017.
still not sure about my team, can't wait for Monday to see how it pans out.

Had Fifi and McGuire playing tonight, overall very happy.

Thanks for all the team building help guys.

Had TPG as a Reserve, impressed with his output but thought he would see more minutes.

Calendar joke is zzzzzz

Meant to be raining this weekend in Sydney right? Wonder how that will affect Fantasy output.

Brailey posted a decent fantasy score but wasn't that impressive as a player. Sloppy service out of dummy half in the redzone(could have been due to line speed of the Broncos which was very good) and seemed to be driven back 3-4 metres every tackle. Looks like he needs to put on about 8-10 kgs to be an effective first grader. Good technique in defense but just lacking that strength. Reminds me of David Bhana in defense. Showed some good vision with his one run for 15 metres but thought he should have chanced his arm and ran a few more times off a quick play the ball but that will come with experience. Fitness looked like an issue. Was gassed around the 35 minute mark. If Sharks want to play him for 60 minutes a game think they are better off giving him a break just before halftime and then bringing him back fresh. Was really struggling to even make it to dummy half at the start of the second half and the attack suffered because of it. All in all a solid debut and should stick around in first grade for a while if he can bulk up

Dragons fans looking for a get out clause in Hunts contract.

Almost switched Moga into my playing 13 over Kelly, but couldn't do it after all the Kelly talk I have given pre season

Hi all. Between work, life, family, cock blocking me all day and you blokes putting up a page a minute I've barely kept up but I'm so fucking happy right now. Footy's back, fantasy's back. Tipped the donkeys. Ended up going balls to the wall and spending all my cap and have Brailey and Elgey in my 17 so couldn't get Moga (went Suli) but really happy for the guy, I really rate him as a player and hope he holds together. Happy with my two Brailey and Fifi. Hope the rest go gang busters! Thanks to all who helped with selections and to the mods you guys rock!
