Pity all the old sportal threads are gone.  Particularly enjoyed the hattrick's joke and the torrent of abuse that followed.

Also enjoyed a bit of zapp branigan and someone shoulder charging him in the school bathroom and making him drop his cheesecake.

Oh man those jokes by hattrick. Making sense of anything he said shoudve been worth money.

This just in

Ponga dropped

Zapp! The best Beijing Olympics 2008 mod there never was

Bowen starting and GGM and Ponga dropped was obvious than the winner of the most obvious composition

I actually think its better for Ponga's development to stay at the Cowboys this year.

If they released him now, he'd be thrown straight into first grade, and the pressure on him would be immense. It could break him.

The pressure will still be huge next year, but at least thats another year away for him. He will have another year of experience, both on and off the field. Will be in a better position to handle the media/expectations by then. Also in theory the knights team as a whole will be in a stronger position and likely a couple more good signings.

He can bench press 580kg and is getting record scores on the beep test.
I ran into his mates's cousin at the pub last night, and he told me that Brad Arthur has guaranteed him at least 40 fantasy points a week. I believe he's been instructed to run sideways palming people off for the first 12 minutes of every game.


Hope that makes you feel better

No he can't.

Hold me accountable if need be, but after Smith he was one that I first pencilled in and willing to back my judgement on this one, only concern is injury but hey its Rugby League not tiddly winks.

I think you and mytvbroke have convinced me. Just saw he's signed until 2020, so looks like Madge likes him and could keep his spot. If anything, if Gurgess was going to come in, you think Tyrell would be out first, he's rubbish.

So how many players are we all trotting out for tonight's games? I've got 4. Captain Cam, Kaufusi, ET and Talakai. Y'all have scared me off playing Idris with the reports Chee Kam could fill in for him and he's looked unfit in trials, probably pull a damn Moga now.
Also keen to see Hungry Jacks in action. Not bold enough to R him but if he does well and Elgey does shit this week then I'll probably swap them around.

I've got Smith(c), Musgrove, ET, KBrom, Idris, Talakai, Suli(outside 17), Kaufusi(outside 17). If the Storm rumours are true I will also have Munster with Jacks outside the 17

Scoring: Smith(C), Kaufusi, ET, Musgrove, Idris. NPR: Suli, Jacks

Pretty nervous about them all except Smith & ET.

Not recommending this, but I went Bolton. His 4 starting games last year averaged 41/42 from memory, but priced at 34 due to his bench role. Just something different. I will be wrapped if he averages 40.

Scott not 100% playing either

Okay, gonna drop JWH, pick up Musgrove and then upgrade Stimpson and give Frankenstein a punt.

You call me out on some crazy bench press number I pulled out of my are. But we're ok with Brad Arthur's alleged promise of fantasy points to Pritchard?

Jon Tuxworth @Tuxy81
Cowboys coach Paul Green says Matt Scott better than 50-50 to play, Winterstein in more doubt. Javid Bowen will replace him if ruled out.

Faufusi Elgey or Jacks for 4th reserve?

Dont you want to see how munster goes at 6 first, he might be there before too long.

Also is it true conditions are going to be really wet? Might make scoring tough for outside backs
