FM SI you must be older than ya letting on

Nah, 42 mate, and a young at heart one at that. I never saw Wazza play, just his commentary on ABC Saturday arvo games that enticed me.

Kenny Rogers was a funny dude too

Braddo was a champ. A deadset legend.

Although, from memory, neither Braddo nor Kenny played NRL fantasy/DT.

And if so what happens?

Yes they can cancel the game - a Cowboys home game almost got cancelled a couple years ago due to a cyclone.

As to what happens are you asking from the point of view of Fantasy or the NRL

The NRL will either reschedule the game for Saturday or Sunday if possible, or maybe just call it a draw (The Warriors and Storm don't share any bye weeks, if they did they'd possibly reschedule it for a bye round)


As for fantasy, who knows.
When AFL cancelled a game a couple years ago, they gave players listed to play in the game their season average.
They couldn't realistically do that for a round 2 game, and IMO giving people fantasy points for not playing a game is crazy. Especially would lead to some shenanigans in DT/Supercoach where your captain isn't locked in - imagine being able to choose between Smith and SJ as captain, knowing exactly what score they would be given. Plus you'd have to give scores to 19 players a side, and make up a score for players making their first grade debut.

What about Garry "Jimmy" Jack?

I think Braddo was playing the year I joined but maybe not after that-he had his first Bub around then if I remember correctly? He started getting right into the in house Drafts and Trade games but.

Weather in Auckland cant be worse than the Rabbitohs sharks game last year surely?
BYO wetsuits and snorkels

I think he owes me 4 beers. That's a golf bet that will never be paid. Haha!

Yeah Braddo was really into those in-house Sportal games. There might have been one year when he and some of the other league forum regulars signed up to play DT, but they weren't really into it, and they didn't post regularly in the DT thread.

Do we really want any of those pullers on here as most of them carry on like 5 year kids. Mind you we could let them in & if they start playing up just ban them.

Everyone's entitled to a fresh start.

I don't mind who joins the forum as long as they don't start posting racist, sexist, misogynystic or homophobic posts or slurs.

Been really good here so far and hope it continues

Did anyone watch League life the other night when they talked about the social media preso with the female cop and then had a chat to Ian Roberts?

This is my sentiment.

After catching up on the last few pages, I feel like I've accidentally stumbled into Honeysetts mind

Jimmy Jack has short arms and deep pockets. Quite a character that one.

The weekly write ups I do pale in comparison to those by TGM, absolute beauties

Neither were DT players, but they were good posters in the main league forum  (as opposed to the DT thread).

TGM's late mail was brilliant, and your weekly write-ups bring back memories.

JB24 was a really friendly and likeable poster, as was Uncle Sproj.  I think SI might be one of them in disguise.

Very interesting. Thanks for the info. Is Auckland looking like that is possible tonight at all?

I Have tickets in the middle of the stadium middle row for tonights cowboy and broncos game.

See anyone there?

Can someone fill me in on pandagate? I've heard you guys mention it before.

All this talk of bad scores due to weather has me going full mister burns thinking of the value drop in bodene and manners.

Excellent

Think i will go jbrom to winterstein over musgrove for the extra cash
