Nobody should be paying the premium!!! One all the same info is free and 2 we shouldn’t be giving them money when they aren’t giving anything back.

Hours upon hours of enjoyment?

I consider them giving us something

Nothing in life is free. So if you aren't the customer, you're the product. Think about that.

I'm happy to pay a little for the enjoyment it gives me. That's what this whole group is about. FANTASY BABY!!! Nothing like joining a money league vs your mates too ????

Do you guys do a money league for overrall? Or for drafts?

So when do I start paying for all the wonderful information the people post here on FF?

NRL baffles me. Seems a sure sign they arent interested in growing fantasy when stats everywhere show fantasy players watch MORE sport as a direct result of playing fantasy games.

Its true. Before 2012 I used to only watch broncos games and that was one game every two to three weeks sometimes. Now I love fantasy ive turned into SI watch every game religiously and when I used to work at dreamworld over the weekend I had our back computer set up live streaming the stats on the website..

More of an obsession now I think about it

I would just like to point out that is also because I am old and have no friends.

@Rabbit

Chances of Murray starting this year??

That doesn't sound like a bad idea but I wouldn't expect 100,000 people to play, but then again, maybe they would if prizes were better.

I'd pay.

I pay to play fantasy motocross / supercross ($20 entry) where the first 3 prizes are worth 10-25k (and there'd be not even 1/10th of the people who play NRL fantasy)

Didn't realise that is even a thing and they have those prizes

@welshy The club have a huge opinion of him. Not sure if he starts. I think he’s a bit small, but he can tackle. I reckon he ends up hooker one day, but probably 40-50 minutes back row this year.

I would definitely pay a few bucks fo4 better prizes.

Cheers mate

I thought he was outstanding last year when he played, I'd ship Sutton off and let him take over the edge, give him a year there to take over when Crichton goes, Angus too good to let rot for leaving to join the Roosters, or maybe Sam goes edge and Murray gets the lock spot

Fortitude wrote:Someone I was impressed with at the end of last year was T. May. From memory was a 2rf/hlf position but came in with some fairly useful scores at back end of season with injuries. Played a good game for fantasy scoring broke tackles, offloaded and looked to break line, supported well for a few meat pies as well. I think behind Malony,Chn. Cartwright etc etc he struggles though.

Yeah, he looked pretty good. Certainly got some bigger 5/8ths coming through the last couple of years.

The Newcastle Herald reports Kalyn Ponga could be the Knights’ first-choice goalkicker this season.

Both Brock Lamb and Trent Hodkinson had the role last year, but club kicking consultant Damian Hill said the young fullback was a standout option for 2018.

“Kalyn Ponga, he’s got a great boot on him,” Hill said. “He’s only going to get better, because he’s still young.

“Once he learns the whole process of how to kick and understands it, and probably seeing how he kicks under fatigue. That’s a big thing, too.

“But he’s got a great strike on him. He’s the one who stands out, but it’s only early days yet.”

Regardless of potential extra goalkicking points for Ponga, If GI is named in the CTRs I will be taking Ponga over him for a few $$ more

any more requests for player profiles

coal train already on way back home

I would never complain about paying twenty bucks for premium. I literally spend hours every night scanning over beakevens and player data. Few would get their money's worth as I do

I have no cricket fantasy forum to complain to, so I am doing it here. Feel free to ignore me now. Sitting on 935 in the BBL fantasy with 5 decent(ish) players to go, and about to break my first 1000 ever (easily, mind you). McCullem, Cutting, Henriquez, Silk and Pierson have a combined three-game average of 232 between them. That shit was in the bag. Next minute, Heat collapse and all players combine for 56. R-r-r-Rekt!
