Absolute joke mate! Don’t get me wrong I’ve got sky already but going from 8 games a weekend to 3 is a real shitter! Fucks up my weekend routine getting up early to catch all the early morning kick offs before I check any fantasy stats and scores and try and judge my players from what I seen live

Yeah mate, I feel for ya, would be devastating to only see 3 games a week!

G'day mate.

‘Foran is rubbish’ at fantasy....

To be fair, that's what kids do, they always seek the teachers approval on what they do, its not until they get to high school and reach puberty that they learn to make decisions for themselves.

Cheers WL, please forgive my ignorance, but in the 2018 team planner, in the 'Big Look Up' tab, how do I change which player's stats are being displayed, I can see the player name in the top left, I tried simply retyping someone else in there but it didn't seem to change anything?

Thank you for any help!

Heaps of stats on there

to further expand, he started 3 games in rounds 1-3 (ave 38 min), then was dropped to Reserves for 8 games then came back as a bench warmer for 5 games before breaking his arm and sitting out the rest of the year. In those 5 games he played 29, 21, 31, 9 and 12 minutes. He broke his arm in that 12 min stint.

White Lightning wrote:Just read an article = nrl set for penalty crackdown as problem area resurfaces

They are talking about incorrect play the balls. Referees blew 14 penalties for incorrect play the balls in the trial Storm v Newcastle. They are going to penalise players rolling the ball between their legs without making a genuine effort to touch the ball with their foot.

Potential Fifita buyers beware.

I'm glad they're going to crackdown on this because it's one area of the game that really annoys me.

This is the 12th year in a row that they have announced a penalty crack down for the season. It will last until round 2, if it even happens at all

Fox Sports article quoting Flannagan saying Sione Katoa has his nose ahead of Gray and E Lee for Round 1 start. Trials will tell.

No worries mate. Just type in the players name or go to the "playerlist" tab, find the player & just copy & paste the player into the "biglook" tab.

He's currently my 3rd wfb (still not added in fantasy) which allows big upgrades elsewhere.

Thanks for that. Possibly a silly question for a forum mod. What's the general forum etiquette regarding thanking some for their input on a question? Is a reply post preferred, thanking them for their insight, or does that clog up the thread with unnecessary posts and instead, a 'like/thumbs up' of their answer post is the preferred response?

(just reading this back to myself, I'm like, haha what a dick I must sound, such a stickler for details. But ah, what the hell, I'd like to know).

Great name. Were you on Sportal? Seem to remember someone having the same name although maybe I'm having a SI moment.

General accepted currency on here is bantz, memes and gifs.
Don't get too worried about people saying you're "clogging up" the thread. Get where they're coming from but posting something is better than posting nothing most of the time!

90% of my posts are probably rubbish! Haha.

Baaahh forgot about that extended squad naming

Same -

Putting that into perspective.

Do trades count from rolling lock out or end of round 1 ? Based on TLT you could end up with a bunch of cheapies who don't take the field and then only have 2 trades to replace 3-4 blokes

Yep, was there on Sportal! Good memory. Thanks for the tip on the accepted currencies!

I would say just be who you are, so if you are someone with great manners or just like to thank everyone for every little bit of advice they give you in life (or in fantasy) then I can't see a problem with it. It could grow tiresome for you depending on how many posts you write asking for advice and how many responses you get to each question.

Trades count from end of round 1, so in theory you can change the players yet to play unlimited times up until they play.
