Alrighty, all - Welshy has joined my league so now the worst we can do is 15th place!

The worst the rest of us can do is 14th since you have 15th spot sewn up.

Can't even argue with that mate

4 years of finishes inside the top 1000 with 3 inside 200, but last year was a complete abomination

Until I can get back to my glory days I deserve to be with the dregs

Only true fantasy Gods are capable of finishing exactly second-to-last!

http://fantasy.nrl.com/fantasy/league/join/?code=HHFCSN2E for any comers ??? where is my mate RABS he been about ?

Brown and Moses or Croft and Harris?

All depends on Moses vs Croft, I think Croft has the tools and halves partner to turn fantasy elite (massive KM), Moses doesn't with Norman taking too much of the general kicking but Brown is a GUN

Brown 50-60 + Moses 35-45 (85-105)

Harris 45-50 + Croft 40-50+ (85-100+)

Tough one

listening to the fantasy podcast nrl.com. nothing of note that hasnt been discussed here already. steve turner (player turned fantasy pundit - god bless him) reckons RFM is the value buy of the year. ill make room for him if he starts

Moses M'Bye at fullback? Potential value? He's priced around the same as Dufty. He certainly has the ball playing ability you look for in a gun fullback, and he's def got the speed (same speed as munster in this video https://youtu.be/hiMoALf4CSc?t=13 ). I feel like his smaller size may help in tackle busts in open play, kind of seeing him as a Barba@Bulldogs 2.0? Dunno. Thoughts.

Anyway, back to this wine in front of me.

I see a lot of people with Harris in their sides. riced at 42, I can't see any value there. Going from the Storm to the warriors is surely going to mean less of those valuable attacking stats? Am I missing something?

cook
lodge maguire
murray arrow brown
DCE catrwright
aubusson milne
teddy ponga inglis

garvey croker RFM watson
kasiano hiku hass fisher-harris

is it wise to have arrow AND cartwright?
why are we all picking cook when farrah is around?
is aubusson going to stay in backrow?
is this team as brilliant as i think it is?

Priced at 42 because of a few injury affected games, averaged 53 in 11 games where he played 70+ minutes last year

Lowest fantasy average since playing a full time role is 48 in 2015 averaged 52 in 2016

even if he loses a few points there is value there

Note that Steve Turner is (was?) a bulldogs employee so is not making an unbiased call there. RFM is still value though and I'll have him if he gets a start

Also a lot more tackling and their star recruit that they’ll want to attack through

I've stuck with Brown since day dot. Not an eels fan but love watching him rip in, he is my underpriced elite gun in the 2RF

I was worried about him losing his attacking output but his base stats are still great for a 2RF and he will be running off Green and SJ, I'm very confident Harris goes back to 50

Rhinoceroo made a great point threads back about how Bodene did off SJ and Harris is twice the player attacking wise

crfy and harris as long as you prepare for the games bellamy rests croft- but munster might be booted for being a pisshead so croft could play all season
