- If you could relegate 2 teams who would they be and why?
- You get to remove the uncertainty about 1 player (ie you know whether they will play 80 all season, what position etc), who would it be?
- Why do half of the profile details not get displayed (such as signature)?

A. Actually, I'd relegate the Broncos twice

B. Maybe Jai Arrow or Bryce Cartwright. Titans pack in general is what I'd love to know

C. Everyone else can see everything. I think it's just you

Exocannibal. If for no other reason than I don't want to have to worry about Johnnie down the street killing me for my juicy juicy rump next time he feels a bit peckish

I wouldn't kill you


First.

I'm not starting him, makes it easier to try and get some guns in each position and less reliance on midrangers. And bringing hookers in and out should be easier with the open bench. As long as you have a couple of captain options I think it's a fair enough strategy.

He is more valuable than ever this year without Cronk

All the major other captaincy options have question marks

Mannering -move to edge?
TLolo - can he reproduce those huge numbers with McLean and Scott there
Crichton - Can he replicate scoring form
Macca - recovering from injury might not be ready R1
Gallen - Getting on
JDB - Graham into pack
Fifita - Can he bounce back after down year

with the open bench and hooking spot not restricted to 2 places, which allows the freedom to grab hotshots Lichaa and Cook with Smith and not as much worry if they bomb

Why do you wind me up like this.
I change my answer, you WOULD be the first!

Here's my question. Every time people mention having a team full of hookers, who doesn't giggle just a little bit

Bring back megaturtle

I had your profile pic (or was it username) for a full offseason but was merciful! With all the other crazies you've recruited on the Teddy wagon I often wonder if I should have enforced the punishment and improved the awareness of this forum. I was bloody voted as a terrible bettor, NOBODY REMEMBERS MY WINS!

Did you actually win that award? No one really knows hey @Random

I don't think you're understanding this game. We ask the questions here!

I didn't know. Welshy did.
I won "best contributor to the forum", "most helpful poster" and "the oracle". Now if a mod could award me my title that would be great.

You forgot Teddy. But in answer to your question, yes Fifita the grub can bounce back. There is also downside to Smith like plays origin, may get rested again like last year, they want to give smith jnr some minutes, less value than others in terms of scoring above their price, maybe the Storm don't do as well this year without Cronk, Harris etc, he's older and won't score as well. Obviously I don't think all of these things will happen, but a couple might. And I'm now in my third season and think I know everything and haven't tried the no Smith approach!

I think we forgot the golden rule. You would always eat Cameron Smith first.

That award title automatically gets added to your signature that displays next to your name

Didn't forget Teddy mate he isn't a reliable captaincy option, pick a game and gamble yes but his average of 52 isn't anywhere near enough to be considered.

I just think of all the years I've considering not going Smith...or going with Farah over Smith years back This year I haven't even considered it

You've always been my favourite mod MF (unless you beat me in our league) and I'm not listening to the other mods when they call you a filthy good for nothing donkeys supporter.

Not for me mate, only mentioned Fifita because he has previously been a 60 avg scorer

didn't include anyone as an option after Macca
