I have to stop tinkering but I think I need Fifita in my team. I've had him for the last few years and leaving him out just feels wrong. If his form can return he'll be slightly undervalued IMO. SO until TLT, or 2pm this afternoon;

Smith
Lodge Fifita
Merrin Murray RFM
Croft Carty
Mitchell Kennar
Teddy Ponga Katoa

Cook TPJ Arrow Rochow(??? this spot is open, maybe even a cheapie)

Havilli Croker Thompson Isaako

I assume its just a load of tripe, probably shouldn't have posted it.

Probably get every idiot with a net connection making shit up in the next couple of days to screw with fantasy coaches.

No mention of anything like this on Tigers forum

WOW. Awesome for Rochow, but really feel for Nof (if he hasn't done anything wrong off field).

Even the media get in on it. Last year Jooper (James Hooper) was reporting how Seggy's return was imminent. He had no new information. Just fucking with Brailey owners with that stupid smirk on his face.

Before I reply, I have to know.

Are you using Rochow as the players surname, or is it a contracted form of Robbie Rochow?

contracted of course! though thankyou for making me realize i should be heavily reprimanded for my actual improper use of a surname - Tilne is obviously what i meant to write

Star signing Mitchell Pearce has told Knights coach Nathan Brown he wants youngster Brock Lamb as his ‘wingman’ this season.

The Knights have an embarrassment of riches in the halves, with Connor Watson, Jack Cogger and Lamb all in the running to partner Pearce.

But after training with all three, Pearce has had a quiet chat to Brown and said he believes Lamb is the best fit at five-eighth.

That leaves Watson most likely to play at fullback or as a utility off the bench, with Cogger to cool his heels in the NSW Cup while he waits to take up his rich deal at the Bulldogs in 2019.

Watson wants to play in the halves, but his versatility will be his worst enemy as he can play just about anywhere in the backline and, in the Newcastle team, is probably best suited at fullback.

Everyone had Milne in their team all off-season, but player ownership has been falling ever since they realised that the author of "Winnie the Pooh" probably isn't very good at rugby league.

Please join the NRL FF leagues - you should have instructions

Still 8 people short in the Fanatics overall league. Join up or risk losing your spot.

I'm already in it

Tigers back row in the last trial was named as

11. Robbie Rochow
12. Chris Lawrence
13. Matt Eisenhuth

15. Josh Aloiai
21. Chris McQueen (who was also named in NSW Cup, presumably for match fitness as he is returning from injury)

Elijah Taylor will slot in there somewhere, so the question is whether he replaces Eisenhuth, Rochow or Lawrence.
McQueen may or may not be considered first choice if fit so who knows where they think he might slot in eventually

Just over 24 hours until things become clearer

Speaking of HOOPS, this might be his first big selection call for 2018 - https://www.foxsports.com.au/nrl/nrl-premiership/teams/rabbitohs/nrl-2018-damien-cook-beats-robbie-farah-to-rabbitohs-no9-jersey/news-story/25a3bd7c04b5c86a85ea0cd096b93c41

According to the article, Farah will travel, but WILL  NOT be part of souths 17 for round 1.

Have you joined both L7 and the overall league?

What is your team name? You registered with "petero time" but no team by that name in the overall league

Interesting. I've said all along that Lamb is a better player, but I think Watson still gets first shot in the 6.
