    Has there ever been a better collective performance from base price players in round 1.

    Kikau, Kennar, Thompson, Isaako, Papalii all smashed it.

    Havili's 34 would normally be seen as an excellent result for someone of his price, but this year it really looks a little sub par (and I might now be wasting a trade swapping him back to the guy who had his position ion my team only 27 hours ago)

    I know crazy right. Im just glad i didnt see the news that Kikau was moved to the bench otherwise i might have traded him out

    So glad that you are all enjoying the new season! It's been really amazing!

    We have been enjoying a flawless start here at the office, too bad most of you can't say the same for your teams! LOL!

    I'm sure it will continue for us though, as we attempt to re-include all of the old features that you guys are sorely missing out on.

    I've been through so many of your threads here in this quaint, little place, that I could knit a sweater! LOL!
    But jokes aside, rest assured, all of the features that you guys have been clamouring on about are indeed coming soon! So keep hitting that refresh button!

    I wouldn't recommend holding your breath though! LOL!

    -Fifi

    PS. The phantom tackle-breaks for Tedesco and Fifita will absolutely be a feature again this year! Don't worry!

    I am unable to give a timeframe as to when, but Joe just informed me that they'll be implemented "when it's good and right", so keep an eye out for those!

    PPS. Lockout has been lifted!

    As always, enjoy!

    -Feefee

    PPPS. It appears we're having issues lifting lockout! Check back later!

    - Phi

    Hi Foina, thanks for lifting lockout and welcome to the forum.

    Question?  I noticed you abbreviate your name to Phi.  Can I ask if you are actually Phil?  Phil from FanHub?  Legit this seems very coincidental that you took over FanHub in 2015, the exact same time Phil reportedly moved to run FanHub in England.  If so, sorry for all the abuse in 2014.  You did a bang up job back then and clearly still are judging on the success of this year's la+unch.

    In the age of mobile first...

    TRADING IS NOT AVAILABLE YET.
    You can make trades on your mobile by downloading the NRL Fantasy app, or otherwise trades can also be made on the NRL Fantasy website on a desktop computer.

    Complete muppets.

    Off to download the app, which will no doubt be difficult or won’t be on UK AppStore

    Will be much better for TPJ and Lodge not catching pies thrown above their head from Thaiday then.

    I was going to trade in Edwards this week but someone (sorry cant remember who) gave the suggestion that Thompson is going to gain money for a couple of weeks and Teddy will lose it. Might be able to save myself some dosh for him!

    I think I read somewhere that Whitehead was shifted around a bit during the game. Can anyone let me know what happened with him and if Tapine's injury might have a negative effect on him fantasy wise moving forward? Cheers.

    He moved to centre while Croker was off the field for an HIA. Don't count on him scoring big if there's an injury in the centres this year, he'll probably replace them.

    Not impressed with Croft. I reckon he’ll just be a Cronk clone and average fantasy scorer.  Not sure about Williams, but I think I’m going Croft > Williams, Katoa > Thompson. Puts $200k in the bank and gives me this team.

    McInnes, Cook, Griffin
    Kikau, McGuire, Papalli
    Fitzgibbon, Murray, RFM, Rochow
    Cleary, Williams
    Aubbs, Kennar,
    Ponga, Lolohea, Thompson

    18-21 Cartwright, Godinet, Havalli, Marshall King

    Whitehead tends to be the stop gap if an outside back goes down (Sometimes it was Soli/Tapine last year, but more often it was Whitehead). Croker went off for a HIA so Whitehead was pushed to CTR to cover him. When Tapine went off i was already struggling to see through the tears so not too sure but i imagine Whitehead was pushed back to 2R and we moved Bateman/Soli into lock.

    Croker went off with a head knock and Whitehead moved to Centre R&T. It's happened before and will probably happen again. He has alao played in the halves through injury.

    It wouldn't surprise me if he ends up back at second row this week.
