What’s the bet India will need to score 250 in 19 due to the advantage they had

Game washed out, which was probably very lucky for the Aussies.
1-0 up with one game to go, at least we cannot lose the series now.
Australian cricket needs whatever gimmes that can be thrown their way at the moment. Even a low road still leads to victory!

Fanhub destroying Fantasy Soccer too, according to Wacko.

On sc addicts there's a post that sc player prices will be released in over a week. Maybe we'll get an indication what the salary cap will be as both nrlfantasy & sc use the same salary cap figure. I've done a team based on using last years salary cap of $9.4m & I only have 3 players over 600k & the rest is below 600k. The 3 over 600k is 1 at the 800-900 range, 1 at 700-800 range & 1 at 600-700 range. Based on this team I conclude that the salary cap has to increase because you're mostly playing bums in your 17.

Its too hard picking a team now for 2019, because you are trying to pick based on 2018 performance.

There will be some cheap rookie outside backs and halves to tempt us. Some guys will make a case in pre-season for inclusion.
We don't know how cheap Barba/Bateman/Sutton will be - they might all be cheap enough to tempt us in.

I'm sure everyone says the same sort of thing at this point ever year

Klemmer to Knights and Napa to Dogs all now confirmed.

I suppose Taupau to Roosters is next ?

We don't even know who's playng at what club and how it will effect their PPM relative to their price.

Corey Allan fullback (now at Souths, was at Broncos). How good is Corey Allan? Well he was picked in the Prime Minister's 13 before he had made his nrl debut. The speedy f/b known for his ability to find the try line will be pushing for a Souths starting gig at f/b.
To me AJ does not look comfortable playing f/b plus he's a bit injury prone. With Fuimaono (Panthers), H. Hunt (Knights) & R. Jennings currently unsigned there is the possibility that AJ moves back to the wing in 2019 letting Allan to play f/b. I can't see GI moving back to f/b because his body just can't handle the demands of f/b.

They might name Allan on the wing and ease him into fullback during games. Seems to be the done thing these days (RTS, Val Holmes)

Sounds like SJ will be playing his last season at the Warriors.

The Knights are assembling quite a squad. In 2018 they bought a lot of players including Ponga & their player purchasing shows no sign of slowing down in 2019. Players signed for 2019:
E. Lee (Sharks), Ramien (Sharks), Lino (Warriors), Gavet (Warriors), Glasby (Storm), Woolford (Bulldogs), H. Hunt (Souths), Klemmer (Bullldogs)
They could line up in round 1 like this:
Levi
Klemmer, Ese'ese
Fitzgibbon, Barnett, Guerra
Pearce, Ponga
Sione M., Ramien
C. Watson, E. Lee, SKD

Reserves from-Woolford, D. Saifiti, Glasby, Buhrer, J. Saifiti, Josh King, Lino, Ross, Griffin, Moga, Gavet, H. Hunt - as you can see they have plenty of depth

I'm getting some old magazines and my sister is getting a barbie doll and it's simply unacceptable and I will rant for half a page about it.
