Wests - Momirovski (Roosters) - he's in my team solely due to his cool name haha.

Note re Tim Grant - 1 article says he's going back to Penrith & another says he going to the Eels.
I think I have them all but if not just add to the list.

Also Ryan Materson - the mole reckons he's signed 2 year deal with Wests but I also read that Souths are interested.

Plenty of time for things to change, but at this stage there is very little big name changes/signings for 2019, compared to the start of this season.

Chricton, Ferguson, and Morris bro's the biggest names on the list.. they all kind of just "slot in" at their new clubs. No big name changes to any spines... I suppose Barba is there.

S. Lane at the Eels peaks my interest. Until I read all the player movements I was completely unaware that he had signed for the Eels. I excluded him from my initial draft because I didn't want too many Manly but now I can put him in.

Momirovski. What a name!
Before any of you try to do it that name is way to cool to be shortened by lazy fantasy players.

Bulldogs fined 250k for the mad Monday debacle. The problem with nrl players & alcohol is that they don't drink enough of it. They basically aren't allowed to drink excessively during the season because they're are tested all the time so their body isn't used to it so they get on the piss & they can't handle it so they go silly.

Your body has to build up a tolerance to excessive alcohol consumption to be a real piss head. Bottom line is you have to drink a lot of alcohol to be able to handle it. So these players go silly when they drink too much & of course they can't handle it because they basically aren't really allowed to drink at an excessive level every week.

My mates and I call it getting piss fit   Gotta work on it before every camping trip.

Why is it it's always Australian league players who make a fool of themselves concerning alcohol. You never see a Kiwi making a manus of himself when on the piss. I think Kiwis will drink Aussies under the table.

Saying Kiwis never make dicks of themselves is a pretty broad statement mate. Should head down to my local sometime.

When I use to be a raging alcoholic I use to be down the wholesaler as soon as it opened. Now that's what you call commitment haha.

I can believe it but I meant the nrl players. I know plenty of Kiwi players like J-Brom/Proctor have got into trouble re drugs but I never ever see any Kiwi in the nrl doing a Pearce or an Elliot.

haha, nope. Pun on a players name (my favourite type of team name).

Free to a good home, for any gals out there, is "Roger Tuivasa Chick"...

My old flatmate always called him Roger Chewy Masterchef.

Not confirmed yet but Hymet Hunt is heading to the titans apparently.

Any Sharks people on here. Who is Bronson Xerri & what position does he play. Wacko tweeted he will move into the top 30 player list & become part of the full time training group in 2019.

Development players from this season move into the club's top 30s. I known from a WT standpoint that Mikaele, Dylan Smith and Sam McIntyre will move into our top 30 next season @ WL

Thanks for the rundown on player movements WL
