What are your ops on Sione Mat’autia?

Nathan Brown is thinking of playing him in the forwards, what can we expect from him points wise? Is he worth a shot?

A couple of years ago it was the same situation from memory. That is, priced about 30 and hoping for 40. And every week he looked like he might do it and probably could except he would get concussed or get shifted to centre midgame because of an injury. It's even riskier this time around because the knights have a heap of players they can use there whereas a couple of years ago they were really stretched. It's well and truly a pass from me.

The journo told the club he would not make the photo public, but just wanted the club to know it had a problem.

The player concerned is one of the game’s brightest young stars but had a well below-par season in 2018.

Seems like a nice journo. Makes me think Barry Toohey. Can't think of any young stars who were well below par at the Knights though.

It's a pretty poor reflection on Supercoaches scoring that we're still all on here suffering away with Fanhub.

I've got a four day weekend coming up. Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday.

Pretty good chance therefore that Fantasy opens Wednesday.

Is that for NSW? Here in QLD we got Sat, Sun and Mon only.

Qld mate. Tuesday because I'm the boss

You lucky bastard! I hope NRLF opens on Tuesday. Keen to get my work league set up. Also whats the go with forum leagues?
Is it just #1 who goes up a league from each league and then last goes down?

The only one I go for is Munster but that's only if he starts at f/b.

It's based on your ending rank. e.g. you may be in league 1 in 2018 but had a crap fantasy rank so in 2019 you could be in league 6. There is no promotion/relegation.

Nice one Mulvy. Do you pay yourself millions in bonuses because imo you deserve it.

I personally don't rate Barnett in the slightest. Opinions vary to quote the great Patrick Swayze. I think Sione has a reasonable chance of starting on the edge with Fitzgibbon, Guerra at lock and Easy E/Barnett to come off the bench

Sounds pretty close to my situation

That's what I reckon! But that arsehole boss of mine says I'm too lazy......

I don't like the chances of Mahoney getting an 80 minute role, surely Will Smith keeps his bench spot

Trails are upon us. Sorry I couldn’t be assed typing

Yeah I've gone off him again. I mean even with 80 minutes still a good chance he doesn't score 50's. There's the risk that Pritchard comes back into the side, there's the risk that no Will Smith round 1 but there is in rd 2. etc etc

I thought I heard Will Smith getting the number 1 and gutho and Moses in the halves?

I heard a rumour (read stretch target) that it was Thursday.

Any trials that we fancy 'sending' a few of us along to?

Pre season piss up research....
