Worked with over 1000 domestic abuse victims.... female and male.....have the real stories.... I have the real facts. Not from a fucking book or the internet but from their own accounts. Ffs can’t believe cunts want to still sit on some high horse with this statement. No anger towards the actual question this was in response to??? You realise that someone asked if she can drop the charges? Even though we all know he’s hit her? That question alone perpetuates more than this fucking standard some of you wankers seem to be upholding on me.... The ONLY thing that would make this ORIGINAL statement remotely acceptable is..... that maybe she instigated it and regrets it. Which is why I brought it up, which can’t be done even if she wanted to. You too champ... drop it.

My npr's are all backs because a 212k back will play 80 mins & the odds are that player will make much more money than someone like Haas who could play 20-25 mins max & score 15 points while an outside back like Allan at wing or f/b has a chance of tries & he'll score 30-40 points. If the worst happens & 1 of Surgess or TPJ get injured I'll just buy someone else.

I like that as a strategy WL. Good luck in the Bulldogs league this year mate.

If I live near Josh Dugan, I am bringing that umbrella.

White Lightning wrote:Yes my strategy is risky but it's due to the lack of options in the frf. I only really like Fifita, Taupau, Surgess, TPJ, Twal as frf options. The rest don't appeal to me.

White Lightning wrote:I'm really liking the difficulty of picking a squad this year, it reminds of of the first year a started playing fantasy. After that each year they made it easier & easier to fill your team with gun players & it was becoming like sc. Also by getting rid of a lot of the dpp frf/2fr like Arrow & Kikau this year you really have to do more research into the lower priced players/mid rangers that will be in your squad.

Haas is definitely in my squad. I know there are question marks over his minutes but i dont think he's a plodder that will rely on tackles to get points. Hes big and apparently the next big thing so hopefully he goes beast mode in the minutes he does get.

Some people didnt start with Kikau last year because they over analyzed his potential minutes. At the end of the day kikau is big and strong, built for fantasy. Hess was the same the year before that.
