    Maybe they take QLD cup scoring into the equation when they only have 1 game to go off.

    Won't be going near surgess.

    Sick of watching him cop 200 negative points every week.

    Has feet for hands and likes to charge out of the line to put on a hit and ends up falling on the ground looking like a goose.

    Ha, what a bunch of BS! It's probably why we can't figure out the magic number. Because they've put a "believed potential" surcharge on everyone.

    Bit of a change of topic, but Lachlan Burr is looking a possibility to nab the Warriors starting lock. He's no Mannering, but surely that means Lil Papi and Tevaga might not be as juicy? But 80 min second row could see Lil Papi go 45+ though, and he knows how to find the line.. Thoughts?

    Pricing people according to their 'scoring potential' would be fine if they did it for everyone. That's what fantasy premier league does and its perfectly OK.

    Problem is that they come up with these random prices for people that have played 1 or 2 games (and almost always this results in the players being more expensive than you would think), and every other player is priced according to the same algorithm.

    On one hand we should be thankful they aren't priced according to the old algorithm which would have seen them around $630k each.

    On the other hand, how did they come up with the values they did come up with for those 2.

    I honestly don't think they give it that much thought.

    I get the feeling that, as much as we bag fanhub, they're only doing as much work as the NRL will pay them to do. Although I guess they've had similar issues in other sports with their software as with NRL Fantasy?

    I'd somewhat buy into that if they weren't continually changing the whole platform every time they finally manage to get it right

    That whole re-brand last year was the NRL's decision AFAIK. Fanhub did say they had a hell of a lot of problems getting the fantasy app to talk to the NRL's new user auth system (for logins, that's why there were so many problems with people logging in last year, but yeah, maybe fanhub just didn't have techs that were skilled enough to deal with it).
