my tv broke wrote:I guess the worry may be if NAS plays more time on an edge again, it may take away from Stimsons minutes. Tk be honest, I can't remember how the Storm were using NAS toward the end of the year. With Glasby gone though, youd think Stimson gets big mins on the edge as they'll need to make up the slack in the middle.

Stimson has never exactly poured on the points. Where are they coming from?

I agree & I also think Capewell & Sorenson are too. All 3 are plodders but they're cheap.

I reckon Capewell is gold in the CeNtres. He’s guaranteed a starting spot imo.

In games over 60 mins last year he avg'd 40. That's what people are expecting.. and hoping for 45..

What do you suggest he will average?

Stimson had 13 games where he was on the field for 57 minutes or more (average across those 13 games was 74 minutes for an average of 41 points).
That is what you can expect. Points come mainly from tackles (average 34 with 2 misses, 1 TB, 80 metres gained, 0.7 penalties)

Find me others in second row worth being in your 17 that are about 12 points underpriced. Murray, Papali'i come to mind.

Innocent until proven guilty. Her version sounds terrible. He has 20 women fawning over him, everywhere he goes, who would bend over and willingly be plugged up the bunghole without question. I was a male stripper....I’ve seen the worst in women. Hens begging to be fucked “for the last time”. Groups of 18 yo’s just ready for anything. I saw the truth. Often.

I’ll wait for the court case, thanks.

I got a semi reading that

He’s good for 40 points, playing 80 minutes. At his price, you can’t afford him to be a benchie, so are you playing him? Not me.

What do you think a great score in round 1 would be?

I'm hoping to hit 880 based on the target averages I have assigned to my current draft 17.

Would love to see your latest squad.

If Nikora starts, you can have him at CTR too

How do you guys score 800+ first round? like wth, I'm missing something... last few years I've played, I've started mid 700s, work into stable 800s, then high 800s sometimes 900s in the latter part of the season. 2017 ended up 2800-ish, then last year 1500-ish.. Honestly didn't think 800s were possible start of the season

If you assign your own scores you can choose what you score first round. For example I think Captain Angus is due to crash over for a double netting me 200 points. Great start to the round

I was over 800 round 1 last season, placed 37th at that time from memory, if I had played Isaako instead of Katoa would have been in 1st.

All downhill from there

Fantasy rugby league has been around since at least 2002. Early versions didn't include the stats we do now and it was mostly just tries, goals, and points for being on a winning team, so rather than today's strategy of chucking forwards into the backline, you wanted to name backs in your forwards.

Just for a throwback, here are the 20 most expensive players from 2005 fantasy (sportal/sportsdeck version)
Salary cap was $3.25million

Oh sorry, you meant the forum was around since the mid 2000’s? Yep, when I joined Sportal there were posters who’d been around since 2004. Revs was 2005. But the actual DT threads were started a bit later, as you’d remember it was primarily an ‘actual’ sports forum, not DT/Fantasy at all till Sebastian Tombs and co started the DT thread.

When the Storm salary cap scandal broke there were 3000 odd posters on there at the same time, so was a massive actual sports forum (not Fantasy/DT).

Ah yep this was what I was referring to, sportal forums were fucking awesome in the mid 2000s I remember the GPS threads used to get quite a bit of traction. Only stumbled across the NRL Fantasy pages around 2010..most seasons I end up reading alot and by the time I get up to date it's too late to actually post anything haha.

High 700s will be very solid

Are we forgetting that when healthy Sorensen was preferred as starter over Capewell? Round 7(bench), round 18(centre), round 23(bench) Sorensen was the preferred starting in second row with Capewell either getting reduced minutes off the bench or in the backs. On the two occasions both started in the second row minutes were a pretty even split. Round 8(Capewell 80 minutes, Sorensen 71 minutes) and round 16(Capewell 67, Sorensen 80 minutes). The only occasion Capewell started at second row with Sorensen on the bench was in round 9 after Sorensen broke his hand, lasting a short 12 minutes before realising he couldn't play through what eventuated to a 6 week injury.

From memory the explanation was that they are left side and right side specialists, so depending on who was injured, they would select the specialist for that side.
