The dude is a beast, if he can handle 80 definitely

I'll be watching the Cowboys trial. If it goes ahead. I hear it's going to be windy.

Shaun Lane is good but dunno about getting a full 80

Brown, Ma'u, Terepo, Moeroa and Lane

Latest iteration has Cleary, Croft, Morgo, brown and Keighran in my 1-17 is this too full on? Hahah

With the massive list of cheapie WFB’s this year does that mean it shouldn’t be too detrimental to have one in your 1-13. If they fire, ya laughing, if they dud it, quick jump onto whoever is firing? Or should I run with the likes of Turbo, Hughes/Skullbeer, Dedwards/Catson? With the cheapies in my 18-21?

So many thoughts and pretty much no answers because this game is 99.9999969 percent chance and luck.







You know what, best bet, go with the gut. If only I could make a team full of Lewis Browns and Maubbs

I'll be running the RObD0g Memorial Fantasy Cash Comp again this year

Will start a new thread over the weekend for discussion on entry and prize breakdown. For those who weren't in it, this is how we ran it last year:

-$50 buy in
-ended up at $1650 total prize pool
-MTB took home $850 of our hard earned, and deservedly so after his one man nrlfantasy.com.au site worked better then the official one
-DK took the runner up $400; Russ the $200 3rd prize; and Milchy with the $200 Weekly
-entry by PayPal which means it's a safe transfer
-happy to set up the same or shake it up depending on the vox pop

It would be great to get things up in the 2k or 3k zone this year whether by increased numbers or increased stake. A $1000 plus first prize would be awesome!!!


Feel free to throw some ideas around now or wait till the new thread is running.

Somewhat unrelated, here's a cool video for Warriors fans (probably just me)

Surprised to realise the Warriors have made 8 finals appearances lol

Running 2 mids (DrinkWatson) and a Cow at this stage.

At WFB I'm looking at either 2 mids and a cow (Watson, Edwards, CNK at this point) or maybe Teddy and 2 cheaper options.

Cheers.

Fotuaika is in teams purely because of reports there is a player power push for him to start.
If he starts he should get 40+ easy. If he doesn't start, most will dump him

Burr is creeping into more and more teams as part of the playing 17?

What are people expecting of him? 30 points? 40 points? the next Simon Mannering

Is he another John Palavi (Warriors starting lock in round 1 2014, scored 24 points in round 1. And 12 points total for the rest of the season)

No expectation here and expect will prob give Keighran the 17 jersey come kick off.

For me he is a no brainer at the price. Get around 5-6 weeks of rises then turn him into the fresh man on the scene Payne Haas after he gets couple of games under his belt

Thoughts on Guler?

IN every year
Thanks for organizing again buddy

Just fiddling around with some stats, this is a list of all players who scored over 1000 points in 2018 (speaking of Shaun Lane, I'm surprised he's there), and their average over the first 5 rounds of 2018, and their season average. All 25 were lower than their season average, over the first five rounds.

Its probably meaningless. The heat in the early rounds obviously plays a part, some match fitness, and the ref crackdown to start last season really slowed alot of games down. It looks like the ref crackdown is CANCELLED this year!

If anyone has some numbers they'd like to see, let me know and I'll try if I can work them out.

I'm a MASSIVE Drinkwater fan boy, but if you think Meaney is going to get to 600k then you have to pick him first.  Essentially that means they will score around the same for your team and Meaney will earn you the extra 400k that you got to spend somewhere else by NOT picking Drinkwater in the first place.

I have no idea about Meaney's potential personally, but I hope that makes sense.

I'm keen starting Drinkwater, I've got a gut feeling he can be one of the fantasy succes stories this season

Love me some Lane, wish the Tigers had have grabbed him before Manly did, but what are we thinking with the Eels bench? Smith/Pritchard/Salmon grab a utility spot?

He will be in my starting WFB; one of my few certainties at this stage. Worst case scenario I have to use a trade to bring Hughes in, who I love as well!

TBH I'm not touching him regardless of if he starts. I think he gets 25/30 minutes max with Tevaga playing bulk minutes off the bench like last year.

Currently I'm sitting on
Teddy, Edwards and Drinkwater... with all the cheapies populating the EMG

Thanks MTB
Would you be able to make a list of the 2018 sub 300k cashcows in the WFB/CTR position. I would like to see how many were studs vs how many were duds
