I can't remember a pre-season with so many good looking options at centre.

None as good looking as this guy:

Nicely, they have been shaped up, originally we said:

4- Registrations close Midnight Thursday 28/02/19. Latecomers League registration will open Friday 01/03/19 and close 08/03/19.

5- League Registration codes will not be sent until the weekend after Registration has closed.


Your playing VSDT draft - you should join the league too. We still need numbers.

There's so many I'm lining them up in my backrow

Bird has just snuck out of my team.
With Holland, Nikora, and Centurion Club Member Capewell currently in my team I should have enough cover for CTR.

If Bateman starts at lock he will be in my team. I watched some highlights of him earlier this year and he is a very strong, quick, TB guzzler!

He is super expensive but i reckon Lock is his best position and will excel there. Could possibly be a wait and see? BE of 40, i dont think he will make too much money too quickly.

Id love to pick Bateman and I tried to fit him in a few weeks ago but it just hurts other areas. I may have another look when we have a bit more certainty on team lists (eg Nikora and other cheapies).

Thing is, hed have to do amazingly well to regret not starting with him. If he scores 45s youre probably going to hate seeing seeings with basement centres who score 35s and make bulk coinand finding that extra 10pts elsewhere from money saved at centre.

Too expensive. Can pick up Radley for 90k less. Presents the same risk/reward in my view.

Canberra forward pack looks solid, not sure he will get the 80 with tapine, whitehead, and big pap there.

593k makes him an impossibly bad gamble though, is anyone genuinely interested in him round 1?

if it wasn't for Capewell and Holland and Nikora being around, i'd probably be tempted. But I think there are safe value bets around, so will pass on him to start.

Won't be massively surprised if he kills it, but not a risk I am willing to take at the moment

ARLC Chairman Peter Beattie and @NRL CEO Todd Greenberg are expected to hold a media conference at 12:45pm

Not really competing with Radley though - Bateman's appeal is primarily at centre, although I agree iwth others re better value in cheaper options.

I tend to agree re mins, probably plays 60 or so

I bring your attention to the forum rules

https://www.nrlfantasyfanatics.com/t56-rules

and the distinct lack of the terms bribery or corruption.






Think about that

Also says no soliciting or begging

Apparently Dylan Walker will also be stood down for up to 3 months.

That should open the door for Garrick if he wasn't already a strong chance.

Almost about to get confirmation anyway.

And unless we get a few last minute registrations you are in L51 Chewie.

Oh you are saying for a CTR spot?

Didn't even notice the DPP.

Hm makes it more interesting but their is already so much value at CTR this year.

Think that's the first time i've ever said that before.

What's the story behind this rule : Page Fifty One Parties are not allowed to occur while Filthridden is on.

Oh good. I was getting ready to send some D-pics to the right mod as bribery
