Details in thread, but essentially:

-$50 buy in
-transfer is safe via PayPal

Last year we had a pool of $1650; with the winner (MTB) taking home a tidy $850.  Open to all.  If you don't have PayPal it is very easy to setup.

It says Edwards got 31 but in 50 mins (probably wrong minutes)

Minutes in a trial with unlimited interchange and 25 man squads aren't going to tell you a lot anyway...

Can't work out how to tag someone in a thread. Could someone please tag sipI1994 As he has not checked his messages. Thanks in advance.

They are. It will help explain whether a shit score was due to shit minutes. E.g. I'm getting cold feet on Croft because last week he scored 25. If he played 40min I'd be happy with that but his minutes haven't been recorded so I'm skeptical

@"Sipi1994 @"Blindside"

Blindside tagged him for you.

Not sure how it works with whatever app you use, but their is a 'mention' button at the bottom of each post that will tag them for you.

Or you can put their name in double quotes and put an @ symbol at the front.

It's better than having no minutes at all, but they can be misleading. Did they play their 25 minutes against proper opposition, or at the end of the game when all the reserve graders were on and most people were just trying not to get injured

Just trying to figure things out. Hopefully this is a reply quoting the original message. I am using the mobile version on Safari and M trying this by switching to the web version. Bloody difficult to navigate though. Lots of images everywhere. Cheers for the help.

Hey mate, you've just managed to quote someone but your text is above the quote, not around the other way. You got to crawl before you can walk but your getting close.

I'm not sure how Private Messaging works but I was of the understanding if a message that you sent remained in the sent box it hadn't been read yet, but if it was in your outbox it had been read. If that is the case then Sipi1994 has read both messages but has not replied. Maybe I'm wrong

JFH with 63 points, 47 tackles and 0 missed......WTF!?!  I wonder how many minutes he played but that's awesome for him.

Hi sorry mate will check them now

Thoughts on Nikorima as a POD? He looked really good in the trial and Seibold appears to be working wonders on him.

Yeah looked good, he and Glenn have struck up a nice combination.

I thought O’Sullivan performed really good! Put up good balls and ran the plays really well. If an injury were to occur to the halves I’d be happy with him as a backup

Quote worked fine blindside

Mobile version is easier to read but lacks some of the functionality of the main site

How will Lowe impact on Murray?

2019 Leagues. We will be getting codes out to everyone in the next 24 hours.

Everyone will get 2 codes - one for your specific ranked league, and one for the NRLFF overall league Fanatics Overall Group, or FOG).  Please action them promptly to save us chasing everyone up.

New players have been excluded from the higher ranked leagues (not that we hate you guys, but there have been issues in the past with people abandoning their teams and stuffing the averages of our top leagues. Stick around next year and all will be good).  If you are a long term and/or high ranking Fantasy player, we just have a policy of not putting newcomers into our Leagues their first time.

If you've been left out, please speak up now. Nobody intentionally omitted, not even @Archer.

Leagues are organised based on last years overall rank. If you weren't in the NRLFF overall league last year, you will find yourself in a lower league. If you think you've been dudded on your league, blame FanHub for not providing historical data, or blame yourself for being late or changing your username without telling us. Then blame me for stuffing you around, rest assured it wasn't on purpose, I have a real life too. Then realise its just a game, gun it this year and be back at the top next year.

Seedings are finalised but late comers registration welcome until 8/3/19. Jump in lads and lasses.

True that but all we can do is work with the data we have. This game is 70% luck and 30% edumagication guessing

No idea with my WFB options. Thinking a solid keeper, mid range cashy and a cow, with probably Lomax as a back up.

Ken Maumalo looks like he'll have Hiku beside him this year, averaged 27 scoring only 5 tries last season and looks like he's taken another step up. Should get more tries without Kata hogging the ball, expect to see his scores go up. Just trying to work out if they will go up enough to have him, would need to average 35, which could be a stretch..

RTS is a solid choice but can't see him putting out more than last seasons average.

I can't bring myself to pick Surgess, he's a knob and has burnt me a few times the last couple seasons. I think there is cash in McGuire if he's lock so will probably go for him. Niukore might be a good option.

Cheers for the great work to all involved. The trend continues of only being in L1 or L51. Chewie will be stoked that he snuck in right at the end

L3 clearly the most talented and also the most good looking of all those Leagues
