not sure how I made that oversight, jeez. It only makes me happy though with the depth.

For the record, 17 = de gois, then graham

I know people get cut when I bag other peoples teams, but...

Are seriously suggesting that Wade Graham and Issac DeGois are in a battle for the last bench spot?

Surely they will both be in the starting lineup.

I agree he deserves a spot but I don't think we will be able to fit him in anywhere.

I'm not gonna pick a team cause I think everybody's are pretty similar.

Instead I'm gonna make some "fearless" predictions. If I'm wrong then so be it. I won't neck myself.

Here it goes:

- Wade Graham will definitely NOT be on the bench.
- Mills and Wright are certainies to be in the backline somewhere. So if Flanno goes for Best/Pomm in the centres, no room for the Hot Dog.
- Taufua and/or Green definately in the 17.
- There's no way Flanno will go for 2 make shift centres. ie Taga/Bukuya
- No room for Chad, yet. But I predict he'll play more then 10 games for us this year.

Beside that I think everyone else's teams are pretty similar. I don't expect any surprises.

Agreed on Wade, but IMHO Williams will be the first winger picked and Best will be in the centres. The other 2 spots will come from Wright, Mills, Pomeroy, Feki, Wright. IMO Wright should not be in the centres.

2.Mills
3.Pomeroy
4.Best
5.Williams

im willing to give pomeroy a go with carney in the side, but if he keeps dropping the ball or forward passing or making stupid errors like tackling someone without the ball i say replace him and give either Feki or Leutele a go

One things for sure I reckon we will see an extended bench with two, three even four to be omitted.

And how annoying is that for fantasy league players. I really don't see the sense in it unless there are injury clouds.

Who gives a crap about fantasy league players? Reality league surely has to do what it does without caring about the outcomes for some silly game people play online.

The reason he will name an extended bench is because we would genuinely find it hard to fit some players into the 17. The ones named 18 onwards are given the reassurance that they only just missed out, and could possibly even work really hard to get a last minute change of heart in their favour. I don't think with Flanagan it's ever been a way to attempt to trick the opposition or anything stupid like that. It's only if someone in the starting 17 has a possible injury or if someone really was close to making the side.

So maybe if anything it should help with fantasy? If we have a centre named at 18 maybe one of the starting ones is injured or a chance of being dropped on form? Stuff like that.

Your argument is ridiculous. Name 30 players if you want but only 17 are going to play. It shows total disrespect to the average punter. He knows his top 17 and if he doesnt by now then I guess there is a reason why he is rated number 16 out of 16 of coaches.

Just simply exclude anyone from 18 onwards then you dumb ****wit.

It's exactly the same as a team listing 17 players. The coach can change his line up either way. Having the extra players there at least let's you know what any possible changes could be. ****ing Newcastle school systems.

Yeah, I'm the ****wit. There is no reason why a first grade coach can't name his starting 17 for the following round barring injury. Most coaches do it why can't Flanagan. It reeks of Ricky ball. Do you really think it's fair considering how big both NRL punting and Fantasy football is these days that a coach can't formally decide on his top side by Tuesday? There is no need to name anymore than the 17 you expect to play unless you are trying to be smart. Now tell me again MB who is a ****wit. I'd suggest more people agree with me than you. Start a poll if you disagree.

Now I've been accused of being many things on here but dumb has never been one of them. It may of been a spur of the moment comment MB but if you want to run with this and pop open a can of worms then so be it. I'll make you my bitch by round 5.

I think at the en of the day a coach wouldn't really give a **** whether you or me got the ****s because e named a few extra players, now I agree with you tef, it's ****ing annoying in fantasy, but live with with?
