    Yeah thanks @Canes4life for setting up the conference, should be fun. I remember doing a fantasy rugby many years ago, think I was still a teenager, and it was similar to this except the budget was much lower so you'd have to select cheaper players you thought would score well. And if they did, you'd see their value rise as more people picked them so your team became worth more. On the flipside, if your players did badly their value would drop. One gothca was that you had to act fast when teams were selected or if players got injured as their value would drop sharply if they were not playing the next round and you could lose quite a lot of money if you didn't sell them quick enough. Hoping this one will be similar to that.

        I assume with players being ruled out on the day of the game this gives players the chance to make a last minute trade.

        I’m also assuming like last year, all teams will be named at the same time.

          No sweat, I’ll probs be down the bottom by the end of the season but it’s all a bit of fun.

            I am officially dumber for having read Caleb Clarke's mealymouthed non-explanation for removing himself from Fantasy.

              @Smudge You got me - I just had to go read it.
              The first line of the "article" irritated me. And then indeed - mealymouthed non-explanation after nonsense say-nothing after vague bullshit. The ONLY conclusive thing he said was - not religion.
              Is he aware that SuperBru has been doing a Fantasy Super Rugby thing for years - and he is very much available to be selected on that?

                Imo he doesn't want the possible distraction of his fantasy value to distract him from the game. Just a guess

                  I'm absolutely fine with the other 3 opting out but Clarke was going to be the first name on my team sheet so that is annoying

                    Seems ok, but perhaps a little basic, and doesn't require a lot of thought, when you have the budget to basically add anyone.
                    But I'll give it a shot, till I forget to change it up and end up at the bottom.

                      Despite the apparent instructions about being able to change before every game I'm only making changes once a week before game 1 of that round.

                      Changing EVERY game makes no sense to me, and I can't make the time to watch them all live, or be on my phone at prescribed times.

                      Will make little difference to my finishing position I'm sure.

                                    Player selections for this week are in. I’ve changed my team about ten times, wasting too much time so have locked in my team and ain’t going to look at it again. Injuries have made it pretty difficult.

                                    Anyone using any boosters this week? Brave if you do.
