Its not Virtual NRL but we can still have a good game!

Could someone humour a clueless Pom?

Does Lockyer usually kick for The Broncos?

Not usually. However with De Vere off to England and no other reliable option in the starting line-up Lockyer will be the Broncos' regular kicket this season.

thats 13 teams taken, id prefer if bugs could have the last one, but i guess theres nothing stopping someone else taking it...

 

[Blewy]

I've registered a team for Bugs, just so he can get in... I've sent you your password info Bugs...

 

[bugssy]

i got that thanks but its not letting me sign in, says incorrect email or password

 

[bugssy]

dont know what happened but it wouldnt let me use blewys team that he registered for me so i re registered and the proper team is bugsy's boys

cheers lads

 

[Simon]

ok, somehow we have managed to get 15 sides into the competition, even though it says 14 teams, bugs ur gonna have to work out a way to delete one of your sides...

 

[Somerset]

Okay, I entered yesterday. I need a little help though, I have basically established my side but am not sure who to select as the kicker. Which of these players is the best kicker, or most likely to goal kick at least?

Peachey
Minichiello
Utai
Rooney
Vagana
Lockyer
Kimmorley

 

[Cloete]

Kimmorley..

Probably a bit better at kicking than Lockyer. But the Broncos might have more tries to covnert.. just see how it pans out. But you do have two good enough kickers there.

Thanks mate, the Warriors are basically the only team I know about, but at least I'm giving this competition a try though.

if covell plays for the sharks then kimmorley wont kick, lockyer will be brisbane's first choice kicker...

Looking at that side, I'm not sure Lockyer will score the most trys of those players. Keeping in mind goal kickers' points are not doubled if they are captain. I'd go with Mini or Cooper as captain....Just my thoughts anyway. This could change if we have to face each other first round, then I'd advise Hindmarsh.
