He'll be going after week 1 anyway while Wigan go on holiday!

Thanks Foxy. That's a pretty impressive score.

Cheers for that! realised who when i seen your team v Salford.

Got a few changes in mind to cover Charnley and Smith in Wigan's absence, then it'll be back to my first choice team

What if you put Carvell in your team and he ends up at hull fc but you've already got 3 players from that team ?

Got my team sorted. Hopefully, won't need too much tinkering after week 1. Got a feeling most people will only get kicking points for one person for the first game of the season.

The trick is which one

I'm guessing you'd be able to keep him but once you change him out, you're back to 3 players per team.

Correct.

3 players in action for me tonight!

I've got 4 playing in tonight's game, but that means I will probably be four short next weekend unless I have to change some of the four due to injury. I'd rather take that hit and save changes for later in the season. It's going to be a bit of a strange start to the competition though with most of round 1 only happening next week. I reckon we may see some people going overboard and using 6 changes before next Thursday.

I hate my team!

Just joined the forum. I like the format of this game, adds a bit of spice when watching the games.
Blew the budget on Brough, but still a fairly well balanced team to start the season with
Coach :Brian Noble
1 : Jamie Shaul
2 : Tom Briscoe
3 : Ben Crooks
4 : Jason Walton
5 : Adam Swift
6 : Stefan Ratchford
7 : Danny Brough
8 : Kyle Amor
9 : Daryl Clark
10 : Anthony Laffranchi
11 : Gareth Hock
12 : John Bateman
13 : James Donaldson

Probably should have checked the injury lists before making some one off changes to crowbar some Wigan players in for tonight.

Maximum points potential from the first game is 60!

How many came close?

24 I think. Happy with that!

Had 3 players for tonight all from Huddersfield

Jodie Broughton (didn't play)

Larne Patrick (Went off badly injured, so will likely have to make a change there)

Danny Brough captain (missed 3 from 5 kicks and missed a drop goal, 18 points blown there)

A score of 17 points tonight

McGillvary as captain - 30pts
2 of Brough, Grix and Ferres - 7pt each = 14pts
Thornley = 5pts
Burgess = 5pts
Other Wigan player =1pt

I make that 56 points.

That adds up to 55. I can't see how you would manage to get 60 either.

I got an unspectacular 15 points but seem to have avoided injuries at least.

5 players in last night only 10 points I think...took McGilvery out last week



still its only the first game of Round 1

Whoops yes, 55.

If either Thornley or Burgess was selected as a captain

Did I miss the rule change where you can have 2 players scoring double points?

Hey, what can I say?

I'm living proof that men can't multi task
