    Been burnt before by picking playmakers over folks that score points. Eg a goal kicking half back is way better than a halfback that stands out from the others. In fact having a goal kicker in every one of the inside back positions isnt a bad idea. Tackle busts and pilfers also score highly

    And either Bismarck or Cheese as hooker,

    Bismarck gets as many points as a good flanker (pilfers score highly) and Cheese scores plenty of tries, which is a complete bonus for a hooker.

    Agree re Bismarck but they never seem to play him for the eighty and often not even the sixty! Need a hooker that's going to do at least 60+.

    See, with the old rules, loading up you backs with kicking options really paid off. A few years back, with the rule changes, it seemed that era had ended? In lieu of flankers getting bucket loads of points just for showing up, and hookers bank rolling the team with every line out steal!

    I have steam powered internet here in Bayswater (very old copper). So the Fox Fantasy page is problematic for me at best. Two days ago i had to clear my cache so it would let me log as a new user and help a mate create a team. now i cant find the login widget that allows me to login back to my old account. This is because the page never seems to finish loading..

    Been trying to login for 2 days now with no luck.. Chrome either times out the page or it just stops before the login widget appears on the screen.

    Anyone got any ideas how to get around this? If someone could tell me where the login widget actually is, maybe I could just click there and see if it lets me in even though it's not showing yet.

    And yes, i'll join the TWF league when i get back in..

    I managed to get ion by finding the login widget on my phone and clicking on that area of screen on my PC...
    But man is Foxtel really serious about having people do this? Their site moves like cold treacle.

    As I said before, my net is not great. But sites work with a little patience..

    Fox super coach on the other hand is just awful. Is anyone else frustrated with it?

    Shot myself in the foot by picking two players that haven't returned back from their japanese commitments and two injured players in the same position. Useless!! But yes I'm finding it very frustrating trying to do picks and it is so slow. Also took forever to update the scores. . Why do we have to wait till Wednesday to find out how we did??

    Totally agree..
    If you're going to host this sort of thing Foxtel? Give the site some bandwidth and have our scores ready Monday morning.

    Why did they change from the old one, I can't see any new functionality, only grindingly slow updates and stupid UI issues

    Couldn't agree more with all the coments above. Also why can we only have 14 pax in a league? Have been trying to merge the two on iPad but just doesn't work. I've been trying to copy it to excel but that doesn't work. Will try to use computer over the weekend if I have a couple of hours to kill😉
    Bring back the old one!
    I'll start a thread on the crowd on the FOXTEL web site hopefully others will complain and maybe they will sort it out!
