The best entertainment money can't buy for the next six months or so. Bring it on!

I think its really difficult to predict. Roosters have lost Cronk and Mitchell, Raiders still look light up front, Storm have issues in the backs, Sea Eagles are likely to start the season without AFB and Jake Trbojevic and they don't have a hooker. Sharks have to replace Gallen and get the best out of Shaun Johnson, Broncos don't have a half back. Bunnies have to replace Sam and integrate Latrell.The only one of last year's top 8 that looks just as strong is Parra and they usually flatter to deceive. Or the chocolate soldiers from the far west? Top 4 : Storm, Roosters, Eels, Sharks Next 4 : Cowboys, Bunnies, Panthers, Tigers In contention : Broncos, Knights, Raiders, Sea Eagles No chance : Titans, Dogs, Dragons, Warriors

Evalds taken out in the air. Penalty Saints.

Diabolical refereeing. There is no way Kendall should have been given this match ahead of Thaler, Hicks or even Child. He has been incompetent all season.

My CP13 is Taumalolo - but it could easily become Payne Haas if he builds on this season.

Winners will be Roosters, Storm, Sharks and Eels. Points 12., Poll 2

So, getting prepared for 2020, who do you reckon we will have to pick in our teams to start the new season if we want to be successful?

With injuries to high profile players and Ricky resting a number of the Raiders big boys (including Bateman) who is going to be able to field 17 fit and useful players in the Grand Finals? I bet one or two of you are begging for more trades!

Disappointed to have been knocked out at the semi final stage, but its been a blast. Hope the Flat Capper Select give the Airlie Birds a good seeing to in the grand final. Many thanks to the other Graham for organising the league. I'll be back next year!

Yes I have. Was thinking Klemmer or Papalii to cover both second row and prop, but that would mean ditching Taumalolo. Can I buy some more trades please? An extra four should be ok ........

I am carrying both Fifita and Taumalolo. Neither are fully fit and both take up a lot of cash. Which to replace and with who?

Down to the last one. Desperate to use it but daren't just in case. Might have to if Dennis and his Dragoons look too strong this week.

I believe there are 16,027 leagues so we are in the top 40%

Sorry, I should have responded earlier, but its been a funny old week.... The top teams are valued at $13m plus. $11 plus is remarkable with so many trades left - I have flogged myself daft to get to just over 12.

What is the value of your team? You must have picked a near perfect squad at the start of the season.
