Interesting that the Bulls & Prospectors have been slotted behind the Blowflys. Being that they only won 8 games last year and only picked up some youngkids that may only play a handful of games this year.

One man band it is! Interchange ratings is one of those strange results created by anysystem that focuses solely on numbers- Dempster (77.6) and Bastinac (77.4) -total 155 are weaker than Curnow (87.1) and Crisp (85.70) - total 172.8. Agree all of those should improve, but 4 of them aren't in the best team at the moment, so it'll take a decent jump in their numbers to be a net benefit to the starting XV.

From memory they finished around 5 spots lower than their total points count.
You could say I'm more than somewhat unhappy with that... Although I am reasonably pleased with my reasonable opportunity to reasonably finish as high as 5th based on Damo's reasonable predictions.

I'd also like to know exactly how many games all my players will play and predict injuries 2-3 months in the future. It would really help with trading

No worries, mine was more a general comment on the silence in the forum, just can't wait for the season to start.The delay to the start of the season due to the world cup is really dragging along!
