I was on my phone at work. I checked the Mafia thread a couple of times, after which the phone was in my pocket. The mobile version of LU doesn't give notifications.

Done and done, Tonto.

How much freedom do we have to name players out of position (Soward at halfback, for instance, where he played when he first came to Saints)?

I'm glad you asked. Every position can play alternate positions in the sim:

Fullback: Wing or 5/8th
Winger: Fullback or centre
Centre: Wing or back row
Five Eighth: Halfback or lock
Halfback: 5/8th or hooker
Prop: Second row
Hooker: Halfback or lock
Second Row: Centre or prop
Lock: Hooker or 5/8th

There are also utilities in the game, but they're few and far between. At the outset of the season you can nominate a real life position for a player - so Soward could be a halfback or a five-eighth, for example.

Draft order is in post #1...

I'm going to pick Maria Hargreaves just to spite you.

He can ride the year out in fantasy reserve grade

 

[afinalsin666]

Missed the tanks in the draft results mis.

 

[Misanthrope]

Fixed, mate.

Given it's quite late, I'll assume thorson fell asleep. Overnight drafts are tough on six hours, so I'll suspend the deadline. Thorson has until 10am tomorrow morning or he'll get a random pick.

 

[Jason Maher]

Just give him Brett Finch.

 

[Dutchy]

Get me the Florida Panthers best 6. Aka the kiwi one mis

 

[thorson1987]

Kvam pick Ryan Hinchcliffe.

 

[pennywisealfie]

Brasilia select Jonathan Thurston

 

[Didgi]

Maunder you raging fgt, not so keen on picking Broncos when they're doing shit hey? Or anything to stop Micky getting Thurston for the 7000th year in a row?

 

[pennywisealfie]

Theres a reason why Micky wins all the time....JT.
