Is there no way of seeing who the other teams have drafted? It would be nice to be able to keep track of how each squad is shaping up. Could have an impact on how you draft your team as well. Some may draft for trade bait like selecting Josh Dugan and Billy Slater as two of your fullbacks. ;-)

I think Dogs of War had an issue with the preselection list where it picked a player for him not on his list. Also the draft has only been going 7 days and we're into the 8th round. As I said by the 26th which is the last Sunday before the season starts, we should have it mostly completed, in which case we should try and organise to knock it over that night if possible

I looked into my issue. It was due to the fact that I put 5 players on the list, but all 5 players were taken between my picks. Thus it picks a random player as per the sites rules on this situation. So it just means a much longer list of players next time.

I can think of a few things I would change about this comp. Once a player is selected, he should not be available in the pre-selection list. I know they show up in red if they are on your pre-selection list, but they should be removed altogether.

Also, you should be able to mouse over a selected player to see what team he is on.

Is anyone game to show their team lists to date as I couldn't be bothered going through each round to tally up everyone's selections so far.

Ive found the best way to keep track is to print out the guide i brought off them for $7 and ive got a black texta at work and just cross them off as they come off the board...

Hoping that my pick comes up before i finish work (roughly 2 hours), because ive got a bit of romanic night sorted with the fiancee tonight and we've agreed the PC's, phones and tele are off limit tonight

my squad so far

Matt Bowen
Matt Cooper
Gavin Cooper
Terry Campese
Mitchell Pearce
Luke Douglas
Cameron Smith
Liam Fulton
Alex Glenn

I've got f**k all in the way of decent forwards. Need to start drafting the last of the decent forwards over the next few rounds.

Harden up Nick! ffs

i plan too, right after the 2nd bottle of wine ;-)

im pretty happy with my squad, i think the backs a dime a dozen once your past the top 10 over all. I wish i had of used an earlier pick to get a top rated half but most top halves had kicker points attributed to them, and more than i could fit in, so waited until the time was right to pick up Pearce

I had my eye on Pearce but was undecided and you made up my mind for me. I think they should have had halves instead of half and five eighth. Must my opinion though.

Pretty good squad so far, I wouldnt stress too much about the halves, this title is won and lost on a consistent forward pack

I think you have picked good football players who may not necessarily be good fantasy contributors

Backs look great, however your forward pack wont be producing much unless you find some last round steals

Some very solid pieces there, interesting to see you with 2 fullbacks and 2 hookers, no props either
