Teams will not have 2 byes next year

Knew it would be moved.

nah i deleted it and made a topic here :)

[Colliwobblers]

still need to sort out how to fix DT ad SC so the byes aren't the debacle they were this season with donuts unavoidable and too many trades required.

but 1 is better than 2 :)

Ah.

[LF]

Yeah agree Colli this years byes were a complete debacle
they should look at how the rugby fantasy comps are run they seem to work ok.

[Kellogscrunchynut]

I would like to see them go back to the split round or just an entire week off.

[Zombie2.5]

Is that a good thing? ::)

Phew, there's only 1, wait.... DID YOU JUST SAY THERE"S STILL MBR's NEXT YEAR?? fmdt.  >:(

Im in the minroity here but I hate the MBRs from a viewer perspective but I actually like them for DT, the game was getting too easy. having 2 would have destroyed DT but having 1 would be great. I just hope next year all the fantasy relevant players dont happen to get rested and injured again.

[Windigo]

They just need to find a better way to get around it better.

Giving people an extra trade wasn't really enough & hopefully with some feedback they figure out a better idea.

Thank god, best news Ive heard in a while. :)

yeah, for the past 2 years I agree. But without expansions clubs and heaps of rookies with good js? :/

Fox sports fantasy Rugby League
They get 3 trades a week then during the multi bye and State or Origin rounds the get 6 trades on those weeks.

yeah that sounds alright but i reckon 6 would be a bit too many... i reckon 3 on bye rounds maybe 4 on MBR's plus an extra position covering would be nice ;)
