Welcome to the ‘team reveal’ addition of the Road to Ranked column — a season long documentation of my NRL Fantasy season.

We’ll be going through all the trials and tribulations of a NRL Fantasy Coach on weekly basis, and we hope to pull out some valuable tips and insights that’ll help you in managing your own side.

The weekly write-ups will be broken into two main sections in ‘Team Review’ and ‘Forward Planning’.

Some of the topic areas within these broader categories are listed below.

Team Review:

Captaincy, Overachievers, Underachievers, and Cash Generation.

Forward Planning:

Dilemmas — injured, dropped or suspended players, the chopping block, trade-in targets, how the squad is shaping up overall with respect to banked trades, cash in the bank and team value, and early looks to captaincy for the week ahead.

Pop our website in your favourites on your browser and check back in every week for all the good oil in addition to our weekly podcast.

For now, here’s my Round 1 squad at time of writing.

I’d love to hear your thoughts — say g’day to me on Twitter @otlfantasyrl any time.

Justin.
