Firstly, thanks to all the contributors on the site for their efforts. Now on coachkings, I wouldn't mind playing but I can't (and you can call me a troglodyte) but I can't because I don't have (shock/horror) a mobile phone. Cheers

All you need is an internet connection so you can play on a PC/Mac – no mobile device required. Just go to the CoachKings website and create a login.

Yeah what SC says Cuddles – just jump onto http://www.coachkings.com.au on your computer and BANG – you're away!

Sorry boys, have been away for a few days – to be clearer it won't let you register without a mobile phone no and I don't have a mobile phone.

This pre-season CoachKings s a bit of a head scratcher. You have to factor in how many minutes you think players will get. The bigger guns are probably only going to play a half or so, so I reckon there can be better value in a guy who's on the cusp of the best 22, or a rookie. Of course, I'm hopeless at any time of the year, so what do I know.

You're on the money there Ruck – VERY difficult to predict TOG and there's real validness with your up and comers – esp young key position backs I've found. Key position players are rewarded much more robustly for intercept marks & spoils in CK than in other formats

Is it too early to enter a team?

Went into the site via the link attached and up coming was blank.

Maybe jumping the gun a bit?

SCaddict · 23/02/2017 at 14:34
Nah mate I can access it just fine right now and edit my side on PC. So you must have an issue at your end.

jockreynolds · 23/02/2017 at 15:07
Gday Joe – sounds as if you're heading to "My Upcoming" before you've entered the contest. Just click on the "Enter" button next to the Saints v Port contest old mate

I have the same problem using a Macbook. App on my phone works fine though.

Alfie · 23/02/2017 at 16:52

Hey Jockster what do the "S", "E" and "I" mean alongside the player names?

Fatboyfat7 · 23/02/2017 at 16:55
I think it's Starting, Emergency and Interchange…

Hey community, how are the scores worked out for each player. Just selected my first team and looking foward to a great year of fantasy footy.

Is there somewhere i can check last yrs averages?

Jake · 23/02/2017 at 17:54

g'day – any venue games in Melbourne tonight or just play at home for the preseason?

TRIGGER HAPPY · 23/02/2017 at 18:19

Got a similar problem to Joe
Can get in but there is no team to select and just a black blank screen
Tried computer, tablet and mobile.
Same result – weird
Unless someone can suggest something think i will be watching from the sidelines – Sigh

SCaddict · 23/02/2017 at 18:57
That's a bugger Trig. I haven't had any issues whatsoever using Chrome on PC, editing my side multiple times during the day, including right now. So am stumped as to what is giving you and others these troubles on multiple platforms.

TRIGGER HAPPY · 23/02/2017 at 19:10
Was fine Last week quite enjoyed giving ck a go.
Defence stuffed me both times think they sat on the bench for a qtr 🙁
Now just a black screen with "about us" no matter what selection you make.
Probable team:
Newnes, hartlett
Billings, SPP, Wines, Steele
Ryder
Acres, Wingard

shane · 23/02/2017 at 18:21

Having trouble with the site. Cant load up lobby or my contests. Using both android app and laptop.

shane · 23/02/2017 at 18:34
Just comes up with 'about us' when i select anything from the menu

TRIGGER HAPPY · 23/02/2017 at 18:39
Same

hedski · 23/02/2017 at 19:05

I just managed to create a new team easily, have to email Jock now to delete my first team (I can't access it).

hedski · 23/02/2017 at 19:08
P.S. I'm not using app Ive hit the link from website on my phone using chrome.

hedski · 23/02/2017 at 19:22
What's your email again jock?

BeaglieBoy · 23/02/2017 at 19:29

Cant access my team either

Holty · 23/02/2017 at 20:19
