I'm sure there will be a few more before the season starts. There are bound to be some injuries at the nines and in the trials. And probably a few surprise selections

Bring them on I say, I’ve probs fiddled and made 200 changes so far with probs another 1000 changes to come, am I mad and crazy?.... probably lol

Here is my hooker heavy draft

Moses Luai

Papenhuyzen Isaako Brimson

J Williams
Koroisau
Brailey
JMK

Grant
Mann
Musgrove
Moga

If I can get a good cheapie CTR and FRF to fill those last 2 spots, might end up running something very similar to this come round 1.

I really like it but I think I’ll run with Haas and probs go cheaper at centre.

I have been burnt by injury prone Burns at centre before and dunno if I have the guts to go with him again.

If he can play most of a season I have no doubt he can average mid 40’s.

I have Mansour in my current draft, time for him to get back to his best following his ACL injury.

Big call, I won’t be doing that, don’t have the guts too.

I hear he doesn't play some games either

Yeah, I got burnt by Friend, Burns and Turbo last year and am therefore avoiding all three as I don't trust them to stay fit. I hope I don't regret it... most of all Friend.

I got burnt by all 3 too but I reckon I’ll be starting with Friend at this stage and I may fully load up at prop if I don’t see enough value in Knight, James, MoFo etc.......

I think in the second row there is plenty of middle range cheaper options and if David Fifita is named off the interchange in round 1 I won’t be starting with him!

I have also got Haas, Cleary and Moses so I feel as if my mid range hookers can still get the job done for me. I reckon Levi can get some big minutes at manly and he is crafty and has a solid running game. He is also out to prove a point and comes at a great price.

Levi is one of my favourite fantasy players because fantasy loves greedy players but imo I wouldn't start with him until we know what role he plays & there's also a strong chance he'd be spelled with a utilty/hooker on the bench.

Nice team Milchy & I really like your bench.

Ok, following listening to some arguments on here on different players, have formed my first team since it was officially open for the season:

Friend
Haas (C) Carrigan
D Fifita Brown Garner
JMK Mann
Burns Harper (or other base priced center)
Papy Isaako Brimson

L. Leilua Grant Koroisau Luai
Rudolph Magoulias Toa Talau

Aiming to get as many players as possible that are potential keepers, currently a bit under-priced and a lot of really cheap players $350k or less (8 of them), plus of course the beast captain. $81k remaining.

I am seriously considering running without Paps. Im not sure its worth it though as there isnt that many options at WFB, at this stage

Are people not considering Stimson? Ive barely seen him in peoples teams. Priced at 26, averages 40 when playing over 60 mins. I cant see him not starting 2rf...

If he starts then he will come into consideration. But one thing the Bulldogs have plenty of is second rowers. You would think he wouldn’t leave the Storm without assurances of a bigger role though. That’s one that will have to wait for TLT

Jeez the UI/UX on mobile is horrible when trying to put together a team. Im ready to give up. Not even going to bother trying to convince my mates to sign up this year

Well they can keep picking the same old duds if they want to keep finishing in the bottom 4 I suppose.

Great discussion here as usual!
Hadn’t considered JMK until now....fits in with my hooker heavy team!

McInnes (C)
Fifita James
Su’A Lowe Stimson
Moses JMK
Moga Smith-Shields (or other base price)
Pappy TTurbo Brimson

Friend
Koroisau
Brailey
Grant

Luai
Magoulias
Musgrove
Lemuelu (base price WFB/CTR)

Someone mentioned earlier Cogger on the dogs bench. Lewis quoted the other day saying that he is certain that Cogger will be his halves partner in round 1

CHN, RFM and Jackson are all good players. Pay didn't commit to any of his 2RF options all last season and if the team performs badly again, I would expect more inconsistent selections again.

For some weird reason he continually named Jackson on the edge then played him at lock. It was like Jackson is superstitious about playing in 13.
