If there are updates you could crack a ton first round. That's insane.

Rooster Booster scored 1028 points (3rd overall). Now, that really is insane. :-O

If we can get a couple more people from FFs joining your league I reckon we could end up with 4 FF's leagues in the top 4.

Sorry @Code Delta just saw this

Doesn't matter. Looks like things turned out good anyway. League top 4 to start the season.

Looks like i was the only one in top 20 that started with Cook instead of Koro. I have a big decision to make whether to join the crowd and use the extra money to improve the team elsewhere.

35th Ill take that. Had a few average players. Bit of work to do.

45th for me and the only decision I made "wrong" was one I never considered, taking Friend over Koroisau

Happy with the squad and will be banking 2 trades

79th for me.  Likely to do two of Stimson/Su'a/Lomax for Yeo and Katoa or Hopoate.  

Yeo would join Aubo as a *hopefully* set and forget centre combo...

Did what I always do and started with Afifi. Doing what I've never done and trading him straight out. Ive had to do a 2nd trade to make it work.
Aekins, Fifi out and Hampton (nice price) and Taupau in.
Prefer to save trades but that can happen later as I think these trades work.

Sometimes it blows my mind how dumb I can be. I signed up to this and created a team with literal minutes before round one lockout last week. Kind of "got it" but just starting to realise a few things that I didn't "get," at all.

One, I don't think I selected any reserves. Two, I think Supercoach is the same set up more or less and I selected the reserves as if I was selecting Emergencies in Supercoach. So I selected all the players I didn't want to play, as the players who's scores counted. Haha! What a dipshit.

I also don't think I used a very smart strategy at all spreading out the wealth as I did. I see all of y'all's much higher scores and see a bit clearer where I went so wrong. Oh well, always next year.

In any other situation I think Katoa is the logical trade in (for many I suspect for Su'a), I guess with so much uncertainty you probably should not overthink things and just bring him in. For me, the other trade is Aekins (I missed the opportunity to get him out prior to the start of the round). I would have gone DWZ but Isaako an options too.

So....

DWZ or Isaako??

Isaako. Dwz will disappoint

Stimson + Musgrove ---> Guler + Katoa

Nice and easy

Lol you weren't wrong there

Had the VC on Lolo....not sure if I should poop... maybe Haas gets 20 points less. But then (probably Musgrove's) AE wuold be 20 points less than my last reserve (J. Williams....)

I was going to go with DWZ this year thinking he has the fullback gig and should rack points up, but then looking beneath the surface he was very hot and cold last year and with the halves they have, I didn't think there was a reason it would change.

I would loop if I could, I don't have anyone in my team that won't play this round (to the best of my knowledge)

Don't have a non playing WFB you can sub in?

If you have Musgrove instead of williams, I would probably just run with Haas


That's what i'll be doing (don't have a on player to poop with anyway)

I'm didn't end up doing it, I'm not much of a pooper apart from at origin time. But isn't it how it works in vsdt - NPR 2rf comes in for Leilua. Make Leilua last reserve instead of Williams. C goes on NPR. Get double VC points. NPR gets replaced by auto emergency, which is the lowest scoring player from my 25? No?

949 for me, managed to avoid the carnage

966 for me. Traded in Cleary this week for a Moses/Cleary halves which worked well.

If I played Katoa over J Williams I'd be sitting on 1000 even right now
