Bump

If they play Taylor on the bench he could swap from 13 to 9 for 6 or 7 mins on each half and move back to 13 once grant comes back on... That means they can carry Lawrence which would mean lucy goes for a spell I'd imagine

Braidon Burns is my favourite for a discount at good scores. Otherwise most people are hoping for a cheapie to grab a start

I like Burns also. Devil's advocate: does having Mitchell and to a lesser extent Sua and Lowe (instead of Sutton and Surgess) change the focus of the attack to disadvantage Burns somehow I haven't thought of?

Whar are expecting? 80 minutes and 50+ points.
but us fantasy fans aren't always known for realistic expectations

I’m expecting Garner to play 80mins, Luciano 54mins and Chee Kam 26mins.

If Luciano plays 54mins I’d say his average will be 44-45 his tackle busts and offloads will help.

What do you guys think of my team?

Grant
James/Merrin, Knight
Taumalolo (c), D Fifita, Su'A
Croft, Brimson
Lomax, Burns
Isaako, Papenhuyzen, Tedesco

J Williams, Carrigan, B Brailey, Best

Luai, Leniu, Magoulias, Smith-Shields

Cleary, Mann
Best, Milne
Papenhuyzen, Isaako, Lomax

Carrigan, Koroisau, BBrailey, Grant

Luai, Magoulias, 2 of JCurran/Musgrove/Rudolph

Both Cook and Haas seems like overkill. Would suggest having one of them as captain and finding value from spending the extra money elsewhere.

Could SST see enough of a bump in role to elevate to 50 average? Tetevano gone and JWH was reportedly being shopped..

Probably not but hes an interesting one.

I think SST will average 50, I think he did last year before the injury and reduced minutes coming back. He was definitely on my long list, but I think there’s better options

don't think so, Cody plays on the left and Mitchell played left centre for easts so I'm assuming he'd be more comfortable attacking on that side, and if so we could see a fair bit of the play going down that side which would help Burns scoring (conversely that may help whichever one of Lowe and Su'A plays on the left)

You're putting a lot of faith in two relatively inexperienced HOKs. The ultimate goal is to end up with a final 17 which would likely have Cook/Smith/McInnes which is 1.2m away from those 2 players. Also having a CTR on bench isn't something I'm too fond of

I like Taumalolo pick though, but you're kind of forcing yourself to set and forget Taumalolo captain as Tedesco/Fifita are your only other options and are way too boom/bust for a captain week in week out

I look at it tbh (don’t mean to come across as rude) and wonder how you spent pretty much 9.8 mil on it.

I’d be carrying more than 2 hookers if I were you, I’d also have a gun half in there.

Also I think Teddy is gonna drop quite a bit of money, I can’t see him keeping up his 60 point average.

Forum picking up today, a bunch a familiar faces back and some new ones, happy new years guys and gals.

One of the reasons I have Lucy in my draft is that if he gets a significant role he's money, if he get's 80 he could be a gun but if I need the money or I get the heebee jeebees about his role he's an easy downgrade to guys I don't have like Williams, Hess, Sua etc.

Yeah fair enough, I just did the following trades

Teddy -> Moses (via Brimson)

Carrigan -> JMK

This way I have a 3rd hooker who also covers halves, as well as Mitch Moses. This setup has me 13k short of Cleary though

I'm a little concerned on Merrin getting back up to speed with NRL footy so I'd go with James. I'd also try to get more $ ITB at least 50k, I'm gonna aim for 100k. Did that last year and was able to grab Bateman straight away without compromising the rest of the team.

How much cash is everyone keeping spare

I think SST is on a few people's "never again" list after a few years of failing to deliver on expectations. He is too inconsistent for my liking

I am sure when SST debuted he was DPP WFB/2RF - he’s obviously spent an hour or two in the gym since that combo.

Probably one of the stronger teams going around. WFB the biggest drawback, I'd say your last NPR will need to be a WFB for coverage via Lomax.

More seriously on Tigers forwards. I would expect the edge forwards (whoever they are) to play big minutes and most of the interchanges to be used on middle forwards.

I have zero inside knowledge though, so you're really just asking some random to pull something out of their arse

Looking at the stat's over the last few seasons his role seemed to change a lot. Will he be mature and good enough to make the Edge his own?
