If you stick with this would you not use a trade on your CTRs and forego players like Latrell/Hopoate later in the year that might average more or would you stick with CTRs that might not score at the same level

If I was picking a 2nd expensive CTR alongside Burns I’d also probably lean towards Staggs over Leilua. Slightly undervalued with a few bench appearances and still has high ceiling and may be outside D Fifita/TPJ who can open up gaps for him

I like the thinking of two gun halves, but I think Croft is an absolute must-have at 536k, he'll be getting enough kick metres to hedge against the risk of him not scoring much else, similar to what Wighton was doing last year.

I actually had Cleary in my team but swapped him for JFH since my FRF was very weak (had Carrigan there since I couldn't afford both Knight and Fotu) and I could just move Brimson up to half, Lomax to WFB and get my high upside POD in BJ at CTR.

I was having the same issue Mulvy. I think Mann is too expensive for 18/19 man and I really don't like trusting him as my second half. If my team structure had me running 2 halves above him with Mann in 14-17 I would be happy with it but I don't think he outscores any of the hookers(Friend, Koroisau, Brailey, Grant)

I agree re Best, I am looking to miss him, but it does depend a little on what other options come up. If Milne starts round 1 I will probably take a punt there, I see no reason why he can't average close enough to Best to make the price difference worth it. Biggest worry for Milne would be his job security though.



Toot toot all aboard!! But nah, I can't trust him. He might play 50 and sub for Peachey who comes on and runs around on that left edge. Just don't knwo whats going to happen there. If Carty was going to play close to 80 though, he has definite value.




I've come around on picking Paps. I'm still not as sold on him as others, but to see him go big as a non owner is a bigger risk to start the season than owning him for low to mid 30s. I can't see him being a complete flop so its a risk free selection. The Storm always start the year strongly as well.



Has anyone looked into why he averages 27 tackles a game at 5/8 across 8 or so games in 2018/2019? Did he sub into hooker or something during those games? Just seems too high.

For the record, I reckon Mann averages 29. I can't see a lot for him to do, Pearce will dominate the kick metres, Ponga will dominate the play making on the left. Mann might benefit somehow there but I think he'll be a catch and pass 5/8




Its probably not a make or break decision but its a very tough one, and one for me that may just come down to the fact that Brimson plays round 12. I'm considering Paps/Isaako/Brimson as my back three but then I look at that and it feels a little too mid range. You can make a case for both players. Again, hard to see either being a complete flop as well, both have reasonable runs on the board.

I can't see myself having more than 5 2RFs in my squad (maybe 6 if a cheap DPP FRF turns up)
There are way more than 5 options I'd be happy with in my team

I am way more concerned about leaving out the wrong player than about not having a viable option
