"Last year's debutants Xavier Coates, Herbie Farnworth and Izaia Perese are in a battle with Corey Oates for two wing positions. Kotoni Staggs is on track to claim the right centre position with Boyd leading the way in the battle for left centre."

OH. MY. GOD

Also:

Option A of Cook, Taumalolo and Su’a/Stimson

Option B of Friend, Taumalolo and D. Fifita

Luai and Mann, may do well for their team and need to be replaced after about 5 or 6 weeks. No guarantee Brimson won't be mediocre at the Titans. If Williams does take off with scoring regular 50+, he will be the gun everyone desperately does surgery on their team to try and bring in and it may not be easy. He will be a dominate half with a good kicking game in a very strong team. Makes sense that he will score well.

If Mann/Luai/Brimson exceed expectations, they are still well-affordable and I will have Luai already

Other than downgrade the guns, is there alternative ways to free up cash that I'm missing?

Friend
Haas Knight
Lolo Stimson Willams
Moses Mann
Lomax Milne
Ponga Brimson Papy

Koro BBrailey Grant Luai

Lolo and B if Fifita named to start with a decent bench.

I think I prefer option B too mate going off my gut.

Taumalolo is 64k cheaper than Cook too.

Going with Jake Friend too allows you to be more flexible in other positions too I feel.

If Williams scores 50 he will only rise 8k. Even a 60 only sees him rise 20k.  I am willing to pay that for a wait and see.

You realise Lolo is in both of those right? So it's:

Cook and Sua/stimson

vs

Friend and fifita.

B as long as fifita starts.

Yes I realise that.

I’m a big Cookie fan obviously and I’m seeing if I can talk myself into possibly starting with him but I can’t see why I would so far tbh, that’s my thinking behind throwing a couple of combos around with Cook and without Cook.

Taumalolo at 64k cheaper and the fact he plays round 12 just looks so much more appealing.

Also comes down to would I choose Haas or Cook to start with and I’d choose Haas as much as that paynes me to say.

I thought the same, then realised he was there as an alternative captain option if Cook wasnt chosen.

Very similar to my team drafts mate.

I am hoping a rookie WFB comes up and then I may shift Brimson into my halves with Cleary.

I’m also weighing up whether I go with Mann or not I’m very 50/50 on that.

I’m still eyeing off Mikaele pending what the Tigers prop rotation on their bench looks like.

Carrigan is another on my watch list.

If Cam King is on the bench for Cronulla I’ll avoid B. Brailey.

One things for sure mate injuries will happen in the 9’s and trials and then comes TLT where just when you think you’ve got things settled there will be surprises that throw us for 6 into utter chaos.
