    Everyone in fantasy & sc assumed Lowe would be starting & Su'a bench.
    Does News Ltd by using the word "confirmed" have some inside info we don't or are they just speculating.

    Su'A starting in 2RF would work both for fantasy and for real life IMO

    I still don’t think Su’a would get 80mins, but no reason why he doesn’t get 60mins and maybe 65mins some other games.

    Going back to Levi the more I think about it if he’s going well Des may only give Croker or Cust say 11-12mins and in tight games he may just let Levi play 80mins.

    So as long as he is fit enough I can’t see Levi playing less than 65mins!

    Just has a go at a draft side with Levi and Molo, if an injury happens in the Broncos pack and it looks like Carrigan gets 45mins at lock then he’s straight into my side at prop.

    This draft is: (with 67k spare)

    Friend
    Haas Molo
    Su’a Williams Taumalolo
    Cleary Mann
    Lomax Watkins
    Brimson Isaako Papenhuzyen

    Koro Levi Stimson/B. Brailey Musgrove
    Luai Keppie Magoulias Rudolf

    Thoughts?
    Bump.

    Why not join the Hughes Cruise?

    You should at least put him in Mallatobuck's team!

    These are the no frills South Sydney forwards who will have to share the workload when Cam Murray moves to an edge.

    The reality is the Rabbitohs have had a superstar pack driving their success for the last decade.

    But Wayne Bennett won’t have that luxury in 2020.



    Totally agree, and it's why I'm not considering Murray or Cook this year. Rabbits will struggle to go forward.

    Additionally latrell is about as fit as a 90 year old grandma so he is going to offer absolutely no line speed, too gassed to be around the ruck and will struggle to cover the backline.

    Rabbits will struggle to make the 8 this year I think.

    I don't see what is bad about a career average of 41.5 as 2RF priced at 27 if he starts at 2RF. It's obviously dependent on TLT but Dogs would be stronger with Jackson at lock and Stimson/CHN edges vs Elliot lock and Jackson/CHN edges. RFM is injured and has played middle in 2019, as has Britt

    Hasn't your whole squad building been based on value, if so why are players who likely will get increased roles and are 10 points underpriced poor options

    It is a big assumption that he starts and even if he does, he does have a huge tendency to play big minutes and score low. Could be good as a cash cow, but not someone in your 17, unless of course he starts and plays 80.

    That is the only situation where I would have him in my team.

    I was on the Hughes Cruise last year. Customer service was reasonable, but nothing to write home about Wink

    Anyone starting with Tedesco? From memory, I've started with him for the last couple of seasons. I've not had him in a single draft (yet). Ponga has been in a draft or two but it has been fairly stable otherwise with the vanilla Papbrimaako combo

    Mallatobuck is really not that interested in fantasy Chewie, unless it involves you!

    However, as Hughes has changed his position and found a deeper more reliable base, you might consider writing to her mid-2020 and tell her how much more pleasurable it is!

    I'm really warming on taking a punt on Suli in my centres. He looked immense at the end of the season. 388K, could give out Burns like scores for a lot cheaper.

    I think that Grant being an option actually varied teams a bit more. Gave us all a bit of extra cash to consider more options.

    Will make people take more of a punt on different players for sure.

    Dunno, I'll just be swapping him with another 250k player (at this point)

    In the hope that one shows up? Or one we already know about (eg Luai, Musgrove, Saab)..? Dont know that I can risk playing one of those guys in my 17.

    Hard to judge at this point with so much uncertainty over roles and positions. No real way to settle on 3 x 2rfs imo

    I'll probably be playing 2 250kers in my 17. Mitigating some risk by spending a bit more on guns. Not much different to the usual structure but obviously I'd prefer some sure thing cheapies
