Hess and Stimson not certain starting 13
Isaako may play wing
Croft I've gone off atm but might have to get instead of Cleary priced half to fit other players in
Grant doesn't look like happening

If they start Wright over Hess they’re mad.

Hess looks the fittest I’ve ever seen.

I think Nathan Brown is 3-4 points underpriced, I see him at about that 51-52 avg.

Can’t fit him in right now though.

If he named TLT straight in my team. Large majority of Cows fans on forum have Wright starting as well as predicting it's Greens choice

Which one?

I dont have any of those players in my team.

"I told Ricky Stuart I wanted to play lock this year. I think they're going to look at someone else to go into the 2nd row. I want to start at lock this year & I want to play lock all year."

If Horsey gets 2RF for a few weeks, he is straight in my team at FRF

Hess

Yeah I've had one of him and Leilua pencilled in depending on lists and very keen now. Would consider both if both named to start. I'd prefer Hess though, if he gets the start, I think he's more likely to keep it, Green doesn't make many changes no matter how badly they are going. That'll be a lethal edge, Hess, Marsters, Feldt.

What do you see in Woods, other than some strong runs at the Nines? Are you expecting a massive jump in his minutes? He averaged 44.2 mins last year and averaged 39.9, but even for games going over 50+ mins in the last two years, he still only averages about 40 over 19 game sample size. You need to go back to his Tigers days when he regularly found 60+ mins for him to significantly improve his average (57, elite FRF gun) and I doubt he find those kinds of minutes in that Sharks pack.

Is there an ETA on Bateman yet?

Neither do I. But I like both Merrin and Knight if they are starting locks, will only need about 50+ there

I'm not hugely keen on Woods, just illustrating that at that price point there are heaps of options and I can balance the rest of my squad with that spend and so I can be relatively happy with the way I am going about building my squad. And no-one knows for sure yet where Gallen's and Prior's minutes are going.

Yeah they're my favourite two of my list. Merrin has the pedigree, Mofo only very young and coming of zero attacking stats and fun to watch.

Very true. But you would think Fifita and Uele would eat a fair bit between them (minutes that is, but also food)

True, we are guessing though. I mean could Bukuya start at lock??

What a scandal on TLT that would be, Williams in 32% of teams

Now that the 9’s are done I’ve just made another draft: (7k spare)

Friend
Haas (C) Knight
Hess Taumalolo Su’a
Cleary Drinkwater
Watkins S. Crichton
228k Brimson Pap

Koro Levi B. Brailey Stimson
Luai Musgrove Magoulias Saab

Pretty happy  with it.

He’s been in and out of my side, not in it currently, but if Hess doesn’t start I then have to look at Williams or Luciano.

Would have thought Magoulias would have been the other option
