    He is unlikely to be fantasy relevant this year, playing behind a number of regulars at the storm (look, that's probably why he hasn't been mentioned), but he looked twice the player from where he was 12 months ago. He'll be good. Would have been cool if the Titans could have gotten him up there this season.

    For him and Utoikamanu, given they have signed elsewhere for next year, I'm not sure they'll be given much game time just for the experience.

    if Storm/Eels are contending for the premiership and they think those players deserve a spot I'm sure they'll play them, but I don't think they'd give them any bench time just to build up first grade experience if they have other players who could do the job.

    Nice work Wolfie! I think Nofoaluma is a great pick that will really stand out. You have got Garner in as well which is a good shout as well. The other Nofoaluma like pick who could be a good POD is Ryan Hall on the wing for the Roosters. He just consistently eats up those metres and had few attacking stats last year, which is unlikely to be a situation that continues.

    Thanks mate. Ryan Hall is a great shout too actually mate. He scored pretty well from memory without any tries so yeah solid pick.

    Hoping for big things from Garner playing consistent big minutes on that left side running off Brooks short balls. Could be a smokey for one of the Tigers top try scorers this year I reckon. Nofa too I had in till a few hours back I saw on the WT forum that lots of fans said his defence was a little suspect at the 9's?...albeit I think he is often the fall guy as the up and in defence shuts lots of plays down, but when it doesn't shut it down, he has to turn and chase and is almost always too late. Also would not help that since Tim $imona and Ayshford left we haven't really had many great centres to consistently play inside him. Looks like a solid team though.

    Thanks Shooter. Good to see some other interest in Nofo. I didn't catch much of the Tigers games in the 9's, but what I saw of him, he looks strong and looking for TB's and offloads. He definitely does seem like the scapegoat when things aren't going good. I do like the team, even though it's a gun short.

    He’s in 17% of teams, so is fantasy relevant as a bad but popular pick for many

    Tom Starling is in 15% of teams, Billy Burns is in 16% and Joe Lovodua is in 10%

    The autofill algorithm is using the same small pool of cheap players to generate teams. I would not read anything into the ownership percentage

    Friend
    Horse Musgrove
    Tolo (c) Murray (vc) Garner
    Cleary Walters
    HSS Lomax
    To'o Pap Drinky

    Koro, Levi, Lucky Lucy, Magoulias
    Luai, S. Crichton, Seyfarth, Big Stef

    Relies on Walters getting the HK rnd1 and HSS+others getting named in optimal positions

    I almost put Walters in my draft too.  Surely he plays and would be a great pick.  I'll put him in over Mann to get more funds fro sure if he starts.  Murray is an interesting choice mate, but should be rock solid and score 50-60 points a week.  Also To'o is an interesting pick, POD central.  Not sure on Mago being in the 17 though.  I like the look of that especially for a Haasless team.  I'm warming towards going Haasless to swap for Tolo truthfully.

    People definitely aren't searching up Tino's name to put them in their team because it takes a special effort to spell his name correctly. Would be mostly autofill teams

    Actually, if McInnes's injury is serious, does that mean we might get to live Lovodua loca?

    Would he be 3rd in line for hooking duties after Luke? I actually know nothing about him.

    castlecrag sweethearts wrote:True to form another team. Becoming a bit more cookie-cutter now. Not so many outlandish picks I have certainly benefited from the discussion on here and the gentle reasoned feedback that is offered. Still like to stick to some of my convictions as well though.

    Smith
    Tatola Carrigan
    Garner Williams Su'A
    Wakeham Drinkwater
    Burns Bird
    Papenhuyzen Hughes D. Watene Zelezniak

    Friend Aubusson Koroisau Molo/Mikaele

    Magoulias Musgrove Luai S.Crichton  

    I suppose the outliers are

    Tatola, Hughes, Wakeham, Watene-Zelezniak & S. Crichton

    I have got my eye on options like

    Hall, Crossland, Ashley Taylor, Leleisiuao, Gebbie, Utoikamanu, Koloamatangi, Campbell-Gillard, Lodge, Levi



    If Wakeman gets the gig, I like him but isn't Coggar going to be first pick? That's a interesting team mate. I don't mind DWZ at all truthfully. Bird at FB would be quality but not sure I'd pick him if he plays centre, especially next to FIfita. I like your trust in Smith, should do more and get more responsibility again you would think. Only pick Carrigan if he starts.

    The $50 on Souths not making the top 4 is already set with some sucker, at evens.

    You still have the wonderful opportunity to take up the 3-1 offer of Souths not making the 8. I think you should take it up. The odds are fabulous.

    Appreciate the reply. I have caught up on the threads now though and it did look like he took you up on both bets, see below.

    I'll take both.

    I didn't decline the offer on the 8? I'm happy to take your money on either, it's free money either way.

    I'll leave it to you two. It was a bit cheeky of me to get involved anyway. That said, Im a man of my word so I will take the bet if Lukeaye pulls out and you want to go H2H with me.

    I was absolutely rock solid on Haas but even now I'm getting cold feet. I know it's just the 9's but he was damn uninspiring compared to the likes of Tolo.

    The last 10 pages of this thread are "optional* reading, as a lot isn't fantasy relevant.

    I would love Grant/Walters to be an option because having an actual 2nd FRF in my team means I have to start Luai and I'm just not convinced he's a viable option in 17. Plays Roosters, Storm and Raiders in first 5, non-dominant HLF and then could face competition from May once suspension ends & Burton

    My big conundrum is J Williams + Lomax + 246k FRF (Luai in EMG) VS Merrin/MoFo + Best + 228k (Luai in 17)  Bang

    If I take Haas out of my side it means I have to get another fucking hooker. I've got too many already. Haas will stay.
