I wish I could say the same.

I just can’t start with Cook. Last season in a few games where our pack was matched his running  game was limited and that hindered his scoring. Murray playing some time on an edge also won’t be good for Cook.

Knight is gonna be underdone to start the season and I can’t see him getting those bigger minutes in first few rounds. A good chance he won’t play the CS either.

Mann and Luai both in my 17 I just can’t do it!

You’re not worried re Aubusson being moved to centre an hour before kick off? That’s what concerns me.

Part of me wants to stick him at centre and part of me doesn’t.

The underpriced hookers seem to be common to most of the teams I see on here at least. I would personally downgrade Su'A to Stimson, Turbo to Pap and then upgrade Moga to Lomax to have a more balanced team, but I am quite low on Moga. Makes your team much more cookie cutter though

I currently have

Friend
Haas, Carrigan
Fifita, Lolo, Williams
JMK, Drinkwater
Lomax, Watkins
Pap, Brimson, Aekins

Koro, Brailey, Su'A, Stimson
Luai, Musgrove, Walters, Mag

and it comes out with $0 leftover which must be a sign.

Not really fantasy related but as Warriors fan Blair looks fitter than I can recall. How was he in All Stars. Only seen highlights

Yeah sure mate, all good.

I like your team but I think you could downgrade Brimson and try to get Lolo in somehow. I don't think Brimson will average much over 35, and Lolo is a must-have for the season, you save a trade by locking him in.

Thanks for doing this Milch. Finding some serious inaccuracies though, like Haas having 1 TB, had 3 in just 1 play.

Which combo do you guys prefer?

A: Moga + Su'A

B: Watkins + Mikaele/Molo etc. (up to 392k)

C: Capewell + Saab/S Crichton etc. (up to 274k)

None of the above.

I already have Aekins as a cheapie in the WFB position.

I wanna get Lolo in too big am finding it hard currently as I need to find just over 350k from somewhere.

Friend
Haas, Carrigan
Lolo, DFifi, Lucy
Cleary, Luai
Lomax, Moga
Papy, Drinky, Aekins

Koro, Su'A, BBrailey, Stimson

Mags, Keppie, Lele, Kolo

$11k ITB

I don’t like the Moga pick sorry and in some CC games last season he scored horribly.

Luai as starting half may be an issue too.

Apart from that it’s very similar to mine.

a) As its a pre-season game, I doubt the stats guys are reviewing the games in any great detail to ensure accurate stats.

b) If the past few years have taught me anything, its that the users of this site have no idea what constitutes an official tackle bust

Yeah fair enough, hence my above post trying to find other options than Moga. I don't think he's that good but I don't have much cash to work with if I have all of Haas, Lolo and Cleary in my side. Ideally I'd go a gun CTR like Burns, but I don't quite have the cash for that unless I run with 6 guys under 250k (Luai + 1 in the 17 and then 4 EMGs)

b) An opposing player touches the player with the ball, but doesn't complete the tackle.

Not particularly

If there can be 6 reasonable 246k option players available I will be ok.

Curran looked solid last night for the indigenous side.

Anyone see him getting a start for the Warriors?

What are most people thinking is the right number of 246k players or cheaper to run with?

If we talking about a guns and cows approach would running with 6 246k options be ok, eg: Musgrove, Keppie, Magoulias, Luai and hopefully another 2 that show  up like Grant, Kennedy or Curran....

To me the right number is as many as possible that aren't crappy scorers.

Do you have 5 currently? I think most would that are serious players.

Its very TLT dependent, current draft team has 7 of them including Luai ($249k)
