50 +/-

Yeah I was thinking he might almost make 50. Hmmm.

With my current set up, I could have Burns and Lomax centre, Pappy at WFB, Brailey bench.

OR

I could have Burns and Maubs centre, Lomax down to wfb, Levi bench, pappy and brailey out.

Essentially Pappy and Brailey vs Maubs and Levi. Thoughts? and thanks.

Yes.

He's my left-field pick for a player to have a big year.

As much as I love Tolman for his past fantasy exploits, I don't think he offers much impact.

On the whole Haas or no Haas thing. The aim of the game is not to get as many big price players in your squad as you can. The aim is to fill your team with what you believe to have the greatest scoring potential; along with the greatest money making ability.

This comes in the form of guns who are you point makers, mid rangers who you believe are under-priced and can score at gun level, mid rangers who are under-priced and can score around gun level who will then become guns themselves, and cash cows who will make you cash to turn into mid rangers who will then turn into guns and the cycle repeats. For all of this to fall into place you need a large amount of luck mixed with a small amount knowledge. To be honest no one knows if Haas will score 80 or 40 come round 1, no one knows if Lolo will match that or if he will fall short. If you are doing everything you can to get Haas and Lolo in your squad while compromising the integrity of your team and the money making potential elsewhere then you are already on the back foot, but then again your compromise may be downgrading burns for a base price cow and then Burns does his hammy R1 and your cow scores a double and nets 53 points and you ride that cash train. Again this all falls into the realm of luck. Personally I think Haas is like Cook in years gone by, he is the top scorer and you are absolutely shitting bricks not having him. I will be starting with Haas and he probably won’t leave my team all year. He may only have a 12 month package to go off but damn it was a good 12 months. 1 year older and 1 year the wiser/better/smarter. Lolo to me comes across as a DFifita type. I pick them both as something between 45-60 points a week, both with the ability to hit around 100 and Fifita is cheaper. In myself, I know I am more content with starting without Lolo than I am Haas, especially with the lack of value/picks in FRF this year.

TL;DR not sure if any of this makes sense and no clue where I am going with it but just putting my thoughts onto paper.

Like I said, " Its a stretch," but just say they move Tolman or Napa to lock or to the bench to make way for him. H e was around a PPM guy off the bench last season and with more minutes could gain some cash.

There's debate about which 3 start in the 3 back row positions between CHN Jackson Stimson and Elliott and I've even seen some Bulldogs fans saying Britt so doubt Tolman and Napa are consideration for starting lock

Surely Glenn goes into 2RF and TPJ goes to prop come season start?

So weird that Bird gets first crack at FB. With Isaako on bench who kicks?? Staggs?

Also is FAC fully out of favour now? Is turpin first choice 9? Will FAC even crack the 17?

I don't know why Coates is ahead of the other guys. His defense looks atrocious (and this is largely due to inexperience). I'd much rather Arthurs or Farnworth who seem more accomplished at the moment.

Turpin has been first choice 9 since the start of pre-season

The earlier Murray talk got me thinking - is Murray worth including in the Haas/Lolo equation?

Eg. would:

Haas, Taumalolo, Drinkwater, and Koroisau

beat

Taumalolo, Murray, Knight & JWilliams?

Or they go full Henjack and play Glenn at prop.

Maybe for his height based off the new rule. I would have thought Isaako will end up winger anyway, if not FB, he wouldn’t offer much utility value would he
