Fortitude wrote:Trying to find a mix of popular players in difficult positions, with having a stronger option where others are going cheaper. Really not easy. The below is okay, the bench is weak though, can afford Hess over Su’a, but I can’t ride the hype.

The obvious way of strengthening the bench is dropping Williams, and bringing in CHN or someone around that Price.

I’m a fan of having a guy pick that everyone else thinks is risky, for me this year I think I’ll go Williams, George.

Friend
Cardigan, haas
Fifita, tapine, Williams
Moses, Williams
Ramien, Crichton
Pappy, Lomax, drinky

Koro, su’a, Stimson, luai

4xcheap

Have 70k.

Hard to fit in with pappy, and value in the mid tier forwards

Number in brackets was rank of player in popularity.

Cook (20)
Vaughan (88) Tolman (70)
Arrow (46) Murray (13) Lane (100)
Morgan (14) Keighran (2)
Capewell (31) Holland (111)
Burns (79) Ravalawa (5) Sivo (22)

McCullough (45) Friend (54) Mahoney (49) Garner (27)

Nikora (3)  Brown (1) Garrick (12) Simonsson (51)


His biggest POD was Kerrod Holland, who wasn't a POD on this site (same goes for Burns too). Most of his players were just regular picks. Lane and Vaughan were the closest to POD status, but it was pretty much a cookie cutter forum team.

I don't see him increasing his average whereas Pappy is undervalued based on all the dud minute games

Interesting one to look at in hindsight, and to give our projections some perspective.

Was 600k, I think? (my site is wrong, it has their starting price this year as their starting price in 2019).

Averaged 50 from 65 mins in 2018 when starting at 2nd row, from 14 games, so solid sample size. Looked like someone who should repeat that in 2019, had his spot locked down for 80 mins, Eels on the up, all signs pointed to a good year.

Ended up averaging 42 from 77 mins in 2019. Cemented himself as a mid ranger.

Bit different this year as we are mostly looking at guys between 400k to 500k (so more room for cash generation without needing to put up keeper scores), but it will be interesting to look back and see who doesn't work out like we all expect. There are always a couple.

I agree with pappy, scored well when he played 50+ mins.

Saying Papenhuyzen scored well is just a bit of an understatement

Yes its a predicted line up. Whoever did this seems to be more clued in than the fox sports one.

Edit: Checked last years predicted line up for Raiders & NRL.com had got CNK, John Bateman, Simonsson all wrong so yeah can ignore this one

Actually I didn't go with that in the end haha, Was kinda in between going all in or not with more gun hookers and less overall cover prior to lockout (which mine was still cookie cutter when I sent to you).
Made a gut call and the rest is history I guess.

Team looked like this in the first page:

Cook
Tolman Napa
Arrow Murray Garner
Morgan Keighran
Capewell Nikora
Burns Sivo Ravalawa

Smith Friend McCullough Mahoney

Kahu Brown Host Garrick

______________________
The changes I sent to you but off memory I decided to play Nikora in the Ctr's full time with less cover (Instead of a mid ranger like Holland) and free up some cash
Gamble on Napa over Vaughan to make $$$ and free up some cash
And turn a mid ranger in lane into another hooker in Smith

Milchcow wrote:

Basically, from the team i posted, you took out all the PODs, and replaced them with more conventional players.

Very cookie cutter in the end. Only difference was having all the hooker, instead of picking a couple.
