I'll likely start with Aekins.

If Burton takes Luai's spot in the NRL, he'll probably make my team. Will look at having both Walters and Luai/Burton in my 21 and play one of them each week

I'm considering Horse. Bit concerned about Raiders making early returns from injury in the past, and there are other value forward options. He'll stay in the frame though

Not really interested in Grant at Melbourne, or Manly forwards. Too short term for my liking

Parra’s draw looks like it could be filled with attacking stats for the first month. Could see their wingers having a field day potentially. + his historical points versing the first month opponents is well above his average/price.

Might be good news for my old mate Carty

Michael Jennings and Waqa Blake would be the centres wouldn't they?

Holy Moly I like your avatar bro. That exactly sums up my state of mind.

Thanks White Lightning. I thought it might have been a bit over the top, but it makes me laugh when I see it.  All this pre-TLT decision making is a bit like that, but that is half of the fun and good to have people to talk about it with. I keep changing my team every day.

Ain't that the truth & it's going to become even more stressful when we're 1 hour out from lock out & we still have no idea on our team haha. That's when the self-loathing sets in.

Stage 1 - 6 months out from lock out where we're so pumped & happy that nrl fantasy is around the corner
Stage 2 - we start composing our teams & we are still pumped & happy but confusion/anguish sets in when we realise we can't afford half the players we want
Stage 3 - omfg lock out is tomorrow, I have created 100 teams & I'm more confused as ever so we pray to the fantasy gods for assistance/guidance
Stage 4 - lock out is over & this is my crap team & it scores no where as well as I was hoping & after the first week my rank is rubbish.....that's where the self-loathing sets in & the trade rage begins.

trade rage temptation:
