Can you please join League9 and the overall league - you should have the codes already

Sorry mate will do tonight. Haven't had much fantasy time at the moment and the ceo sits behind me at work (on top of which I'm a contractor now so...)

Very good points. And a minimum of 6 weeks at the back too.

I guess there's a slight chance if somehow Aekins kills it, he could even take the spot off Edwards.

All good mate

Anyone else looking at man juice, if he has a injury free season could go good as penrith should have a better year

Grant & Rudolph (& maybe Musgrove)  are bench players IRL therefore should not be bench players in your team...only EMG at best.

How much cash you got left after this draft? It feels like you haven't spent it all...

I think BBrailey only averages 30-35 at start of season with Tracey taking 30 minutes off him at hooker. For $400k I would rather just play someone like Musgrove and hope for his 30.

It has allowed me to pick the best prop, the best 2nd rower, and probably the 2 best halves (both are dominant playmakers that also GK).
I then have Api, Carrigan, Fifita, Tapine or Leilua, Jack Williams, Aubusson, Staggs and Papenhuyzen who could all prove to be keepers if their roles don't change.

I have gone off Lomax, Brailey, Drinkwater, Mann, Aekins etc because I think some base price players will score roughly the same and make more money. Not sure I want to piss around with too many midrangers when it allows me to fit more guns in and save trades.

I have never really done the full cows and guns strategy.  I always dick around with so many midrangers and get burned.  Maybe this year I can finally just go through with the cow/gun strategy.

who averages more? Su'A or Brailey?

Damn White Lightning, remind me never to cross you.

Pretty close to the truth though...

Curtis gets off Scott free to play Rd 1

Hoy had a bit of a run at five-eighth on the weekend. Coach said if he had a crystal ball he would have trained Hoy in the halves ages ago.
I'd say Mann will still be 6 to start the year, but Hoy may get a run later on

You can't simply slot a kid in with a week before the season starts; Mann has obviously been running at 5/8 - attacking structures, defensive structures etc. if not Mann, then Lino has been running there. Tex (who has one of the coolest names in the NRL, up there with Jazz in my books), will need at least a month to really gel with the playing group before he's starting. One to watch though, the kid has speed to burn.

Small sample, Id back him with consistent run to score well in CTR

And now Welshy is tempting me with some sweet Cotric poison, I swear you are just messing with me head now.
The Centres are gonna be the death of my Bludgers this year...

Was this a reference to Matterson?

@boozecluez absolutely nailing the Morris situation and how Sydney footy/media works at large.

I think I’m still going to risk the black widow anyway.

Ramien. But also applies to Matterson. But remember, it was Mitchell that the media went after.

Cleared to play (to save everyone a click)

EDIT: just saw someone else already said that, sorry!

Haha pretty much
As for Aubbo he is probably fine regardless.
Crichton was the man moved to Centre so is obviously regarded lower on the 2RF 'pecking order'

Bateman previously had the same surgery performed on his right shoulder in 2017, which resulted in a 14 week return to play. He is aiming to return at 11 weeks post surgery  Round 7/8 this time, but is still hopeful of shaving 1-2 weeks off that expectation

Yeah at this stage I’m taking the punt that the roles are same as last year where Aubbs played 80 min edge for 10 games in a row.
