    I wouldnt change you WFB situtaion if the above two are the options. See beeter value in who you have.

    Every team is gonna have holes. All well and good someone saying you need a better C and better WFB, but to do that you'll have to short change yourself somewhere else.

    Exactly.

    You need to take a couple of risks. There are obviously downsides to risks.

    I don't like seeing people get talked out of decisions they made because someone else says "your centres are weak". Every team has perceived weakness.

    You could say that about every team though in one position or another. Its all a puzzle, you plug a hole somewhere and another hole by virtue of the salary cap will appear somewhere else. No one is going to have a team without running a few questionable cheapies somewhere this year!

    Well that was a catch up. As a bulldogs supporter and a fantasy player I hope to not see CHN again this year. So creepy.

    Anyway I’ve thrown together a non Haas team and was hoping you guys could comment Smile

    I noticed a couple posts from people sayng (post TLT) they had a couple 100 k spare after drafting their team. And some indicating some decent players in their EMGs, this seems to be a product of too may? value mid ranges on off this year.

    I know its probably preferable to have as little money sitting in your EMGs as possible, BUT, has anyone considered picking a team full of the best value you can find, even if that means having someone like Sua on the bench?

    I think I'll run my WAGS team like that this year and see how it pans out. One would imagine a strategy like this would see you fall behind early, but in theory (if you get it right) you might be able to generate enough cash to ht the home stretch like Winx in the Sunshine Coast Guineas!!

    I dunno. Its a tough one really because the headlines are extremely damaging for the club, but its not illegal. Its obviously against the code of conduct re workplace etc etc.

    The breaches, as per the Dogs release, "relate to players bringing young females of a consensual age back to the team hotel".

    Supposedly only one of the players first met the girl at the school. The other just met in town.

    Really difficult situation for the Dogs though.

    Small breach from the dogs perspective, massive from the NRL. It's like banging the work experience girl.

    Ive experimented with a team that has Stimson and Su'a at 18-19. Leaving me with only Musgrove and Rudolf as my base players
    It still means ive had to go pretty low at FRF/CTR/HLF to fit them in but hey ill make some crazy cash if all goes well

    Thoughts on

    Taumalolo / Fusitu'a (Up)
    vs
    Leilua / Bird (Down)

    Rationale for Fus is that with the new rule on taking out players in the air and his tackle break ability, I think he could potentially be a powerful POD. He's a great flyer and we Warriors have fuck all aside from Bombs.

    Could also trade down Taumalolo and keep Fus in order to strengthen my bench which could be pretty rough depending on how coaches use their minutes.

    For context, current team is:

    Friend
    Haas / Carrigan
    Knight / Taumalolo / Williams
    Wakeham / Moses
    Scott / Fusitu'a
    Turbo / Paps / Aekins

    Koroisau
    Walters
    Stimson
    Rudolf

    Taunoa-Brown
    Kennedy
    Wiliame
    Musgrove

    Would you:

    A) Turn Mann into Stimson

    B) Turn Croft into JMK

    C) Keep the 42k I have in the bank and make no change?

    Does anybody have any stats for Wakeham apart from his 3 NRL games and what is his JS like with Cogger still playing in reserve grade?

    Is there any way of doing both A & B?

    If not, I prefer option A

    You can see his FIJI stats on the nrl.com site. Think he scored quite well but had a lot of goals added in.

    Job security will depend on his own form and also the Dogs form. He could be a scapegoat if they start poorly. Pay said yesterday it was really close and they just decided to go with Wakeham because "he offers a bit more"
