That's what I meant, a Wallace-athon should be bringing more than a worst case 50!  I'm thinking closer to 65 bare minimum.

Correct, definite mis-calc from the Welshman!!

Macca priced pretty high. Will he play 80 each week to get that 54 average to near 60 or will they give those old legs a rest now and then. I see heaps better value in Turpin at his price if he is playing 80 or close to it. If no bench hooker for the Broncos round 1 i be all over Turpin that for sure on Fantasy. Averages 45 priced at 40 in 59 min from last year so is still some value there even with a bench hooker. Playing 80 he'd get 60 average going by last year. Guess TLT will decide.

I may leave Cook out and start with cheaper hookers. Turpin, Brailey, Watson, Liddle etc. Boost the team elsewhere so can start with Cleary, Crichton, Tedesco, Papy etc. and get Cook later on.

Rein a chance for 80 as well do we think? As a non Peachey owner last year I didn't pay much attention but did I read somewhere that he spelled Rein? I thought it was Paix.

Hi, I've just come home from work and I am a little disappointed. I was hoping to be placed in League Double 1, but instead, I have been placed in Rabbits old spot in L10. There is still bunny shit still stinking up the place everywhere. I hope he did not get his bond back yet. If any mods want to swap us around for shits and giggles I will gladly consider it.

Tino and Fifita are growing on me. Feel Titans surely in for much improved year going by the way they ended last year and with those signings. Might get some up and down scores but geez there is gonna be some monster scores in there some weeks from them 2 that i don't feel like missing out on. I'd like Fogerty as well if he is goal kicking but can't fit them all in.

I like Macca, not a bad pick imo, if I had to pick a supercow/midranger to elevate to gun this year Macca would be top of the list. I've decided to go midrange in my MIDs I think though, mostly because the position sucks whereas at hooker you've got a clearer choice of gun (Cook) and cow (all the other guys).

Do you have D. Fifita?

Corey Allan for my 3rd WFB ? Or pod lunacy ?

At this stage yes. Nothing set in stone. Origin counts against him but he's set for big things this year me thinks.

My eyes hurt looking at your bench.

Too much $ in the WFB for me mate, can't really see the upside

Just go cheap and wait on JAC mid season slump and grab $200k off him when he goes bananas again

Nah nothing set or serious down there, all scribblings and sticky notes at the moment....

I'm not sure but yeah Peachey very versatile. Hopefully he does so takes less minutes from Tino so Tino can up his 45 minutes from last year. Hope Paix stays away for Turpins sake.

Thankyou for being so diplomatic with your answer, I was thinking of Erin Clark Being one of the mugs who bought Paix in you'd think I'd at least get his team right...

Can anyone see Holmes starting at fullback? If he does I think I’d punt on him....

Rabbits21 wrote:Can anyone see Holmes starting at fullback? If he does I think I’d punt on him....

All signs been pointing to no, no value on the wing at current price

Rabbits21 wrote:Can anyone see Holmes starting at fullback? If he does I think I’d punt on him....

Yeah was interested if was starting fullback. They look set to start him on the wing. So now is a wait and see if happens as the season goes on. Stinkwater is a crap useless defender in the halves but good attacking player so can see why they put him to fullback. Made me vomit watching him defend last year. He sure can make some silly errors as well. Was all the rage in reserve grade and was gonna be fullback at the Storm before getting injured. Lucky for Papy as got to see what he could do. Unlucky for Cowboys thinking they were getting something great signing him.

I like Crichton to go with Tino, Watson as Mid players but after that i'm worried about Mid cheapies. Lodge i am worried about come round 4 once Haas is back and could see him go to the bench in no time. Koala can be used as a Mid but i'm worried about because was playing in Sua spot. Host could be the man to get the other spot on the other side of Sua when he back and Koala goes back to his Mid role smaller minutes from last year. Murray or Arrow could play some games on that edge as well making them both traps. Rabbitohs edge cheapies worry me wondering who gets the spot on the other side of Sua. Ah Mau if gets minutes would be good as a mid backup but got stuff all in the trial so don't know if will get minutes coming back from injury to be worth while in that decent pack. BMM i worried about minutes to be worthwhile as well. Lot of doubts in there for a backup cheapie Mid to have. Thinking of having Tigers Uto as emergency player just to make some cash but don't want to rely on playing him if a Mid goes down injured.

Rhinoceroo has noted, Hetherington is cheaper than Ah Mau and decent scoring potential

What happens when Thompson comes back round 5 but. Even if Hetherington gets 50 minutes till then his ppm as a prop is poor. I had him last year and watched him. Try's hard but doesn't equate to good points.
