I'd be all over him if he was playing 80. There were whispers of Clune being named at 14 who would then come on and presumably push hunt to HOK.

Maybe Hetherington?

What will stop him from being a spud fantasy scorer even with big minutes (which he won't likely get like the two +70 min games with Warriors)

Clune will be the 14 round 2 onwards.

An irrational aversion due to past seasons consistent plodding (actually scoring 50 which is decent but not quite decent enough) but mainly because he is not glamorous enough

When Norman is back from round 2, Clune will be in the 14 and Hunt will spend some in-game time at hooker to give McCullough a spell. This will happen as they can't afford him to go down. Probably means he's priced about right and will be a tier below without making any money.

The core of my team has designated roles and are locked in. Brailey, Lodge, Welch, Riki, Crichton, Cleary, Moses, Bird, Roberts, Moylan, Teddy, Munster, Lam, Watson and Manly 2RF have roles we already know. Will probably need to do some rotation around MID3, WFB3, INT4 and the 4 NPR. If I need cash, guys like Welch and Munster are probably first casualties

Lock in my captain, fill up on must have cows/miss then go on a shopping spree

From what I’ve read the only must have cows this year are Watson riki averillo lidded then the rest are a lottery eg laurie lodge Moylan bird lam leniu Alvaro faamasuli and I don’t think those lotteries will be answered today either

I am actually disgusted that Hetherington is getting a mention. Not Relevant, move on. If you want someone more expensive, pick Lodge or Leota. Someone cheaper, pick Leniu or Alvaro and move on.

No better sight in rugby league than a forward in the backfield and backs struggling to catch him.

Especially "Manly 2RF". His role is so secure we don't even have to know his name to know he's got that job for life!

But seriously, will Des pick and stick with whoever gets first crack. I expect Gosiewski to be named there this afternoon. But if he doesn't perform, how long until Davey gets a shot.

Moylan, geez you’re brave.

I do not see any upside in Moses I think he will go back a bit.

Chammas saying Walker to fullback also.
Arrow bench. Host in line for edge. .
Momirovski centre with May bench utility
Opacic first crack at centre.
Raiders waiting on medical report for Croker
Welch to start at lock. Brenko Lee most likely out.

only got crichton, fifita, munster, teddy and pappy. And running alot of mids I see as undervalued since they will be easier to upgrade then cow and cow to gun

Very low disgust threshold you should get that looked at, and given it is TLT before the TLT bit we are contractually obliged to spend hours talking about players who will not be in anyones's team post 4.00 p.m.

I have Koro, Cleary, and Teddy as proven guns.
Tino and Dfifi sub guns.
Then lots of value picks.
Plus 3 or 4 sub 300k players

Anyone putting on D. Walker?

I didn't realize Welch was priced at 40. Hmm. He did have a good run at the tail end of last season and if he plays Lock he should get 50-60mins. This will give him a good boost for the first few rounds.

Cashcows likely to underwhelm... in my humble opinion

Brailey and Riki.

They will make minor cash initially and then just plod there in the zone of irrelevance

Little known secret, if you scroll right to the bottom of the player list, you can actually pick "MANLY 2RF" in your team. This gives you access to whoever plays left edge for manly, every week, without having to use trades.

Who do you have on edge?
