There's an extra problem that Difita and Bird are still in Broncos shirts on the app. Makes things look worse than they are.

Bird had a great CTR average last plying for the donkeys, keep him in it!!

$201k left to work with, still need to figure out if i want to find room for Moylan/Croker, I'm not completely sold on Tino, but I'm also not seeing anyone else that jumps out at me to fill that role.

Im not convinced on Tino either, I am trying to shoehorn BSmith in there but that doesn't allow me to get all of the other traps I want to pick up

Yep, was no harm having Haas and Carrigan in your team last season.

Still running Fatrell?

Nah, I was either going to go with him or Milf as my 'Nostalgia trap' but have ended up with neither atm. Downgraded Cook on the Turpin 80 news and upgraded Latrell to Pap.

Feel comfortable with no Cook so even if I get cold feet on Turpin, Pap is staying.

Milf on the other hand

At CTR he’d be under serious consideration and I’d hate myself because absolutely zero stats back him in. Plus I want Turbo in a few weeks so if Latrell was travelling well it could be sideways. Otherwise it’s a wasted trade and an uppercut for starting with him

Brought it up other day but not mentioned further, but Bird has never played in garbage team. Wonder how it affects his scores playing in what looks to be nailed on wooden spoon/17th placed team

As long as he continues his slapsies sideways runs I'll be happy!!

Much easier backing in a money making Hooker over a gun because at the very least the scores are good and consistent mate

I’ve got Pap in for some slight regression, his floor last year I don’t think is attainable but his GK should offset and he’s fantastic to watch.

Milf I really hope gets back to being interesting to watch, not sure I can go there again

Playing lock being mooted probably offsets the worry for me mate, plus he isn’t your try scoring point getter, he’s your run across the field +3 crab person

If they are playing badly they shake the team up and he ends up in a better position with dual.

Not fantasy relevant but if you want a giggle then have a watch of this video. It's the bloat fc presented by Denan Kemp (bloke in a bar) and has the best looking players in the league. Great laugh

Brailey
Crichton, Welch, Lodge
Fifita, Riki
Cleary, Fogarty
Averillo, Bird
Papy, Teddy, Hoy

Watson, Lam, Host, Liddle

Niu, Laurie, Uto, Simonsson

$11k ITB

2 Pinapples out of a Potato.

For real though looks pretty tight. Simonsson will be a slow burn so dont feel tbe need to rush trade him after 1 week and I have no idea about Uto. Otherwise everyone else has been talked about en mass and looks solid.

17th placed, that’s bad

I'll miss my work league this year. It was usually fill of random players with a wide variety of teams. Reading around here and other places, it looks as if most teams will have 2-3 unique players.

Lol Benji just said on 360 that Fatrell is a top 3 player in the nrl.... Teddy, Cleary and Fatrell

Does Twal firm any re-interest with that Tigers bench?
