I think our perception of Hoy is heavily influenced by his debut, where from memory he actually played in the halves, and had 277 km.

I'm still 50/50 on Hoy.

I've definitely gone different in a few areas to the rest of the forum, but quite happy with this version of the Lam Shanks (regretfully not my team name):

BBrailey
SST Tino Lodge
(C)richton Riki
Fogarty Brooks
Averillo Mom
Teddy Pappy Laurie

Watson JBrailey Liddle CHT
Host Croker Niu Uto

Also, Is this Stefano gonna hold a place in the 17 I wonder. Not many options in the 18-21 to replace him. Might be decent until Blore returns at least.

I’m between Hoy and 100k and Milf and 0k.

Hope things are well mate

Thanks mate, you too. Hope that injury has fully healed for you and no lasting effects.

Dont see anything changing that. Highly rated guy with a big motor. Must pick for me.

What are Utoikamanu’s prospects like this year? Just a cheap bench forward to could score 20-30 each week?

Oh shoot didn’t put Stefano and Utoikamanu together haha

He's my last pick. Interested in Deitz but don't understand how he stays in team when JMK back

A concern with Tigers playing late however.

Good stuff.

Don't u think this year the team u put together feels ugly and shite, for all of us I mean.

TLT for me meant taking out Tino and Stefano, bringing in about 20 combinations of two players under 900k, and ending up with Tino and Stefano back in my team.

Other combos I quite liked for 30 minutes each:

GWilliams & Stefano
Turpin & Fuimaono
Sitili & Lodge

... and the Mattnz special...

SST & Deitz +$1k

Big wraps on him. Didnt get opportunities at Eels last year as he had signed for Tigers. Should have a high PPM, if he could get 30 minutes should outscore that in fantasy.

Last spot up for debate. Have Alvaro +49k do I get Hoy or Fui instead? Fui DPP is nice

Stefano is a wait and see for me. If he plays big minutes and looks like a gun you can grab him next week for 30k above base. If you start with him and he tanks you might have a red dot most of the season

Relies on him getting a top 30 upgrade, but if he got it could see him in the 14 each week. The good thing about Barrett is he isn't afraid to play a bench hooker for big minutes. Fainu averaged 44 minutes off the bench, when stealing minutes off a much better hooker than JMK in Koro. Its a high risk play, but could come out of nowhere and be scoring well.

Has a slight Musgrove feel about him but I need a 246K player.

Not sure there is any more risk than the alternatives. More job security than Fifita who drops out for Verrills when fit again. Kerr could be in the middle rotation, replacing Famausili or Alvaro next week. Not seeing anyone arriving in a hurry that displaces Stefano.

This is where I've landed so far. Really don't like the Turpin pick after not being in a single preseason draft, but he seems the best value based off what we know now. I can already tell I'll be trading him out by round 5. Considering Brooks, Capewell, Tupouinua, CHT, Townsend, Ofa as alternatives

Brailey
Welch, Lodge, Watson
Crichton, Riki
Cleary, Moses
Bird, Roberts
Teddy, Moylan, Reimis

Turpin, Munster, Lam, Liddle

Gosiewski, Laurie, Niu, Simonsson

Haven't had Tino, Hoy, Averillo in my drafts at any point
