Paulo will play Origin.

Yes, true. Forgot that, had him down as a Kiwi/Samoan.

Thinking of grabbing Reimis Smith instead of Simmonsson in my EMG.

Yeah I'm not buying it. He's not a workhorse in defense so I'll happily pass him by.

Still not happy with Turpin in my team, so toying with the idea of Tupouinua giving me edge depth(and also middle via Crichton). Also gives me enough cash to grab Cook

Big KM halves might start slow with the refs trying to enforce the 6 agains early on before reverting to normal after a few rounds. Not sure it will effect scores too much

Turpin.

Maybe Lam but he's cheaper so has more leeway.

Tedesco, of course.

Turpin is aids for team balance but I'm way too scared to not start with him.

I think Lam will start Papy esque then explode with some decent scores. Teddy for 2 round average of 41 then 74 average after R4

On the plus side, their bench middles last season played off the interchange an average of:
Kaufusi 24 minutes
Pap 45 minutes (in a heavily depleted Warriors pack that changed every week)

Hipgrave is primarily an edge and Smith is there to cover hooker and backline.

Someone is getting huge minutes, and the coach says it is Paulo.

I can't help but think Turpin is another Levi and have thus dropped him out and running Brailey at starting 9. Really balances my team so much better, just gotta hope he doesnt blitz it

Last two spots:

Thumbs up: Averillo (at centre) and Niu 18-21

or

Thumbs Down: Roberts (at centre) and $235k to buy someone.

Saw the Panthers bench and saw they had May, Leniu, Fat Matt Eisenhuth and Martin....

How many minutes does Leniu get and is he worth carrying on the EMG... I think my 1-17 is pretty set except I am open to some changes in my MID section. Current Team

Turpin
Tino Lodge NAS
Crichton Riki
Cleary Lam
Bird Averillo
Teddy Pappy Laurie

Brailey Liddle Host Watson
Hoy Moylan Niu Leniu

109K for any fuck ups..

NAS, Host and Tino are on the chopping block.

NAS - Storm bench has Chris Lewis who won't play many minutes, Tui and Tommy who will swap with Welch and JBrom and then Hynes who will probably take a few minutes off NAS + if any injuries to the back line Hynes slots in and NAS is set for a big game.

Host - Koloa is right on his back. His scores aren't very tempting but 354K for an 80 minute edge back rower now playing for a team with more attack??

Tino - Can he keep those scores up for 574K?

Any suggestions guys...

A few names of some guys just outside the 21;

Welch, R.Smith, Barnett, Waddell, Gosi, simonsson, Fui

This was my earliest draft this season

Grant
Tino, Taumalolo, McInnes(c)
CHN, BMM
Brooks, Milford
Averillo, Bird
Ttrbo, Holmes, Oates

JBrailey, Watson, Hodgson, Lodge
Riki, Niu, Lam, Liddle

Good luck with $235k, you will be getting Deitz or someone not playing this weekend.

Random q but it’s for a draft, do you guys think opacic or herbert is in for the better year

He's more of a middle forward really, with flexibility to play edge. TBH Titans didn't really have anyone else to play there.
