LCroker Moylan Gosiewski Laurie

You won’t be surprised to hear i love the structure!
Suggestions:
ditch hoy as no gk, get Simmonsson
move Laurie into WFB, ditch Moylan for Egan.

More hookers, more fun

Well TLT has come and the forum has gone into overdrive, I've missed 40 pages ... how much has been drivel over the plus/minus of Turps versus JBrailey??

Can anyone save me the hour of my life I won't get back and provide a dot-point overview of the team lists?
I'm thinking:
Warriors - LAM on the bench so no-go
Broncos - no bench hooker named so Turpin almost becomes a must-have

Doesnt going into the season without Fifita scare you?

Petrifies me but I can't find a decent substitute for Averillo at centre if worse comes to worst. If Averillo is starting that is the best case scenario. Not happy running with Opacic I don't see the appeal

Probably, you have been shit for years mate

Yep now write it out another 36 times.

Opacic

Herbert was only ever tempting if he got goalkicking duties, and that is certainly not guarantted

Is anyone taking the plunge with Walker at fullback? Massive unknown, can't see much play going to him

C'mon Welshy, give me some quick pointers about where the teams have gone post-TLT.

Maybe Liu has a spell and Friend plays lock.

Friend has played 80 before with hookers on the bench. He's also been rested during games.
Probably both will happen at different points during the season

The more and more I look at my team I lose confidence.

Where is everyone playing Crichton? MID or EDG

No he's garbage. 8pts from 54 mins in 2016 and 25pts from 80 in 2015. I heard someone say they saw him one of those games and was gassed from kick returns after 15 mins

EDG because I only have 1 EDG in 14-21

Not much has changed mate most people got off with minor changes

Most running cheap hookers have switched to potential 80 minute Turpin
Hoy leaving a few teams as Barnett GK
Laurie Starting and Mbye in at 6 so there’s hope Doohickey slots straight in for Moses and Moses replaces Talau in 14 R2 with Laurie keeping 1 spot
Debate on best bench Mid cover from Stefan/Alvaro/Faasmasuili
Cover for Averillo who already might be a late out

I'm trying to decide Townsend or Lam. Townsend main kicker and GKs for a while appeal but I'm not sure

hey lads and ladies,

been reading all off season but first post for the year. Would love some feedback on my team.

Turpin
Watson Tino Paulo
Matto Barnett
Cleary Munster
Opacic Averillo
Lauri Pap Hoy

R - Liddle Brailey Egan Hetho
NPR - Gos Reimis Riki Moylan..

If Friend has a spell I'd assume Keighran at dummy half. He's the genuine Aubs utility (minus handsomeness), can fill in at centre, halves, 2rf. He's also a proper goalkicker so will almost certainly kick ahead of Ted if he's on and SST isn't.

Can someone here convince me Host is a solid pick? @Rabbits21 @RandomSil

If Teddy kills it you'll have to carve up your team because week WFB after Papy. I owned Hetho last season and he was junk and don't see improvement and Egan has little to no upside imo

Just moved Crichton to mid and swapped NAS for Fifita:

MID/EDG now looks like

Tino Lodge Crichton
Riki Fifita

Only leaves me with 43K though

I don't know where to go with my reserves to be honest. At the moment I have Croker, Averillo, Niu and Simonsson which are 3 outside back and halves cover. After last year with all the centre position bullshit, I feel inclined to carry the outside backs cover however 3 might be too many no?? Feel weird passing on a 288k starting backrower in Gos. Talk to me please fellas
