Rate My Team

Hope Fifita is quiet so he stays in my team and others dont pick him up.

mulvy wrote:Well for me the extra cash downgrading to Barba throws my team dynamic out of balance. So I've completely re-jigged it:

Surgess(vc) Merrin Cartwright Rochow(R) Pauli(R) Benry
DCE Hastings Taylor JNik
Copley Auv'a MCK NPR
Gordon Slater Barba Gutherson NPR

Thoughts?

Not much to say mate, VERY well balanced.

after a night of fiddling while watching the games, I think I've found a solid starting point for TLT, but any extra suggestions wouldn't go astray:

Lichaa, Luke
Woods, Graham, Packer, Griffin
Mannering, Surgess, Ah Mau, Sue, Henry, Frei
DCE, Hastings, Taylor, Martin,
Ferguson, Hurrell, Auva'a, Chee Kam
Gordon, Mann, Barba, Feeney, Gutherson

First option I've had with smith.

Smith, Parcell
Surgess, Vaughan, Packer, CWN
Graham, Taupau, Merrin, Cartwright, Rochow, Frei
DCE, Roberts, Hastings, Taylor
Gutherson, Avua'a, Scott, MCK
Gordon, Mansour, Barba, Feeney, Opacic

Am I the only one who thought packer looked completely stuffed/out of shape/short of breath?

Thanks si. I must say I am very happy with it. It's the first draft I've done where I honestly feel every player has a reasonable chance of going up in value.

Considering he had 12 months to do nothing but lift weights and drop soap, yeah. Time will tell mate. Was happy enough with him personally. I haven't watched the last 20 minutes yet.

HOK: C. Smith (N. Peats)
FRF: A. Fifita, J. Graham (B. Lawrence, NPR)
2RF: L. ah Mau, S. Taukeiaho, R. Rochow (NPR, NPR, NPR)
HLF: D. Cherry-Evans, J. Maloney (J. Hastings, A. Taylor)
CTR: B. Ferguson, K. Hurrell (NPR, NPR)
WFB: J. Mansour, M. Gordon, B. Barba (NPR, NPR)

Cash Remaining: $16 000

So pretty happy with the squad, my one complaint is the lack of overall depth. However not entirely worried about that. I could swap Hurrell out for Copley and bring in a 2RF for under $200k, but there wasn't anyone who stood out there.

Anyone care to rate my team?

- Not sold on Paasi getting enough minutes in the FRF to warrant being picked. With Douglas, Shillington, James and Pettybourne all in the FRF. J. Trbojevic, B. Lawrence, Paea are all other options you could look at.
- Asiata faces the same problem, there just aren't enough minutes in the Cowboys pack to select him. He has Taumalolo, Lowe and Cooper all ahead of him.
- Milford was flavour of the month awhile back, while he has potential to go massive I doubt he will be consistent enough at doing it to be worth a look. Especially with J. Reynolds, J. Mullen, K. Foran, and T. Roberts all solid options.

Interesting that I picked Passi/Asiata as I feel they can pick up minutes this season. Think they're both going to go well. Especially Asiata.

Really I though Hess was also above him, aww well each to their own I guess. If it works out for you then it is good.

Indeed, it's the differing opinions that make the pre-season fun.

I dont mind the Passi pick i think he is worth the punt. Im not sold on Asiata and Milford may take a few rounds to get into the swing of things like last year. Id probably downgrade milford to one of the cheapies and upgrade Asiata to another gun forward.

Hey guys rate my team, I am bored having to make it look like I am enjoying my wife's valentine movie choice ... notting hill.... Burn my eyes out with acid.

Some of the cheap 134 k players are reliant on team lists obviously.

Mate I think that backrow is pretty horrendous. Way too light on big hitting. I'm annoyed that I can't fit in Merrin or gal to go with Parker and Burgess. You've opted for none of them. Definitely want minimum 2 guns in backrow imo

Merrin Cooper Cartwright (Henry Frei Fitzgibbon)
DCE Hastings JNikorima (Taylor)
Hurrel Auva'a (Chee-Kam Littlejohn)
Inglis Mann Barba (Feeney Gutherson)

- Farah/Taylor vs Parcell/AReynolds is something that I will mull over throughout the next few weeks.
- Woods vs Graham... I got Woods in here but I'm 50-50 atm.
- Light 2RF is a worry, as is light HLF
- Mann is someone I am not sure on, but I couldn't afford the 300k players. Mann/Fifita vs Mansour/Burgess is possible.

Thought this was just about the best team I had stumbled upon so thought I would rate him..z
