Cheers GM Will have a look at turning some of those bads into more cows. Gotta love them cows hehe

By the way, who are the big cows this year? Ive missed all of the preseason 'gotta have him talk'.

Care to rate mine?

Smith (C) Parcell
Surgess B Lawrence - P Pauli R Packer
Parker Mannering Fensom - Cartwright B Henry MCK
DCE Hastings - Nikorima A Taylor
Hurrell Roberts - Auva'a Crichton
Gordon Slater Barba - Gutherson C Anderson

Looking solid jizzy

I'd keep an eye on the Raiders back row and Fensom. I'm sure Fensom will score well, but there may be better options for the price.
Perhaps moving Surgess to 2RF and picking another big name front rower.

Do you have contingency plans for is Barba and/or Parcell are not named as starters? or will they be in your team regardless.

Yeah, the Raiders and their stacked forward pack is worrying, but I still think Fensom will be the main guy with guranteed minutes. If Barba is going to be put on the bench as a utility I'll drop him and aim for V Holmes or Copely (I think Holmes will go to the next level this year, I don't think Bird should be fullback).

Parcell I don't really have a back up for. I would probably drop a gun 2RF lower and bring in a better Hooker.

Any thoughts on this squad

Smith Parcell
Fifita(c) AhMau Sue (Welch)
Surgess Cartwright Graham Rochow Pauli (Henry)
DCE Rankin Hastings (Taylor)
Kata Auvaa (MCK Gutherson)
Mansour Gordon Slater (Anderson Scott)

If Parcell isn't starting I will most likely down grade Fifita and Graham and bring in a gun.

Ok, this is the first look at the Spuds 2016. Opinions?

Smith (C), Peats
Graham, Woods, Packer, Hala
Surgess, Merrin, Rochow, Henry, B.Gray, Frei
A.Rey, Hastings, Barba, J.Niko
Ferguson, Lawrence, Auva'a, Cheekam
Inglis, Copley, Gutherson, Mann, McInally

First attempt

Smith, Parcell
Woods, Graham, Sue, CNW
Tauk, Merrin, Rochow, Cartwright, Mau, Bhenry
DCE, Jreynolds, ATaylor, Hastings
Auva'a, Copley, Littlejohn, MCK
Barba, Mansour, Fergs, Feeney, Gutherson


Obviously I am short of Guns in 2RF, this is by design. I am looking at players that have good base stats and should get increased minutes this season.

Not sold on my back 3, I might change Barbs to Gordon and Tauk to BLawrence

Depending on TLT, Parcell becomes Granville and Tauk to npr

Smith (Parcell)
Graham, Surgess
Fensom, JDB, SST (Cartwright)
DCE, Hastings (ATaylor)
Gutherson, Auva'a
Radarada, Tedesco, Mansour (Barba)

Rest are NPR

After a few reports from today.

Smith - Parcell (R)
Surgess K Evans - Lawrence (R) Gray
Parker Mannering W Graham - Cartwright (R) Bhana MCK
DCE Hastings - Feeney A Taylor
Hurrell Auva'a - Crichton B Henry
Gordon Mansour Roberts - Barba (R) Gutherson

Relying on Evans getting more minutes after JWH has been sidelined til round 10. Hoping Feeney gets the fullback spot (is DPP) which lets me pick Barba as a DPP hoping he gets a spot for the sharkies.

Thoughts? $50k remaining. I’d appreciate your collective wisdom.

HOK: Smith Lichaa
FRF: Cooper Woods Lawrence Pauli
2RF: Surgess LAM Cartwright Rochow (Benry) (Bhana)
HLF: DCE Hastings (Nikorima) (Taylor)
CTR: Lafai Hurrell (Auva’a) (MCK)
WFB: Mansour Ferguson Barba (Opacic) (Gutherson)

Issues: how many minutes will Cartwright get? Is it worth getting him as a reasonably pricey mid-level, or to get either a gun or a cow? The CTR worry me. Either could go large, but could also be rubbish. I would love to balance one with a reliable 2RF DPP but can’t find one that I am happy with (Lewis Brown?). Haven’t seen much chat about Gagai – does he have potential to go big this year, or he is he too pricey given it is a similar situation for the other two CTR I have selected?

Cheers guys.

Barring injury CLaw will certainly be playing big minutes in the back row.

Your second row looks a bit weak (also 1 player too big!)......but on the serious side a solid looking team. I am not feeling the Rankin pick, if he gets named on the wing, which it sounds like he will, he should get DPP status and if you really want him you should push him back there. I don't think you should waste a halves spot on him with other possible value picks there, nor do I think you should spend that much for a NPR.

Other than that, I like it a lot, probably because it is similar to mine!

Argh. All the news coming out and I'm changing my team every 10 minutes. How's this?

Parcell feels a risk and much lighter on points than almost any other backup hooker option, but I love what his money saving has done to your team!

Don't hate the light centres at all. It's a tough position and has let you have a beastly wing full back

Given sacrifices at centre halves AND hooker I would have thought your backrow could have been a touch stronger. I personally think Merrin, Gal, Parker all better options than Fensom purely due to not trusting Ricky to play him 80
