Rate My Team

Honestly other than a few TLT issues the squad is really good. If you can squeeze Barba in over Copley pending the TLT I would like it a little more.

Thanks bro

Really wanted to have graham in there instead of LAM but couldn't fit him in

Also possibility of Latrell Mitchell playing early for roosters so hopefully he can come in for Benry

That sounds like a really good idea. I think you may end up dodging a bullet not having Graham as he is already under an injury cloud to start the year.

Hey random, care to give me one of your trademark breakdowns of my team I posted a couple pages back? I'll find it and quote it

1k to spare

Having a supergun is a great move. I really like the Fifita and Merrin additions. The squad does look good but I feel you have a big void missing out on D. Cherry-Evans and the rest of your team doesn't make up for it.

You have some really solid guns in the 2RF and a few key guns elsewhere. But when you compare it to say Klem's team for example who has DCE, Smith, S. Burgess, Merrin. I struggle to see how your side makes up for that. Fifita is great and Tedesco will be amazing, which is where all that spare cash has gone.

You do have solid depth, I just think Rochow/Cartwright could be downgraded to turn Pauli into another gun or vice-versa possibly. (I haven't crunched the numbers.)

TL;DR: Nothing wrong with your team, just feels lackluster considering some of the omissions made.

HOK: Doesn't get better, I would look at Hodgson if he looks like getting 80 minutes.

FRF: At first I read Packer as Parker.. I was astounded. Still quite astounded as it has some very good depth. I do really like the Bromwich pick as he could end up grabbing close to 80 minutes.

2RF: Solid, Solid, Potentially Solid. No complaints there.

HLF: Most popular starting format.

CTR: Risky, what are your options if Auva'a and Copley don't end up starting. Not saying it wont work, and if there was a position to sacrifice it would be here.

WFB: Same question regarding Barba. I think Mann has fallen out of flavour towards the lead up to the season. So he could be a really decent option.

Honestly, you know the areas of your team that aren't up to par and there is absolutely no problem with any of the players you have selected.

- Smith and Segeyaro. The only person I have seen running this and damn it looks good.
- Graham under an injury cloud I would probably say take someone like McGuire or Woods (Who is more under priced than Graham) if you can.
- TLT question marks remain with Barba, Copley, Auva'a but shouldn't force a reshuffle until their positions are confirmed.

Overall you have a really strong looking team, part of me thinks it looks stronger than my own.. Okay actually for the most part it does look a lot stronger than mine. Fuck.. I need to go rejig my team.

Firstly I like the first team a lot more just because you have Smith in it, so I will review that team.

- As stated I think A. Woods and J. McGuire are better options than J. Graham. Especially with J. Graham being under an injury cloud as of late.
- I have mad love for A. Guerra, but he will be a trade out over Origin and plays 80 minutes already. There are other guys that have more of a chance of making you cash and A. Guerra isn't a top tier gun. So either upgrade or downgrade him to other options like R. Rochow, S. Taukiaho, Z. Taia, L. ah Mau. (Also could swap him for a FRF Gun/Cow via Sue.)
- Whitehead only if he is starting.
- A. Taylor or J. Nikorima over T. Maire-Martin.
- TLT questions with Barba, Auva'a ect. Nothing to worry about now.

Lichaa Hodgson

Surgess Cartwright AhMau Whitehead (Leuluai Knight)
DCE Hastings (Taylor Jnik)
Croker Auvaa (Gutherson Henry)
Tedesco Mansour Feeney (Mitchell Eden)

- Whitehead only if starting.
- Croker is a PoD. While I am doubtful he losses goal kicking to A. Sezer he could. I personally would go with someone who is a bit more consistent in the CTR's as a better option. M. Aubbusson if you like a brush with a trap.

Other than those little notes nothing wrong with any of your squad.

Cheers random I appreciate it mate.
My team could be in for a massive reshuffle if TLT isn't kind to me

One of Auva'a, JNik or Taylor as 4th reserve.

Thoughts?

- What the fuck happened to your FRF?
- J. de Belin while I think he is potentially great he may be coming off the bench which is always troublesome. But it could end well.

Honestly your squad is stacked across the park but man that FRF is really hurting. Especially with so many mid tier players available there and in the FRF/2RF that may make cash. However if you are happy with it, I wouldn't change a thing. Having J. Tedesco in the WFB is a big jump on others considering his potential.

All good mate, I was just in the process of playing catch up.

Smith, Hodgson

Surgess, Papalii, Taupau, Aubussen, Cartwright (Aloiai/Knight)
DCE, Hastings (Taylor, J-Nik)
Leilua, Auva'a (Gutherson, Henry)
Tedesco, Ferguson, Mitchell/Feeney/Eden

Cheers all.

- I prefer Aubusson in the CTR's.
- If Papalii plays in the FRF does that change your feel about him? If he plays in the 2RF I wouldn't select him, no reason I know of that he will improve on his 80 minute performances from last season and he can be inconsistent. Considering his price and all the other guys available you could spread that cash out elsewhere.
- I don't like Leilua, personal preference though.
- More Tedesco picks and I love to see it.

Other than those minor issues your squad looks strong especially with cash left over.

Lichaa
Tolman Woods Grant Evans
Parker JDB Ah Mau Cartwright
DCE Hastings Taylor
Fergurson Copley
Mann Gordon Mansour

Any thoughts or suggestions you may make?? Will replace Mann for Barba if he is fullback

- Who is your second Hooker?
- Tolman doesn't improve that much with Graham out, and I don't see him improving that much currently. There are guys cheaper than him that could post similar scores (J. McGuire) or make cash (B. Lawrence, J. Trbojevic, V. Leuluai if he gets a run.)
- I posted some thoughts about J. de Belin for his price there are too many question marks about his minutes with M. Cooper there. He will score well regardless I just feel the cash is better elsewhere.

Other than that your squad is looking good.

- A lot of people have begun to shy away from Parcell. There is potential cash there and he could be a good cash cow, if he is getting limited minute/40 minutes a game he could be a slow burner for price rises. Personally if you want a cashcow I would go Nikorima if it looks like he can nail down a position.
- Gallen is a standout particularly if he lifts early in the year. Just note there will come a point when he needs ot be traded out.

Other than the fact you are lightish at WFB and running with a cashcow hooker your side has a large amount of impressive guns. It looks really really good.

That is a great looking team, but I don't personally like the cow hooker route I will put some numbers to this when I get into work

Smith Lichaa
Graham Grant Lawrence
Surgess Graham Whitehead Turner
DCE Hastings Taylor
Claw Ferguson
Tedesco Gordon Barba

or

Smith Lichaa
Woods Graham Grant
Surgess Graham Cartwright Whitehead
DCE Hastings Taylor
Claw nuffie
Freguson Gordon Barba

I like both so I can not decide! I think I just need to stop playing with my team.

Is Avauaa playing? I've seen Hunt named instead of him in some predicted teams.

724 - 875. Middling out to 800.

Thought this might be the case, plenty of guns to get the consistent scores with a few flyers capable of taking the score high
