So how long is he out for? Is Moeroa a worthwhile investment until he returns?

OK, I think it's finally done. Until TLT at least...

C Smith, (J Nikorima)
A Woods, J Graham, R Packer, B Lawrence
S Burgess, T Merrin, M Cooper, C Lawrence, (V Leuluai, J Aloiai)
A Reynolds, D Cherry-Evans, J Hastings, (A Taylor)
K Hurrell, J Leilua, (K Auva'a, C Gutherson)
B Slater, B Barba, J Feeney, (G Eden, L Mitchell)

Thoughts?

C Smith + A Reynolds, or J Segeyaro + B Hunt?

I think Arey is more consistent than Hunt. But Hunt can go big.

Most definitely. But Hunt plays in the first bye round...

Doubtful, Watmough is hoping to be ready in two weeks. Although Moeroa is a solid player just doubtful on the minutes he will get. If you think he will be decent though you could select him.

This thread is going to get bombarded once team lists are out

Totally looking forward to it.

Nope, I did it again. This is getting rediculous!

I have no stats for this but didn't hunt only have one bad game last year?

A-Rey is half the player BHunt is. I think A-Rey suffered for lack of go forward last year with Te'o & Surgess not there,

How much are people expecting Cartwright to improve? Seems like a fairly popular player.

So has everyone dropped Niko now that Pearce is back ?

Pearce is back in the country, not back in the team.

Punishment should be handed down before round 1 which is the important thing

Pearce is not back in the side. He is still stood down.

option one:

smith (c) lichaa (r)
graham LAM evens (r) lawrence (r)
surgess merrin carty whitehead/rochow (r) nuff nuff
dce hastings taylor jnik
claw auva'a gutherson scott
gordon slater barba feeney mitchell 25k

option 2

smith (c) lichaa (r)
graham LAM evens (r) lawrence (r)
surgess merrin carty nuff nuff nuff
dce hastings taylor (r) jnik
claw auva'a gutherson scott
gordon tedesco barba feeney mitchell 21k

I would lean towards option 1

Bit more safety with the 4th reserve being a 80min forward over a young half.
Although Teddy vs Slater is an interesting matchup, hopefully a fit big 3 at the storm will help slater rack up the points, although statistically I have no idea if that's a fantasy relevant point.

Both are pretty solid teams, quite similar to my own.

cheers liverpool bulldog. yeah option 2 is riskier in terms of the 4th reserve, but one could argue that a gun/cow combo is safer than two midrangers? Anybody else

Now worries pal. Good luck coming to a decision

I know everyone has Hastings in their teams, but what sort of scores do you think he can manage?

Going for the set and forget centre option this year, 10K remains in the account.

Smith(vc), Lichaa(r)
Grant, Evans, Lawerence(r), Leuluai
Parker(c), Merrin, Cartwright, Aubusson(r), Gray, Aioli,
DCE, Hastings, Taylor, JNiko
Croker, Lyon, Auva'a, Gutherson
Gordon, Mann, Feeney, Barba, Mitchell

Final reserve to be drawn out of a hat, and Barba is only there should the unexpected happen.
