Rate My Team

Main team is pretty regulation. Done something different with my son's team and would be interested in getting a Welshy rating.

Hodgson (JNik)
JTrbo, Grant, Evans (Leuluai)
Guerra, Cartwright, Whitehead, Moerea (BHenry, JSaifiti)
DCE (c), SJ, JRey, Hastings
Roberts, Fersuson (Green, Gutherson)
Inglis, Gordon, Barba (Feeney, Mitchell)

Haha I've even hoping for a welshy rating.

Also just a quick question, I am trying to decide between Copley and BHenry in the Centres. Currently have Copley and 3k, would it be best to go for BHenry and have 40k in the bank as insurance?

Hodgson 45-55 (JNik)

Guerra 45-55 Cartwright 40-55 Whitehead 35-45 Moerea 30-45 BHenry, JSaifiti)
DCE 110-122 SJ 50-55 JRey 40-45 Hastings 30-40
Roberts 35-42 Fersuson 35-42 Green, Gutherson)
Inglis 40-48 Gordon 40 Barba 25-35 (Feeney, Mitchell)....753-864. Middling out to 909 plenty of potential cash to be made in that team missing the major half cashies though might be a mistake, would personally change SJ to a cashie and upgrade Guerra to Parker and GI to Teddy

I don't know why Leuluai was in bold. Thinking I might go Littlejohn as a little punt against the Warriors haha

Claws score a bit lower than I would hope for? Is there an alternative you'd recommend?

just not trying to get carried away some guys who have decent sized overs have proved they can do it and have scored so beforehand I'm unsure in CLaws minutes so basing the score on around 60 minutes I think he will get, not sure better and he is pretty safe in getting that score i think, around that price you could look at BJ Leilua, Lafai, Browm if you have the extras

Ahh i see. Cool will look forward to seeing what happens this weekend

Pretty happy with this side now

Smith(c) Lichaa
Woods Grant Evans (Leuluai)
Surgess Taupau AhMau Cartwright Whitehead (Safiti)
DCE Hastings (Nikorima Taylor)
Aubusson Littlejohn (Green Auvaa)
Gordon Barba Feeney (Mitchell Gutherson)

Not so many big guns in this squad, just a group that should still score well and raise in value. Well I'm hoping so anyway.

Seggy (c), Lichaa
Woods, LAM, Evans, Grant
Surgess, JDB, Cartwright, Whitehead, Bhana, JSaifiti
DCE, Hastings, Taylor, Jikorima
Aubbs, Lawrence, Henry, Littlejohn
Mann, Barba, Feeney, Gutherson, Mitchell

Leaves me with 40k for emergency cow acquisition next week lol

There is something very wrong with my squad but I can't put my finger on it. I know something needs to be changed, suggestions please.

$21k.

Smith, Lichaa
Bromwich, Woods, Evans, Packer
Surgess, Merrin, LAM, Rochow, Saifiti, Bhana/MCK
DCE, Hastings, Taylor, Nikko
Green, Ferguson, Henry, Auva'a
Mann, Barba, Feeney, Mitchell, Gutherson

Ok. Latest incarnation after TLT.

Smith (C) / Hodgson (R)
Woods / Sue / Packer (R) / Welch Nicol
Rochow / Taumalolo / Graham / Moeroa (R) / J.Saifiti / Bhana
DCE (VC) / Hastings / Taylor / J.Nikorima
Lawrence / Aubusson / Henry (R) / Gutherson
Barba / Gordon / Tedesco / Feeney / Mitchell

Thought?

I like it except for Littlejohn, 1 week just isn't enough

@jstands. Man your team looks good. Not sure what your worried about. Probably over analysing things like the rest of us.

After being forced into some adjustments from TLT

Smith, Lichaa
Surgess, Graham, Woods, Leuluai
Parker, Cartwright, Whitehead, Rochow, Safiti, Bhana
DCE, Hastings, Taylor, Nikorima
Fergo, Green, Henry, Gutherson
Gordon, Barba, Feeney, Mitchell, Eden

9k left

Tossing up whether to turn Fergo into Lawrence which would give me the cash to turn a Rochow or Whitehead into Sue and give me that FRF/2RF ability to shift around with Surgess. But I'm not fully sold on the Lawrence hype, whereas I think Fergo may well explode, I keep thinking about how good Fergo was when he cracked into Origin, he was flat out dominant at that point.

I'm sure people will be iffy on Green but personally I'm saying fuck it and jumping on. Not that much money required to get him and it might pay off a lot. Fortune favours the brave.

@jstands You and I had similar squads for the first half of last season but quite different this time. For the record you left me for dead in the second half of the season.

Things to consider from my point of view:

- Rochow maybe no upside
- Green no security
- Mann flops
- Feeney Flops

I have most of them out of my squad for those reasons. If it helps I've got:

Peats Cherrington
Fifita Grant Evans (R) Mataora (R)
Parker Merrin Cartwright Ah Mau (R) Whitehead (R) Saifiti
DCE Hastings Taylor Nikorima
Leilua Copley Henry Gutherson
Gordon Slater Barba Feeney Mitchell

I feel the only really risk here is Cherrington but he won't be a reserve after the first round, so the risk is just he doesn't make enough money.

You make some fair points, but I would rather punt in the backs rather then my hookers who are basically the backbone of our teams when it comes to scoring points

Picking the right cash cows this season seems very difficult

There's so many cows...

Thoughts on my team boys?

Taumaulolo is a no no for me, but he rest looks very solid.
