Oh shit, Teddys kryptonite is his old team........ and goal kicking

Teddy and Papy big ceilings, Teddy slightly more consistent than Papy. Fogarty is likely most consistent with a 63 last week in almost entirely base. Leaning Fog for "guaranteed" 50+.

Do you have Difita? Ballsy play but high ceiling vs Broncs.

I'll be there. Anything you'd like me to tell him?

Who would I be best to loop with from the below?

17.Crichton
18. Averillo
19.Moylan
20.Niu
21.Stefano

In need of urgent help lads!!! Have host who was my 16th man and Gosiewski who was my 18th man with 6k ITB. My cover is fine, however now I am looking for a player to play in my 17 but only have 359k if I was to flick Host which means I kinda need to free up cash with Gosiewski to get a suitable player like Davey in right? Really not sure what to do boys so any help is really appreciated

If this weeks TLT has taught us anything, it is to pick good footballers. Anyone sub-par, compared with the players around them, even if cheap, can lose their role quickly:
Gos vs Davey
Host vs Koala
Croker vs Cust
Waddell vs RFM
No surprises in any of them losing their role quickly to a better player.

Looking at Lindsay Collins for my Lodge replacement, then Host to anyone under 372k. What do people think Collins gets minutes wise when the Roosters don't have injuries during a game? He played 63 on the weekend which is massive for him.

Is Collins worth it over Ofa?

You prolly have to go Host and Gos to Stefano and one of Davey/Leniu/Koala?

Only just catching up on this. Interchange rotation for most teams (except Souths) involves either big minute hooker or lock to go with big minute second rowers. either that or you have a guy on the bench you are comfortable finishing the game

For Manly it would look something like this

1 Taupau off Paseka on
2 Aloiai off Keppie on
3 Croker off Cust on
4 Paseka off Taupau on
5 Keppie off Aloiai on
6 Cust off Croker on
7 Gosiewski on for Davey/Sironen/JTurbo
8 saved for late injury

Alternatively we could see Gosiewski come on for Keppie before Aloiai or Taupau are ready to come back so you get a shorter stint. Or if Des is happy to have Cust finish the game at hooker you have an extra change to play around with in the forward rotation.

Thanks mate. I already have Stefano so who else do you reckon is solid around that price range. Was thinking maybe one of Lussick/Verills or Mead or someone along the lines of that. Also you reckon Davey is the best player possible to get with that price or would you prefer Koala or someone. Just so nervous about Davey and Souffs edges because it literally took me one week to get burned by them both however Davey seems to be a much better fantasy scorer and player than Gos

I would take an up and coming player getting 63 minutes, over Ofa's 43 minutes any day. At worst Collins probably gets the 43 minutes sometime, but probably goes hard out in that shorter period. Was reading an article that said Collins tried really pushing himself last year when playing in reserve grade, playing 70 minutes. It gave him the confidence he needed in his fitness to play big minutes in NRL.

Cheers for the help lads I’ll take the answers into consideration

Bit worried if he goes back to the bench when Radley returns. Radley will go to lock which means Liu either gets benched or takes Collins position...

I think Collins will go much higher than Ofa over the season, was talks in pre season he had overtaken JWH, I think his 60+ minutes probably due to the Friend headknock but his average playing 50+ minutes is 58, I think he averages 50 minutes over the season so looks good value still

I'm too worried as a Tauk owner owning both, because I feel like I'm just going to get frustrated over potential role changes week to week, plus with Radley back I'm not sure on rotation and minutes with full strength Rooster pack

Surely Liu gets benched when Radley is back?

Just curious if he's been getting the letters I've been sending since we met at Shark Park on the 22nd of August, 2015.

I was the guy wearing both teams colours and mentioned that he's the future Dally M, which I'm positive he thinks about to this day anyway, given it obviously inspired him to go on and achieve that. Shame he had to stab us all in the heart to it though..

Anyway,

Thanks mate

It's Robbo but even with Liu on bench, how many minutes does he get? More than Fifita surely? Dioes he just split them with Radley or Radlay and Tauk or Collins

Can you come back to fantasy? We miss you!

Lane to Fifita a good trade?

After Fifita doing fuck all and still easily scoring 60 I’m scared to go without him
