Not sure now, might be mixing them up with SC. I hate wingers more than centres, so I remember not being too keen on them as cows, but it's paid off to go cheap in the backs for me in the past. CTR being the lowest average position makes sense to start there first with cheap options.

Will be about $580k with a BE of ~90

So when do people without him pull the trigger? Try and get him at bottom price, or wait until after origin?

Just in case anyoen takes this seriously, you can play 0 at CTR short term, you can't play 0 at MID

I love the challenge of the bye rounds.  I like that it always feels like we don't have quite enough trades, and I like the fact at some point the acid is put on you and your team structure with unpredictable carnage.

It's the culmination of all those things that typically counteracts dumb luck and gradually let's good players rise to the top. It makes trading decisions more challenging and strategic, and playing a good game is seldom a procession through to the finish.

There's always opportunities to learn and improve as a result - if you're open to them.
I just don't think anything about the current system is that broke.

I'm sitting outside the top 5k, I think MTB, MS and Welshy are too - yet don't see any of them complaining about the game, and I guarantee none of them are throwing in the towel, and won't be surprised when they turn up at the money end of the season...

Aww the more you know. Back to the drawing board for me

I won’t be trading Matterson in until R13, if at all. Too much risk of another HIA layoff and trades at a premium. He looked awesome tonight, but also had a head clash with the Carty Party that could have easily been a HIA. I’m happy to pay extra at R13.

Very well said mate. As I said earlier, I like that it's hard.  I love that you guys continue to post good stuff even when struggling. Even MTB doing well in previous years always posts humbly, wish I could control myself that much!

I think your best point was about learning. Every day I learn something and I try to apply it with fantasy every year, taking notes, listening to those who perennially do well at this thing. Would love to get a top 100 finish, I've been close a few times.

None of Penrith's starters scored under 40.

Thanks.
Yeah, without getting to philosophical, I think the game can be a good reflection of your character - how you take the knocks, how you recognize and own mistakes and weaknesses in your game (because those areas offer the most opportunity for improvement).
But also identifying the parts of your game play that you are strong in (or tend to make good decisions around) and how to play to best utilize those strengths.

I would've said you're one of the best posters on here with generally great advice as well as some high quality drunken shit posting - so surprises me you haven't got there yet - I'm sure it's just a matter of time
