- nrl fantasy positions apply (not TLT)

This is getting even harder...
going for a PODish set-up.

Arrow - 531 (Souths)
Capewell - 403 (Panthers)
DCE - 928 (Eagles)
S.Crichton - 383 (Panthers)
Turbo (c) - 1098 (Eagles)
Pappy - 498 (Storm)

Total: $44581k

Tricky...

Reserve the right to edit before lockout but...

Cook
Finucane
Murray
Cleary (C)
Momorovski Suli
Papenhuyzen
Jurbo Schuster

I can see the Cleary/Papy combo is popular.
I like Bludger's PODish team with a DCE/Turbo/Papy combo

Ok, this will do;

Lawton 250 (Manly)
Koloamatangi 640 (Souths)
K. Bromwich 517 (Storm)
Cleary (C) 1,084 (Panthers)
Momirovski 391 (Panthers)
Turbo 1,098 (Manly)
Pappy 498 (Storm)

$4,478

Cheese 617
Yeo 597
Schuster 546
Cleary 1.084
Smith 446
Turbo 1.098
Gagai 603

Added bonus Chewie, by going with DCE (I actually think the Storm will be all over Chin like a bad rash on a buck's do)
offers the spare $ to pick Arrow over Tatola.

The pedant in me would just like to point out that saying the wildcard player can't be captain provides absolutely zero restriction in who you captain out of your 7 players.

That is all.

Cleary has too many different ways to score fantasy points. He will find a way !!

Haha good spot! Could make it that you can't captain the player sharing the same position as your wildcard

I'm thinking of awarding an extra Wildcard player bonus in the GF

Spoiler:

Maybe a triple score if your wildcard player is the first try scorer or something wild like that
