he might get two penalties and then flano will roast him for it and he'll spend 1hr a day forced into practicing them and he'll never do it again

Didn't they go there a year or 2 ago, and it lasted half a round?  Although that could have been playing it square.  Darius Boyd ala 2010 owes the Tigers a GF berth for that

No, we're owed a 2010 GF birth for Jeremy Smith putting knees in the back in the tackle (within kicking distance). Missed by the refs but charged by the match review committee

I hope your friends are right regarding Ma'u.

Ma'u was an 80 minute player last year & it is a dead cert he'll do the same with Scott, Watmough & Moeroa there.

Was that the one on Lote?

Milchcow wrote:

Ma'u was only subbed 5 times last year. 1 of those was for injury, 3 of the remaining 4 he played over 70 minutes.

So unless you think Ma'u will improve his stats somehow there isn't much value there.

Woods averaged 55 leading up to origin last year.

Had a couple of injuries post origin that saw his priced average drop to 49.
Had 3 consecutive scores of 3, 37, 22 where he got injured and then saw limited  minutes returning from it. Ignore those 3 and his average is 55 for the year.

So all he has to do is not get injured and you will get value out of him. He doesn't need to improve on last year per se. Just maintain what he was putting up before injury.
Not massive value - but there aren't many people at that level who are hugely underpriced.

I'll probably trade him out for origin, but he is almost certainly in my team

Other option is James Graham who is also slightly underpriced when you take injury into account. But given he is already under injury cloud for this year I think I might pass to start with.

However with Price Changes beginning from Round 1, how much cash should you save just in case to jump on cash cows you may have missed.

So how much cash do you guys have in the bank now and how much would be the ideal amount to save.
