Remember the days when we would fill our teams with as many hookers as we could and now most people only have 1

Big time. This is the most barren year I can think of since 2015. B Smith is such a great solution to the MID/Hooker problem this year but there's no value there. Maybe it's worth sacrificing the value for his utility and also extremely entertaining game? Wish he played R13.

Wait why is Stephen Crichton the second most picked player?

Underpriced asf, on the best team in the comp and DPP.

Auto pick

Ponga is the Mann but don’t think he will average more than 70-100km. I do think ponga knows he will have to be very involved and more active for us this year. Next part of his game he’s working on is to be more deliberate in backing up offloads and sniffing around the ruck in the middle third like a Teddy or turbo

Haven’t been at first grade training since Covid but more senior Physio is back with them so should have good info this year

Alright 600k I’m in

Averaged 35.8 last year, priced at 28. I think the 7points just got sacrificed to the fantasy gods cause there's not much rhyme or reason to it

Mate not every player has to make much money. The upside in Cheese is that he doesn’t play origin has DPP  and is one you hold for the year and play in your 14-17 in the run home. I love this kinds player in my team.

I have no opinion on B Smith at this stage, but i think this is a very good point, that is sometimes overlooked

Seems like we're thinking similarly Mr. Cow. At the moment my decision is between Fifita and a gun hooker, but currently have plenty of edge players up my sleeve. Tempted to go Cleary-less. That decision comes down to what I might be able to do with the cash once I have a final team post-TLT

Current team is:

Mahoney
Crichton, Lolo, Utoikamanu
Katoa, Nanai
Cleary, Ilias
Tago, Penis
Pappy, Hynes, Critta

Randal
Bullemor
Tuilagi
Schneider
A.Fifi (not confident, placeholder).
King
XCoates
Jennings (placeholder).

7k ITB.

Have playable cover for each position.

Anyone thinking of still going Kobe and just having no cover for 1 round. His price and covering 2 lines with few cheap bench options

Or do people think he might not get a spot now

Please join L5, you have the league codes, and apparently have opened the PM containing them. If you don't join soon your position will be given up to someone else

Hmmm... so where is this League 51 you speak of?

This will probably change on TLT, but currently have TEN players in 300-350k range. That seems to be where all the value is this year, but ten does seem to be bargain-chasing overkill.

Just can't see much value or security in the sub-300 range other that Schneider, so only have him and one other (King currently). Will eg Penisini make more money than Vailea? Probably. Will Nanai make more than AFifita? Coates more than Russell? Again, probably. And who are you happier to play in your 17 when required?

240s will crop up through the year when starting hookers etc get injured (look at Schneider this week) meaning you can cash out those who are stumbling, but year of the Premium Starting Ubercow.

Just started a league if anyone wants to fill in some gaps

Funny you say that and I’ve got 2 downvotes. Oh well they can keep doing it but it won’t make me piss off I’ll still be around.

Mate that’s a gun team right there amazing wow.

Does the fact Stone or Rein could be on the bench not concern you that Mahoney might not get 80mins?
