i'm still struggling to see any REAL value in the 130/134k forwards.

d saifiti - probably be in and out of hte team in a flash. mickey paea is only out due to injury, and stockwell missed most of last year with injury - probably just needs some match fitness/kick up the butt.
j saifiti - probably the best option from what i read about him and should hold onto the 2nd row spot for a while unless korbin goes back there?
bhana - probably only get around 30 mins.
zane musgrove - will likely get a run in 1st rnd but when turgess and gurgess return there isnt alot of room behind them and clark+tyrell
Leuluai - looks tempting but napa evans moa should do the bulk of the minutes. liu and SST coverage at lock. not alot of room for him. 25 mins?
Josh Aloiai - another tempting one but where does he find the minutes? woods grant sue play big mins in the middle then ava/edwards off the bench
ben henry - dud?!

any others? cos i'm looking for the best option...

Speedball Deluxe wrote:How much planning are people putting into their team re: bye rounds. Surely if a player is a 'season keeper' like say Surgess you have to make sure you have players in your 2rf who will play the weeks he is out, no point trading in and out keepers right? Like Surgess, Taupau, Cartwright, is a terrible trio with regards to byes cos all 3 miss round 12. Or do you say screw it and cop it on the chin (loss of points/position) because they are who you want and byes be damned?

White Lightning wrote:(a) Taupau or (b) Woods

If (a) Surgess frf
If (b) Surgess 2fr

I see more upside in Taupau. Thoughts & thanks.

They'd better hope Pearce doesn't come back early or he'll make 50k and lose it all in 2 weeks when he gets the 15 minute bench role. Anyone remember what Morts got down to when they let players go below minimum price?
