a for me especially if you have Smith

B

I'm trying to decide between these two
A. Lichaa + Fifita
B. Smith + Woods

Less total ownership with option A so bit of a differential over option B.

I'd take the one with Smith for sure

Yeah Smith is locked in for me

Really struggling with Ctr position

What are the options you are juggling with or the cash you have to spend on x amount of positions.

On CTR's I had Hurrell to start with but after it looked like he was long odds I went with CLaw but if Hurrell's named Round 1 I wonder if I should put him back in my team. CLaw is far more reliable going purely by base stats being a back-rower and all but Hurrell's capable of those 80 point games as well which balances out his average games. Job security's a worry though, first time the Warriors drop back to back games Hurrell will be blamed for it and dropped.

Does anyone know much about Nathan Green?
I seem to recall he scored quite well in limited games at the Dragons.

No. I just worked him back into my team. Centre position is ridiculously garbage this season. I'm running with Claw, Lafai, Auva'a & Gutherson at the moment (TLT dependent).

Kind of hoping Latrell Mitchell is named at centre to give him DPP status and open up a couple more options.

I've given up on my team until tomorrow afternoon. I'm sure there will be a number of shocks and surprises.

I actually think it will be a fizzer and we'll learn little! Can't imagine coaches giving everything away first up.

Expect long extended benches, near all of them including a utility to interchange. Grrrr

Nice work L4 and MF.

Almost feels like Christmas eve.

Screw it. I'm going McGuire as my gun Frf. Sure he'll need selling pre origin, and he recovering from injury, and there are better guns with more upsides but God damn it I need to have at least one bronco to cheer on when I watch my team every week! (was going to be Hunt but can't go past value of DCE and can get him later when he drops value a touch and I cash out my cow halves, fingers crossed).

Then option A for me mate, absolutely nothing to suggest this but i think Parker takes a dip in avg this year, nothing other than gut feeling

Haha considering how hard it is to find a real money league, quite right - we play this for fun!

Whitehead will make my team if named to start for the same reason

Stop it, with talk like that you'll have me picking BHunt instead of DCE as well (got the money spare too) lol.

Keep dreaming cupcake. Parker will still be a must have for the run home after origin.

I know he will and he will be in my team at some point, a dip meaning a few points under his current avg....

Would I be right in saying he is the broncos 'gun' Frf ahead of Adam and Sam in the mins/starting pecking order?

Best cow 18th man FRF under $215k? Packer vs BLawrence vs Matagi vs Other?

IIRC moose did play more mins then Blair and Thaiday before his injury last year however maybe someone can back that up with some actual mins played?
