Matt's convinced Nanai is 80 min and that Luki is Kikau-lite. He's probably right, but nothing concrete whatsoever that I'm aware of.

IDK if it helps, but nanai played a fair bit of his younger footy in the centres and a bit of fullback. he's a lot quicker and fitter then Luki from what ive seen out of Luki, So id say Nanai would be the more likely 80 minute candidate. not to mention hes an absolute beast and the more hes on the bench the worse the cowboys will be.

I've got it at the moment, triple vaxxed. Day six for me.

First few days throat was fuuucked. Cleared up now but got a stuffy nose instead.

Had a few days really achey all over, cold chills, and just no energy. Been laying on the couch all week and it's mostly fine. But I'll get up and try do something simple, empty the dishwasher etc then I'm knackered after.

I'm happy to have Cook in my team. Very happy. But every time I try it, I find I have to cut someone I really, really want!

First time posting my team now that it's (hopefully) finalised:

Randall
Haas (c), Uto, Bullemor
DFifita, Tuilagi
Ilias, Schneider
Burton, Aitken
Papenhuyzen, Hynes (v), SCrichton

Nanai, Sexton, Mann, MKing

Clark, AFifita, Coates, Tago

$31k spare which is less than I'd like.

Lol derp yep.

Got Covid brain.

Can someone explain the Josh King love?

Just realised I have no WFB or CTR cover. DERP! Need to adjust my EMG’s.

Welch is ave 48, so not going to make $ and not going to be a gun you want for the run in. Basically a reasonable scoring placeholder, unless you think he is going to start pumping out 55s?

Welch is a heavy offloading forward. he wont be effected by the tb nerf and he will gain a heap of points from offloads. theres $$$ to be made there and hes a bit of a POD subgun, dare I say it.

Really appreciate the info mate, keep it coming! It doesn't really tell us what Payten has in mind though. I agree, my guestimate is on average, Luki 60 Nanai 75. But again it's a guess, and people get upset sometimes when things are stated as facts, when they're really just opinions.

Not sure if it's been brought up, but I've gone a bit cold on Tago since Cleary got ruled out. I don't know what edge he's on, but regardless not having Cleary means Penrith will suffer all over the park.

Might use the first 3-4 weeks to get a look at him and jump on if he's showing gun work.

I just adjusted Moses's scores to the KM and TB nerfs and he loses 9 points a game, down from 59.2 to 50.2. He loses an average of 6.67 points a game from the KM nerf alone, so he's one of the most affected by it

Thanks, wasn’t expecting that much of a haircut. he’s cut.

Alright quite happy with this team I think. I was concerned with having a really weak mid pre the Cleary news and now feeling really strong there.

Randall
Haas iPap Lolo
Fermor Wilton
Sexton Ilias
Burton Penisini
Hynes Papy Crichton

Clark
Bullemor
Nanai
Tuilagi

Schneider
M. King
A. Fifita
Coates

Reason I like him, priced low, starting for melbourne, they are as light as they’ve ever been in middles with tui kamicaka stood down

With his PPM he only needs 35+ mins to make decent money which he should

Also I’m predicting him to go up a level in terms of performance both fantasy relevant and actual in the storm system

@my tv broke let me know who they are so I can give you my advice.

You can then safely go ahead and choose the opposite.

Crikey. I'm not triple vaxxed.

I am thinking of starting with klemmer  for a no nonsense 50 week in week out. AOB said he had a huge offseason (i know i know) and is in for big mins. Just a gut feel he'll get close to 200metres a week at times and 35 tackles

My main thought on picking Paulo over Schrichton at this stage. Even with bad trial form and what not. i still think paulo gets more attacking chances than chrichton will the first few weeks.

At the moment my team is:

Mahoney (vc)
Haas (c), iPap, Uto
Fermor Nani
Clifford Mann
Paulo, Penis
Pappy, Hynes, Critta

Randall, Bully, Schneider, Ilias
Tuilagi, Tago, Coates, MKing

5k ITB.

Not going to campaign for vaccines but yeah I've had a shit time so I imagine no vax would be worse which would suck.

Somehow the mrs is still negative. Our house isn't very big either and I'm not cordoned off she was just like fuck it guess I'm getting it too but hasn't happened.
