Confirmation bias from those trying to sacrifice to gun up elsewhere
Let’s call a spade a spade
He is one of those PPM forwards that have burnt fantasy coaches for the last 15 years

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.

The other factor for welch is he has been named co captain, and the storm are light a few mids having lost finauncane and tui stood down, hopeful that welch takes on more responsibility and minutes which translates into a slight uptick in fantasy

Randall
Uto, Mann, Bully
Fifita(c), Fermor
Sexton, Clifford
Burton, Aitken
Pappy, Hynes, Coates

Randall, Nanai, Tuilagi, MKing
Crichton, JKing, Ilias, Schneider

Thoughts?

looks good to me mate, your CTR is no longer going to be a wasteland! Coates will be interesting to watch, I have no faith in him for fantasy.
You have got a lot of cash generators there, hope most fire up for you good luck mate.

Any love for Billy Smith? Ignoring injuries, could very easily play Suaalii out of a job. Also will be on the left with Keary and Angus which gives me a stiffy

NRL360 saying Manu will play wing. Guess that means Momo at CTR

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.

My missus had it so I had to quarantine with her for a full week also. Our place is a townhouse so no real escape either. I didn't get it too.

Guess some people just get it and some don't. Some get hit hard by it and some don't. Kinda weird aye

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.

Only prob with Nanai is he tackles like my nan. Hopefully they have been working on that.

I’m itching closer to swapping Tago for him

Is only coverage (loop in R1) for my team

Does your nan have DPP

He is defo on my radar first few rounds, want to see how he is going 4 rounds in and if Suaalii is anywhere in sight. For now I have gone gun/cow in CTR and he is a wait and see.

Hi, first time poster, would love some thoughts on my current team:

Randall
Lolo, Bullemor, AFB
Riki, Fifita (C)
Schneider, Ilias
Smith, Timoko
Teddy, Hynes, SCrichton

Nanai, Tuilagi, Papy, Fermor

Leo, Grant, M King, Vailea.

Leaves 1k in the bank.

Little light through the halves, targeting bringing Cleary in round 4-5.

No love for CNK?

Taking away his 5, he averaged 39.4 when playing 80 mins last year (5 times)

Is priced at 35...

If it makes you feel any better the one guy i know that hasnt had the vax got it recently and had one day of a runny nose and thay was it

I'm double vaxxed. All depends which strain u pick up hey, and the individual of course.

Yeah relatively smallish here to, not much chance to partition ourselves and most likely to late. Just have to see what defenses Rev puts up whilst under fire

Someone on here was saying they played with/against him and he was a gun for what that's worth

Lots of players are guns at a young age but don't translate to NRL

I'll still likely go Nani over Luki. but its not based on how good he was in high school or what some random podcaster thinks about his minutes
(its primarily based on the fact he is cheaper)

Vaxxed up and agree with Mulvy somewhere between a cold and a flu. We all got it and all had different symptoms
Kid - felt tired and hot for half a day, right as rain 24 hours later. Wife felt ‘non specific’ off for about a week. Me, runny nose and aches in hips/back/shoulders. Was tired af for a couple of weeks and took about three to feel 100%

Is Burton goalkicking for the dogs?

The Goat Boys wrote:Can someone explain the importance of Hooker cover to me?
I don`t know how I feel about my team bringing in a gun hooker to go with Randall (I don`t like the cheap options)

If Randall is your only hooker and he gets injured this week you basically have 2 options

Find a cheaper hooker that will play and give decent scores
Trade out one of your guns to bring in a decent hooker

If Randall plays every week and scores well, you are fine, and the risk of no hooker paid off.

NJDPDM7S for anyone that wants to enter my league, muchus gracias

Got 600k for one bench spot left... some notable options include Burton, Uto, Arrow and Clifford...

Who would we all pick (Cover doesn't matter for this pick)

Also already own Aitken, Sexton, Mann

Was on my list of break glass in case of emergency options if team lists didn’t work out.
Don’t think there is enough value there to be worth a trade and scores below keeper level
