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%

But ur fit as a fiddle, a beast of well known proportions.

Cody or Sam?

$40k Change.

Probably way too many mid range guys, but I have a lot of HLF choices so that's good.

Having Wilton in EMG seems pretty counterproductive given his short life-span, quite a bit of money in EMG

Could swap Luki to a cheapie and play Wilton and upgrade 17 elsewhere

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

Youre nan must be a big hitter!!! Jers put a couple shots on me and they hurt...

Sam

Guess depends on the make up of the team,

Currently running SJ & Clifford as my halves. Is that "bad"? Personally I just see value there, but I'm a sucker for SJ

Exactly my problem now I’m even considering Clifford or even S. Walker.

I’ve gone with Walker.
Did you know they have a really good draw for the first 10 rounds?

How much will he do with Keary there is my concern?

Like there will be lots of attacking chances for him! He was avg well til the second half of last season when he started burning out. The GK is the big upside.

Another older and stronger could be worth the punt.

I probs won’t go Clifford cause I don’t expect Knights to do well. I think DCE is a bit overpriced.

It’s probs either S. Walker or Moses for me.

This year is fair, we both don't have Cleary

Far out going old-school and ignoring the centre guns (Burton, Aitken, Bird) allows a shit-hot pack:

Cook,
Haas, Lolo, Mann
Difita, Fermor
Clifford, Schneider
Penisini, BSmith
Papy, SCritta, Hynes

Randall, Bullemor, Tuilagi, Amone
Ilias, Coates, Vailea, MKing +58k

That is fair and you bring up Wilton's short life in the run on squad most likely. I'd rather ditch him for depth or for some more cash.

1) Gun + Randall
2) Randall + Clark
3) Randall + no cover
4) Other

I had option 1, then changed to 2 and now am on 3, but want to go back to 1.

Same

Finally at a point I'm somewhat happy.

Starling
IPap, Crichton, Tolo
Dafita, Nanai
Hunt, Schneider
Penisini, Tago
Papy, Hynes, Critta

Randall, Bullemor, Tuilagi, Ilias

Coates, Billy Smith, Will Smith, M King

77k in the kitty

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.

I can't really pull apart your selections, they seem okay. Riki maybe, what's your thoughts there, I hadn't considered him. There's absolutely nothing wrong with Teddy, Hynes, Pappy. I wouldn't personally start with three gun WFBs. The position often has volatile scoring which means you can usually pick up a gun cheaply at some stage. Some do start with three guns though, so that's just my opinion. I normally go for one or two. If you do go that way, swap Pappy and Hynes so that you get the extra dpp cover of Hynes on the bench. Looks fairly solid though. Good luck!

His appeal is that he's somehow goalkicking now. I still am super suspect on this, but Walker seems to be the kind of fella to practice for hours after training every day. He's an extremely motivated kid with a top 3 coaching team around him, he's been heralded by the club since he was 16. Literally impossible for him to be a bad players.

The real question is whether he becomes a Luai 2.0, great IRL but bad for fantasy. Have to take a gamble on his potential I suppose.

It's still up in the air for me. I am having real trouble having faith in my centres atm.

I like it mate just Coates his base stinks you could go 70k cheaper and get Russell who I think will scores quite a few tries on that Parra left edge.

I see you’re off Tago I get why. I think I might just hold onto him as he probs guns it when Cleary is back.
