Could go a little lower and get Liam Martin, he looked quality and seems to have 80 mins locked up with Sorensen taking mins off Kikau instead

Cheers guys, will see what I can do.

There aren't too many hookers that play 80 these days. I'm not too worried about Grants minutes, i'm more looking at his attacking upside. Last season was the classic get injured in pre-season, struggle for fitness all year. He should be fit and ready for a big year.

Thanks. And barring injury etc, you see him as keeping his bench role for the season?

Looks to be the first picked specialist MID bench, safe as houses, especially when the coach sees you beasting every week.

Thanks, I’m in mindset of trying to get big minute players, you’re right guy is a gun with huge upside,

I definitely overthinking him

Grant definitely doesn't need 80 to be a gun.

If he somehow ends up getting 80 he just becomes a mega gun.

I've gone Cheese and Lolo to Haas and D Young

Team is

Randall
IPap Bullemore Haas (C)
Wilton Fifita
Hynes Ilias
Burton Crichton
DYoung Paps Teddy

Leniu (Yes I know!) Nanai Baker Russell
BSmith WSmith Schneider Koula

I've got some fires....

Team locked and loaded for Week 2.
Grant (vc)
Haas (c) Mann AFB
Arrow Nanai
Wighton Clifford
Tago Penisini
Papy Hynes Critta

Randall
Bully
Tuilagi
Schneider

Ilias
M King
Berry
Smith

Does MKing get less minutes when RFM returns? Does Hetho return to bench and become first sub on for middles?

Grant is a top 5 HOK in the game and Wishart is a 1 game rookie

Incredibly unlikely that it’s going to be a split role. With how light the bench is, will probably have both on at the same time

If I could get Grant in this round, I would. For those who can, I doubt you'll be disappointed (unless you're trading out a fine player)

Wow wow wow now

Who is Welsh Mafia in the Fanatics FOG?

King wasnt the first middle sub last week fwiw.

If his form keeps up this could change. Looked strong. Regardless its not a sure thing. Neither is scoring at 1.5 ppm

Absolutely not mate! This is my worry with him getting 25/30 and not getting that 150K

In other news tee has arrived in UK mate, only day or so away from delivery, you legend!

no mate! 20 tackles less than season average last year in first game and still went alright, no role change. Hold

I love the ballsy Young pick. He is going to have fun playing outside Gagai.

Any knights fans know which wing Edrick is likely to take? Could be a great $240k buy next to Gagai too.

Well with Billy Smith in, I've got two centres.

But I would like myself some Jing and Tago.

Can the group think please tell me to make these trades in case they backfire.

Uto, Vailea out

Tago, Jing in

90k into the Cleary fund.

Will probably hold Vailea for some fancy looping this week. No point trading him when no appetising base price players around... wait for Koula to start, or he might be back in team in a few weeks anyway.

Russell
Haas, Lolo, Mann
Difita, Nanai
Clifford, Schneider (Ilias/SWalker loop)
Aitken, Tago
Papi, Crichton, Hynes

Fermor, Tuilagi, Bullemor, Vailea (Coates/MKing loop)

TU: J.Simpkin + $194k > Aitken
TD: Save a trade to eventually get Grant maybe next week

Grant
Haas (c) Lolo Bullemor
Tago Nanai
Burton Amone
Penisini Aitken
L.Mitchell, Tedesco, Papi

Randall, M.King, S.Crichton, Schneider (loop)
Coates, Tuilagi, Ilias, A.Fifita

Tuilagi will replace Schneider if Coates puts in another poor performance. Pretty happy with my team currently.
