Slater vs Gordon vs Mansour

Looking back at 2014 stats its very hard to go past Mansour.
Can he go back to his tackle busting ways?

If not then at full fitness Slater probably beats Gordon, but with rumours he is in doubt for this weekend can we trust him to be full fitness?

Further to our convo last night, has your opinion changed on Seggy vs Peats?

A tad mate playing 80 I expect both to go close to scoring 60, Seg the more inconsistent and Peat the more reliable scorer but still a massive injury worry and Pritchard hanging around as 18th man is annoying

Anyone looking at Gavet?

Anyone else playing littlejohn?

BUMP!
Don't ignore me bitches

Smith, Lichaa
Bromwich, Woods, Evans, Packer
Surgess, Merrin, LAM, Rochow, Saifiti, Bhana/MCK
DCE, Hastings, Taylor, Nikko
Green, Ferguson, Henry, Auva'a
Mann, Barba, Feeney, Mitchell, Gutherson

The other option is moving Ferguson to wfb and replacing Mann with CLaw

Slater is more of a half then a FB in attack these days. I think his fantasy points are limited

Job security for Nathan Green? A cheaper alternative to CLaw and Aubbo. Could he be this years Soliola.

He is in my team at present but not very comfortable with it.
I think Brooks and Moses are crap and should be gone, but it won't happen.
Littlejohn may only get one game.

I'm currently on Lichaa, but if Seggy plays 80 he will average 60. He averaged 69 mins last season. If that increases to 80, then his scores rise to around 60.

ET on a stacked bench for Penrith is the only thing holding me back.

Brooks and Moses played very well in the trial against the Sharks. But then littlejohn came on and also played very well lol

I'm on Lichaa mate, injury affected scoring avg should be around the 54 mark and almost zero attacking stats, surely he gets a few more TA's his year after a year playing the 80

Easy Aubs to Ferguson, why do so many people think Aubs will be any different this year?

more CTR depth than 2RF at the Roosters until Cordner comes back surely? Should play 80 for at least 8-10 rounds but this is Aubbs we are talking about

Only the cashier at Dan Murphy's

For one starting centre spot, I'm trying to decide between 3 L's.

Lawrence. Lafai. Leilua.

By my calculations, Lawrence MUST play 80 to be worth it. If he plays 60, he will only hover around his current price. That Tigers bench is full of forwards. I'm not confident Lawrence is going to play 80. At all.

Lafai and Leilua are underpriced compared to days gone by. Both have big potential. I'm expecting both to make 40k minimum.

Leaning towards Leilua at this point but it really is flip a coin stuff. I'd go Lafai, but that Dragons side won't score anywhere near as many points as the Raiders this season.

No, he'll be out of the side when Brooks is back next week.

Really like that side mate.

-No problem with the hookers
-2 reliable guns, including a POD, and Evans as reserve which I'm a fan of.
-2 big guns here and some mid rangers which is a great combo. Would run MCK here as Bhana could very well be this years KNiko with talks he will provide some cover for hooker. MCK will hopefully get a run this year, plus his DPP allows for shifting between Green and Henry
-Standard halves pairing
-TLT has well and truly forced some changes in the backs. A few options you probably didn't have before but they slot in well and provide you with a fair amount of depth.

Surprised there hasnt been more talk about Chanel. If he plays well could hold out Mamo and the likes and make some cash.

That's exactly right Welshy. Averaged that without hardly any attacking stats. He said he'd be taking the line on more this season, so that'll be 20-50m more in run metres per game as well as potential for more LB's, TB's, LBA's and TA's...

I am as my 4th reserve. Probably a bad idea having him as he'll be out next week but there it is.

Fair enough, I've been screwed over by him twice, so I'm way to gun shy now, just not willing to take my chances.
