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

That centre lineup is a disaster waiting to happen

Auvua'a not playing, and Henry and Green could well be bench/not playing by round 2.

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.

This is my 3rd go on the Aubbs merry go round mate, I just came round to the thinking this is the one time he plays nice!! The same exact thinking that has got me shafted in the past

Well I'm set, I've got a lot of Cash Cows, just punting it. Going of to do my Army Basic training on the 15th of March, 80days training so pretty much half a season,
Supposedly every now and then you do get some tech time for bills and shit, ill be doing read ups and trading in those times. So it's going to be these first two weeks
to get some useful trading happening before I'm off.

Hookers - J.Sege  -- ---------------------- M.Cherring
FRF - A.Fifta(V) / S.burgess ----------------- S.Mataora / V.Leulai
2RF - C.Parker(C) / B.Cartw / R.Rochow ---  D.Bhana / J.Saifiti / E.whitehead
Half - D.CherryE / J.Hastings ------------ J.Feeney / A.Taylor
Center - C.Lawrence / B.Henry ---------- D.Copley / K.Auva'a
WFB - G.Inglis / M.Gordon / L.Mitchell -- K.Mann / C.Gutherson

$128k in the bank.

 I have the exact same wfb combination.  good to see. Only weakness is your centres, would be safer if you swapped out Auva'a for a DPP Centre/WFB so if Green and or Henry crash you can bring in Gutherson Or Mitchell (if given the DPP)

@Milchcow

You are a fan of Lewis Brown mate? Worth the trade off for Aubbs?

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.

Thanks beastie boy. (See what I did there?)
My backs are a lot lighter then I first had hoped but I think they are still great options for their price

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.

Thanks guys, think I'm going to run with Seggy...although knowing me I'll be flicking between the 2 for the next few days lol if I have to wear a Round 1 40 then so be it

I guarantee you Auvaa will be the starting centre sooner rather then later. I don't mind picking 1 of those 3 to play. If they score 20 points I'm happy

then again I could be messing with you. a bit of sabotage maybe

Fuck.

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

Because he looks locked into 80 min 2RF for 8-10 weeks where he averaged about 7pts above his current price last season

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

More likely to replicate Nabuli

Nabuli has to be the slowest Fijian ever

A. Mann
B. CLaw

1. Green
2. Copley

If you go green you need a decent backup I reckon he could be on the bench or Nsw cup in a few rounds

How does a player go from the starting side to being dropped out of the squad completely. Surely if he was a fringey he'd be on the bench?

Going back to 2014, Brown played a lot of 2ndrow, only averaged 34 when he played 60+ minutes
Last year that rose to 44 but Aubusson, assuming he stays in the 2nd row, is a much safer pick.

Aubusson could go close to averaging 50 whlst Cordner is out.

Unless you can make a significant upgrade with the cash for Brown I'd stay with Aubs

Welshy wrote:Help me out, might be impossible

1 bench spot to fill but only $122,000 left and i refuse atm to alter my side haha where can I get the extra $8,000?  

Smith, Lichaa
Woods, LAM, Leulai, ........
Merrin, Surgess, Cartwright, Rochow, Whitehead, J. Saifiti
DCE, Hastings, Taylor, JNiko
Henry, Aubusson, Gutherson, Davis/Matautai
Gordon, Mansour, Barba, Feeney, Mitchell

Lichaa, Rochow, Whitehead, Saifiti/Taylor/Feeney 4th reserve

easiest way is Lichaa to Hodgson but I love Lichaa or Gordon/Mansour - Mann or similar anything else?

HELpppppppppppppppppppppp

Welshy, might have to bite the bullet mate, apart from what you said above, Woods to Graham or McGuire easiest option with least impact on scores.

I've been fart arsing around with my squad for hours and also went with Rochow and Whitehead after seeing the team lists. Our teams are very similar, 2nd row is the same but my front row is Graham, LAM, Evans and my backs, Gordon, Barba and Feeney. I've been trying to find a way to strengthen my backs so I don't have to rely on Feeney if he gets the punt but don't have enough cash without doing some major surgery which I don't want.

likely will downgrade Whitehaed/Rochow to urner to free up the $8,000 i need

Abbey or Kennar?
