Peats is a gun. Sticky can't be trusted.

Consider the 66k an insurance policy.

tough with Buhrer only a few rounds away, think that's a straight swap

Yeah I remember him pumping out some massive scores for manly when he was in the halves.  I guess if he doesn't play any more games he wont see the price rises. Hmmm.. cheers for your thoughts.

Price rises from the start.

I have toyed with the idea of starting Littlejohn. When he plays he scores big, if Moses/Brooks go down he'll get a start.

And if not, he'll be out of the team completely, so no money, but no bad AE and no leaking money.

Guys like Benry, Paasi, Green might make money for 1-2 weeks then get dumped to the bench and require immediate tradeout or you'll just lose the cash they made at the start as they start posting rubbish scores from 20 minute bench roles

Any got an opinion on D. Fifita? Was a gun in the 9's and surely should be able to oust Taga for that starting spot. Impact off the bench?

that's what I'm thinking but even then he surely just goes to the bench. really wanting to fit in Aubo but the only way I think I can do it is to downgrade McGuire to Evans and I'm not sold on that

Buhrer is injured.

Other contenders like Leary/Mateo/Symonds are named on the bench or NSW Cup so looks like he is there on form and its his spot to lose.

Don't rate his odds for big minutes, think he might play a short role at the start before Mateo comes on to do his stuff.

I do like him a lot more than Benry though

Mateo should take a big money contract from the super league and fuck right off

He is a PPM King that will never get the minutes you want him to.

You'll sit there marvelling at his 23 points in 16 minutes wondering what the point was.

Hmm excellent point. Bye bye Benry who I don't really want. Hello Littlejohn

He was actually pretty good to finish last year.

Averaged 26 points in the first half of the year. And 41 points in the 2nd half (as an 80 minute 2nd rower)

Now that he's back on the bench I'd stay away in fantasy, but I think he can be useful in actual NRL terms

[quote="charliemurphy"]

Makes Rochow sound good but stats I have say in 2014 averaged 34pts playing 77 mins?

Didn't notice this thread, always fun. Done!

Would barrett have old ties to green feom the dragons? To me it seems like an odd pick for a new coach to throw him in to start but then pull him after one round. Barrett seems fairly straight up so im thinking green may hold the spot for a while

Averaged 41 in 2013.

Few years ago now but that's what people are basing their hope on.

Oh man, this talk of Littlejohn is not cool, now I'm second guessing my team >.< I still have memories of him tearing the Raiders to shreds and all the talk about Moses/Brooks being out of favour/courted by other teams (HAH!) during the pre season has me thinking.

Also I think Gutherson might be one of those wingers who has one 'OK' week followed by half a dozen weeks where he's not so Ok. Could swap them hmm

Averaged 43 for the first 10 rounds though

Alright guys, one last unimportant pick to make and I am happy with my team!

I need a 130k NPR in the 2RF. Anybody got a rookie they have big wraps on?

Best sub-$283k second rower aaaaand go

Also, anyone know anything about Nathan Davis at the Titans? Is he cover for MacDonald?
