    would upgrade Taia to a gun, or get in a 4th reserve (Rochow/LAM). Other than that I would be intrigue to see how you went

    Have to step away from my side for a bit as I have to go out. Pretty happy with where it's at and unless there is some late mail drama I can't see any changes needed

    If you are going to ever do this, this is the year. So many traps everywhere, this is a great insurance policy. To be honest i dont mind that team with those $$$$ still in the bank.

    Pretty much along the same lines as what I'm doing SI except that I have a few higher priced guns so I only have 134k up my sleeve.

    This is a big thing for me to do as usually I'd spend that money upgrading a mid ranger straight away but I just feel that things will be a little different this year and there is money to be made with the wait and see approach.

    Long short, me likey!
    YEah, was trying to find the boundaries.  So at one end I could have another gun and have just over 200k but that felt wrong.  The other end was I could downgrade Ted to a Gordon or Bobblehead and have 600k in the bank, that felt wrong as well.  I am actually half comfrotable with this current squad on potential with the half a million nest egg tucked away.  Trades are not the issue, we pretty much all burn 6 in the first 3 weeks.

    With Henry, Green, Gutho as my 3 centres I'm stuck between 2 choices for 4th. Littlejohn for his upside and potential price rises or Matai as a locked in cheapie in case Henry and Green are dropped within 2 weeks. Also have Aubbo in 2rf so that gives a little more security. Would push Carter or Taylor into my 17 if I had to move Aubbo down but most are running with a similar reserve.

    Any advice?

    I ditched him last night, before I'd heard rumours of going to five-eighth

    Basically his 2RF average is boosted by tries. Take those away and he only averages a couple points higher than his priced average.

    I think he is safe in that regard in that I don't see him losing money, but by playing Nathan Green instead it just freed up some cash to fix up elsewhere.

    I've been tinkering with SC and VSDT teams today.

    Technically changed my Fantasy team today because it was past midnight when I finished last night, but nothing really today.

    Must say I am pissed off about the Thursday start to the season, spent most of today thinking its Friday, and get pissed off every time I realise I still have to work tomorrow.

    +1. Those last minute changes screw me every year. Going to stop now before
    a) The fanhub site crashes
    b) I end up with Aubbs
