Grant of Evans?
I don't know if it's any relevance but I also have Woods
Argh... Questions like this make me want them both
Think I will drop Whitehead to have them both then have a look at whiteheads minutes in round 1

I need someone for my starting 13 out of Feeney, Copley and Mitchell. Im thinking in that order but maybe Copley safer bet?
I also need one more reserve scorer from whoevers left from that lot and Ash Taylor, Benry, Leuluai, Saifiti, Bhana, and J Nikorima
Any suggestions?
Yep, Copley would be the safe bet, I am playing Feeney in my 13 but that's the price I paid for including Ted; and then Benry the other safe bet, allthough he could just as easily end up benched before lockout for Bodene. Nikorima might be worth a look.

Ricky talks team selections
Raiders coach Ricky Stuart spoke to the media today and gave his thoughts on the team selected for the round one game against the Panthers.

2:16 "Sia and Fenno will play big minutes"
Yep - Logic would suggest these 2 being close to 80 with any reduced interchange as clearly capable of it. Was surprised to see Soli on the bench but then again he prob comes on at 20minute mark for a prop and stays there, shuffling between positions.

Bah... Screw safe! Copley's dull. Won't run pretty much ever on an early tackle and feeney I don't think any of us know. Mitchell's your man!

Maybe not so much this year, but moreso next year if they go down to 6. But I can see more teams outing quality players on the bench so they can take somebody off and leave their replacement on for the whole game. Better to save trades that way than have to spend extra trades getting all your starters back on the field again.

Forgot the position if you think any player valued 482K will deliver on their price then select them in your squad. The only downside is that as a WFB he may have down games but on the upside Tedesco will also have a couple of games where he goes BIG. He is a WFB keeper who is a POD, if you have the cash to splash I say go for it.
Cheers thats some sound advice!

I've always been safe, that's why I never win anything.

Not sure if it has been mentioned here yet, but James Roberts interview after the game...

So dumb in the current environment but so funny

You probably want Teddy in your final 17.
options are
a) get him now
b) wait until he drops a bit in price and get him then.
If you go option b) you have to hope that when (if) he drops in price you have a trade and cash free to bring him in. And also be prepared to miss out on whatever scores he puts up whilst you are waiting.
If you go option a) then it means you have to sacrifice elsewhere in your starting team in order to afford him.
I have gone b) but I am concerned about not starting with him
I remember waiting for haynes price to drop a couple of seasons ago and it never did! It means downgrading whitehead which i have no probs with as it will prob take him to get up to speed with the nrl and get used to the heat

Hmm thanks, I reckon this one going to go down to the wire for me. Copley safe bet but who knows what Feeney could do.

don't think you can afford not to buy him, what if he has a binders and locks a starting spot down. same goes with benry, you'd be an idiot and o not have both of them.
God I hope I'm right or my ctrs are in serious trouble
Aww shit man, I currently don't have him and have exactly $0 left (I'm going opposite to SI - equally as crazy though). Can't work out where to raise $35k. Probably means losing super TED or Whitehead but then I can't find anyone decent to downgrade them too. Could go Aubbs to CLaw but doesn't feel right. Wouldn't be fantasy if Aubbo didn't bite me on the ass at least once in the season.

PLay Feeney, FB's score better than CTR's usually and Roosters are against Souths while Knights are facing Titans.

Both probably play 60 straight
Soli on after 20, Fensom off with 20 to go

I love Fensom, been a mainstay of my fantasy sides since the get go, but there's too much doubt over him this year. Would love him to prove me wrong but I reckon he's in England either next year or the year after
