Much appreciated, it's so fucking weird it feels like there are so many names I don't recognise particularly in CTR WFB.

This is so my year

If anyone in your WFB or CTR costs more than $426k, or has 2 working hamstrings you are overspending
Tonnes of value in EDG, look at Melbourne, Penrith, Roosters and Parramatta tomorrow
Spend money on MID, bunch of guys in the $700-800k range look pretty good

Fill the rest of your team with whoever makes you horniest.

Haha this is ridiculously accurate and the only information worth knowing before TLT ruins everything!

They can play Carty like they did with Ipap. 50 minutes off the bench as EDG with Matterson moving to MID for 60-70 minutes total. Would give Hopgood and Matterson significant roles and Carty still ticking over some extra value when Matterson returns. 

Carty playing that EDG role coming on for Ipap games in 2021 > 40 minutes, 49 average in 53 minutes.

Any bench edges that you don’t like?

Games were Carty played more than 40 minutes in 2021 he did indeed average almost 50 and smashed it

Rounds 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 13 24, 25

Whilst he did average pretty well in these games, you may notice some gaps in the numbers. Between rounds 11 and 23 he averaged 28 minutes and 21 points.

So he was awesome rounds 7-10 where he scored 3 tries and averaged 56 points, but pretty disappointing elsewhere

To be a true Carty Party he needs a secure edge role, and that sounds like it might be a bit too far. Sad because Doorey is about as exciting as a door when looking at fantasy output

Honestly, this is exactly me

I've been reading the forum for the past week or so, created an auto generated team, saved, and going to start making my team tomorrow properly

I'm still confused as to how you can have "a good TLT" from a couple of pages back. TLT is the same for everyone? Nobody has scored any points and trades are still free as far as I know?

Whats the story, boring Doorey?

I dont actually know who he is. Obviously i can see his stats are.. underwhelming. Can i get a real life player comparison for mental imaging purposes ? (I have a name in mind, lets see if someone suggests it)

Keen on Katoa, Loiero, Wilton, Butcher, Garner, Doorey

How many is too many

Which Butcher is better?

Thank you so much for this. I have left it far too late to make a team again.

Isaiah Papalii. Same position, same club, same score.

Although I'm thinking more along the lines of Brodie Jones.

Any budget HOKs that are getting a look in this year or what's everyone's plans at this stage?

Also are a lot of blokes taking Hynes to loop? He is highly picked.

Of course it's exactly you. You 2 have the same avatar, unless I look closely I don't know which one is posting half the time

Did verbal return this year? (Cant remember his new username)

Hynes news only came out recently and it’s not fully confirmed yet how long he’d miss if at all

I wouldn’t use the most expensive player in the game as a loop though because he’d miss 2 of first 6 games at minimum with R6 bye and could just pick up after then

Kenny if you think he'll get the minutes, Sonny Luke is lurking.

Hynes injury is very recent ownership won't have caught up yet.

I didn’t know this was how we were going to announce it to everyone

Issue is, he is a walking HIA every match when he played with the dogs. He was very unfortunate with injuries. Still having him in my EMG haha.
