Kiwi coach throwing the game then, isn't it?

(Just to add to this, Baz has single handedly revolutionised/reinvigorated test cricket and hats off to him. Have no idea if England will knock off the next 130 in 18 overs, whether they'll be all out in half an hour, or whether it'll go down to a 2 run or 1 wicket win. That's good.)

Drinkwater or Teddy would be fine but big jump in $$ for them. Walsh would've been the only price comparable alternative to To'o I would've potentially gone with if he was fit round 1 but sounds like that decision has been made for me.

Meaney? Averaged 46 playing over 70mins at fullback last year.

I think selecting a starting team for me is, potential guns with value:
Cleary
Haas
Burton
Doueihi
maybe Grant
maybe Tapine
maybe Robson

Probably some more names.

Easy picks:
Hopgood, Boyd, Garner/Hosking

And then sorting out this pile of potential value:
B. Smith
E. Katoa
Elliott
Frizell
Butcher bros
Cartwright
Doorey
Loiero
I. Katoa
Miller
Thompson
Blore
Preston
Perham
Alamoti
HSS
Warbrick
Talau
AKP
Sloan

and whatever else TLT throws up.

I think the team I want the most players from is Storm
Grant, Loiero, Katoa, Warbrick

I think with a R9 bye that is probably doable. You'd want to trade at least 2 of them out by then, but after 9 weeks everyone would theoretically be maxxed in price or close to it.
Does make me want to spring a bit extra for Cook over Grant though

Agree, there is a weird need to try and put people in their place, or be more correct than others around here.

Plenty of glass houses and rocks getting thrown around as well

It’s that high school mindset that unfortunately some just never grow out of….

You would think everyone would be happy today of all days, not long to go now

Happy new year mate, where have you been hiding?!

Too misses 8 points a game in TB nerf from his best season. Last year all the panthers back 5 took huge running meters coming out of their own end, stealing some from Too. That also impacts his other attacking stats when getting less runs.

I am seriously considering Turuva. Seems to have been overlooked because initially he was a 2 week fill in for May's suspension.

If he is as good as May for fantasy he could be $180k underpriced.

There was discussion earlier that Too may go back to left wing. Has anyone heard for sure if that is happening?

Yeah Meaney a viable option to be fair

Have heard same, not sure if it's assumption or based on anything solid.

Don't know if it'll make too much difference if Penrith are more balanced on which sides they go without Kikau.

is teddy going to play wet weather football for the first three weeks of the competition like every other season ? (obviously not this weekend)

is everyone locking in Shaun Fensom (C) ?

Does Fensom have DPP this season?

Cunningham's Law states "the best way to get the right answer on the internet is not to ask a question; it's to post the wrong answer."

112/5 ?

Gee, I'd hope for a better start than that on Thursday.

If you look at meaney’s stats a little closer you’ll see some high tackle numbers.
I think this was when he was named at fullback but swapped positions with Munster in the defensive line.
If anything maybe overpriced

Prick.

Would you still select Hynes if named today in TLT?
