With only Stimson on that bench as a potential threat to his mins, I think he's pretty safe at least initially.

took a quick look back, both games he was replaced by Klese Haas, who Stimson seems to have been preferred over, so i wouldn't use the word 'safe'

Just realised I have the cash spare to upgrade Tapine to Murray - would you do that?

Essentially it's Tapine + 123k spare for upgrades/fixing mistakes or Murray + 9k.

here's my team with basically all my salary cap used

smith
murray, carrigan, sutton
e. butcher, loiero
cleary (c), doueihi
thompson, alamoti
latrell, miller, warbrick

boyd, hopgood, ford, trindall
utoi, doorey, talau, akp

any thoughts appreciated
having utoi in my emg's has me thinking i should downgrade to a tmm or even cheaper like a 250k to get some bank.

I had a look at his stats last year and he played 80 mins in 6 of the first 7 games as well as in 6 of his last 8 games (really 5 but one of them is 76 mins so close enough), it was really just the middle of the year where he was managed more.

My plan is to have him round 1-2 and if he doesn't fire, then sell him for someone else round 3 (Hynes if I have the money to do it and he's back then, potentially Turbo if he's firing).

If he does fire then I keep him through his tough matchups in round 3-4 and his bye, because his matchups get good from round 6-8 (Dragons again, then Broncos and Dolphins)

Shunted Fifita out of the team and added a little more depth and security to the side

Hodgson
Sutton Haas Uto
Katoa E.Butcher
Cleary Doueihi
HSS Staggs
TMM Turbo Ponga

Hopgood Cheese Gardner Trindall

He's in my current drafts. I've have a lot of drafts though...

Playing around with my final gun options. As it stands I can pick three between

Grant/Cook
Murray/Haas/Tino/Carrigan
Doueihi

Different amount of change left over for round 2 fix ups.

Any reason Tigers and Titans have yellow dots?

I'm pretty happy to use them. I would have preferred one extra reserve though.

Agree on this. There is about 25 players I'm trying to fit into 21 spots so would much rather an extra slot or two

Shady2K wrote:Not a lot keen on Murray - just the price?

One of my first picked.

Leniu again mate?

Edit: Do you mean rd 4? (Collins and Smith perhaps?)

Big Spence is definitely due for a break out year

Yeah meant round 4 with Collins and Smith

Just cut Grant and now have a MID of Murray, Haas, Tino... don't hate it

Games been postponed, now Tigers, Titans and Dragons have a round 1 bye and Tigers and Titans play twice in round 2 with there fantasy scores to be added together.

Those with Levi not concerned with starting minutes and Stickys rotation.

Last season Woolford when starting averaged 40 minutes rotating with Starling for the rest. Levi when playing between 40 - 50 minutes only averages 31 points which is a bump compared to his price but not a very large one

Dale Finucane @ $527k. Should average 45+

Who are you thinking at hooker?

i think that weight needs to be put on the fact that the 2 of those last 8 games that he didn't play 80 were the last 2, and add to that, they went 2-0 in those games vs 1-5 in the games he played 80, if Holbrook thinks he's stumbled onto a forward rotation that wins games, he may not shift from it, even in a new year with new players.

I think I've got my side set up now, and based on Hynes's prognosis on nrl.com changing to TBC, I think I'll give Trindall a punt. Uto down to Ford allows me to go Preston up to Trindall but if we hear any mail that contradicts this then I would just reverse those two switches and put Uto and Preston back.

$55k bank

Cheese
Haas, Murray, Hopgood

Thompson, Alamoti
Miller, TMM, Warbrick

Boyd, E Katoa, Loiero, Trindall

Ford, I Katoa, Talau, AKP

Okay last team I post for today but just did a full clear and re-do and I think I much prefer what I have just come up with.

Hodgo
Murray Uto Haas
Katoa E.Butcher
Cleary Doueihi
HSS Alamoti
Turbo TMM Ponga

Cheese Hopgood Doorey Trindall
Warbrick Katoa I.Thompson Preston

112K ITB

Playing CTR roulette to start, and after bench #15 it kind of goes to shit, but the cash itb should help make any jump I need to after round 1-2 where I only have Turbo missing out in R2 and none in R1.

Grant at the moment.
