Anyone's thoughts on whether to leave this or downgrade Murray, Grant to some of the other cheaper guns and have a more rounded team.

5 is the sweet spot it seems this season. I only have 4 this season and I feel like I'm a little light to a degree so I think you're fine.

Any obvious things I've missed?

It's fine. There's a 3rd Katoa? Don't know why TMM so popular. He's rubbish fantasy wise and IRL and we have terrible draw after Newcastle game

I'm liking everyone's Suaali'i pick.... now it has me thinking. I don't really want to change my team, but having someone like him with the potential to post 200 points against the Dolphins rd 1...and then use him to switch to Bird once he has the bye.... hmmm.

Haven't posted much but I've been reading pretty much every page on here for the last couple of weeks. Was glad to see Matt's post get a whole bunch of upvotes haha - quality post summing up how most teams on here are different to ownership %

Recorded a video last night discussing every teams changes/forward pack expected mins. A lot of the info would be from what I've read on here. Plugged footystatistics.com as well - absolute gold mine. If you're keen, links to the youtube video and audio for spotify/apple music etc is here below. And also league codes for Fantasy and SC where we've got $500 up for grabs and it's free to enter.

Happy to hear that assessment - I have 5.5... Haas, Murray, Cleary, Tapine, Fifita and Drinky (who's a tick under 700k)

Currently got the same 4 + Doueihi. Strongly considering downgrading Grant and Murray to Tapine and Cotter and using the cash elsewhere as well..

If you drop Grant you may be likely to receive a why no Grant comment

Yea I have some cash in the bank for that.

Effectively what I am trying to decide is Latrell or Doueihi even though they arent the same position

With that in mind I'd rather Latrell+Boyd but prefer Doueihi over Latrell in isolation.

Latrell (+ Cook and Murray) are interesting picks because they will likely be the top scorers in their respective positions by round 12 by virtue of byes and scoring power. They are also fully priced and you're likely to trade them by round 15 (or by origin 1). So as starting picks you pay a lot and you get some insurance.

Seems like as we get closer to game day people are getting nervous and cooling on the super cheap back 5.

TU: Carrigan CNK I.Thompson
TD: Blore Drinkwater Sualii

do have a third option as not super keen on Sualii

which is Garner Drinkwater I.Thompson but it requires Doorey to AKP

I've been burned by Drinkwater too much as he can just be inconsistent. So I'd go the first option

I have 3, Cleary, Carrigan and Tino. And only Welch in the 600s

I'm not sold on Tapine or Dinkwater personally but you have three of the biggest guns and the boom potential of Fifita which is great

Think there's a decent chance Jake Arthur comes onto the Eels bench. Would that have Hodgson owners concerned?

Woke up, fucked around with the team slightly and have ended up with (C)leary, Murray, DCE and Teddy in the squad. Feels pretty fkn good, all players I enjoy watching IRL too how good!!

There's tweet saying Blore will split edge minutes with Kepaoa so that plus Bateman back soon I'm out. BA has basically said Doorey will play 80 at some stage of season but not to start so I'm looking at maybe getting a better cheapie forward getting minutes off bench or even Carty Party of Trindall gamble

Thoughts on going Schoup at Centre instead of Sualli and then upgrading Robson to Grant?

Welch and HSS or
Sutton and Suaalii

Didn’t realise Thompson could be out for so long. Surely Sutton can tick along nicely in that 13 role

he scored a try in a trial match. Surely that's good enough for you.

Alex Twal ain't ever doing that

Created an Open League group purely to grab casuals who browse the league tab. It's nothing special or fancy might pull a few eyes.

What? You only selected Grant once? Why is that?
