    Tommy T is popping up everywhere in everyone's team. He has a previous history of low scores, plays centre in a spud of a team that will be slightly better this year. By all accounts he played well in a team that pasted the opposition by over 30 points in the last trial, scored a try but still only managed (24) Fantasy points.

    Is this only to cover CTR/WFB, because if it is that is not enough of a play to warrent this inclusion.

    Nowhere near my team.

    The only reason I'm not is team composition and not being able to afford him over a guy like Uto.
    If he works for you I say go for it!

    Edit: I have literally just upgraded TMM to Hodgson which only leaves me 24k ITB but surely is at minimum 10 points more. Not sure having such a small amount of cash on the sidelines is worth it...

    Anyone want to get your bets in on the player everyone will be ripping their team apart to get in after one big performance in round 1? There's usually one, last year it was Arrow from memory.

    I've taken Doorey out of my team for the moment in anticipation of Klese Haas taking Fermor's spot later in the week. I can always replace with Blore or Trindall etc if absoultely necessary. If Klese Haas gets named, I will choose Klese. Doorey is not likely to make so much money that he is out of reach so not too much will be lost. Carty is trash and should not be considered

    Payne Haas, who is still only 13% owned.

    David Fifita another one if he gets a big score (especially if he moves to the left side and gets to run at Blore instead of Ipap)

    Hodgson run from dummy half, into contact and offload to Doorey who falls over the line

    Love the idea, but don't have the genuine nuts. The idea is great, but its who you are going to have to remove to give him a place in your team. For me its Grant, and I am looking at the potential points I am going to loose as opposed to the savings I will make with Hodgson.

    These are the reasons i didn't pick him despite the fact he is a great IRL player

    I have been playing NRLF for over a decade and I can't remember a season where Hodgson has been relevant. He has always been low to mid 40's (i.e. just above where he is priced) and therefore a bit of an 'inbetweeny'
    He is old and he isn't Cameron Smith in terms of 'been lucky with injuries'
    Coming back from an ACL
    Allegedly thinks the Ramones are overrated

    I see him as as a Brandon Smith alternative but without the scoots, erratic scoring and mins, sin bins and the cheese (i.e. less fun)

    He will of course be really steady until the SOO

    Also why don't I have pictures on the web version of fantasy. I want to see Smith's smiling little head.

    If was great pick everyone would be on but there's lots of nagging questions plus Arthur might end up on bench

    I just can't seem to get a good team comp I like with Grant, without sacrificing 1-2 of Garner, Butcher, Carrigan

    Hastings + Ford + TMM + Blore/AKP/Presto (emg) - vs -
    Garner + Loiereoroerieo + Uto + TMM (in emg)

    My last decision on bench/second half structure (dropping hastings moves Boyd there). I like the first more, but the second feels safer with all those forwards.

    I'm on the HodgsonHighway (TM) and main concerns are injury, Jake Arthur's potential inclusion, and the possibility that he won't get back to his best.
