I'm predicting 45 points (to equal Hodgson) so 'happy if you have him & happy if you don't'

Probably about the same, but there's the chance because it's the dolphins he gets two tries and scores 70 points and us non owners are left with eggs on our faces

Those with Butcher and Smith that are opting to pick a gun WFB are you leaning Tedesco (Probably scores better or Latrell who has the optimal start of season bye schedule?

Rather interested to see how AFB goes tonight, was on my radar

Have gone Ponga, don't want a 3rd Rooster to start the season.

Latrell because gut feel and the Teddy round 4 bye.

As soon as I put him in my team I was too scared to take him out.

I've got Latrell because it will be hard to cover for 3 players out during the Roosters bye

I think you may be out on a limb on your own there. Who do you have as hookers?

Grant, Hodgson

I've missed a lot of the Ponga talk. He was on my no go list but certainly has his admirers. Thinking he scores mid 30's? I'm kind of thinking about taking the risk now because my backs are horrible. Ponga owners want to sell me?

I'm still undecided on my 4th WFB

But I have ruled out TMM. Just checked his socring at 6 in QCUP last year

37 with a try, 21, 21 and 17
Just can't risk him in the NRL

Don't really like other options either. Izaac Thompson needs a try a game in order to make decent money. Perham is only marginally better than TMM.
Khan-Pereira screams low base. Despite the low scores Tommy Talau at least looks to have a reasonable ceiling that he can hit somewhat often.

DEAR GOD, you picked Ponga, are you actually responding to us from an institution?

Who is death riding with me?

I’ll join you. Anything under 45 I’ll consider a win

Don't think you have too worry much. Likely not playing 80. Remember his scores last season? I almost passed on him

I do, all i remember was

MT MT MT MT MT MT MT Run MT MT MT TRY MT MT MT

Smith for a Banner

He's got a good draw
Warriors, Tigers, Dolphins, Canberra, Manly to start the year.

If you get 2 big scores in there, and no tiny ones, then you're doing OK.
You're going to be holding your breath every game worrying about another concussion

Concussion is the big one, even in the trial playing 5/8 his head got taken off a couple of times.

That kept me away from Ponga

Had the same conundrum...same feelings on all of those guys. Went with Tommy Talau & feeling at peace with my decision. DPP, nice price & best perceived JS as well.

Cameron Smith has a better chance of getting a banner this week

Gotta Play 1 of them:

Upvote: Uto
Downvote: Ford

Second CTR spot is a pain at the moment. Have Thompson but probably best to just save the cash and go HSS. Any stats to back the Raiders lad up?
