Yes. Turbo v Bunnies

Yep got Chin but I am thinking Murray. Set for big mins hopefully

Burton eh??.....he doesn't have CTR DPP anymore and he was playing the Tigers last week*






*comments may have been influenced by starting with him last year, trading him out for his purple streak and trading him back in for his indifferent end to the season

OK, so my dilemma....

I could go any of BMM/Stone/Doorey to Lemuelu.... (to replace HSS in my centres)

or.....

Trindall to Turbo (would make my backline Kiraz, Miller, Turbo....and not have to play Warbrick)

Very tempted to going Murray, but then again I haven't nailed a captain choice this year so idk what I'm doing tbh lol

I've also got chin but captaining Haas just based on current averages, 63 vs 49

If I had Murray I'd strongly consider captaining him.

I don't though, so am going (C)hin.

I'm confident he'll banner up to quiet the hater and spite the trade-outters.

I'm leaning Grant or Haas.  Haas worked well last week.  Grant is in for a big game too if Munster doesn't actually suit up.

Murray is a good option, but I just can't trust him.

Todays mission is to have a look at some value picks for 14-17 bench spots with job security
Might give something to discuss today and it's easy to spend up the budget on a gun and then left with no way to upgrade the bench
You choose a few dodgy cheap picks regardless to force the trade and find yourself in a team death spiral
Have seen a few teams here quietly do this and have noticed it again this year. The fence is long and tall to observe from

Given the lack of 230k cheapies, might need to look at what else is out there and increase the depth of the starting 17 over some of the more questionable picks

Sub 400k players that can average 40+
400-600k cut price keepers average 50+

Sometimes I feel it could be worth looking at $/points too and see if there are some value picks that I may have overlooked. Easy enough to discount some and worth having a look while on a coffee break

I feel currently the cut price keepers there are few that the boat has almost left (Wilton/Gilbert) while I am a week or 2 early on the fallen guns if wanting value or need to see another game from them (Young/Brailey/Frizell/Burton)

So will be interesting to see whats around

i have robson (c) atm

Tapine already a gun and has yet to get 50 minutes. It's been hot as fuck in all of Tapine's games so far. Once it starts to cool down I can see him getting more minutes.

The other thing to consider is JPap coming back into the side means Tapine's first stint shouldn't take as much out of him as Big Papa can take his fair share of the tough early carries where the younger blokes wouldn't have been helping out Tapine as much.

I'm personally very pleased with Tapine's start, and the best part is it's almost exclusively base! Take any of his games, give him 3 offloads and 5 TBs (which he's more than capable of) and suddenly he's putting up 70-80 point scores in under 50 minutes. The guy is a weapon and I can't tout him highly enough.

He's very much on my to buy list, hoping I can get timing right and not miss out on boom score

I like the 2nd option (Bringing in Turbo) more than option one tbh

Captain Tohu for me. Back in NZ, where the temperature will be mid 20s and against the Bulldogs, so expecting a game being played through the middle. Looking for another 80 minute performance and a 70+, should at least hit 60+.

This is something I've been thinking about the last few days. It's generally a pretty important part of fantasy as most squads don't make enough cash for an ideal 17/18/19. I wonder if the additional trades help to get this over the line or if we will still be running "sub optimal" options like DBrown, Olakau'atu, SWalker, AFB to round out the squad

For what it's worth I'm looking at guys like CHN, JTurbo, BHunt, HYoung in this range based on historical scores

I like that, I almost traded Robbo in this round, but needed halves.

The cheap (sub 400k) player this week with the highest potential ceiling is Brandon Wakeham. Jacob Host might be second! (This assumes everyone has Preston and other super popular cows)
