Don't be so sure

Dragons had R1 bye last season and there were some people that carried a Jack Bird or Sloan into R2. Might be a Tiger or 2 worth similar treatment.

i think i read somewhere big tino could be in the front row this year so if hasler likes an 80 min lock then 1 of randall, clark, liu, palasia could be a great buy.
also fifita & fermor probably starting edges & both are big min players where does this leave k. haas & they probably won't have an edge on the bench unless he plays in middle rotation but this is well covered.

Alfie wrote:Only 9 games for the Workers last year so he’s pretty green. Sezer/Sullivan seems pretty certain at least to start with and you’d think they’d at least get a decent run of it

Alfie wrote:Do you usually start the year with a loop option? Surely cash gen is more important.

No, the bye every round has only been relevant since last year. A few started with Sloan, BMM, Bird, Walsh etc who missed R1 to save a trade

Or you start with a shit choice like HSS or Talau who actually lose money or stagnate, then waste a trade getting them out

Starting with Fainu saves a trade bringing him in and he doesn’t lose money. Risk he doesn’t start sure but that’s the logic. Not saying I’m 100% starting with him, it’s just an option

Every year I tell myself to avoid the mediocre CTR/WFBs cheapies. Many a shower cry had

The trouble with this is the un-mediocre fancy CTR/WFBs also cause you more expensive pain. I for one am leaning towards choosing the cheap CTR/WFBs who make 300k just for something different

Latu Fainu an easy one at 230k to start with in EMG and use as R1 loop. Will get a start at some stage, as soon as R2
