Best centre since Mal Meninga, why wouldn't you

Now that we are all in on CTR, what will MS do given Jarrod Croker has retired?

Need to find a player that won't get dropped or suspended, plays for a pretty shit fringe 8 team and has an ability to blow tries. Brad Parker come on down

Sorry mate, no dice.

He's moving into the second row. What a waste.

Updated the team optimiser on yafss a fair bit.

Projections are improved.

You can now also set:
- Maximum players per team
- Minimum bank you want left over
- Minimum players at each position, for positional cover

You can also lock players in, to force them into the squad which is quite fun.

This is what a team would look like with Cleary/Hynes/Haas/Fifita/Ponga:

That looks great, but the Team optimiser need to be adjusted to optimise spending towards centres

I might be carrying this joke too far...

Anyway, that 13-21 (plus the two centres) looks pretty thin.
The other 10 players look like they have some pretty handy talent amongst them

Wow, I was out of town when this website was put up. Amazing work mate.

So essentially it's not a good idea to run all five of Cleary/Hynes/Haas/Fifita/Ponga?

Yeah, just an example to show what it can do, would not suggest.

I used it to squeeze in Cleary, Grant, Murray, Tapine, Haas into my lineup last year after the first TLT.

Yeah probably not

Still not as far as centres will be carrying the ball in 2024.

curious ynot?

how do you project the scores? is it guess work? or is there a system?

If Burton really did shift to centre then imo it cements a future crack in the NFL...

But really, if they did put him to centre then the Dogs are giving him extremely early ball. I can see it ending in absolute disaster. Truly.

- Filled out every teams top 17 based on likely team list articles
- Calculated all players historical PPM and average minutes at that position, if they have no stats I use the positions average.
- Make sure all the teams minutes are complete by bumping players minutes up or down
- Generate the projected points which is PPM * Projected Minutes
- Fix up the projections to make them lean more towards more recent seasons or bump things down a bit if they don't make sense

Kind of a system, with a bit of guess work!

I think the projections are all pretty accurate and around where I would've had them placed aside from a few points here or there. Lussick I have projected higher but as you mentioned, I did it based on the fact Lussick will play 80.

"Not convincing at all from Carty"

Could've sworn I was watching cricket, not a Titans game from 2018.
