-3 for missed tackles in this format is a killer.
Or will he improve on not missing so many tackles playing bigger minutes again.

yeah i owned him in fantasy a couple of years ago & unless he gets a try he's a plodder & scores in the 30's...in the 2nd trial though he played a bit in the middle that's when he scored a try i don't know if they will use this tactic when the comp starts but he's cheap enough to wait & see if he's removed those negatives from his game & what his role is.

Kini is even less of a buy here than in Fantasy

Need to play 3 games to make money, and every chance Campbell is back by round 4.

Yeah, have moved him on to salmon bringing May into WFB. I've got Xerri in backs too for now

Which option do you like:
(a) Ponga & Murray or
(b) Turbo & Hopgood

Annoyingly I'm a couple of grand short going Ponga & Hopgood
(c) Ponga & Hopgood & shave the excess off somewhere else.

Cheers.

What happens with trades between the split round, are they counted or still free ?

it's still a rolling lockout so it's the same as previous years you just have to have a full team by lockout 1

@White Lightning yeah true i owned Sitili as well back then. Nightmare. Could get a great score some weeks and then negatives galore putrid score the next. Can't stand rollercoasters. Hopefully he gets those negatives out of his scores but yeah i'll wait and see on him on this format.
I will be loading up with those mid price 2nd row players it just picking the right ones.
Lane, Piakura, Fermor, Smithies, Luki... Wong maybe... maybe save spot for Curran as i believe he will start and build minutes as time progresses. He was crook in the trial so didn't get to come back on in 2nd half. Along with Hughes who got that HIA. Salmon to get bench spot so not sure if i want Salmon if not starting, i'd rather Curran. But we shall see next week.

At the moment i am going Ponga over Turbo... Rare as i usually always have Turbo to start. No Murray, No Hopgood as can't fit them in with all the mid range 2nd rowers. Feel 2nd row is the year of the mid rangers. Usually i would be cheapies and guns there.

I do feel like i should have one of Hopgood or Murray but without it makes my Front Row stronger. As the rounds go by hopefully can get one of them soon enough. I can't not have Haas every year. Tackles everything that moves.

Oh man if Blore named to start 2nd row i don't have another spot to fill lol

i like it but monitor lane he needs to play 80 mins but if tuilagi is in the 17 he's not a good option. the rest are sweet i have them too but don't have curran if he's on the bench i won't pick him. it's gonna cause a headache what if curran 13 & salmon bench but salmon has to start he's performed & has a better attacking game than curran.

i agree 2fr there's plenty of good value options you don't need a gun. yeah haas is always my 1st pick what a legend

Lane could move to the middle when Tuilagi on? TLT will hopefully give more ideas who to cut from our teams.

I bet Eels go with 2 hookers Lussick with Hands on the bench. 80 minute talk won't happen straight away if ever. But will be interesting to see what the bench is.

I'll probably end up avoiding Curran to start with for the season as much as wanted him. Salmon even Mann causing too much doubts that Curran will get more than 50 minutes to begin with.
They will eat into each others scores.

Yeah I think hands on the bench is too sensible especially when spoilt with big motors on your forwards

Haha! A rookie error NW. ;-)

P.S. From what I can see, the changes still haven't been saved.

Cool. League 1 and League 2 look ok now.

NW League still appears (to me) to says "START ROUND = 2" instead of "START ROUND = 1.

P.S. It looks like the NW League has 3 vacant spots. If it isn't full by Sunday morning, I have a couple of friends who I can get to throw their teams in at the 11th hour.
.

I have Turbo in my side now. Being my favourite player to watch i have to start with him when he's fit. I just hope he stays injury free fingers crossed.
