Weekes being picked over Strange
Burbo only playing round 1
Papy's round 4 bye

Lemuelu came in late and started on preferred left in the trial. And don't see Felise Kaufusi getting dropped.

Atm I'm running

Burbo and Strange as centres with Papy, Teddy and Rapana as wfbs.

Have Cotric as backup ctr/wfb and Bradley as backup wfb(/2rf I guess).

If Weekes is picked over Strange, I probably downgrade Rapana to Weekes as 3rd wfb and run with someone like Simo (or try and find the extra 30k elsewhere for Aitken if he gets named) at centre.

Then if Burbo only plays R1, I could move Cotric there.

R4 then becomes a problem if Burbo is out because I can't use Cotric as he's already at centre, and Bradley would have the bye too (if he gets the spot at all) but I guess that's a future problem.

Thinking fuck it I'm just going to run with him, he's in the best 13 every week regardless of where he's picked and he's getting picked at CTR if Sivo isn't suspended (5-6 rounds this season?  )

Liked what I saw from him at the last season and he's a year older, combos etc etc

this is a bit like weekes/strange in the trial. weekes played on the left which is the position up for grabs. strange played as the dominant half, but that's fog's job.

ricky makes curious calls at the best of times so neither selection at 6 will surprise me. just have to be prepared to adjust. have to take whichever is named and hope for the best.

Chasing a gun Mid and don`t love Murray.

Hopgood 43k cheaper and less of a chance to play origin.

I`m projecting them to both average around 60-65.

Interested to see which way others are leaning on here and why.

Cheers

Hopgood cheaper.
Hopgood DPP.
Hopgood a maybe for origin, Haas a certainty.
Hopgood more fun to watch.

Do we think Hynes will drop in price or getting a better overall team (of middies)

or another keeper (Grant, tough draw / Ponga off perfect season)?

I think at least $100k in the bank will be a good idea.

Think that's a bit hopeful

Lemuelu came in late and started on preferred left in the trial. And don't see Felise Kaufusi getting dropped.

Will likely jump on if Aitken does get named, but not expecting it.
