    I think I'll go with him instead of Teddy

    It's very fun to watch Haas scoring lots of points. What's not fun is not owning him while he's scoring them.
    Enjoy lamenting every Hopgood offload and burrow over try. Guy tries harder than any bloke I've seen in a forward pack in a long time.

    Death riding Haas is no fun, but my strategy has been to always avoid watching the Broncos play which has a net positive effect on my happiness.

    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

    if you think they'll both average the same, get the cheaper one that doesn't play origin.

    IMO Haas looks like the better scorer, although you do have to pay for it

    I don't see loading up on Raiders being a problem, their bye is ages away. It's more just picking the right ones, if any.

    It can become an issue trying to loop them.

    Weekes being picked over Strange

    Papy's round 4 bye

    Papy's bye could be timely for bringing in Campbell for a failed mid range forward.

    I thought I was the only one with RTS, but looks like he's gaining popularity.

    I also have Cobbo in my CTRs at the moment - not keen on relying on a roundabout of cheapies with uncertainty on their job security/ability

    #TeamHaas here. And something about playing in the USA has me thinking he’ll boom to flex on American Football. Currently has the Captaincy for the Goodnight Kiwis

    Yeah true. But I don't see a lot of value planning out my loops fir the next several weeks. It all gets messed up anyway. I'm an opportunistic looper. I'd rather just pick the better fantasy picks. That may or may not be Raiders.

    I'm current running Penis/Burbo with Strange EMG

    Are people going:
    Gun CTR/Mid CTR, then Burbo and Strange both EMG, with the view of moving one of those starting CTRs to Kris if Burbo scores? So having 4 CTRs

    Or Strange starting CTR?

    Or something else I'm missing? (likely)
    If I take Ponga have to take Simo or Suli can’t afford Penisini.

    I am going Hopgood. Will be ignoring the first Haas score on a small field, where he probably gets 75+, with the whole game being played in the middle of the field with a huge tackle count, more like a game of touch, trying to catch the opposition offside with quick play of the balls, rather than spreading it wide.

    Have Suli/Strange with Burbo EMG with 168k ITB

    If Strange not named, can upgrade to Kris if Burbo scores OK. If Burbo doesn’t score great, probably do some readjustment.

    If Strange named, possibly upgrade Suli or spend cash elsewhere

    Full team:

    Cheese
    Murray Cotter Tupouniua
    Wong Piakura
    Cleary Fogarty
    Suli Strange
    Teddy Rapana Papenhuyzen

    What's so good about Ponga's draw that you mentioned before?

    Raiders
    Cowboys
    Storm
    Warriors
    Dragons
    Roosters..

    No Tigers until Rd 10. Just grab him for the double tonne vs. Dragons in Rd 5 after he drops some cash

    I didn’t mention Ponga draw must have been someone else.

    Raiders, Cows, Dragons he should go big in those.

    It’s just WFB looks so dire mate and I don’t like Turbo.

    What do we project Haas at first half of the year and Murray? I’ll have a guess Haas 64 first half of year, Murray 59.

    Anyway, yeah WFB is tricky. Pap, Teddy and Rapana for me, but Rapana will be first to get downgraded when TLT2 goes shit. I'd go with Latrell, Walsh, RTS or To'o if willing to spend that kinda cash for Ponga.

    Ah the no [insert gun here] strikes again

    Murray is basically in the same scenario as Haas was last year where he’s priced basically at his floor (57 BE)

    In games 50+ mins
    2021: 62.2 (65.8 mins). For 60+ mins 65.1 (69.7 mins)
    2022: 67.4 (70.2 mins). For 60+ mins 68.5 (72 mins)
    2023: 58.8 (69.6 mins). For 60+ mins 62.6 (72.8 mins)

    ALL OF HAAS, HOPGOOD AND MURRAY ARE GOOD OPTIONS
