    Hardest decision for me right now is to go cheap in the halves and get Ponga, or go cheap in WFB and get Moses.

    So we think he keeps up his scoring in a bottom 8 raiders?

    True, but hard to ignore the strike rate. Looks tough to stop close to the line with that frame.

    I don't mind the Kiraz pick too though. Any space for him at WFB?

    How many minutes we expecting Levi to play ?
    Starling might play a bit of lock role too .

    Hopefully enough to sustain a 30 average. He’ll make decent coin doing that.

Career average of 58 playing 80 at second row and he's the sort to rip in to try claim the spot. Maybe loses out to Horse or something round 3?

    I have 5 Raiders already and am definately looking at Hosking or Smithies as a 6th. 2 out of 6 might work out.

    Levi
    Strange
    Fogarty
    Kris
    Rapana

    I can have Kris at 17 but then I have 4 players available at centre which seems like madness (even if 1 is playing half and 1 second row)

    Chan is surely a trap. Blore coming across was always going to be the play. Chan may get one to two weeks.

    Kiraz is a watch for me this week. No preseason is a bit of a concern and the dogs left side attack is Burton, Kikau, Critta and Fox. Id say they'll be getting most of the good attacking ball

    Yeah I thought that might happen to me, so I let Burbo go through to the keeper. Might be better to just stick with your original plan. Hard to let the Burbo score go, but get the cash rise and the players you want the most.

    Possibly right but Kiraz is averaging 47.5 at centre without seeing any good ball yet in his career

    Thrives on a sideways slapsie and fast and loose offload

    How many mins for Levi do we reckon 45-50? Really want Chan but have Grant and Pap wouldn’t be wise to take Chan would it?

    Yeah I agree, looking at Chan's fantasy stats on Yafss (amazing work ynot) they look very average. That combined with NAS and Blore to come into that pack I think he's an easy avoid.

    However deciding which cow is worth getting in instead is quite difficult.

    StormTrooper96 wrote:I’m honestly thinking NAS has nothing to do with our edges. Last year he was forced to play out there a lot due to injuries, no depth and us needing some spark. This year we have a little bit of forward depth, and I see him either knocking King to the bench or coming in for MacDonald and playing that bench impact role from 2020. Bellyache isn’t really the type to play games with team lists and pretty sure they see Blore more as a Middle/Lock. If Chan is named I would say he has that spot until he shows he isn’t up to it or if he gets injured. Only competition is Bradley who is untested and Chan looked a goer from the limited time he got last year. Could be his reward? I’m going for it.


    Blore surely a better ball runner out wide. So at full strength would you say Blore would displace Trent at lock and Chan stays EDG? To be fair I didn't follow the trails of the Storm. Did Chan, Blore, Lorioro all play edge or is Blore injured atm?

    Fair chance, but his price isn't going to rise out of sight of you give it a couple of weeks to see.

    Kiraz playing right Center last season (the one that gets less ball), still averaged 47, with just 1 try and 0 try assists in 5 games. Low of 38, priced at 40. Doesn't need lots of additional stats to score well, just runs a lot out of their own end, offloads a lot and busts lots of tackles to get there every game. Add in a try or assist and he gets a big score.

    How good is the ctr position this year. We have two base price cheapies, one playing 2nd row, one playing in the halves. All the exciting dual players with big attacking upside - RTS, May, Kiraz, Cobbo, Garrick. Plus Wighton to come in eventually. And I haven't even mentioned the traditional guns like Manu, Gagai etc. And to top it off Talau maybe getting a run next week

    Even at 55 minutes, he probably scores 40+ and makes some cash. Works really hard.

    Lot of fucking shitters really.

    Not even convinced shoes is worth it. That dogs rotation will be an odd one and king/cuz/mann are going to eat the mins then theres poasa and morrin as well. What does hughes score.. 20 in 28 mins ?

    Chan is only 21 i dont think cup stats are the be all there. But JS is the main concern.. perhaps 3.3 MTs a game is a problem, depends how hes missing them i guess.
