Homei'm trying to get moses in for fogarty due to this raiders too many players issue...it's proving difficult because i'd have to sell ponga to (a) buy moses & (b) leaving enough bank for terrell...it's off putting seeing smithies, fogarty, strange & kris in my 13 on screen even though it's only 3 cause burbo will loop in for kris...also having 2 halfs from a shite backline in the 13 is annoying

I think I've landed with this team for the next hour or so;
Robbo
Haas Harris Tups
Wong Pia
Cleary Hunt
RTS Kris
Pap Rapa Kini
Luki Salmon Chan Hutch
Levi Burbo Stange Hughes
Only 5K spare though which I don't like. Few PODS in Hunt, Harris and RTS though, could go either way. Not sure why I've landed on Harris either. If he's fit, he's underpriced, although he could break at any minute and did go for a HIA last game. Could swap to Fleg or Elliot. Also toying with Rapa to Tui but that's probably silly.

Apart from being coaches pet, Granville is surplus to requirements. McIntyre can play dummy half and Mikale mid

What if he scored that try in the first game? It makes no difference to his season average. At the end of the day Jaifiti can score tries (scored a good one in origin a couple years ago), so it's well within the realm of possibilities for him. Here's hoping (for my sake) he comes out and scores a double tonight!Milchcow wrote:
Although I think he still might go OK, His late season average gets quite a boost from scoring a try in round 27. Without that try he doesn't look as impressive so I am passing for now, but hope he goes well
I get what you mean though, perhaps that his base isn't as strong as it could be? I'm mostly picking him because he shouldn't lose me any money, but the potential upside is quite good. Wish me luck!

Api will be starting NSW hooker.Milchcow wrote:
Prediction time, who will actually be NSW hooker(s) this year?
Cook get his spot back. Api and/or Robson. someone else altogether?
If Api doesn't play origin, and indeed his goal kicking with big minutes, then he is great to hold as a keeper all through byes (and beyond)
What do you see him avg and mins wise first half of the year do you think a 50 avg?

Yeah the fringe first grader who couldn't stick at the Tigers or Titans is gonna get way more minutes than rep players Taumalolo and McLean

Out of all the teams, I don't think there is any team selection more hated by their own fanbase than Payten picking Granville over Mikaele
But Granville seems to be perennial, and I'm not sure I'd bet on him dropping out of the 17 soon, however much sense it makes to us armchair coaches

Someone was talking about Bostock earlier, don't just want to get Cotric for 40K less?

Is there such thing as having too many forwards in the same team? Currently got Cotter, Luki and Robson.

I get it now. My apologies. You are trying to figure out which is the best loop. If you choose Grant who is your back up HOK for Rd 4? If you plan to sell him before his next bye then I’d probably go Api and a gun centre as the Rd 4 bye is no longer an issue and having to make trades in your centres shits me to tears! It is certainly the safest option.Rabbits21 wrote:
You are selling Api after round 12 mate so you get 11 games out of him. I’m trying to decide still whether Api and a keeper centre is worth it or do I still go with Grant and Kris who I’m a bit nervous on

I am not predicting, it would only be a guess.
But largely it depends on if Galvin or Simpkin (or nobody) is utility
Galvin probably better for Api's prospects, but mid 50s is certainly a possible outcome if he's averaging 70 minutes+ and goalkicking.
Even if Simpkin is playing 20 minutes+, I don't think Api loses money. If you need a red dot for this week to guarantee an 18th man loop, and want someone who'll definitely be useful from next week, i don't think Api is a bad choice

There are plenty of examples where multiple forwards from the same team can all score well at the same time.
Only an issue when they have a bye
So from that point of view Cowboys are just about the best team to triple up on given they are the last team to have a bye

It all depends when their byes are. You could realistically have as many Cowboys players as you like as their first bye is Rd 16. Some of those players probably left your side around Rd 13 anyway.Wildbux wrote:Is there such thing as having too many forwards in the same team? Currently got Cotter, Luki and Robson.

Also going cold on Hopgood and Warming to McInnes
I know the argument is that McInnes is not value if Finucane is in the team based on the following:
With Finucane: 45 in 49 mins
Without Finucane: 58 in 60
but in those games with Finucane, he only played starting Lock 4 times for 53 in 56 mins.
Considering he's priced at 51, he's priced at his floor.
Also consider that Finucane is 33 this year, McInnes only 30. McInnes has been given captaincy (so they see him as a leader/future of the club).
Edit: If you prefer more generalised stats, since joining the Sharks in 2022, McInnes has averaged 58 in 59 minutes as a starting lock.
To summarise:
Much like a lot of other players in my team, McInnes is priced at his floor, with big potential upside. If Finucane is on the outer, or plays fewer minutes in general as he ages, McInnes will get an even bigger role. We all know what McInnes can do with big minutes, and so the upside is clear.
Thank you for coming to my ted talk, and welcome to the team Cameron.

They have a fantastic bye schedule, so in that case, I would say no.
Different to having Hughes, Curran, Salmon and Farmer all competing for minutes.
