HomeIs trading out Hopgood and Moses dumb? I am sure TLT will throw up other issues, can make 70k going Hopgood to Tohu. Might maybe wait to see if there are any further updates on Moses this week cos he looked great in the first 20.

Having watched the Raiders v. Knights game pretty closely, I reckon he could actually average 800kms this year.
There was absolutely nothing doing aside from Fog booting the ball down field, a good chase, solid / aggressive D from the Raiders pack and then short attacking kicks in the 'red zone'. Everything, and I mean everything, the Raiders will be doing this year will be run by Fog.
I agree, raiders did not look like a team want to, or. Ring capable of scoring long range try’s. Boot it long, tackle hard and barge over. Simples

If you didn’t start with Smithies all logic suggests waiting 1 week until Horse is back so you have all the info you’re speculating about now

800km is a bit of a stretch. Even Hynes with Moylan averaged less than 400. Or SJ with 500 average last year. He’ll have lower games when Raiders don’t complete sets
Re Moses, with his price now dropping I’m thinking of leaving Fog and waiting for Moses price to lower. Fog no means a must have

I don't doubt that he'll get a lot of kicking metres but surely that level isn't sustainable every week. I would think he'll get 400-600 most weeks, and this week may not get quite so many given that the Tigers suck.
Smithies just passes the eye test more.
That is true; I guess it comes down to which player you need for team balance and who will increase the slowest.
According to MTB's site > Smithies will increase by $28k if he scores another 52, while Fog getting 56 will mean a $20k increase.

Yep. 800km average is stretching it a bit, but I think you get what I mean regarding how the Raiders will play this year.
My biggest concern for them is every team will do video work and (if they are even slightly coached) send Edges sprinting out to put pressure on Fog every time a kick is on. Not to mention (dare I say it) some teams may even decide to put a dog-shot on him to hobble him and effectively wipe out the Raiders attack.
I only say this because for a couple of years now, teams have worked out that by shutting down Ponga, you effectively wipe out the Knights.

Seibold on Schuster: “Josh will play reserve grade this week,” Seibold confirmed. “He is right to go, he passed his last running session on Saturday.
“But because he hasn’t played any trials and has had a disrupted preparation, we want him to play reserve grade in the back-row.
“Josh had a calf injury but before that he had a spiral fracture in his finger and before that he had chicken pox. “His first (off-season training) block over six weeks was outstanding but then he got chicken pox just before Christmas and then he broke his finger, which needed an operation, and then he hurt his calf.
“Josh has been ticked off (to return) and we were hoping he might have been able to play reserve grade last Saturday but the physios wanted to be conservative.
“He will now get a full week’s training into him and then play reserve grade on the weekend. Once he has done that he will be ready to be considered for round three. He will train fully (on Tuesday) and then we will get it going.”

10001 points scored this round. That's just a touch higher than the 2023 average of 9983 (in non-origin rounds)
$141million worth of talent took the field though, which I think is the most valuable round ever
That gives a MN of 14163, which is probably a touch on the high side, but using 14000 for the calcs for now
New year, new speadsheet, if you notice anything weird please let me know, as could have something left over from previous seasons

Holy crap! If I do 2 trades this round, and cut my losses on JMK. Lenny > May (Middle variety), and JMK > Cheese. I will have 5, count em, 5 Roosters.

That's fine dude, if you feel like I'm being too harsh you can call me out. If you want a little rant that's fine too, I could be seen as annoying (don't see it myself)..
Honestly I do want you to do well.......just not as well as me

Damn I’m 5k off doing both Tatola to May and Marriner to Turbo.
Which should I prioritize?
TU: Tatola to May
TD: Marriner to Turbo
Or are neither a priority at this stage?
