I like Curran and am not too fussed on position as they'll be 13-17

I don't know if this is good or bad for you but I am selling this week for similar reasons and a Lussick/cheese owner
Might grab JBrailey soon too if he has a nice recovery and drops in price playing off the bench for a few weeks too

Edited for getting the wrong brother from the same mother

I started with Robson but getting Lussick too.

Ando wrote:Am I being stupid considering Cook > Lussick... Trying to completely ignore last weeks scores as part of my thought process but instead seeing it as an opportunity to strengthen my 14-17. Across this week and next week.

I would have started with Lussick over Cook if there had been no Hands on the bench RD1.

TU: Shut up idiot
TD: I like it

In my 18-21.  Luki & Wong bigger priorities.

Yeah ill have a tinker but it's probably the safe bet. I just feel better going after someone who has a higher ceiling, like koro or teddy mentioned before. Lussick seems pretty vanilla

It's possible to loop players from the same guy if you DNP is in your starting 13. I managed this last week using Cotric at CTR to choose either Strange or Levi's scores. PM me if you want me to take a look.

Jeez you got me stumped on this one.

So Cotric was at CTR and then I assume you had Levi over Strange at 18 & 19. So you get the Strange score, even though Levi is above him. But if Levi scored better, how would you have got Levi's score? I only see it possible if you have another CTR to loop in Cotric's position? And then you'd have Cotric in your 14-17.

Haha, I'm sure I'm missing something but I've found myself hung up on this post trying to figure it out.

Probably depends what you do with the money but I like it. Lussick probably averages 5-10 points less but gives you 200k+ to play with. Most people if they had 200k spare right now do something like Hutch > Terry May, who covers that 10 point gap comfortably and will increase in value. In most cases I’d say it’s worth it

EDG: Wong
CTR: Cotric (DNP)
#14: Brbo
#18: Levi
#19: Strange

With this set up Brbo would go into CTR and Levi into 17.

However after the Raiders game and Strange outscoring Levi I swapped Brbo and Wong. This then meant Strange was the only CTR on my bench and his score looped into Cotric's spot.

Very dirty indeed

That is impressive. Well played.

The more people who take it "serious" and join groups like this, the discords, the YT channels etc, the more teams will become similar.

Most people don't play the game that seriously, and so you get more variation because it's just fans fucking around having fun picking players they like etc. But as with most games, you'll have a subgroup of sweats who find the meta and stick to it.

It can feel like people who take it as serious as people do on here is the norm, but it isn't. But finding your way to the meta think tank has never been easier. I'm sure many of us found this place years ago when their wasn't many places to look. But now again multiple big Facebook groups, discords, YouTubes, you don't need to look hard to find your way to the same answers everyone has.

There's still people though, like I have a workmate who just plays in a comp with his family. He loves it, but he sucks. In his family comp he goes alright, but they're completely different types of players just trying to have fun. I'll be like why the fuck don't you have Cleary "because he's a cunt", wtf do you have DWZ "up the Wahs" etc lol.

We had a mate join our long running comp a couple of years ago. He's a good mate but we were a little apprehensive because we've ran that comp a long time and everyone is strong, lots of really good finishes etc but we were like alright jump in. Check out his team expecting it'll be horrible and was instantly like wtf how did you figure this out "watched some videos".

But yes draft is the solution if you're wanting that type of experience.

Want to make sure they are going to be a winning side against a team like the dragons before punting a trade into another of their forwards. Hopefully good for cotter.

Nothing has changed for Galvin. He’s a trade (in)

I know he’s a PPM cash grab but I’m surprised people going equally hard on May. Roosters still to add Crichton, and Watson into their rotation. Butcher now in both Watson and Crichton capable in the middle not just Hooker or Edge respectively. Remains on minutes watch for me.

Lussick looks boring but a trade with Hands finally gone.

Hosking is an avoid for new suitors and potentially only two more weeks for those clever enough to start with him. Get his cash and flip him up to Hopgood
