It would be a relief if that is true. The test site still says 34 trades, but I am not sure how much that is worth- parts say the cap is $7M and other parts still say $6.8M.
I'm not saying you're team is bad, just saying I don't like your CTR selections. Maybe they will get more gametime than I previously indicated, but this ugly hole had me so preoccupied that I didn't even notice you had all of Smith, Fifita, Surgess and Tedesco. That is how bad those centres are.

This is a moot point that we are arguing over the CTRs in a team that is way overbudget anyway. Why not just put TTrbo in there as well, go 700k overbudget and make me happy?

That and the fact that players want to play under Bennett. Maybe if your city was nicer your teams could do the same  (oh No he didn't!)

(a) ET (399k) - priced at av 42.1. I can't see much upside in him especially when Ballin goes down & he fills in at hooker.
(b) T-Trbo (391k) - priced at 41.3. At f/b could become a 50+ scorer & 2 home games to start season.
(c) Maloney (319k) - priced at 33.7. With Ennis gone he'll have to take on more responsibility in attack.

Thanks.

ET non injury effected avg whilst at the Tigers is around the 48 mark, which included some woeful stints at hooker, some value there....Did you know TTurbo avg at FB is infact....41.5 where he is priced, I may have run the numbers wrong though...his best fantasy avg happened when he actually played CTR. Plenty of reasons to believe TTurbo can better 41.5 with a full season at FB not playing on a bum ankle though

Thanks man
Just worried, he was told he had to gain weight and bulk up. He still looks as thin as a rake from photos I've seen. I hope he can withstand some BIG hits.
JAC seems a little hot headed and could get himself in trouble.

Brisbane is a shit hole. I lived there for over a year. The weather sucks, the people on large couldn't spell XXXX (not anyone here) no real beach is horrible. The casino is a joke, the Valley is one of the worst places I've ever seen. However Suncorp is the absolute best league ground in the world.
