Looks like the Roosters trial is a members only stream so will try to get hold of the link

Croker update: dislocated knee cap, six weeks

If there are some decent rookies named in the backs, i'll probably be going super light in the WFB and CTR positions:

Smith, King
Fifita, McGuire, Daifiti, Gurgess
Surgess, kromwich, SMat, Hess, Capewell, Gray
Norman, Thurston, Lamb, Hingano
Idris, Kelly, Olive, Scott
RTS, Hayne, Rennings, Ponga, Phythian

(McGuire would effectively be in 2RF)

Hey can you more technically advanced folk help a man out. So with the storm v warriors game I have found the site to stream it live but will I need to download anything else to allow it to play with no issues?? (new laptop) thanks guys. Hoping it's just click and play.
Also I'm assuming it will be free?

People running with King, what is your end game? Ideally He would make some money and you could then jump on Segeyaro if he is allowed back. But if that doesn't happen, do you cash him out and hope for another cow, keep him for byes, or try to upgrde him to a keeper?

I'm 90% not running with King but if I was I would start Smith/King, trade out Smith to a bye friendly hooker for the byes(where he misses 4/8 games) then trade King to Smith after the byes

If I start with King, depends what sort of scores he gets.

If he's scoring 40+ then keep him for byes before upgrading to the best/most affordable hooker for the run home.
Otherwise upgrade him once he's maxxed out (this would likely involve downgrading elsewhere to fund the difference)

parra have no byes until 16. so you will either want to keep him until then, or cash him out for another bye friendly player. he could be a stepping stone to farah who fits the bill. or maybe even jump to friend after round 12 who has good byes afterwards. just need a 300-500k price rise.

Is King not danger of being Scott Moore Mk II?

I'd put money on him getting injured within the first 10 games.

He certainly is. 

Some people (myself included) are tempted by him anyway

I thought you were a smart cow.

Should be click and play but a few of us had problems last week with the trial that was streamed.

Thanks Sl yeah I had to get updates via Twitter for sharkies trial.
Cheers man

Thanks for the replies guys. I know the risks but am still tempted. Could just be because until TLT we won't exactly know where the value is. If not many cheapies show up I just want to have a plan for King. Also I wasn't playing fantasy when Moore was around. I guess a lot of you guys got burned badly. But the lesson maybe not that cheap hookers are bad, but just that Scott Moore is bad. Anyway thanks, going to see if I can watch the Storm now and Cowboys later

Anyone else having issue with the steam stopping?? Grrr technology is a bastard

Storm vs Warriors stream keeps cutting out FFS.

yep me too
