Please read thread 1-6

welcome back!

Hehe I'm on it!

I think the most pressing question is:

Who are the rookies you will still buy if not named in TLT?

Jack Bird, Latrell Mitchell, Coote and lesser degree Barba spring to mind as a few from the last couple of years who ended up a transfer for most people and those who had them benched despite not being in the first week were sitting pretty. 2-3 saved transfers that early is gold.

Fwiw I quite like the 2 Jais. Field and Arrow.

under $300k for an 80 minute backrower with dual CTR not named Curtis Sironen? What's not to like

Not for me. Prob got this one wrong, but I'm looking for premium quality as soon as it gets into the 300+ range. I know completely different position but for example Gurgess and Boyd both better use of that sort of budget.

Scott. Maybe young Papalii from the Warriors.

I just don't see Scott being picked unless there is injury. Surely Blair and Chambers are locked in.

Do you mean Shannon Boyd?
What is his upside?

I'm predicting a breakout year for big Shannon. He looks fitter, leaner and meaner than I've ever seen him and Paul Vaughan moving on really means he has to step up and be the top big man. I think he's well up for it and think we're in for a good year

Hey fellas,

I know you're probably sick of these types of posts but would like your advice or input on these two options to finalize my team (barring TLT)

1.McGuire & Hoare vs Gurgess & Wallace (both in the 17). Also,
2.Teddy vs McInnes.

Thanks in advance and keep up the good work, cheers.

There hasn't been much talk about him here on the forum, but I will keep an eye on him

1. Gurgess & Wallace - I think there is more potential for increase

2. McInnes has more upside looking at player vs player , but I would pick Teddy if you need a strong 3rd WFB in your team

EMCCE9N4

2 more spots people

Cheers Chewie,

One more thing, is there anyway i can change my stupid user name. Was heavy on the drink when i joined and thought it was funny at the time.
(I have poor judgement after a few).

1. I'd say Gurgess & Wallace for no other reason than I think they will do better and are more likely to increase.

2. I've had the same conundrum since Peats got injured. I'm currently rocking McInnes, but it depends on your other WFBs (RTS/Hayne?)

PM @SI or @Random and they'll fix it.

Yeah mate, RTS/Hayne/Python and Ponga. Thinking McInnes will out score Teddy but I need to strengthen my WFB's because I don't want to run with Slater/Uate etc. Fantasy conundrums...

Who are you going to have at hooker if not McInnes?

Had planned on having CS9 and a cheapie, (most likely Bailey). So I guess it comes down to starting Python & McInnes or have Teddy and Bailey as a NPR.

I would go with Teddy if Pythagoras is your 3rd WFB
