[quote="danseels1985"]Hey everyone,long time reader and first time poster.
What does everyone think of this lineup:

McInnes Brailey
JWH Gurgess P. Kaufasi Cherrington
Mannering JDB Buhrer Taylor SironenCapewell
A. Reynolds Lamb Elgey Field
Whare S.Mat Idris Lawton
RTS Hayne T.Turbo Ponga Phythian[/quote

Welcome mate. Solid team but if you are going without Smith I'd prefer to have Fifita in there. He's the only player that can match Smith.

^^^
Who are you planning on captaining? Idris should score well enough to play in your 17 allowing you to downgrade Whare for extra cash.

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

I was looking at RCG for similar reasons but have feeling will just be meh. What are your thoughts on Soli at the price?

bit of a logjam for minutes in the forwards at the raiders i reckon.

RCG could see a bump up in mins? Three top props would be Tamou, RCG, and Latu. It would look to me as if Moses Leota (cheapie) may get the final bench spot but you wouldn't expect him to get any decent mins.

Whats the panthers pack stack up like?
Tamou, Wallace, RCG, Yeo, Cartright, Merrin RES: Rein, Latu, JFH (think he may have a minor injury?), Leota/Akauola/Browne? Also assuming Peachey stays in the centres.

jeez, RCG misses alot of tackles.

Leota on the radar for sure

Thanks for the input everyone,I was thinking of using JDB as captain. Should I downgrade buhrer and whare to squeeze Fifita in? I generally like having a strong second row and I am unsure about idris even though his stocks will rise hence having whare in there. Unnecessary?

You know the guy in your draft league isn't paying attention when his automatic pick is Drew Hutchison.

Are people starting to come around to Sironen as a Fantasy option? I mean I have him in my team now despite the fact Nathan Green got me last year. Coen Hess, Jarrad Kennedy and maybe Jai Arrow if he got the minutes are the only other worthwhile 2RF options under 300k I can see (Already got Wallace) and Sironen is the only one that seems to be locked in regarding his minutes.

I'm waiting in anticipation  for my L7 league code

I'm also quietly hoping for a wildcard entry to the elite League from @Random (just in case you're a team short)

Started from scratch and tried to bring in players unlikely to play SOO. Just because.

Whilst there is obvious weakness. CTW mostly, Its not the worst team I've put together. I think Farah will be fairly solid.

Disclaimer: some of these players are 100% playing SOO but I couldn't go past.

Farah, Brailey
Jbrom, Fifita, DSaifiti, Jo Of
Harris, Gallen, ET, Smat, Sironen
Cronk,Elgey, Hingano, Field
Talakai, Idris, Kelly, Cotric
RTS, Hayne,Guth

I read this team out loud and felt instant shame.

I apologise for wasting everyone's time.

Carry on.

I think it looks pretty solid mate. No time wasting here

Is Hayne a chance of playing SOO this year if he has a blinder to start the year?
