I have now! Wasn't sure about it to start with but builds nicely.

I thought the same at the start I didn't like it but it picks up nicely!

He will play origin.

It's amazing when you think of it how long Smith has been the benchmark for Fantasy - so many other "gods" have come and gone, but Cam stands atop to pantheon.

Outstanding career in fantasy and real life

his consistency is unparralled

in fantasy he just has so many ways to score so his floor is high and ceiling is maaahooosive

I'm keen on both of the first options this year. Don't see much use in Uate/Sio and if ARey happens to get selected for SOO? Bad for bye rounds. (Think him and Pearce might be a handy combination in SOO)

maloney will play SOO surely?

The logistics of how much fitting him in without completely destroying my team is another matter entirely.
This twin-Cam deal is hard :/

Yep, running the Twin Cam definitely poses a challenge

I'm starting with Offa I think he'll be able to score between 30 and 35 now he'll have to step up

I made it into League 2? Rarefied heights I am in now.

I mean, I am Running Mannah people, Tim Fucking Mannah!
Who, in contrast to my comedic reaction, I am surprised nobody else seems to be talking about. Though I think maybe Milchow mentioned something three threads back. Breakeven of 35, but almost guaranteed to get you 40+- not a great increase but a base to upgrade from, who plays all the big byes. Only drawback is injury-prone. POD status through the roof. Because, it's Tim Mannah, right? Still a good buy IMO, just not one to have ahead of Gurgess etc.

Pookus McFly wrote:Yeah I think McInnes is rare amongst the guns in that I think he will get great scores and still make up to 100k. Since the shield I have seen him as a must-have. But I still cannot ditch Smith. They say to trust your gut, and every time I try to take him out I just about faint before I can even play with my combos. So I have arrived at twin-Cam. But damn does it make the rest of your team stink.

I tried running Twin-cam but spending $1.1Mil on one position made my squad incredibly top heavy. Not to mention the risk that Havili could sneak onto the bench come round 2 or 3 and steal his minutes.

Lost of fun, not much substance???

McInnes avg when playing 60+ minutes is 60. Will Havilli take more than 20 minutes off him? I don't think so

People say top heavy but just look at points potential

can you find a better combo for Smith for ~$480k that provides the same points potential that Mcinnes offers? Doesn't have to be a hooker

Are people not worried that Mcinnes is in a new team? Didn't he always score bulk tries in his stint? With Mary facing the sack from day dot it concerns me. I think he loses money and his ownership goes down a qtr by round 6

hah that was just a test gif for when I am round for the 51 party. Is there instructions anywhere? I don't want to turn up to the party without my party pants.

Do not do that.

4 tries in 19 games.

People will talk about the day for a long time.
Where were you when McInnes evolved from regular gun to supergun?
Don't you want to be able to tell your kids one day, that you were right there with McInnes?
...They will probably think you are a loser when they hear you missed out on Ryan James in 2016.

Edit: On the other hand its always hard to look at these things in a vacuum when they aren't priced the same. That extra cash might give you an upgrade in another position that's even better. I'd make the team with TTurbo and then look at whether or not you could get a better upgrade with that cash on any of the other guys you have picked.

FMD. You've got floors and vacuums. Only thing missing is a sandwich

Are all the league codes up yet or just a couple? I mean, I don't wanna be missing out guys! I miss the parties all the time as it is, can't miss the fucking prom!
