Happens to fit exactly in my cap in current team...basically him or Tommy Trbo. Surely GI is a more secure scorer, with Souths also having plenty of room to improve on attack too? Downside, terrible byes.

plays twice between 12 and 18. No go for me mate

1) Brailey (35)/TTrbo (45) /Tedesco (50)
2) Mcinnes (55) /Holmes (35) /Kromwich (moving SMat into CTR) (40)

Decisions, and dependent on roles/TLT

Wow Pookus, that's almost a copy of my squad... I've got 13/17

no rookie half either and the standard RTS/Hayne with with Holmes/French.

I'm happy until TLT

yep. agreed. I've been set up this way for a couple of weeks without fiddling with much other than the likely NPRs. (aside from monday morning i toyed with the idea of running brailey).

My biggest worry is having to run with Elgey as a 4th reserve. But to be honest you've gotta take a risk somewhere. I don't like most of the mid price frf/2rf options.

Johnny B Goode wrote:Regarding Elijah Taylor what's the pre-season talk been around him? Is he expected to become a real leader of the Tigers pack this year/play bigger minutes? Because I looked at his average last year playing 70+ minutes or very close to it and he averaged 53.3 on base stats not including the occasional linebreak/try/assist.  

If he's tipped to play big minutes and the Tigers now have the benefit of having a whole pre-season to work on incorporating ET's ball playing skills into their game plan then he could become an appealing option. The more I think about it the more I feel like he's got to be in my team but just wondering if there's any risks I'm not seeing.

Yeah theres an article with a bunch of ET quotes where he says he is basically going to be the linchpin of the Tigers attack. It probably means alot of link man stuff, passing before the line to get it out to the halves, etc (so no real fantasy impact), but at very least, more ball in hand will hopefully mean more opportunity for points whether he just takes a run into the line or finds an offload. He basically says how he's excited to 'play more footy'. His passing game is actually very slick i wouldn't be surprised if he puts the odd 2nd rower through a hole/etc.

The man went out onto the field and ran extra laps after their trial finished the other night. Ultimate pro. Man crush stuff

My team after a lot of back and forth.

Also, great to be part of L2, the party league!

Also, random question - there is no way to see your team from last year anymore, is there?

Couple of nice POD's in there. I'm leaning more and more towards JWH too. Could be undervalued.

L2 is the Fantasy equivalent of a Page 51 party.

I don't see how this is possible without the presence of some of the main page 51 party attendees

I don't think so, only rankings it seems. I should have taken a screen shot of my team last year.

Should be able to though, that's silly.

yeah I'm sure I had but I can't find it. Reckon there are some lessons to be learnt by re-assessing last years initial team and subsequent trades.

Absolutely. I would love to go back through my year week by week too.

i remember this being available last year, and laughing at my starting line up. im not 100% but i think they took it away for no reason..
it also lets you estimate other things like, number of cash cows in the year and injuries, so you can plan a strategy around trades.. and learn from mistakes.

Perhaps that took features like this away to try and get more people to sign up and pay for the Coach thingy.

Oh no! Feeney is out for a month. Major team changes ahead

Has @GreenMachine been sighted yet?

Always like reading his input as a fellow proponent of the Guns n Rookies system haha

Bit spooked after last years result but a few drafts stacked with mid rangers just didn't feel right


I'm here boys, ready to bounce back from my >5k horrific finish and challenge all people with sione matautia in their team with my squad of 9 guns

Thoughts in the following if named in 17
