Excellent (Mr Burns voice)

I'm running with The Peach. Excited to watch him cut loose.

Random wrote:^ Oh I agree based of the WCC it would look like McGuire will be resting McCullough. Although, Nikorima is likely to be on the bench isn't he? He returned in the trials and impressed from reports.

Could be different week to week. May not want a bench utility against the sharks as there will be a lot of defence

ET was a lock for me earlier, but not so keen now. Variable minutes/concussions/unpredictable PPM not doing it for me.

Sounds like you are over thinking it SI.

That moment when you are 2k off the team you want...

He's definitely not as straightforward if Fensom is going to be an 80min player at the cowboys but that will take some time

Got a 143 nuffie who could become a 138 nuffie?

Just gamble Lane instead of Siro. Job done

If Oates goes to 2nd row (seems unlikely to me) im guessing Thaiday is going back to frontrow (off the bench again)

Seems likely Mead has been dropped and kills Kahu's value

Kahu was rubbish regardless. 3 goals in WCC for 13pts if fantasy scored

Kodi Nikorima is returning from injury isn't he?
I'd expect him to make the Broncos bench eventually

Up to you which way you go, im personally off Surgess and prefer Gallen. I just think one of those backs plus Buhrer will score more and make more money then having to play Uate in your top 13

it had to be Gallen or I would have been 10k short for Buhrer & Holmes

So looks as though we may get a few cash cows in the centres and at Fullback/Wing.

Suli - outside Idris on the wing may not see the ball? Not sure I will grab him with the tough Tigers start.
Cotric - I personally think will go well, break tackles and looks the goods at centre or wing, would prefer if named wing (gets DPP) first game but moved to centre during game.
Python - at fullback, is normally a higher scoring position than wing, so would probably have to choose him. Although Feeney puts doubts in my mind, and Gagai scored far worse at fullback than centre.

Moga - apparently will be named in the centres.
Scott - in with a chance against Blair for left centre spot
B Kelly - in with a chance for left centre spot, has the goods I reckon and should score well. How many Manly players is too many in your team. I have had Jurbo, Sironen, AFB, DCE, Walker, Turbo, Kelly, Uate etc in my team at one stage during pre season. Thinking Turbo is an underpriced fullback gun in the same mould as Teddy. Walker also has picked up goal kicking and back to centre fulltime where he normally averages close to 40. This could push to an average of 43-45 with kicking and manly playing better.
Idris - centre with 40 average pedigree for 3 years. Will make money.

Do you take all these guys and stack the forward pack. Or put guys like Turbo, Gagai, Walker in your team alongside RTS and Hayne to the detriment of forward guns?

Which cash cow centre/fullbacks do you think score the most?

Karl Lawton ....smokey to be the 2nd hooker at the Titans while peats is out


Ctr at $143k

Take them all

Money to be made take the opportunity,

If they get replaced just have a plan for what to do ie, move smart back to centre, move tturbo to wfb. Etc

What's he going to do? Play 20 mins a game and be dead wood in your team

If he played on the edge every week he'd be straight in my team

Gagai or Dylan Walker. Could both average over 40 this year.

Knights play Warriors (Kata), Titans (not Hurrell), Souths (Goodwin), Penrith (Peachey), Sharks (Leutele), Raiders (possibly Crokers first game back), Roosters (Latrel). Thinking Gagai could go well, but Walker has gained goal kicking.

Would much rather take an 80 minute centre. Think Slade Griffin last year (available at centre), he got 1 game for 45 mins scoring 28 points. Lawton would be lucky to get 25 minutes and score 15 points.

Yeah i was planning on starting with turbo or walker but all these cheap centres makes it tempting to run with 4 cash cow centres and stack the forwards.
Having one gun centre could be a good POD though

Nah because all the 138k nuffies for that position are shit.
