This.

The possibility of being in L1 and Fantasy Fanatics L1 Elite next year vs League 4-5.

I'll have to report you to my L5 commissioner Random for that comment mate

Waqa Blake scored 5 tries in the last 5 rounds. And only 2 tries in his first 15 games.

I am not sure that is sustainable form

I think they will score points are certainty top 8 team, maybe top 4 and have good fixtures

I think cleary is a ridiculous price and Cartwright tricky to own this year too so had to look elsewhere for panther points.

It's him or Hiku for mine. Hiku has a good fantasy pedigree from his averages at manly but leaning Waqa

And you can have the knights and tigers... I think with th dragons they are bottom 3 clubs so 5 in 5 games doesn't scare me too much. Not YOU personally but I would say template centre pairing at this stage is SMat and Idris and I fear for those sides getting any/many attacking points at all.

Smat I understand more now I see how bad the knights squad is. He is hard to argue with as a DPP.
Idris I would ideally like on my bench as pure money maker. I expect Talakai will outscore him starting in round 1 in their match up.

the 150-299k price bracket so tough per usual

Where does Blake fit in when everyone is fit? Mansour, DWZ, Hiku, Whare, Peachey, Blake. Peachey probably goes back to the bench? I guess Mansour is a long way off and Blake is probably fairly secure in their backline now anyway. Is it a worry?

Frustrating that Holmes and Hayne are in doubt for round 1... I guess Guth and Turbo ownership will go up

I might get Fogarty for his DPP, and the chance that he might appear at some point during the year.

If Field gets named probably just go with him though

Yeah Fogarty is one i am thinking of. I know some say dead spot, but at the same time id like to try and avoid a couple of the no doubt dead spots from the unknown 138k preseason lot.

A legit non player with a dpp is valuable i reckon.

Blake is 279k, no chump change. Lets get on it and see his ownership go to 25% !

Hypothetical question for TLT. If Brodie Croft is named tomorrow, would it be worth shifting my team around a little to accommodate him? Because my HLF's right now are Moses, Elgey, Lamb and a NPR.
If I swapped Sironen for F Winterstein I'd be 1k short of Croft but if I did some work I could include him. Worth the shifting and some potential dud 2RF/FRF cash cows (Not like Sironen is a surefire winner either but has room to downgrade at least) so I can get a better HLF money maker in?

Nothing justifies getting Winterstein

How much did the dragons pay to keep Luciano ?

Not really. Made his way into the side eventually and he surprised if fitness of others will be the deciding factor of his longevity. Expect him to take his chance in DWZ absence, not sure whare will do the same

Plus they've had about 14 Jennings' leave the club so no rising star challengers that know of

At rock bottom price, agreed.

and also Braidon Burns.

Long time lurker, first time posting. I've seen a lot of people going for Lamb this year. Any chance of Hodgkinson improving this year? He seems to have had a dodgy knee last year so didn't do much in play kicking. I wouldn't have thought they would have made him captain if they didn't think there was some improvement in him.

'Twas the night before Team List Tuesday, when all through the house
Not a league fan was stirring, not even a mouse
The lists were all brainstormed and researched with care,
In hopes that Mitchell Pearce, would be laying off the beer

The fanatics were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of 51 parties still stuck in their head
And Calculations were done to stay under the cap,
Looking at figures, no time to fap

When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.
Away to the window I flew like a flash,
Tore open the shutters, and threw up the sash.

Too see a large Wookie, a panda, a rabbit
A broken tv even SI dang nabbit
So what else to do on such a glorius night
But to remake my team and get ready to fight

Good man. Welcome to the mad house!

I too am interested in your questions. Hodko is on a Long list of former half rookies that hold a special place with me, none more so than ARey and DCE

I'm playing Stockwell. Was tossing up between him and Wallace but made my mind up on him

@Boozecluez

The fantasy coach feature where you can turn on projected scores... would be good if there was a button to turn on BEs instead. Don't really care what the algo thinks R Jennings will score but do care what Talakai's BE is
