STILL NEED TEAMS FOR THE RD1 ONLY SUPERCOACH LEAGUE.

Win $500 for 1 week. Jump in the thread and we can discuss our strategy

I think I'm going to go Fogerty purely based on his DPP and I really don't think Field is a footballer. He's not ready for first grade and is going to get thrown in too early and it'll ruin him ala Jordan Rankin.

oh yeah just got home.

Isaac De Gois Concussion Indefinite https://www.zerotackle.com/rugby-league/injuries-suspensions/

not sure what that means, but concussion doesnt sound as serious as broken kneecap. wish he wasnt injured so we could know pritchards minutes for sure...

jdb's stock just went up with 17th man field.
hopefully greenwood shrinks in value before starting.
mitch rein no.20? wallace might be underpriced. not touching him though

The fuck? Do they just pick and choose now whether they want to follow the rules or not now? If you make everyone else a DPP if they're named there in Round 1 you do it for everyone or nobody at all. Wallace was given 2RF based on a trial game but they're just changing their minds now because reasons

like what they did for starting prices for Slater, Ballin and Whare (and to a lesser extent croft, hutchinson and R Smith. Make up the rules as they please

With all the dud cows in the forwards I'm sorely tempted to go Pritchard and Brailey and just stack the rest of my team.
The stupid bloody nrlff leagues mean I have to think rationally though

On the plus side it looks like someone there actually knows that Whitehead isn't a centre which means they've actually employed someone who follows the game for a change

I might go the Fog & Field combo !

Pritchard and Brailey ? Ru alright son ?

People scared he'll shiv them?

His average from last year is surely impacted on the time he spent in the centres. Now that hole has been plugged he should be playing exclusively in the forward pack?? Scored well in the pack from memory?

It would mean I don't get stuck with the dud cows that are on offer in the forwards. Trade Brailey to McInnes rd12 and I've got 2 bye friendly hookers. It just comes down to how many points I could make up in the forwards.

The thing is though he's named to played centre, they're black and white rules. I'm not going to crack the shits either way but if someone is named there they should get it.

Fifita/McGuire v Graham/Bromwich
Points potential vs byes and trades

Gurgess potentially missing round 1 has fucked my entire squad lineup.

Please choose which option you like:
K. Pritchard or Brailey &
K-Brom or Bateman or Soliola

Thanks.

Cheapie and KBrom WL.

Im really hoping we can get some solid info on where hes at before kick off. Is it just fitness or is there more to it? Hard to tell if he'll be starting by round 2?? I feel like he will slip into the 17 for this round... but will he continue to be troubled by injury (if that is why hes named at 20?).

I dont want to re-arrange my squad because of gurgess. Might go Vete...

Only just realised I can swap McInnes/Elgey to Brailey/Pearce giving me two gun halves, and the 4th reserve option of either Brailey or Lamb.

Don't mind the look of that at all.

Pretty happy with those team lists. Expected most of that and happy Ricky didn't name the 21 players in alphabetical order. That will come later in the season I'm guessing. In the 22, it's interesting to see ballin not even named as an outside chance. I wonder if that means he's a decent chance of missing next week also.

Musgrove had to start to be in my team. I thought he was no chance but it seems the Souths forums were correct.

They might give Whitehead DPP after the Final teamlist an hour before the game

Here's my team with 65kitb. Thoughts:

Smith (Brailey)
Fifita, Musgrove, F. Kaufusi, Matagi
Surgess, Mannering, Sione, K-Brom, Sironen (Yates)
SJ, TMM (Elgey, Hingano)
Talakai, Idris (Moga, B. Kelly)
Gutherson, RTS, Hayne (Phythian, Cotric)

I'm anticipating Cotric getting dpp. Still looking at upgrading Guth to T-Trbo. I've got Elgey in my npr's but might start him over 1 of my props maybe Matagi. Thoughts & thanks.
