Grab Dufty if ur ok with a non selected guy to start off with. Huge talent

Was thinking Tim Simona, both are going places

Vaughan, Tedesco, Elgey

Vs

McGuire, Crotic, Thurston.

Option 1 wins I think?

After what you have shown me you surely have to choose 1 haha

This Seggy shit is completely fucking with me. How many of you are considering changing your whole team now based on that and running with 2 gun hookers instead of Brailey?

The problem is, IMO, there's really no other decent enough option for that price. I know there is the other Cam, Hodgson and Macca etc. but I just don't trust them for their prices right now. Probably gonna roll the dice with Brailey

If you have any Sharks/Broncos players make sure you have them in your starting 13(don't play Brailey over Smith obviously). Leaves a bit more flexibility with reserves for tinkering to have them locked in as starters rather than taking up a reserve spot

Also remember your captain and vice captain are locked in. So if you aren't captaining someone playing tonight, make sure you are comfortable with whoever is captain (and consider using VC on someone tonight)

I am consdering captaining Gallen tonight, just to free up Smith in case I want to live on the edge and go without him to start the year.

Nobody is a bigger Paul Vaughan fan than me on these forums. He can break the line, offload and score tries. I really want him in my team, big talent.

Lies. I started the Paul Vaughan player appreciation society many moons ago

Threatened to captain him and almost predicted his week fantasy score with a wild stat line and was only off by a point or 2

Ok, so I've had a play. This is where my current head space is, thought I'd share cause its a bit different:
Guys marked with a * I don't really like.

Smith, Brailey
JWH, Vaughan, Musgrove, I.Papalii
Surgess, JDB, Kbrom*, Smat, Wallace, Yates
Baustin, LKelly, Elgey, Fogerty
TTrbo, Idris, Cotric, Kelly
Guth*, RTS, Hayne, Holmes, Phythian*

Playing around with the idea of dropping Guth, push Cotric/TTrbo to WFB and bring in Maubs.  Not sure what i can do with Kbrom as i don't like him but haven't figured that one out yet.

Edit: Ok, genuinely thinking of running with Bolton as a Kbrom replacement. I know this will team in general will be hated by most, but like i said, its a bit different.

Is Koroisau not going to play 80? Or is Lewis Brown going to sub him?

I'm just going to hold him. If things go too shit and Segeyaro swoops in immediately and makes him redundant (which I don't see happening) then I'll just have to bail out by trading out a Burgess or Fifita. Won't be ideal but that's what I'd be doing now anyway if I decided to not go with him.

I thought about Luke Kelly, would hope he an score like ARey for a few weeks

I reckon Koroisau will play big minutes

More concerned about Hastings coming into the team than Brown playing big hooking minutes off the bench

Koro averages 44 as an 80 minute hooker, priced at 39, so there is some value in him if your trust him to hold his spot.

Anyone else gone cold on JDB? thinking he might not get 80 minutes from the start and Gallen is a much safer pick. Would go with Mannering but no idea how Kearney uses him this year

Kelly averaged 35 back in 2015

Only played 1 game last year and scored 35.

Priced at 25. But he's a short term option and you know it.

All the Mannering doubt is making me a little nervous.

I'm actually looking at Cordner over JDB as a short term thing.

Even for 60-65 minutes JDB should still score good?

think i'm finally settled, but that probably means i'll still spend the weekend chopping and changing, at the moment i'm running with:

Smith (Brailey)
Lawrence Wallace Kaufusi (Papalii)
JDB Buhrer Bromwich S-Mat Sironen (Winterstein)
Cronk Moses Lamb (Elgey)
Walker Idris (Kelly Moga)
RTS Hayne Turbo (Phythim Cotric)

Yeah I know Milch, just looking at Lambs spot as place to use my last few thousands. TMM is an option but already have Peachey so could be risky

I like your idea of running two FRF who could be guns by the end of the year. YOLO

It has inspired me to take on the same idea, running with Vaughan and D Saifiti.

First team I've seen with Austin.

in a word no, his avg is well over 60 playing 60-65 minutes at lock, that won't change
