I concur with these sentiments.

The $143k cash cow forwards could all forseeably make crap all between them. They'll get no game time and scores of 10-20.

And if you don't have guys making cash your initial team will need to be spot on inn every position or you'll fall behind

how do you avoid it though?

theres six bench positions from hok to 2rf, even if you're stacked up top with reserves you still have to have 2 x cheapies in there. The only other way to do it would be to spend $$$ on NPRs and have maybe frank winterstein and kaufusi (as NPRs) but then the rest of your squad would be weakened.

had his stats alongside Corey Parker, Parker played a few extra minutes at lock over McGuire playing prop last year

McGuire already made more tackles and had more RM than Parker....He also made less errors

I just cannot see where the extra points come from for him to become elite or even score more than he did last year

This is the way I'm going. Make a few sacrifices in the starting team so that you can compete later in the year. If you only have 4 cash cows making 100k your 7.5 million salary cap isn't going to compete with the teams that hit 8 million before origin and can grab an extra gun for the run home. The 20 points a week you miss out on now is going to be offset by the extra 50 points a week you make during byes/after origin

Do we expect Talakai to score better?

risk/reward i guess.

Foregoing a gun by making him a midranger (so you can afford the cash on NPRs) might mean on average 25 points less per week. In 10 weeks before origin that is 250 points behind just on one playing position.
