    James graham could be a pod , havent seen him mentioned at all and non origin player, aaron woods would make a great pod if jason taylor gave him back bigger minutes when he used to score 60

    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. (or youre just foregoing a gun somewhere)

    Well yes, if you want to start with Smith, Fifita, JDB, Mannering and Surgess then you have to pay the price for it.

    The problem with that route is if your cheapies don't make money, you'll find it hard to upgrade the rest of your team and end up with a weaker team for the run home.

    Tough decision to make, if I want a team full of money makers including NPRs I have to go McInnes - Macca to generate the cash.

    I don't like the fact that the Broncos didn't drop Mead and Nikorima out last night instead opting of Fai and Ofa. I can see Bennett pulling a fast one and throwing Niko on the bench at the last minute

    When do the teams announce the 2 players to drop off their 21? Will the tigers announcement come before the Broncos game tonight?

    Woods played more minutes last year than in 2015

    And he has never averaged 60. He has averaged under 50 the last 3 years (2015 he was set average low 50s until he got injured in the last couple rounds)

    There might be a bit of value in him, but I wouldn't expect him to hit 60s regularly

    Only a matter of time before KNiki comes in anyway, just have to hope with no Parker that Macca becomes the guy needed to lead the pack around and get his 80 minutes back

    Think I'm sticking with Surgess>Mcguire and keeping Sironen and Lamb. 162k itb could come in handy in a weeks time running with Brailey

    Since I'm afraid I won't make any money I've changed my team slightly. Reserves feel better too.

    Need some sleep before the big game, feel free to let me know what you think.

    Smith, Macca*
    Fifita, Vaughan, DSaifiti*, Kaufusi*
    McGuire, ET, SMat, Sironen*, Yates, Stone
    Moses, Lamb, Elgey, Jacks
    Idris, Cotric, Kelly, Suli
    Turbo, RTS, Hayne, Pythian, Dufty

    surely there's a good spread of points and money making potential there

    That sucks - I was hoping to see if Suli dropped off the Tigers list before Moga played.
