I am saying Siro with more room to improve.

Yeah 5% good, the rest.....blah

how much are Sironen and Frankentein expected to average? Currently running Siro in my reserves, but just think he will only average 5 more than frankenstein so might bank the money.

damn this storm 17 doesnt have a utility at the moment which is bad news for kbrom faufusi owners. the best scenario is jacks into the team young t into 17th man.. makes things harder to forecast for sure

I hope not as I have them all.
Great looking team.

More info re Tigers, Littlejohn looks like being retained on the bench and is likely to provide some hooker coverage

Much cap space left?

For a team, with no Smith/Fifita and Brailey as 2nd hooker, i would have expected a little stronger

About 70k

Fantasy website starting to shit itself for me.

If teams make any changes to the 17 even during the cut to 19 then again at the cut to 17 they should still have to justify those to the NRL i believe. Croft was named at 17 but is in the first cut, defeats what the NRL is trying to do. The fact everyone playing fantasy knows Jack is going to play 6 and Munster 1 yet they are able to get away with not naming that change at the 19 cut is stupid too

I think Sironen has much better job security.
I can't believe I actually said that.
