I'm doubting JWH. Thinking about saving the coin and going Priest or Musgrove and keep 200K in the bank. Or then upgrade Stimpson to Winterstein or even DSaifiti to JGraham.

Best option from a bad side but falls in that really ugly price bracket of non gun and hoping you get what you pay for, which is quite a lot

You don't think he can improve on his average? likes to tackle everything that moves and will play 80 runs a good line

Not recommending this, but I went Bolton. His 4 starting games last year averaged 41/42 from memory, but priced at 34 due to his bench role. Just something different. I will be wrapped if he averages 40.

No No No No No, you will end up like Homer and his Crayon.

Yes, he was impressive, and definitely has extra minutes in him already. The Taga correlation Milchy has pointed out a few times kept me away. I won't be considering him but yeah, he looked keen as fuck last night.

Thanks, so at this stage you would stick with Prior if you had him and see what happens. At least we know its only a three forward bench for a little while still. Kind of think Daniel Saifiti will go better due to tackle breaking ability.

Surely the pattern means something. I expect a big year from JWH.

Priest and Musgrove don't have good job security.

I remember exactly where I was 2 seasons ago when I spent half the day tossing up between Tofu or 50k more expensive Buhrer. Went with Buhrer. Tofu went nuts 2 tries +80 and Buhrer got injured next game I think. Never again

For what its worth Gurgess and Musgrove were my starting props until Gurgess wasnt an option, He is a talented kid and I am glad we have him locked up just my 2.5 cents worth.

Interesting but Fensom looming is a worry.

I keep thinking about upgrading DSaifiti just so my team looks better but his last 3 average was 51 and I really want to take a punt on him.

As a Bunny supporter would love to see Musgrove keep the spot and do well, but he's that awkward price and Gurgess surely wants his sport back.

Any Raiders supporters give any insight on Priest?

Do you think he will keep his spot if he stays fit?

From memory last year quite a lot of forwards took a while to get going last year (especially middle forwards) and only forwards playing 60+ minutes made any serious money. Hoping my second row picks at least play 60 minutes or they will be duds.

Parker, Merrin, JDB all posted low scores in first few rounds last year then went big.

Priest has a shocking ppm from memory and won't score that well.

I am sure he will, however over a 26 round comp. I am also sure Madge will rotate his squad to keep them fresh and keen as does Bennett , Bellyache etc

It is why I opted for TPG, have to ride highs and lows.

It's a silly name but it does sound an awful lot like Bueller.

Priest is also likely to lose his spot next week when Junior Paulo comes back from suspension

Forgot about that. Back to the drawing board. Might take a punt on Musgrove.

Frank Pritchard anyone?

Then Dave Taylor

Will you though? 6 points higher than what he is priced at is not really value.
