Just a straight up beast.
No injuries affected their rotations. As a side note, Hess only came on with 23 mins left in the game, was a straight replacement for Lowe.

1) Wallace: Is his 69minutes (and 56 points) likely to be ongoing thing (there or there abouts?)
2) Elgey to Jacks? Someone posted before but any more thoughts on that one?
3) Suli: Is he a must have (trade in this week) if you are a Python owner?
EDIT:
my team is:
Cam, Brailey
McGuire, FKaufusi, PKaufusi, Leota
JDB, Surgess, Smat, KBrom, Sironen, Yates
Cleary, Norman, Maloney, Elgey
DWalker, BKelly, Talakai, Idris
RTS, Hayne, Cotric, Fogerty, Python
Trying to figure out if I should find ways to bring in Wallace and/or Suli....
If only you had a DPP centre I would have got rid of Maloney for Wallace. Other that I can't see anything pressing.
I've gone Python to Suli and Prior to Wallace (looking for low 40s in 55-60 minutes and hopefully won't need much cash to jump from Wallace to JBrom around week 5).
Good team, just need a bit of luck.

Pretty happy with that round one and I know it's only Monday but I am planning to sit tight on trades at this stage, barring injuries
My 17 in round 2 will be
Smith (McInnes)
Fifita, Kaufusi
Surgess, ET, Sironen, (SiMat, Yates)
Johnson, Lamb (Elgey)
Talakai, Suli
Tedesco, RTS, Hayne
bench: Ese'ese, I-Paps, MCK, Field, Idris, Cotric, Pythian, Kelly
Ended up on just under 800 and most importantly, beating Milchy by 1 point!
Slight concerns: ET and cashies outside my 17

So I kept 30k in the bank and it's still not enough to jump from Pythian to Moga. Did not expect to see that...

As already said, he is just a beast. He had 2 runs in extra time, one 10m and the other was a blockbusting 30m.Bullbender wrote:Didnt see cowboys game so was wondering if there were any exceptional circumstances behind Lolo running a crazy 290 metres besides being an absolute beast and a little bit of GP. Played 70 minutes im sure he was only a 40-50 minute player last year?? Is he the one filling the void of the frontrowers who have left. Hefty price but those run metres are hard to ignore

Sironen on the other hand is very affordable.
because of the multitude of high scoring centres, I decided to lay-off Hurrell so I could afford the Dsaifiti to Barnett trade.
My team now looks like this:
Smith, McInnes
JGraham, Kaufusi, Matagi (IPapalii)
Surgess, ET, Barnett, Siro (Yates, Stimson)
Norman, Lamb, Jacks (Hingano)
SMat, Kelly (Idris, Cotric)
Hayne, RTS, Guth (Phythian, Suli)
Not looking to bad for Origin either with this bunch

My answers to the questions.
1) No, it is unlikely for mine that Wallace will get almost 70 minutes each week. Personally the only reason he had such a bulk of minutes comes down to the fact that Proctor went off injured. He will certainly make money this week with a BE of 18. However if he ends up averaging 40 - 45 minutes. Once this Round 1 score works out (Round 5) he will have peaked in price. However if you think he can push 55+ minutes each week then that changes things and that makes it more likely he has 50+ scoring performances and makes a decent amount of cash. (I would be happy to be wrong about this and for him to get those minutes.)
2) This was talked about already, Jacks scored well with a lot of base stats. Meanwhile Elgey didn't get many attacking stats. While Elgey will be relying on attacking stats he should get more opportunities and has more potential at a massive score. I think both of these guys have potential to make the same amount of cash when/if Elgey has a good attacking display in a game or two. However Jacks is more consistent. Personally I wouldn't make the trade as it just seems very sideways to me. However there is some merit to it as Elgey may be a slow burn.
3) Suli I don't think is a must have option. However if you don't have him, he is a fair trade for Python. So might as well pick him up and make some cash off of him.
Thanks for that. Based on what you've said and Warriors (on the next page) it may be that I just hold off on making any trades at this stage.
How is Jacks' job security anyway? The way I read it, if/when Slater comes back then Munster will take his place. Is that how everyone else sees it?

Thanks for the reply. Yeah, I'm happy enough with Maloney. I've picked him because I think there is value there and that one game hasn't shown me enough to think that won't come to fruition.
At this stage I'll probably leave my team as is. I don't have enough money in the bank to go Python to Suli without a downgrade somewhere else.
The two realistic options (to get the $) would be Kromwich to Wallace or Elgey to Jacks (hence the first to Qs). The big question though is on aggregate is either option worth it or just save the trades...

Special mention to Kyle Turner who played 80 mins in the backrow for 14 points.

Pretty much but there are so many questionmarks over that. Like the fact Munster said he had been training in the halves all pre-season up until a week before Round 1. Which indicates they may have Munster there for the long haul. Although Slater was on one of the multitude of footy shows and said he was close to returning. So we really have no idea what is happening at the Storm at the moment. However just based on Munster moving to FB would make it seem Slater is awhile away.

I thought he moved to CTR when Inglis went off injured?

This is my first proper season and I completely overlooked the importance of keeping enough cash in the bank to upgrade a dud cash to a good one..... Rookie error huh! But bugger, thats a bit unlucky for you... If I kept 30 I could go Python to Suli... but I didn't

Honestly i think the munster training all pre-season at 5/8 was a bit of BS from the storm.

Think so? Munster stated it himself after the match, that his match fitness for a FB wasn't there because he had been training in the halves.

For me personally I want him to make it Round 4 so he can play 300 games. However if it is already pushed back so much, the chances of him returning become more slim.

Any way to find stats on the lower grade comps. I understand Rennings and Burns both scored 2 tries. No trades planned other than maybe Python> to whichever named. He won't lose money not playing right? Just BE increases?

Should I actually hold on to Lawrence, despite him now having a be of 45?
I mean, with suddenly clear daylight between him and other props in this team he should be good for 45 in those two rounds. But he just did so poorly last game I feel he deserves the axe. I could turn him into Lloyd Perret to use as a cashie (who should also pick up mins if both AFB and Taupau are suspended) and use that money to turn Krommich into Barnett, which seems a pretty solid move. I was inclined to give Krommich another chance on a dry track, but Barnett impressed me too much to leave out and it is now or never for buying him. Evolution of the next supergun, don't miss it folks!
Really don't know why you are considering trading Kromwich out. Hold trades. In 9 games last year, well 8 (ignore 1st one due to 59 minutes) Barnett got a 75 and an 80 (awesome), but he also got scores of 48, 37, 42, 31, 51 and 58. He will get 60 mins most weeks and should average above 50 (yates 20 mins at lock) Buhrer goes to dummy half and stone comes on for 15/20 mins on the edge.
Yates only came on for his first stint early because Barnett got his snoz whacked, and Barnett only played edge because Smat moved to centre and Buhrer was at dummy half when Pythian was injured.
Warriors just ran hard and straight down the middle (pretty 1 dimensional) and the guys in the middle racked up the tackles. Other teams use the wide channels a lot more so I don't expect Barnetts tackle count to be that high every game.
But I agree, I'd probably chase Barnett/Finucane etc before chasing JDB.
Buy low sell high, keep K Bromwich and sell him to his brother soon, or Surgess, PODENE, Mannering, Whitehead, Merrin etc when they bottom out and look like hitting form again. Would you be more happy with picking up JBrom/Whitehead for sub $400,000 or Barnett for $470,000. I don't have any second row guns yet but happy there prices are coming down except JDB/Barnett.
