How many minutes do you think Vaughan will get? Vaughan 1.02 PPM vs. Wallace 0.845 PPM. Based on these averages Wallace would have to get 55 minutes compared to Vaughan's 45 to average the same..

Podcast on the NRL site talks about Wallace's 70mins being closer to the norm than the exception.

I was expecting 50 from Vaughan, but not so sure now.

I see that Bren and Woodsy are tight!

Before trades:

Smith Brailey

JDB ET Kbrom Smat Siro Yates

walker kelly idris suli
Turbo rts hayne cotric python   114k itb

I know I don't need to but I've been looking at ways to get teddy or barnett in

It's 152k to upgrade KBrom to Barnett, so if you can find 38k, maybe from Elgey, then that will get you Barnett.

Me too because I realised next week I wont be able to afford DSaifiti - Wallace if both score like round 1

Eek.

You already have Smith, Fifita, JDB, Norman and ET who can punch out big scores... (plus Walker, and Turbo who have good days)
I don't see a real need for you to bring Teddy in...

ET has potential to go up in price.... Teddy will probably go up and down during the season, and he started pretty high already

worse case its a sideways trade but Wallace still avgs slightly higher
best case he plays 65-70 minutes lock and turns into a 50 point gun

Note: I don't expect Saifiti to score under 25 again, Wallace is just safer and DPP

Say what!!!

Didn't realize Wallace was only 310k in Fantasy. Thought he was 350k+. No wonder everyone is trading him in.

80k + DPP + higher ceiling average makes it not sideways, I reckon do it.

How many minutes do you think Vaughan will get? Vaughan 1.02 PPM vs. Wallace 0.845 PPM. Based on these averages Wallace would have to get 55 minutes compared to Vaughan's 45 to average the same..

Did you work those PPM's out from last round or last year? Last round:

Vaughan's PPM was .91, Wallace was .81.
Vaughan's base stats in that were 38/42 ; Wallace base stats 57/56.

So how many minutes do we think Wallace will get once Paasi is back on board???

Paasi played last week mate

First time in many years if ever that I haven't made a double trade in the opening week.

I wouldn't take those NRL podcast guys seriously, they're pissing in the wind for the most part.

However Wallace is tempting even without 70 minutes.

Damn with the uncertainty of Carty I'm probably gonna have to sit and wait. Was looking at Nofo but I think going Phython to Moga and Saifiti to Wallace is smarter this early on. But with the uncertaintly of Carty, I may have to wait and see. If he doesn't end up playing will have to sit on Saifiti for a week and I then have enough to turn Carty into JDB on the day.

Oops, I thought he was still out with injury

So what does the Titans rotation look like?

looking to bring in cows to free up money. Trading out JBrom to one of the following Moga, Matagi or Frankenstein. Problem is I dont think they are that great.

Moga injury prone and 1 bad game from being dropped, but looked decent.
Matagi ran back 4-5 drop outs for 80-100metres and wont have that every game.
Frankenstein bad ppm history and unlikely to change, but has the most job security and guaranteed minutes to offset the ppm.

Anyone else I am missing who might be a better option? Already have KBrom, Wallace, Siro, Faufusi, Yates, MCK, Suli, Kelly, Coric and Talaki.

I know you are right. It's fun coming up with different ideas though. I think Welshy nailed with Ted avg about 50 and the reason I got ET is because I'm expecting him to avg 50 and he may well still do that except for 100k cheaper

Is Burns an option?

Have a backline of

Talakai, Idris, Suli, Kelly
Turbo, RTS, Hayne, Cotric, Pythian

Not at all idea is it??
