Thinking that's okay?
How many have done better?

I haven't looked for rankings, but that seems pretty dammed good. Average for these 6 team comps is normally 400-450, but 453 tonight with those player scores is impressive.

Anyone done a maximum score calc yet?

464

Smith (c) Fifita, Mannering, SJ (vc) Chambers, RTS

To me Gillett and Jake T really stood out. Such good defenders always trying their hardest!

So with Dugan out - Mann to f/b - Field to start.

Scored 459 - Smith (c), Fifita, Cordner, SJ (vc), Chambers, RTS.

This was precisely my team also! We got pretty close to picking all the right players but buggered up with the Captains.

477 here

472
If I had captained and vc the right players in my ream i would have got 518. But i guess that is the way with many others

Thats a great score mate, you'd have to be pretty close to the top with that.

Pfft, 422, I always suk at these Match Day ones.

If Field does come in it would be a perfect Lamb cashout.

Waking to the news of field possibly starting...... that trade of elgey to him a few weeks ago might actually net some cash! Only picked field for full cash out value

After the test I think we can just about lock the following players into origin

1.Tedesco
2.
3.Hayne
4.Dugan*
5.Ferguson
6.
7.
8.Fifita
9.
10.
11.Cordner
12.Jackson
13.Frizell
14.
15.JTurbo
16.Klemmer
17.

Merrin might have played himself out of a blues jumper. If Dugan is fit he takes the centre spot if not it is still up for grabs. Wing spot comes down to TTurbo, BMoz, Ross. Centre is wide open if Dugan misses time. Jennings, Bird, Croker, BJ, Roberts, DWalker all a chance. 6 and 7 are the usual suspects. Maloney Moylan Pearce Reynolds. 2 halves will come from those 4. 9 could be any of Wallace, Farah, Cook, McInnes, Peats. 10 I would hope is Vaughan or Paulo but could be any of Shannon Boyd, Ryan James, McLean, Tamou or even Frizell to prop with JDB or Finucane at lock. 14 is one of Bird or Moylan with an outside chance or a backup hooker like Cook. 17 depends on Laurie's preferred team make up. Could be Wade Graham, JDB, Finucane, Paulo, Boyd, James, McLean, Tamou

Don't forget Gallen.

On the player ratings on NRL.com, they give Fifita a 6.5, only just beating out Merrin and Morgan with 5.5 each. Everyone else got 7 or higher. Jeez, the masses really dislike Fifita hey?

Yep, Fifita's a shoe in.  Jurbo is tremendous.  Between him and Tom and the younger brother, hopefully Manly pay them what they are worth next contract because they seem like the type that will stay loyal.

They both signed till 2020. Jurbo 700k Turbo 900k package deal i believe. Seems pretty fair to me

He had a few errors but really bent the line with his runs and created some awesome second phase play with the likes of Frizell and JTurbo pushing up around the ruck. 7-7.5 seems about right

Field played well in the Junior Kangaroos game kicking 5 goals, setting up 1 try & scoring a try himself but I have a feeling Mary will move Nightingale to f/b, keep Mann in the halves & bring in Milne to the wing.

Welpt, took a punt and Captained Merrin last night. Little did he know that was a try-out for my regular fantasy side. And he failed. Poorly.

Frawley added as 18th man for Country.

Hopefully we find out soon if Moses is getting an early release. Will be interesting to see where Gutho fits in with French back from injury and the potential switch of Moses

It could annoy French but I think they might keep Guth at FB and shift French to the wing if Moses makes the move. Hoffman and Takairangi when he gets back won't be left out of the team but the latter could switch to the bench as a utility or something.

BA should know wing is Guth's worst position out of the many he played last year. Centre or back to 5/8
would be better.
