Connor Watson is expensive for his popularity. Surprised he is seen as such big value

I'm coming around to him. I see him as about 10 points undervalued, still definitely a mid-ranger but a couple of good games and you might be able to ride him up to a gun. DPP is very helpful also.

1 current, 1 ex, 1 future Rooster.

Now they're rorting the fantasy auto pick. Is there anyone who can say no to Uncle Nick.

Any thoughts about GI vs Cotric?

Both are running behind second-rate/injured halves, both break tackles for fun, but GI's knees have less cartilage than my retaining wall, and Cotric seems pretty fully-priced at 560.

Perhaps ignore both and roll the dice with Moylan................

Wonder if Bellamy will work wonders with Kasiano, could turn him in to a useful scorer

Where did Thompson go?

Didn't get resigned. Can't get a contract.

Which position can you go gun lite? Atm I'm thinking FRF or CTR?

Going for the 1 gun in each position strategy.

CTR.....to the end of time

Always CTR.

I'm guessing Hiku and Milne then will be the best cheapie combo in that position?

Yeah I think he’s good chance of beating his price but meant more against Croker who I think is a top lad, at 180k cheaper

Milne will be starting centre for the Tigers while Hiku will face competition but it does look like a cheap combo, I'm going to run with Milne and Aitken/Gray

Tempted to take the punt on Jack Bird for his new club but Hayne keeps staring at me with his DPP for 30k cheaper hmmm

I'm talking both or no Watson, Crocker will be there if named

No to both. Bird likely to miss first few rounds and Jayne at centre and fat. No thanks

Morning all, It’s good to be back....looking forward to another year of snakes and ladders.

Didn’t realise Bird was out. That obv changes things

Mooted switch to lock as well so keep an eye on him when he returns

Centres I have been looking at to run with Milne are:

Aitken, Croker and Latrell.

Croker, great opening draw, GK and previous gun.
Latrell, great opening draw, could be GK, Cronk and Teddy around, but Keary the hog inside him/cronk the other side.
Aitken, just a hunch but think he will carve outside Ben Hunt this year.

Have gone with Aitken and Milne. Am I crazy.

I was running with Croker/Milne earlier in the day. Didn't think of Aitken at all and now he's been mentioned twice in quick succession.

Aitken is a gun, strong and breaks tackles
