Welcome mate. Unlikely that Yates will be in the 17 for the Knights. I think you need a better half than Sezer. Also I don't think Butcher will make the 17 for the Roosters as Collins seems ahead of him. You have Lodge twice. I think you have to beef up your 2fr a bit.

@White Lightning Thanks eh! This is my first post to this forum and first attempt at NRL Fantasy. Aaaaannnnd it appears I've got some work to do... Thanks for your insight - back to the drawing board then.

I like a lot of your picks & your team is 95% there & you only need a few tweeks. Usually the first place to start to raise some cash is the ctrs so just downgrade J. Croker. Just have a look at the teams previously posted to get a general idea.

Is anyone planning to have Christian Welch in their team atm?

I just wanted to let you know that I've done a forward rotation prediction and I just can't see him getting more than 20 minutes which is shit

JBrom 50
CS9 80
Glaby 40
Kaufusi 70
Hoffman 60
Finucane 60
KBrom 30
NAS 40
Kasiano 30
Welch 20

Supposing another cheap centre comes along,

1. Fifita + cheap centre

OR

2. NAS + Maubbs?

I like option 2 & Fifita starts slowly but I'll be generous & give him 50 pts.

Fifita = 50
Ctr = 25

NAS = 45
Maubs = 45

What do you guys think of this team ?
Smith
Scott- Lodge
Taumololo-Murray-Arrow
Croft-Watson
Milne-Gagai
Teddy-Vanivalu-Ponga

Bench
-Havili
-Latu
-Hiku
-Cartwright

-Garvey
-Croker
-Molo
-Gray

Any advice for a French guy ??

Mentioned him earlier. Hes on my watchlist. Not sure how many mins he can get, but he may jag the starting prop role. I think it could be a breakout season for him in terms of footy. Has potential to translate to fantasy

You have Taumalolo (914k) & Gagai (631k) who are too expensive which means you have a poor bench (Latu & Hiku).
Taumalolo could be playing less minutes in the middle due to all the middle men at the Cowboys so his price will drop plus Scott is back & they have purchased McLean.
Gagai was the main man at the Knights but he is now at a team with more attacking outlets so his price will drop.
Vunivalu with no Cronk setting him up for tries.
Having Hiku on your bench will produce low scores. He has to be in your starting 13 because you want forwards on your 4 man bench.
Latu I don't think will be a strong enough scorer to be in your 17 but your could have him in your emergencies bench

what do you think of that minute prediction though? I really can't seem he getting minutes at all.

NAS will average 40 at best and Fifita doesn't always start slow.

In 2017 NAS played 7 games of 40 or more minutes (averaged 44 minutes) & he averaged 51 points. If this mooted 10-15 minute stint on the edge happens sure he'll probably make less tackles than he did in the middle but he's got a much higher chance of attacking stats re lb's, tb's & tries.

Apparently Garvey has gotten so fit that he has weakened his immune system. He keeps getting sick. Raiders head of recruitment Peter Mulholland thinks Havili will start at hooker

Yep I agree with NAS, I think he will get 40 minutes at a point/minute. Priced at 32.8 I'd be okay with that. I also think Maubbs will score 45's. Fifita is a lot harder to predict and a rookie centre even harder, but they'd be doing well to beat Maubbs and NAS I think.
