All good, I'm rubbish at this team analyst stuff I can barely be set on my own team



I still want Townsend....

Name me someone who is?. But for real, Townsend, season avgs 36, 36, 39, 39, 36. This time he'll do better.

I see a pattern

36, 36, 39, 39, 36 so clearly this year it'll be 39 or 70 not entirely sure

I'm banking on Moylan and Graham to have less kms than what Maloney had

Graham's (Wade?) would be the same wouldn't they? So just compare Moylan to Maloney??

Yeah well I could do that but really I think Grahams will go up slightly and Moylan would do next to none

Quick calculation, someone berate me if I'm wrong, Moylan in the halves, km's 56, Maloney 127, difference 3.5 points. Maybe if he end's up gk?

I've seen a few people say that Holmes will get the kicking but I didn't know that he was known for his goal kicking

Also while I'm still pissed off. I used to think that boxing was the most corrupt sport in the world. I just watched my first game of EPL. Man City was part of match fixing if I've ever seen it!

Yeah he did when Maloney was out I think. I'll check

Kicked 10 goals when Maloney was out in 4 games

Has everyone seen this yet? UAE T20 cricket. Wait for the 'run out' at the end, cracker troll

ok that's pretty bad

Alright watching that and 8 out of 10 cats has calmed me down

But if Nu Brown is on the Bulldogs bench then Lichaa may only play 60 minutes & he only score around 40 points. Lichaa needs to play 80 to get 50+. I'm passing on both Cook & Lichaa.

Trials won't help that much, especially for Cook.

The one thing you can guarantee is that Cook won't play 80 minutes in the trial, because there will be a massive extended bench (that probably includes Farah)

Also in games  playing 60+ minutes at hooker

Cook  
2017 - 54 points in 69 minutes
2016 - 49 points in 78 minutes

Lichaa 
2017 - 46 points in 77 minutes
2016 - 48 points in 75 minutes

OF course Farah might pop up at any time, but other than that Cook is the better option.

I'll probably run with 4 hookers and include both Cook and Lichaa, but if you just have 1 I think Cook has more upside.

Especially against the useless Warriors in round 1 at Perth where his attacking skills will be on show. I can see him making a lot of runs out of dummy half & causing mayhem.

I'm not getting the Lichaa talk. He's been underwhelming for a while and I think he's accurately priced. Also, not seeing squads filled out with many 220k ish players on here. No real cashies like last year?

Played a bunch of low minute interchange games last year to knock his price down.
Plus Des was pretty conservative with how his hookers played and there is hope that Pay will give him more attacking license

For $220k players, Milne and Croker look like good bets, as well as whoever gets the Canberra hooking job.
A few other guys on the cusp of selection, just need to wait for some trials to work out who will be a decent fantasy prospect

Yeah Wolfie, even if he does not start you have to have him regardless. Latu looks dodgy now
but Kikau may be more viable as a EMG.This will make Evans more popular as well. I refuse to have him
as a long suffering Roosters supporter.

You poor bastard, I bawled my eyes out after reading your sob story

My question about running 3 hookers on the bench got missed so I'll ask it again now that you brought it up Milch.

With the hookers taking up 3 bench spots there are only 5 spots left to cover all the other positions.

I can understand the theory behind running with 3 or 4 hookers  but arn't you a bit worried that it may leave you short on injury/suspension cover for all the other positions in the team?
