Not sure how or why he left Roosters the first time but they obviously still rate him to sign him again.

Played a handful of games for raiders, the guys a spud. Yes I still blame him for our loss to the Titans. The Roosters can have him, but why would you want him?

I can’t fully remember but they booted him I think. Like you said they obviously rate him

If they both get starting 2nd row spots I refuse to believe you can't fit both in.

It's called being greedy and wanting to keep Taupau, Dufty and Cook haha . I guess one will need to go so I'm thinking Taupau to JBrom but really not keen to take Taupau out or pick up JBrom.

Suggestions?

I had Welch at 18 but Ive traded him to taka and got rid of Milne.

The only thing that is really bugging me is choosing between Lichaa and Harris. My bench will either be Lichaa/Harris Cook NAS Arrow

Which option do you like. Cheers.
(a) Tedesco & Manu or
(b) L. Mitchell & Dufty

I don't see the value of Manu..\

If you could scrape up $17k you could have Tedesco and Takarangi.

Otherwise the second option I guess, but I am not sold on Mitchell or Dufty.

My current squad FWIW.

C. Smith
J. Bromwich, J. Graham
T. Harris, R. Faitala-Mariner, N. Brown
B. Croft, C. Watson
M. Aubusson, B. Takairangi
K. Ponga, L. Coote, P. Hiku

M. Lichaa, B. Cartwright, M. Lodge, C. Garvey

L. Croker, S. Katoa, T. Milne, R. Kennar

I have 100k in change to improve the squad..

People I am not 100% sold on.
J. Bromwich, J. Graham, T. Harris, L. Coote.

- Milne gets traded for whatever cheapie starts for the Tigers. I am guessing it is Thompson at this stage. (My money is Thompson is on the wing and Lolo returns to the squad.)

- If Arrow somehow starts then he takes Harris' spot and the extra money turns a nuffie into Cook.

I think I would select Harris and Lichaa before Cook, NAS and Arrow. All of which I recently removed from my team. It is just hard seeing those guys get the perfect scenario.

I mean will you select Cook if Farah is on the bench? Will you select NAS/Arrow if they are starting from the bench?

I love Dufty and it has been so hard not to select him at his price, but if you take away the game he scored a massive 12 TBs in. His average gets bought down to 32 over six games. I would be swapping him out if you can find value elsewhere. As I mentioned with Dan just before, look at getting your set in stone team and guys with question marks out to the side to bring in later once TLT confirms everything. Cook is one of those guys you probably wont pick if Farah is on the bench. Which has a reasonable likelihood of happening. So set your team up based on that happening.

With Smith, Lodge, Ponga and Cartwright making up %60.

My starting 3 2rf making up 0.7% of my team.

interesting way of looking at it. mine came to around 370% (all 21 players). though a couple around the 30 mark i am looking to remove at the moment.

Did the PoD score thing and got 403%.... I feel like I am doing it right.

Murray?

Been in and out of my squad.

I just dunno about him ya know... Just still not sold on him, even though everyone else here is.

Coote was holding a injury maybe a month ago with a rumour floating that Morgs would drop back to FB if Coote couldn’t play. He seems fine now but with Ponga gone it wouldn’t surprise me if Morgs has to drop back at some point during the season due to Coote’s injury history.

Coote is a bit of a Darius Boyd. Always going to be a good player but never fantasy relevant.

"NRL.com understands Inglis is tracking ahead of schedule and is likely to be given some minutes in the annual Charity Shield ahead of the Rabbitohs' season opener against the New Zealand Warriors in Perth. However he will have to get through the team's final training session on Friday before being given the all clear."

Are people really going to decide RE Cook based on week 1's 1 - 17 ? It'll be the same as last year wont it...

Its a risk, but if Farah is out of the 17 in week 1, it is a risk I am probably willing to take.

Farah to "pick up a niggle" in the charity shield and miss round 1, just to cause extra confusion.
