With his DPP cheapness and lock position pretty much sewn up, hell no

I'm thinking of being hugely hopeful and going Croker and Leilua, however I assume one will have to go if Taka or Milne are named.

At least the first combo has no question marks in regards to position safety

Linnett having surgery for pec injury. Return time approx rounds 9-13. Bowen will probably come in but at 449k he's not cheap.

Bowen priced at his average played more than 7 games so didn't get a discount

Checked him out last night

Fair enough, maybe it's jsut because I don't really rate him as a player so my Fantasy + Real life worlds are over lapping.

I had him but dont trust him to stay out of trouble so its a pass for me.

I’d love to see scores of croker and papali side by side. I’ve always thought that croker plays best when papa is on fire. In attack and defence. Croker is always ripped for poor defence, but statistically is rated one of the best defenders in Comp. I honestly think it’s because he either makes the tackle or misreads and doesn’t lay a hand on them.

Although is guilty of that really annoying dive on a try scorer after they have scored and costing us a missed tackle

Hingano to Raiders

(Sezer Hooker)

Anyone keeping some money left overs to help turning those failing mid rangers into rising ones?

I'm pretty happy with this until TLT with $175,000 left over

Smith
Lodge, Napa
Brown, Harris, RFM
Croft, Croker
HHunt, BTaka
Ponga, Tedesco, Inglis

Cook, Cartwright, Lichaa, Raiders hooker

2 of Katoa/Kennar/Thompson
Kikau
LLeilua

How much cash are people keeping in the bank this year? I currently have 89k and spending it doesn't seem to improve my team at all really. It can be useful to have to pick up cheapies you missed, but it feels like I'm missing out on six extra points (89k divide magic no of 14645). Thoughts?

Do you know any? Would be good to get them on here!

Another classic Moley moment.
Reports on Hingano's departure, whilst simultaneously cursing the guy who broke the news first, because he was apparently saving this scoop until tomorrow morning....

Assuming all starting,

Fualalo and Takarangi

vs

RFM and Kennar.

All in my 13

Can't see Fualalo starting mate so option 2

I know HHunt isn't base price and isn't a certainty to start but if he does, he possesses far more potential than Kennar

Guys in L3, I've sent all the invites out with the codes for both L3 & the Overall Fanatics League.

Well that may have killed off Havili... be interesting to see what happens I guess. I know a few people weren't that keen on Havili anyway but I was looking for a 30 avg from him. Maybe Hingano plays ISP too..

An odd signing. I mean the kid can play but you wouldn’t think that him signing would push out Havilli/Williams.

I thought I read rumours late last year he wanted out of the Warriors (culture?). I suppose they signed Blake Green to a three year contract, so with SJ and Green it leaves little room to play NRL any time soon. The Raiders would provide more opportunities, if not immediately.
