Changes since teams posted have been Milne + Murray out for Latrell and Nicholls (bench). Current question for me is will Arrow average more than Rochow, Fualalo and Griffin?

If Griffin gets 50-60 minutes I'd expect him to average 40. He loves work and Newcastle will have plenty of work to do. Buhrer and Lamb on the bench and Levi in the sheds complicates things though. Who knows how Brown is going to play it going forward. Constant changes last year.

Nothing in Fualolo's fantasy history to suggest he'll score particularly well. Young kid though, so could be a different player this year.

Rochow will score great until he's out of the team. And look at Wests' opening fixtures.

Arrow I like and Brennan obviously rates him. Should be good for 40 as a starting middle, but who gets more minutes out of him and Latu when Wallace back?

Arrow worker 50 mins, Latu explosive stints 35/40

I know there is a lot of Aubusson love here. Any one got any info on his scores/minutes playing from 2nd row?

Without checking because I have already, pretty sure it's 45.

How much coin do you need to make out of a cow this year to make it a "success"? 150k? 200k? Different amounts for the $228k and $400k guys?

How many minutes does FAC get with that Broncs bench? Who spells him?

Thanks Welshy and Rhinoceroo - I think I’m leaning to Griffin Mulvy. Starting hooker in 2rf is juicy. Makes him the 5th hooker in my team. Is not guaranteed to retain his spot but potentially 60minutes minimum(?) will see him rise nicely (priced at 26) and hopefully average more than Arrow too. Also a crazy 2% ownership atm...

I doubt anyone on the Broncos bench can spell McCullough.

thanks @mulvy

Potentially Thaiday or McGuire? Looks set for 80 though.

Previously we needed $100k based on what a trade was worth to get to the team value that the leaders typically got. that is $150k in today's money. But with the competition completely different with squad sizes etc, I don't think anyone could rightly know could they?

Thaiday will start at hooker.

Yeah I'm leaning that way too. Also if he happened to be putting up low 40's you could potentially keep him until round 13 maybe. But job security pretty ordinary and dodgy knees worries me.

This may have been posted already on the forum

but who owns the teams "Bin Chicken" and "Green Machine"

Can you let me know who you are please

Bin Chicken is Sauce Reed mate

Did mcqueen have any set backs of late? Just found and article from jan 27 saying he returned to full contact a couple of weeks prior and was eager for trials..

That's what I'm expecting.

Hookers everywhere. My team looks like the valley on a Saturday night. Surprised James Roberts hasn't made an appearance.

All this mid range potential is hard to ignore.  I'm totally torn to start with Fifita or not and secure the centre positions instead.  At the moment taking Fifita out I have this (DPP reliant);

Smith
Lodge SST
Merrin Whitehead RFM
Croft Carty
Mitchell BJ
Teddy Katoa Ponga

Cook AFB Griffin Nicholls

Havilli Croker Kennar Isaako/Kikau

Don't like having to start Nichols though, but not much can be done.

I also think Kikau is a trap and I can't trust Rochows job security one little bit.
