Hello back again. Haven't even done my team. Lot of cramming required

Longer term, who loses minutes in the Bronco's forward rotation.

On last year averages I have Macca 79, Gillett 76, Glenn 60, McGuire 59, Thaiday 52, Sims 39, Sua 37 (limited games), Ofa 33, TPJ 26.
Or 460 of 480 with Lodge to add.

I assume Sims gets less off the bench and Sua less than over origin, but if TPJ takes 40 minutes, then who are they coming from?

in terms of Broncos prop rotation last year, Blair usually got 50-odd with Offa taking the rest, and Ese'Ese and Sims were pretty much a 40-40 split, with Blair and Ese'Ese gone there are minutes up for grabs there.

Make sure you check in with Milchcow to jump into the Fantasy Fanatic Leagues.

With some jiggery pokery I've managed to get Smith and Fifita into my team.... it does mean starting Hiku and Katoa plus having another 228 in the 17....

Although, it looks like a few teams will be running with a couple of scoring cheapies so it might not be too unbalanced.

I've got 4 under 300k in my 17 and another 4 on the bench.

One of the only guys running without Lolo. I think he had a breakout year last year and can't necessarily maintain that average. If you have doubts about Smith it is a good option though. I just see Smith as more stable for $3k.

Other than that no real bad options.

Central to that juggling will be Brennan's forward pack, with Brisbane recruit Jai Arrow named in the front row to replace Jarrod Wallace (suspension).

The coach said Arrow would also spend time at lock, while starting lock Bryce Cartwright, who's a former pupil of Brennan during his time at the Panthers, is likely to swing into the second row.

Captain Ryan James will start in the second row in a change from last season but is likely to relieve Arrow in the front row at some stage.

I am starting Hiku and Katoa as well ):

Teams listed here are starting to look even more similar after TLT...

Couple of reshuffles but managed to sneak Kennar out of starting 17. What do you think.

Smith
Rochow Lodge
Whitehead Brown RFM
Croft Cartwright
Aubs BJ
Ponga Teddy Katoa

Cook
Lichea
Arrow
Nicholls

By putting Aubs in, i had to ditch Niko in the halves bring Cartwright off the bench and add Nicholls to the 17. What do you think. Basically Im punting Nicholls and Aubs to outscore Niko and Kennar.

Agree/disagree?

Yeah ok thanks my group said we're not allow to captain CS9 so that's why I went LOLO

To make it more interesting

NAS or S. Siua Taukeiaho?

Just went Tedesco > Lolohea and Niko > Cleary. I know, I know.....Just a gut feeling that Lolo is going to have a breakout year at FB, taking over from Tedesco and I’m not convinced Ted will be the same standout at the Roosters. Hoping I won’t lose too much there. Also banking on McInness/Cook as my hookers. No Smith to start with. I like what I saw of Kikau in the WC. This team is definitely different I still think Max King and Eisenhuth will be standouts this year, but I’ll wait until they’re starting.

McInnes, Cook
MCGuire, Kikau
Fitzgibbon, Rochow, Murray, Cartwright, Griffin, RFM
Cleary, Croft
Aubbs, Hiku
Ponga, Lolohea, Katoa

Hampton, Havalli, Croker, Tatola

I know, I know  

Who is the best centre option in the 400-500k range ??

BJ > Jayne > Manu ............. not really any other options.

Those three are a gamble between:
- BJ actually turning up and putting in effort
- Jayne spending time at FB, and not being a lazy prick
- Manu running onto many Cronk/Teddy breaks.

Just a heads up.

Tigers hooker Pita Godinet is in the system at 228K with a BE of 16

have the dpp's been updated yet?

NOOO

If I stick with Moses(just have this feeling he will have a big one) and downgrade Leilua to Hiku I'm left with 405k. But I'm happy with the rest of my team so I guess I just hang on to the extra cash unless I can be convinced on BJ? Not a fan of Hiku but BJ burned me last year
