Just checked 2017, no real difference. less than a point extra to his average when on the winning team

Thanks Bovine. I am stretching it arent i.

I have Latrell in my team & I do agree that he is inconsistent previously because he faded out of games but imo that was a fitness issue. I remember reading a Roosters forum where they mentioned this but they were saying he was yes "training the house down" but also that he had lost his puppy fat around his mid rift & added muscle to his upper chest/arms. When I read the losing weight line he was in my team because that inferred an intent by Mitchell to take his game seriously.

Am I crazy for keeping Murray in my team? I've gone totally upside down this season now and I'm spending big in the backs and going cheap on forwards, which feels pretty disgusting. I have just enough to squeeze Murray in right now and everything around his price point looks unappealing.

He spends two weeks on the bench and then Surgess moves to FRF and Murray to lock right? Once he has match fitness? How much will his price drop?

Another option I was considering was just running Tualalo/Rochow and then using the difference to make a trade early on when Murray moves back to lock.

Is Murray actually that good, or does everyone have their hopeful fantasy glasses on? I don't know the answer as must admit that I didn't pay much attention to Souths late last season, but are they really going to be shuffling Surgess around to give a 20-year-old undersized kid big minutes at lock?

Always lurking around lad. Problem is there is 300 posts every time I go to sleep/work so not much time to comment as most of the stuff has already been touched on by the time I read it

Would a Lodge/Kikau FR be a good way to go??

The guys not currently in my team, that I have considered the most. Good chance 1 or more of them end up in my 21 somewhere come lock out.

JT Watson
Aubbs Leilua
Inglis Isaako Thompson

Arrow
Griffin
Havili
Mitchell

@Milchcow - I have considered most of the starting 13 also but have none of them, however I have your whole bench here.

Whitehead & Croft vs TKO & JT?

Bloody hell. Woke up and have twelve pages to read!

Go and have a look at his games at the end of last year and you’ll see why he’s popular.

Anyone got any stats on Dufty? Don’t remember much of the back half of his season but do remember when Dugan was injured, he was on fire!

It's game day!!!!

So team as it stands

Smith c
Arrow, Lodge
Whithead, SST, RFM
Croft, Carty
Aitken, Hiku
Teddy, Ponga, Katoa

Lichaa, Cook, TPJ, Griffindor
Kikau, Nicholls, Godinet, Croker

Thoughts gents? 190k left in the bank, any ideas what to do with it?

Last chance to join our VSDT fantasy leagues. 4 spots remain. https://www.nrlfantasyfanatics.com/t611p40-2018-virtual-sports-dream-team-leagues-registration-thread#172785

my memory is a bit hazy on this too. Can't remember if it was Dufty or Mann who was a tackle breaking machine. Can someone else remind us?

Handy stats @Rabbit. Can't pick him from the bench but will keep an eye. I do have far too many Souths players as it is though...
