B for me, I think Godinet and Rochow are on the same trap level, quite trappy but good rewards if not.

I'm going to risk NAS instead of Brom which lets me get up to 419k player instead of Rochow or Godinet. I've gone Griffin. Is he another Scott Moore? Lamb on bench means he doesn't play 80. Any better player for less than 419k??

Just a heads up for those like me that were unaware, it appears games shown on channel 9 can be streamed online for free legally from 9Now.com.au

TLT Round 2's fake news:

-Kyle Turner returns in round two as starting prop, pushing Nicholls to bench. Murray stays on bench.
-Jacob Liddle returns in the #9, Godinet to bench.
-A barnstorming performance by Chris McQueen in ISP has won him a starting spot in the tigers back row, at the expense of Robbie Rochow.
-Corey Harawira-Nira returns to the starting role, pushing Kikau to the bench.
-Robbie Farah named in the 17
-Nofoluma returns, Thompson to reserve grade.
-Bird surprise return, Isaako out of side.
-Hymel Hunt in, Richie Kennar out.
-Croker scores another 15
-Danny Levi included on knights bench.
-Adam Elliot starts on the left edge, pushing RFM to bench
-Macca starts, Thaiday prop, TPJ bench
-Fanhub have a working matchcentre and stats section

All the verified leagues kick off round 2, and exclude byes. So you play everyone once, then 4 rounds of finals

Thanks for the clarification! I was a bit concerned

I doubt Griffin will fall into that category mate, should be safe ish.

In actual team news, Hooper is reporting that Ham Sandwich is out for the dragons, Latimore onto the bench. That's probably good news for anyone that's prepared to spend big on JDB....

Just wanted to post and say thanks to all who contribute frequently. This forum has been super valuable in preparing for the season.

Attempting to contribute back I personally think this year it’ll be important to have some sort of war chest from the start (150-250k tops - anymore is wasting a good upgrade chance). This is because of the massive pool of forward mid-range cows that this 21 man format seems to favour and how likely it is that some of these need to be corrected early in the season (i.e. SST, Lodge, Arrow, Carty, RFM, NAS, AFB, TPJ, Murray, Fualalo, Rochow, Griffin, Kikau and Nicholls). One week of price rises/drops may make the gaps to move from dud cows to the best ones a fair bit larger than I think most people are appreciating right now.

To get this chest the easiest place I can see to free up some money is the back 5. Personally, I’m going light centres (Hiku, Kenner, Isaako) as in a few weeks Inglis will be rounding back into form after a slow start and I’ll likely play a wait and see game for the other target. All the other 450-550k gun centres (Aubs, Aitken, Roberts, Cotric, Croker, Latrell, Leilua, Inglis etc.) I’d rather replace with Lichaa for more secure points and value.

Once again, thanks everyone for all your thoughts and inputs and good luck for the season.

And does anyone know why Elliott Whitehead has a red dot? Is it an error or have I missed something?

The red dot scares other coaches away...

increases his POD value

Agree on the war chest this year mate. Hoping for 300 personally.

Absolutely agree on the war chest. I just cant do it though I've got 3k left over

2 sides to the coin MTB, you more than likely have more chance of scoring more points.

Lots of people taking big gambles on FRF and 2RF by no having at least a couple of guns?

Any other year certains members of this forum would be tearing into you. What has changed? I'm not confident running arrow and lodge as my FRF pairing.
