He has plenty in the reserves to swap for a replacement at least that’s what I’m doing if one of my backs go down

Oh okay, risk it and if the worst happens you'll probably have a reserve that needs trading anyway, is that it?

Late thoughts on TPJ? Off after 20 with AMc coming on then back to cause havoc in last 20? Is it worth it?

Have...er...$265k to turn him into someone else. Or wait a week or two to see how it plays out... he's not *losing* money.

Pangai being talked up a lot but when Macca starts there will be 5 props in the team (with McGuire) so minutes is a big concern to me.

I lied now team is set. Good luck with the season everyone.

Campbell Graham is only a couple of weeks away apparently and is rated higher than Kennar by the Bunnies from what I've read.

Where’d you read that?

If tedesco, ponga, aubss or GI get a one week suspension, are you trading them or taking a 0?

I am OK with Liu >> SST. I think he is a great POD

I am also OK with going light with potential cows in 2RF. Lots of quality back up options on the bench

I do hear you about the CTR/WFB option though. My hand is forced. Going to take on Hiku and downgrade Tedesco to Walker. May regret but then again, hopefully Tedesco has a few stinkers to staart the year on the basis of Cronk not passing it to him. He can only death ride and hope. Hiku Good job security and 2016 stats at centre have turned my decision. Def not picking Kennar. Thats the team done. I am going to a work dinner with only one player tonight (Lodge). I was never to keen on Croker in any case.

Here is hoping for a decent weekend

is the money i can make off whitehead worth the potential point decifit i'll get leaving out JDB? i also get quite a warchest (336k) as safety if i run whitehead to help out since I'm running alot of risks in the backline

I personally think people focus too much on the potential $ rise vs the point deficit and not enough on what you can do with the extra money left over in situations like this.

I reckon Whitehead is 10 points undervalued, whereas JDB is most likely gonna hit somewhere around his average. Therefore if you spend the money saved wisely then I think its worth it.

I'm not a big fan of the warchest idea, but Im a risk taker in fantasy and I'd rather take a punt that I can get it roughly right in week one than leave 30 points or so on the table. If I stuff up and get it wrong, so be it. I might be wrong, but has anyone won this thing leaving that much $ on the table? Risk it mate, go all in!!

Kennar. He’ll be taking some hit ups and if Reynolds kicking game is on, a couple of meaties.

Different websites. I've seen him mentioned a lot and Kennar not so much. Even Freddy was talking him up.

Swapping SST to Liu. Fuck it.

The panic is beginning to set in.
Which two out of JTurbo, Fifita, Brown and Merrin?
The first 2, right? But the 2nd two are better value. Eh!

Help!
Please and thank you!

Not around the Souths camp. Freddy wouldn’t have a clue.

Beer O'clock - Good Luck. Lets see how many meat pies I get tonight

Isaako mate purely based on the fact he plays on a better team so more attacking opportunities

It’s a new year mate. I reckon Souths look heaps better.

My team accidentally ended up Smith-less so I need to panic about captaincy choices. Or panic about completely destroying my team to squeeze Smith back in. PANIC!
