What's McKendry like? After some searching just your standard 40 minute player who averages around 30-35

It sucks because he used to be THE fantasy gun. :/

Latu or Arrow will get dropped for Wallace in round 3 (probably Latu) so I wouldn't go him either.

Will probably be eased back into first grade after two ACL's in a row.

Might go Kikau out & JFH in. Anyone considering the same.

i guess i should go Kikau to Havili, but he doesn't fill me with much confidence either...

did just this

I’ve pulled the trigger - cotric down to French to give me some money to play with next week

This is my best option but it means I have 4 Hookers in my 8 Reserves going forward.

JFH is pretty crap imo. CHN, Kikau and JFH will share minutes in the backrow so it's hard to predict who will score the best but Kikau is basement price which is why everyone has him.

Is JFh really worth another 70k, I'm not doing it.

Anyone know titans 19. Wanting to know if 59k will cover Katoa to Thompson? How much will Thompson be next week? If not might downgrade Kikau to aj Brimson and hope Gordon or Elgey get dropped.

I'm going to stick with Kikau... he's in my 18-21
Hoping he gets enough minutes to make it worthwhile.
I've got enough itb to fix what I need to fix this coming week

For those asking about why the captain's score is not doubling - in options, change from field view to list view and the captain's score doubles.

A+

Apparently JFH had a great trial last week. Maybe he is being rewarded for pre season form. After all he was first choice before his injury last year & before CHN appeared.

This is the exact swap I've been pondering... I have followed through on it now, the 130k I'll have next week will be mighty helpful.

yea just made it as well. I think Brown will be final 17 worthy come end of the year but I'm hoping with the cashies I've got that I'll be able to pick up the necessary cash along the way. Feels weird not having a forward (bar Smith) at the start of the season that I intend to finish with but the need for the cash as with smaller squads picking up the right players early is key I think.

Points wise I think it might be a cost of 5-10 per week but I think the money at this stage is more valuable. Allows the fix of Katoa possibly or with clearing dud/peak cows after a few rounds it could mean that early gun upgrade that could be key. Thinking someone like Gallen by around week 6/7 could be at a juicy price

Goddamn it Coach Griffin. Now I’m swapping to Havilli!? Or to keep Kikau!? Eff you.

What's with the panic around kikau, bench forwards can average 30-35 if they are busy, will make some cash and just move them along. The fact that he was originally named to start indicates he's got a spot in the 17 for a while. At base price, so long as they have job security you can't ask for too much more.

Can see reasons for both and that is making my head explode.

D Lui interest anyone? Haha

Cotric > BJ & Whitehead > Brown?
