Rate My Team 2019

So after taking your advice into account:

R. Mahoney
A. Fifita, Twal
J. Arrow, C. Murray, Stimson
M. Morgan, N. Cleary
J. Bateman, K. Capewell
D. Edwards, C Watson, Z. Lomax

W. Egan, S. Sorensen, P. Haas, L Leilua

D. Brown, Ravalawa, L. Burr, A. Keirghan.

Differences are Bird + Whitehead + Tolman + Mansour vs Twal + Stimson + LLeilua + CWatson. It does look like with the changes I made I save a tonne of trades.

Much prefer this revision. No point having Bird in the team when your strongest position is Center.

With the rookies being able to swap out. Like yes my bench looks weaker because you have two mid-tier guys there but my captain options are J. Arrow, A. Fifita, N. Cleary, and then C. Murray.

That looks a lot better. Starting with some more firepower out of the gate to face those with McCullough/Cook/Smith.

Finally got a a team together. Only have a few questions

Macca
Tpj, McGuire
Matterson, Murray, Josh papapli
Dce, cht
Crocker, Capewell
Turbo, Cotric, lomax

Stimson, kapewell, haas, brown, Egan, keirghan. 212, 212.

I hate McGuire as a person and a player, would consider dropping him for Tolman and upgrading papali to jurbo to give me a solid captain option.

I definitely like that as a change.

I agree the change sounds great, is Cotric in your team on the premise he gets FB? If he does he comes into my team as well.

Cotric is there because I think with out rapana the ball goes left through Crocker and cotric more. I’m not sold on him at fb anyway. But I think In general with out rapana, he gets more work load.

Turns out I fucked up on the maths. Can’t do that swap unless i bring in someone around 550k I’m frf.

Probably can't play capewell twice either

Ah shit. Substitute one for bird.

I personally think McGuire is a terrible pick. The rest looks reasonable.

Haha, took me a minute to figure out which bit you fixed!

Okay chaps, just looking for anything glaringly horrific about this line-up that is an urgent must-change. Obviously all pending TLT. I know FRF is probably my main weakness, just not sure how to fix it for now;

Macca
Haas / Mclean
Arrow / Murray / Matterson
Morgan / Munster
Mata'utia / J.Bateman
Tedesco / Edwards / A.Gray

Capewell / Egan / Stimson / Keighran

Allan / Lomax / Staggs / J.Host

21K balance.

Thanks in advance for any thoughts.

Bolded are my only real concerns

wouldn't have Haas in my scoring 17 let alone starting team to start the season, can't see the minutes, McLean with the addition of McGurie probably takes some of his work away and he isn't your 7 TB type to make up for lack of bread and butter stats

SMat, Will he even start, walking concussion as well too much risk for me!
Bateman, wait and see for me fella, role too uncertain (I reckon he will be a CTR gun option though)

Can't see enough for Staggs and he isn't base price so too much capital invested for little return

Thank you, sir. You highlighted a couple of my genuine concerns in Haas and Staggs who are there purely for their $$ value, as I also like neither, lol. In that price range, just not sure who to go for instead.

Thanks for thoughts on Mclean too, as I wasn't sure about him either... but also wasn't sure where else to go in the bottom end of higher priced FRF options. Do you like Welch? He seems great value? I actually like him and Fotuaika. I know he's a bit of a curveball, but I see that dood as an aspiring Tolo, and whether it be 2019 or another year... I think he'll do great things. But jeez he's got some mountains to climb to get good minutes in the Titans pack.

J.Bateman - definitely share same concerns as you, but also the same possible upside so I'm willing to take a risk on him.

SMat - thanks for your thoughts. I have a lot of back up CTR options already so you think it's safe to punt him and maybe try to work on my FRFs? Sounds mighty sensible. Capewell into starting side and SMat punted...

Haven’t really mucked around with a team until we start seeing trials
But threw this together quickly to see what was possible

Cook
Tolman Pangai jr
Arrow Murray Gillet
Morgan Keighran
Capewell Bird
Lomax Ravalawa Allan

Smith McCullough Mahoney Stimson

Moga Gray Cartwright Abbey

...................

Light in backs and a lot of ??? on some selections pending TLT
Just wanted to see how a hooker team would go

Could say lighten up the 2rf by removing arrow and promoting Stimson, buy another back or half etc
Plenty of options in 2019

I really like it. It is pretty much my current draft team but with hookers over Turbo and RTS

Hey lads made a team with 1k in the bank, any concerns here.
My only feeling is that the bench is too light.

Macca
Surgess, TPJ
Arrow, Murray, Stimson
Munster, Morgan
Capewell, Lomax
Teddy, Watson, Edwards

Mahoney, Egan, Haas, Keighran
212k x4

Any thoughts would be super appreciated.

It went more that way last season. Rapana got 0-0.37 ball lol

I like it. Similar balance to my team. Stacked backs. Personally not going to touch Surgess. I know he's great but feel he's going to go similar to his price.
