Surely Kahu won’t last long at Fullback. He’s about as quick and skillful as my overweight pug

Haven’t met your pug but I’m sure that’s an accurate comparison. Kahu however is safe as a house under the highball and a gk to boot. Personally as a Cowboys fan I’m pissed at his selection because of your reasons mentioned. We won’t win a gf with him at FB

Vaughan another added to my maybe list for RD1.

I dropped Watson & Lomax out of my current draft.

Look for someone else?
I get why people like Drinkwater but his price is based on 1 good NRL game (the only game he's had) and he may not even start the season in the team. Wouldn't be surprised if Hughes starts at FB.

Yeah I have now gone for low cost halves and WFBs for value and spending big everywhere else.

For the lads in the Sportsdeck draft league. I must’ve been drunk when I chose one of my picks because somehow I have manase Fainu in the bench when we haven’t even picked a full squad yet ???? don’t even remember doing that

You missed a pick. 24 hours window and Fainu was defaulted to you

Did you pick today, as reading the thread you were due. If you didn't, then he is your auto pick after 24 hours. You've copped a bath over their by the way but that's the only reason half of us play the Draft, for the bantz I that thread!

you didn't do it.
You did not make a selection in the 24 hours allowed and got timed out. The system then gave you the highest ranked player remaining !!

Ahhh I see, I must’ve been drunk and not remembered. Where’s the thread for this? Haha

Yes, high end value, Arrow, Matterson, Murray. Difita in reserves.

Allows me a front row of Fifita, Taupau, with LAM in reserves.

What's your current WFB look like?

Katoa (looked great in the trial with Xerri), Ravalawa, B Moz

If I had to go low cost in the WFB I'd go.

BMoz, CNK, Katoa.

Or in the 3rd spot go Hopoate if Turbo is out for a month or more.
Maybe even Kahu

Thoughts on Menay as my final WFB

Would allow me to have a more balanced team E.G Cleary and Brown Instead of Morgan and Brown,,, Or i Could add another player like lil pap on my substitute.

However I would Have to replace either Edwards or Drinkwater, leaning more to keeping Edwards as he is proven and Drinkwater has only played one game (but looked Really Good)

Please Help !!!!

Stats for yesterdays games are up for everyone but Gold Coast v Cowboys

Hint - your POD got a crap fantasy score because there were so many interchange players that nobody got good minutes

Meaney is still unproven in my eyes. Didn't really do much at the Knights when got a chance to start. Avoid imo.
