He had that last season. All sorted now he guzzled some kombucha and got himself some pranic healing. Now this third eye is fully in tune with his gun status

Which is mid range cow is better and why?
700k/48pts with potential to avg 58 (ie: Macca)
550k/40pts with potential to avg 50 (ie: Tolman)
450k/30pts with potential to avg 40 (ie: Capewell)

Sorry, maybe it is my dodgy Bronco player bias coming on. Can someone passionately sell it to me? I want to believe but I am an old decrepit cynic. Give me something to believe in. I want to feel young again

I keep finding Whitehead in my team. Priced at 37. Surely he plays big mins in the backrow or at lock this year without being shoved into the centres. If Leilua or Croker get injured there's J.Batman & Cotric for cover. And to cover Cotric is Abbey and Oldfield for the wing.

I need somebody to talk me down off this ledge, everything is fading to green and there's a gutter english accent in the distance...

Hard to say without knowing what you spend the rest of the money (if any) on

Edit: based purely on potential though the biggest bang for the buck is buying low and selling high isn't it?

Just as well it's a fantasy.

Bahahaha

I genuinely miss the old days of when it was just the team jersey I always thought that was way better!

But doesn't having a potential gun like Macca give you more value for money because you save a trade?
Or Capewell for that matter, potentially being a top Centre?

If you value several candidates each at 10 points over their cost, then the best ones are going to be those that are going to score the closest to keeper status for their position. This allows them to stay in your team long enough to realise their maximum value.

A guy like Stimson is a good example of a guy that is likely significantly under-valued, but far from keeper status for his position. He is going to be a guy you want to trade well before he has peaked, as you need that slot he is taking for a gun keeper as an upgrade.

Very nice to see..... oh wait there.... we shouldn’t be reading into these trail lists right?

Unfortunately if their bench is to look like that then we are unlikely to see either of them edge backrowers play 80, with Williams and Sorensen there.

Former can play middle (lock) but not latter.

Will still have both in my 21!

Bit of a DeadZone question here to provide those lurking around refreshing the pages for any new comments looking like a junky in need of a hit....

Thoughts on playing one cash WFB and rotating amongst two WFBs who you will play week in week out. Of course, like most things right now this will depend on TLT, but what are your thoughts on such a strategy?

Example: 2 of DEdwards, Drinkies, Watson and CNK. And then rotate one cow: Lomax, Hopoate, Ravalawa maybe Meany, Allan, Abbey etc

Currently I have gone heavy up top and would be hoping 1 of the 3 WFB cows I pick could be playable each week. Would require a bit of guess work early on and luck, and then potentially one of them could establish themselves as a week-in, week-out option. Your please

I'm pretty sure 90% of serious teams will have one cashie wfb in their 17 and perhaps two in their 21 who they think will fire. You will get a head start if you pick the right 3 like last year. I know one was Thompson but can't remember the others. The challenge this year is that there are double the amount of bottom dollar wfbs/ctrs who could go large with and also a few 2rfs who may play 80. Nikora/burr come to mind.

Ravalawa and Xerri (if named at Wing round 1), I think are both very playable.

Isaako and the Titans winger last season

I do hope Cartys named with James on the bench for peak ownership % so I can pick literally anyone ahead of him and have my one differential be vs Carty

He easily could've averaged 35 if SJ was playing right side

Avatar bet? In his first 10 games this year I think Katoa will go below that. I'll even give you a little bit and set the line at 32.5 average with me taking the under

I started with Whitehead last year and the first few weeks were solid but he scored like 4 tries in 3 games. He was poor after that. Who knows in regards to the Aubbs rule, but yeah they have a few options but wouldn't Sticky keep Whitehead as the guy that shifts, since he's had so much experience at it in the team before?

Fusitu'a played as SJ's winger last year and managed a 29.5 average
And that was with 22 tries.

It might be just me but I seem to be seeing less and less teams with teddy in them. Any particular reason or are people just finding ot to hard to come up with the extra $?
