I had him as my captain in rounds 4 and 5. Radley stole every single minute from him and I was throwing things at the tv

Too much bank left bro. That's missed points. That team probably scores 750 if things go well  and I've put question marks over the ones who could either go as you expect them or spud out.

I'd recommend:
- Not Hodgson (but I do feel he has a chance to go well this year)
- Upgrade Moylan (I was initially interested but nah)
- Turn Kahu into Holland or Hampton
- Turn BMoz into Hughes or Edwards
- Reconsider Gavet (lots of forwards to steal his minutes)

Buuuuut if your really believe in your picks, go with them.

One of his best seasons was with Townsend in the halves

Yeah I imagine everyone would be planning will be to upgrade to Cook and Smith, so my thoughts are that it doesn't really matter who you have in that position as long as they are increasing in value and bridging that gap. Granted Mahoney will require a larger sum of money to upgrade than a McCullough pick (in the event that Macca isn't a keeper and requires upgrading, that is). But Mahoney still has plenty of dollar value for wiggle room if things don't pan out, whereas a cheaper hooker like Katoa might worry me for those reasons. And most importantly, the new format of NRLF really makes your team more fool-proof to these problems, in that I can really trade any player into a premium hooker (instead of needing to trade hooker>hooker pre-2018) to get myself out of trouble. Lama is only 100k away from Macca so if he isn't getting the minutes and Macca is killing it, I can always correct that mistake early (though I have a few possibilities up my sleeve). You mentioned Friend earlier, and I too am interested, but thinking I will take a slight warchest (150-200k) into round 1 and play Macca and Friend off against each other to find the best pick between them if they really are looking to be irresistible. Realistically I think they are only slightly undervalued.

Question to the forum, I mentioned my cash in the bank. I have never done this in my numerous years of playing fantasy sports, but it feels right this season. With all the mid-rangers looking undervalued I have a number in my team and am currently running with 192k ITB to try and dig myself out of any traps. Who else is going into R1 cashed up, and how big is your warchest?

Gavet and BMoz are the ones that I would potentially leave in there.
Hodgson, Moylan and Kahu are pretty much off the radar completely for me.

I am considering Gavet as a bit of a POD because he's barely mentioned around here and it looks like he'll start and hopefully that means he gets the minutes. I see him as the "fit" and "experienced" player that replaces Lillyman and is a much better stage of his career than when Bull was at the Knights.

BMoz could and should pick up where Ferguson left off at the Roosters. Priced any lower and he'd be a no-brainer.
Good value, I think but I can't find a slot for him in my team with other value picks getting in ahead of him

Happy NY fellas! Good to see the fanatics fam growing, with a few of the old heads keeping things afloat. Time poor over the last couple of seasons, so waiting for TLT before ramping things up & will hopefully be more involved in the forum this year.

Hodgson
Fifita, LAM
Matterson, Lane, Murray
Moylan, Brown
Kahu, Nikora
RTS, CNK, Morris

Mahoney, Gavet, Napa, Garner
Sele, Keighran, Lomax, Xerri

547K left in the bank (Probably will burn 6 trades first 4 rounds)
What's your view on Xerri's job security?

Townsend took a back seat then. He’s a premiership winning half now. Big difference. Good luck.

If Xerri is named round 1, would expect him to shine and keep his spot all season. He is the one player I am seriously considering having in my team to start the season, even if not named, to use as a loop. Expect he would get his shot in the first few rounds and everyone will waste a trade getting him in.

Nope. Host has the nod. If he gets a starting spot at some point in the season though, will jump on him, may be even cheaper by then.

Judge says it’s damaging for Jack De Belin to say “he has been stood down when he is not “  the rule has not yet been enacted @9NewsSyd  that means if there was a game tomorrow he could play
