What was Macca minute average last season? More likely 80 with no Bennett? Or was already close last season.

Averaged 72 minutes

First game of the season was on bench coming back from injury. Last game of the season got injured. played 80 in 15 of the other 19 games (and averaged 50)

Justification for McCullough is really his 2017 average of 57.

I though he broke his thumb and was out for a while?

Yeah I aint holding a guy that has back related issues for the start of the season.

I adjusted Stimson out of my side when he was ruled out of the trial.

Cant see him coming back and playing 80 mins off the bat.

Best replacement for Stimson

Glasby, Sironen, Niukore, Capewell

If I keep Edwards instead of Hughes, Capewell is an easy replacement

Yeah I'm pretty sure he's out for the first few rounds.

Can only have one of these guns in my starting team - Cleary, SJ, Critchon or another Gun (Already have Macca, Arrow, Marty, Fif)

I think Cleary is possibly the most underpriced of these guys, but if he is it's only by a couple of points if that. I think you can get any of these guys and reasonably expect them to keep value and be in your team all year.

SJ is the only one of these three who doesn't play Origin, although he's missed a few games due to injury every year going back a few except 2016.

Mahoney
Whitehead
Stimson Capewell
Garner
$137k

I'm tossing up downgrading Matterson to free up more cash to upgrade FRF, WFB, or Bench. Thoughts anyone?

Nothing wrong with that as your bench. No need to upgrade them

Hi have gone Critchon out of those (but don’t have Marty like you do)

I’m liking Siro ( you have Garner ?)

How long does it take for a player to peak in their price? Is it 5 rounds?

Yep of course, basically the way my team is set up is whether I value a Panthers or Storm player more in Edwards v Hughes to make funds to remove Stimson. So basically it's Edwards + Capewell v Hughes + Sironen

Who are we expecting to get Stimsons starting 2nd row in TLT?

Kbrom?

Hard to say. Probably Kenny Bromwich since he started there last trial. Off chance of NAS, or Tom Eisenhuth...

Agreed, decent!

@rippin and tearin

Please check your inbox, we have a league that needs filling. Thanks.

Depends how underpriced they are.

But price rises are always quicker at the start and then slow down. A $212k player who scores 30 every week will make $100k in the first 4 weeks, and take another 7 weeks to make the next $100k

Also players never score the same score multiple weeks in a row. There will always be a big score or a crappy one in there to make the price rises quicker or slower than you'd hoped.

Looking at storm 21 at least one of Tom Eisenhuth and The Karma Chameleon will play

Seve, Walters, Olam will be 3 of the 21 to miss out - plus 1 of Kaufusi/Eisenhuth/Kamikamica
