he didn't play Round 1 last year. Might be confusing him with the Sharks winger

Yeah NRLF fucked up in week 1.

Are we going to carry on this year with the Thursday/Friday night First Try Scorer thread?

LAM or Tolman. So hard to choose.

Safety pick: Tolman

Master Stroke or Disaster pick: LAM

I have both at the moment

I'm going to put a bet on SJ to win Dally M this year. $34.

Can someone please rate which of these options is better:
(1) Tedesco + Hughes + Sironen
(2) B Morris + Hughes + Taupau
(3) B Morris + RTS + Cleary

Basically which position to put last gun into: WFB, FRF (2nd gun with Fifita) or HLF
Other players in each position are CNK, Fifita and Morgan + Keighran/Brown for HLF

Keighran vs Brown for round 1 and why.

I am sure a number of us have them both in our squads.

If Ethan Lowe is named on the bench, he would come on right edge and push Surgess to the middle right? Any chance Surgess plays 80 minutes with a chunk of it in the middle? Even more likely for the first three weeks. Who's on the Surgess train?

I'll say (3) because I like Cleary but Hughes not so much.

I've seen most on here say Brown, but I'm leaning towards Keighran assuming he has GK, also kicks in play.

Also, if Cook averages 50 in the first three rounds he loses $100k.
I suppose that doesn't matter so much if he's going to sit there the whole season but it's good for those who don't start with him knowing they could pick him up a lot cheaper than his current price at some stage during the season.

Already done it. $34 at NZ Tab too

Yep, my thoughts too.

Brown could have that single play that nets him loads of points but Warriors vs dogs at home they should score a bunch of tries so 8-10 points from Keighran just from GK if he gets the tee. Seems a safer option. His defence is better than Brown's from what I've seen too so maybe fewer missed tackles?

Option 1

Has burned me the last 3 years I've had him. Sick of his empty promises.

Too much emotion having his brothers in the team. Always first into a fight, and first to do something illegal to pump his team up.

I'd love to have him in my team in real life, but he is just so risky fantasy wise. Too many suspensions.

Also coming off a lot of family issues, plus new coach.

At no point last year did Cook go 3 consecutive games without a 60.

Even if he starts slow and drops some cash, he will probably still be the top scoring hooker over the first month. Just depends how much cash you can make up by ditching him and whether you can put that cash to good use

I am very keen on the Sam Burgess. Just know he has had such promise before and never fulfilled it >.< DPP is very nice.

I am leaning to Keighran at this point in time. Looks to have more base points in him with his in game kicking, hopefully goal kicking. Also most have Brown, so could be a nice kick if Keighran outscores him.

I like option 3 as well.

As MTB said, Tolman could be the safer option; however, LAM probably more likely to punch out 50's. Also more likely to punch out 40's. Tolman if you want a safe 45pt player who may net you a 50. LAM if you want some bang for your buck who can easily hit 50's. I currently have Fifi, Tolman, Taupau but would love LAM in there somewhere just for the chance that he does go boom
