I was hoping someone would see where I was coming from.

Fuck did he get hammered that night!

Honestly can't see Burr lasting past this or next week

Luke coming back in, Roache to bench bumping Ayshford, IPaP or Blair to lock. With bench of

Ravalawa has the DPP if you need any more centres, but Sivo looks pretty impressive on the surface.

Is one better than the other?

I am going to grab both, Sivo passes the eye test and more like a poor mans Radradra so probably good for a TB but might only get a couple weeks to prove himself.
Ravalawa is probably more like a poor mans Vunivalu, a bit more elusive and has the slightly better job security.

Both you are rolling the dice on, but not a huge amount of options to fill the bench so just hope one can jag a try or 2 and hang around for a bit

Is 188k too much to have left over? Im happy with my team but kinda want to use that to spend on Cricton when/if he loses a bit of coin after the first two weeks

Did you just name the first two Fijian wingers you could think of?

I see them more as a poor man's Koroibete and Nadruku.

Fair enough, who would you lean towards with regards to the alternatives Sele/KamiKamica/Host/Fuiamaono
Slow burn vs job security. Bench forward cows are never that great though, only Simmonsson/Allan left after that

Are they a better option than say Bird who is 75k more and has good job security?

Who pushes Sivo out? Salmon coming in?
They also have both Hoffman and French on their extended bench...

What, they are fijian ???????

I'm taking the punt on Burr. He's bottom dollar and should make some cash. I'll play him in my 17 this week, but will reconsider next week.

To be fair, if French or Hoffman were good enough they wouldn't have gone and bought Ferguson or starting a rookie like Sivo to start the year.
Jennings to come back soon so best case Taikarangi goes and he takes that spot..
I am no eels expert, just thinking that he can't really go any worse than what has been there in recent memory

Well from all accounts Burr played great in the trials (Yeah it's not the same blah blah) and Lisone does have a few penalties in him, I think he spent a bit of time in reserve grade last year?

Lisone strikes me like a Ukuma ta'ai (Spelling?) (Do you remember him?) type of player. Hard runs, tough to take down, but has consistent errors and more importantly gives away a few penalties.

This is the sort of stuff that’s gold from a fan. Shame everyone thinks you’re a dragons supporter

I never knew until now that Harry has a small mole shaped like a rugby ball on his left inner thigh.

I don’t think so. A lot of us seem to have more mods than usual and they won’t all hit, if you’re happy with your 21 then keep the cash

Meghan told me about it months ago.

I've been out of the game a year so I may not be the best advice but I used to have around 50-80k spare to get rid of duds or jump on surprise packets.

Scaling up I'm starting with 200k in the bank. Maybe it's too much I don't know but if the cash doesn't need to be spent, just keep it for a rainy day.

Edwards - Critchon/Tapine
or
Teddy - Lane/Gillet

cant get settled and am trying to decide between

a) Kapow + bird

b) tolman/twal + gillett

*bird 18-21 gillett would be 14-17

what do you guys reckon? also already have fifi
