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.

I just had a Tuiaki rant written before I decided to check that he wasn’t Fijian. Congratulations NZ

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

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.

I may throw him on the bench and hope I'm wrong, worse case he scores okay and may stick around long enough to eek out 100k

but can't see the role for him, IPap, Tevaga and sadly Blair both better options at lock. Then Harris has 1 edge locked down with plenty of options before him there. Blair could go into FR rotation and Lisone drops?

Roache could be the key, if Tevaga is seen more as a Luke replacement than lock and Roache disappears, Burr may carve a role but I'm not sure

It's Kearney though so who the fuck knows, could have Ashyford as a run on prop! The Pillock!

@Krump I know! The fuck like! Sure more knews I was a Warriors tragic!

Let's gone WARRIORS

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.

OH MY FUCKING GOD J B FUCKING G

Mate, very good to see you. You should check your Inbox from like a fucking year ago

Whats Tapine minutes looking like at the raiders.

a) Kapow + bird

b) tolman/twal + gillett

*bird 18-21 gillett would be 14-17

what do you guys reckon? also already have fifi

Personally I'm going for the potential money makers, so all of Tolman, Twal and Gillett. And Bird also at this stage.
The best players for me are those priced below keepers that become keepers.

Some will argue Taupau has potential to earn some $ too though.

Done tnkering for now, I’m sleeping on this team

Macca
Fifita Surgess
Arrow Garner Murray
Munster Morgan
Holland Nikora
Edwards CNK Ravalawa

Mahoney Brown Radley Niukore

Bird Garrick Keighran Sivo

Leaves me 134k itb

2. Does Hodgson play 80minutes?

3. Does McInnes play 80 minutes?

@SpotTheOzzie
This post seems to have been lost in the TLT leading to first game frenzy.

So firstly it is good to see you still posting here. You are alive and have valuable advice.

1. or Sivo. I don't trust that Eagles backline.
2. When Havili comes on Hodgson could move into 2nd row and play 80.
3. don't know but priced higher the Hodgson for a reason. Macca a option??

Cheers for the replies fellas

Actually that's you're choice of swim suit in your avatar doing that.

Connor Watson played 4 games at fullback in 2017.

Sores of 69 (with a try), 48, 21, 60.
In those 4 games he made 33 TBs, and averaged 50. Something to consider.


Mahoney last year averaged 34 from 58mins. Even at 65-70mins there doesn't appear to be huge upside? 70mins has him a tick over 40 which is probably an ok result.

I think Tolman and Gillett out score Tapow and Sivo/Rava long term but who knows if they score a try with 3 TBs in rd1 it could blow it right up, the positive to that is they still are in your 21 and you make the cash.

He feels like he has a bit of improvement in him that isn't just based on extra minutes. Really impressive in the trial I watched as far as picking up extra attacking stats goes potentially.

Most of us umming and ahhing now but price v potential will get the better of me I reckon and I'll stick with him. Those Mahoney as primary Hooker teams we've seen though definitely have balls of steel.

If you're happy with your squad bank the cash. Got 133k banked atm

welp, it's definately the night before kick-off, stuck in the annual panic-mode loop of "Aaand there! this is the team I'm going into the weekend with -









- but what if instead i do..."

Hello back again just changed my team about 100 times.

I've 385k too much? Could turn mahoney to Friend. Any suggestions?

I’ve just thrown this team together.. any glaring problems?

Burr's probably out of a full strength Warriors team, but how likely is it that all 10 of the pack/bench are fit to play on any given week. We've already seen that he's first reserve to come into the back row.

80, in the weeks he's not suspended.

Seeing Napa has made me realise I have no FRF cover! Suspect a lot of others here are in the same boat from what I've seen.
