Not even a close decision, don't ruin your season for 20-30 extra points week 1

Can see Sezer averaging 40 this year but I know what you mean.

From my memory there has always been people complaining about Taupau's minutes and usage.

Epescially round one last year when Barrett used like 3 or 4 interchanges on him alone

Host and Mikaele on the replacement list so far. See what pops up from tomorrows games

I was thinking about Lawrie seems he’ll score well regardless.. or..

I’m thinking Twal and Holland to Mikaele and RTS

Didn't realise Lawrie was that cheap. Added to the list. Yea, dogs look awful Holland might need to go.

Yeah exactly Lawrie looked awesome! I’m hoping Sims comes back to lock pushing Friz back to the second row and the forward rotations don’t change! I’m annoyed at myself for starting with Holland I knew I shouldn’t have

Dogs scored 6 points and had 40 points on them. Do we think that's going to happen every week. Holland plays in a known bad fantasy spot. Do we not just wait and see how it goes?

833 with Arrow, CNK and Dedwards to come. Smashed last year's round 1 by a mile.

Kahu -> Bird looking a possibility.
Napa the other one I might ditch. Only got him for FRF cover, should have grabbed Sironen instead.

737 with Lane,Arrow,Mahoney and CNK to come. Be happy with 900

Kahu scored couple more than Teddy. Surely a keep?


I’m kidding. Jogging that prick on already (to 18-21). That was plum fixture and setup for him to show something in front of his new home fans

I could play Holland at 440k and maybe be lucky if the bulldogs have a good game or I can play Rava at $212 who just proves he can get a good score in a team that was pumped. I’d rather take that extra money from Holland and use it on someone good

To manage his workload and avoid burnout you'll probably see his minutes vary as the season goes on. Don't want your best forward running on empty because he's playing 70 minutes every week.

751 with 4 to play. 900 odd expected I reckon

I was lucky Glasby scored a try this week, I'll take the price rise, but won't be keen to play him again in my 17. Will have a look at what FRF has good value after this round finishes. Might also pick up Lawry for FRF cover.

Pretty on par with a bunch on this forum, not sure where it will land you in the overall ranking as there are so many good scores so far

Already a guy on over 1000, can't tell if he has even finished for the round yet.

Players I’m happy I got:

Vaughan
Fifita
Murray
Morgan
Capewell
Nikora
Rts
Ravalawa
Garner
Kerighan

Players I regret having:

Holland (but reckon it might be a bit hrash)
Macca

Nice that. Wondered where I stood with 798. Only got Arrow and Mahoney left

I’m happy with my lot. Morris and Kahu an error but as pleased as I can remember for years in a round 1.

Early interest/targets: 
- Gillett (I cant see them dropping him from 13. Was their best)
- Staggs (completely dependent on Jimmys health but I think he is class. You can have Bird)
- Burns (biggest surprise packet for me. Manu is overrated custard, but he toyed with him)
- Friend (might be where my spare bank is best spent on the bench; Radley to Friend)
- Mikaele (looks a very serviceable basement price FRF backup - arguably better than Haas)
- Ravalava (I dropped him for Garrick.... yeeeeah)

Medium Term Watchlist (for any drop and grab):
- Crichton
- Taupau
- Matterson
- Ofa/TPJ
- Teddy (although must admit, I’m not sure he’s for me at all this year. Wide berth after WCC and that match has done nothing to convince me otherwise)


We all had everyone in our teams at some point pre-season but RTS the only one that really got away for me, while trotting our bargain buys instead  he was in most of my serious drafts/iterations

Holland just showed you his absolute floor - 25
Not bad at all. I couldn’t pick an attacking player from the dogs, but that is a good floor for a rubbish position
