I reckon I made 3-4 changes max

So Whitehead is definitely the 80 min man in the Raiders backrow along with Papa?

Nothing is definite

People in league 1 (cos you blokes are the ones to beat) how much money do you have left in your cap with your chosen team?

I'd say he is definitely 60min but yeah there is still Soli and Tapine to figure out. I'm keeping Whitehead but I'm basing that on what I think he can get in 60min not 80 (based entirely on wild guesses and my desire to hold Welshy accountable for all my other terrible choices by blaming him if Whitehead doesn't work).

I'm currently sitting on a massive $1,000 (was $0 before team lists) but not comfortable with that and will probably try and find a few extra thousand just in case I miss what appears to be a good cow. I don't like much more than 25-30k in the bank though as $$$ are points.

Be interested to know what "red dots" people are sticking with.

Presumably Brent Lawrence and Avua'a, but will the green dot temptation just get too much for both?

I might play packer as 4th prop for no other reason but easy trade to Lawrence (if needed)

I'm currently considering running with BLaw and JEdwards*

*Surely he is good enough to work his way into that Tigers team! Maybe I'm just underrating them, but when I see both Sironen and CLaw starting... I... Well I'm not sold.

Need to find 31k somehow. Hmm

I was right about Solly last year but whitehead is a different beast in terms of play and more risk due to him being almost double what Solly started at last year and not being dual in the CTR

I'll take my lumps if I'm wrong

What chance I have to trade out Snowden cos he gets picked for origin?

He won't, well down the pecking order

Mmnnn team lists have got me thinking of changes. Peats is staying with no bench hooker in 17. I changed Seggy to Hodgson last week but now I'm not sure again no Penrith hooker named on bench and Austin on bench confuses me. Then there are guys named to start that I just don't know if they will be there next week like Henry and Green. I also hate the teams who named 19+ players you just know they are going to stuff you up and hour before kick off. Guys like Lawrence Efwards Avau who weren't named but figure to play at some stage are not making my team this week as they are good downgrades when they find fitness and come in. I did notice a few teams named less out and out props on the bench then in past years will be interesting how they fair

Help with this one folks...

Could drop Claw or BJ to Bhana and do Hodgson to CS9 and have 50k odd spare. No brainer right? Feel like taking few week punt on Leilua and not sure what will happen with Tigers pack

Anyone know where Tom Symonds is lurking?? Burher due back from a busted jaw in a few weeks.......someone please confirm Nathan Green is covered in hairs please!

Playing NSW Cup this week, alongside Pita Godinet!! back from England

Wow Sisa dropped and Edrick Lee made the side??

Who has more potential upside (rank them, 1st-3rd)
Taupau or Merrin or MCooper
Ctr: fergusson vs croker
Frf: ah mau vs Vaughan vs Jtrbo

Also do you think it'd be better to have Abbey in your side and hope he plays or have Richie Kennar?

It was never a competition between Eddie and Sisa, was always between Sisa and Rapa and Rapa outperformed him in the trial.

Edit: It also looks like he has a combination/Bromance with BJ so maybe that went in his favour as well

Need a nuffie in 2rf to go with Saifiti. Just get Bhana and be done with it? Having 2 cash cows in the same position from the same team makes me feel very uneasy
