As I pointed out on FB he has Cartwright + Ah Mau and 56k compared to many who may have CP13 + Packer. I know which combo I think will score better

@Welshy, weigh this up for me.

Do I keep CLaw in the centre or dump him, play Gutherson in my 17? This would allow me to upgrade Eden to Rankin (both NPR's but who has the better value)?

My other option is to keep CLaw, dump Eden for Feeney and bring JNiko in but hesitant to do without without hearing what the NRL says about weak as Pearce first.

I reckon loney has obviously been lurking the rate my team thread

Hahaha, shaddup, I'm drinkin!

Got a bunch of international clients over that came to the bar at 10 for "lunch"... I'd only just opened the doors!

Suffice to say, I think it's going to be a long day as they're still here and don't look like moving or stopping buying me rounds each time they get one for themselves...

Feeney should be in your side regardless mate even if just as an NPR, JNiko should get more games than Eden and score better playing half then Eden on the wing

I would do the second option quite comfortably

Feeney is defs in my side but currently as a half.

I guess the question boils down to who will do better and has better security out of JNiko and Eden?

I can see JNiko going good guns but if it's only for the two weeks that Rooters are pushing for Pearces ban then it's pointless. Eden may do enough to keep Maranta out (Maranta is another that I would like to just die... Die a thousand horrible deaths).

Thoughts?

Thoughts on Paul Carter guys?

Need more than a week to be set on his minutes Willis.

Yeah, it may means that he has a price bump or two that you miss out on or have to pay for but there's a few people to return for the Buns yet mate meaning that he is less than a certainty.

Yeah, same. Makes me feel dirty.

I read an article today where Cartwright reckons he won't be playing 80, probably closer to 60. do you think his still worth it? I was picking him based on 80

For me personally its a no. Burgess x2 still have to come back which should move Surgess back to 2nd Row/Lock. Grevs + Clark have all started in the past in the 2nd row so theres too much going on there for my liking. I would probably take the gamble if he was $130K, but for the extra 40K you kind of want him to be safe in his position. Its definitely not the worst choice ever though.

Okay yeah that's a no brainer.

But looking at his forward pack the only keepers are really Surgess and Merrin, that's 2/10. Surely you want 3 or 4 keepers that you won't need to touch.

Guess you had David Stagg in your team whilst he was at the Broncos

Reports are the Roosters were pushing for 2-4 match ban but I think the NRL are pushing for 8-12. So I'm banking on 6-8 and whilst I was hesitant on JNik I have bought him in. I am a massive Bronco fan and I won't be picking Eden. Reed is apparently named in the Ressies this week for his comeback match from injury so maybe Eden is there on form, but it's too risky for me. I'd move Feeney to WFB and bring in JNik. Trade him out as soon as Pearce is back for TMM or whoever else pops up in the meantime.

Can I ask who your Captain is Milchy?

Looking like Fifita.

Might make a last minute switch to Parker, putting Surgess from 2RF to FRF.

Have ruled out Smith, think they're are good value gun hookers, and don't see Smith rising to unattainably prices
