    Who was it that ran without Smith and Farah to start the year last year? Who did you select instead? Tempted to take a risk in that position and go Macca and someone like Granville.

    Liverpool_29 started with some crazy 2 cheap hooker combo last year, and then had problems with his hookers all year.

    Farah definitely down a notch or 2 in the hooker stakes.

    Smith, Segeyaro, McCullough definitely above him. Possibily Lichaa, Granville, Luke as well

    Ah right thanks Milchcow. Makes sense to run with at least one keeper in that position. Least there are multiple combos you can run with this year in that position.

    Looks like there are two tiers of bottom price this year - $134k if they've ever played NRL before, $130k if they haven't. Russell Packer comes back at $211k, while the players the Dragons picked up from ESL are both at $223k (looks like they're guessing rather than going on ESL stats otherwise McCarthy would be a lot more than Masoe)

    I started with seggy and lichaa last year was an awesome combo was ranked 29th after the first round. Then it was downhill from there. Biggest mistakes from last year was not getting mannering, E.T and frizell when they were cheap at the start and pretty much paid top dollar for each. Then they start hitting 40's near the end of the season. Also never owning tedesco or rts put the final nail in the coffin for me.

    Was expecting Shaun Lane to be a bit higher than 262k.  He scored a meat pie most games didn't he, so could be a trap?

    Divide his price by the new magic number and see if it comes to his 2015 average.

    Speaking of centres, I hope there aren't any DPP centres playing in 2nd row like Soliola last year. Kind of boring when there is 1 or 2 must have players in any given position.

    Well Lawrence and Aubusson will probably be CTRs.

    Taukeiaho is listed as a centre on the official Roosters site so that is an option too
