Chewie wrote:My latest draft

Smith (McInnes)
Gurgess, Prior (Ofa, Gray DPP)
Surgess, Buhrer, Sione (Hess, Capewell, Stimpson)
Norman, Moses (Mortimer, nuffy)
Idris, Hurrell (Kelly, MCK DPP)
Hayne, RTS, Slater (Pythian, Drew DPP)

Please note:
- a few DPPs for flexibility
- Sione could swap easily with MCK (save a trade)
- Mortimer in the halves if he starts at hooker
- Players in bold I definitely want to have in the team

I think I have a good starting 17 with these options

Thanks mate. The theory re Maloney is his output should improve with no Ennis directing the attack & no Barba at the back stealing try assists. Either Holmes or J. Bird at f/b don't have the speed or footwork to run the Barba set play so there will be more responsibility on Maloney & Townsend to get more involved in attack. Hopefully this improves Maloney's consistency.
Also I just read on sc addicts that the Sharks/Segeyaro deal is on & that Segeyaro could be a Shark sometime next week. I was keen on Prior but this will mean less minutes for him as I assume Segeyaro will play 80 mins so there will be an extra forward on the bench. I'm not sure how accurate this news is though.

Milchy had previously estimated 254k unless he gets an artifical bump or superleague stats come into it

Think it would have been about $250k on last year's NRL scores, but a lot more than that on ESL scores, and somewhere in between on a combination of the two...so in other words, no idea.

Hey mates!  

Im working my way through this thread, good to see the veterans, the new blood, the spreadsheet/stats gurus (and of course the big softie ) all back in force.

I'm up to page 20 and I don't think I've seen MAUBS mentioned once. Is the trap finally over in 2017?
