would those score contribute to his price rise this year, or have they been factored in already??

Will not contribute.

Everyone's round 1 BE is going to be their price divided by 9475

At this point scores from last year are irrelevant for future pricing purposes.

Hi All,

I hope you enjoyed your off season.

Looking forward to another good season of fantasy and amusing banter44

I managed to somehow lose weight over Christmas, but in the last 2 weeks on Annual Leave pretty much put it all back on again. I am a hideous monster.

Ahh.. No Smith gives you so much more freedom

Tried to make a relevant team without smith, fifita, surgess, jdb, mannering, tedesco

Hodgson, King
McGuire, Tolman, AFB, Gurgess
Whitehead, Cartwright, Taupau, KBrom, Sione, Stimpson
Norman, Lamb, Elgey, Hingano
Idris, Whare, Scott, Kelly
RTS, Hayne, Slater, Dufty, Jennings

Aside from not having a captaincy option would be a pretty decent team

Hodgson 50, King 30
McGuire 50, Tolman 50, AFB 35, Gurgess 40
Whitehead 50, Cartwright 50, Taupau 50, KBrom 40, Sione 35, Stimpson ?
Norman 50, Lamb 37, Elgey 30, Hingano 30
Idris 35, Whare 30, Scott?, Kelly?
RTS 40, Hayne 40, Slater 30, Dufty?, Jennings?

No captaincy option is a killer with this team

is lamb likely to start? ive got mortimer in that slot for now, who also has a question mark over him. only 4k difference between em

Speaking of Lamb, assuming its he and Hokko who start in the halves who has more upside/potential?

I'd say Lamb purely because of bulk KM potential, small sample size with Hodgko is the worry though

No worries SI, I swallowed a sheep too.

How come they don't give an exact dollar amount remaining in your cap.

I won't dis you too much as you are great at fantasy and I was stalking you in rankings for much of last year.

no smith??

When do you plan to bring him in,
How many trades will that take,
Will you really be able to make those trades to get him,
Who is your captaincy option in the mean time.

Save space, no player has 100s, 10s or 1s in their price and wont all season.

Milne will be in and out of the side, you cant keep Lafai out forever

I'd be far more worried about Duffy to Fullback and Duges to centre than Lafai - Lafai needs multiple injuries.

This!

I haven't been able to use the Team Planner at all since I only have Open Office and not Excel.

@Milchcow, any way around this one lad?

WPS Office works for me.

I want to lock in a couple of gun keepers to start the year - I will most likely more Pearce on but I think he is going to have an amazing year.

I'm going to put a little money on him to win the Dally M.

same 25's at the moment, decent price when you consider Moylan is at 10s

Put it this way. Hodkinson played 23 games last year and is priced according to his average from those games.

Lamb only played 3 games but his priced average is lower than his score in every one of those 3 games (2 of the 3 he played alongside Hodkinson)

Lamb has good base stats - its all kicks and tackles so personally I feel much more confident with Lamb, if he gets the spot.

Good questions Sasha, my old mate.

IMO it's still the first rule of Fantasy/DT to put Cam Smith into your team at the start of the season.

If that happens I'll want Dufty anyway, so costing a trade is the only real risk
