Holy shit, this is my current team. Some slightly different reserves, but 17/17 playing players identical.

Mine team is far superior. 7 of the 17 are different and 5 of the NPRs

Thoughts on upgrading Mcguire to Tofu?

Actually 4k short lol

1 cow out of the reckoning (Capewell) & new cow on the horizon (Cotric). Cheers Milch.

Capewell was unlikely to stay there anyway once Barba and Feki came back.

That's the upgrade I've made.

Another thing on McGuire vs Tofu. Would you just downgrade to Kromwich/Faufusi whoever gets named and use the money elsewhere?

I like Harris and should be a 55 point player but gets moved around too much, hopefully that stops with Scott,Blair, Chambers in or covering ctrs and Croft/Munster/Cronk playing or covering halves.

Quick question.

If a player is listed at FRF and is named in the 2nd Row for R1 will they update them to DPP before Round 1 starts?

I have almost a man crush on Tofu but didn't realise he was a touch off 500k. That's a lot of coin but I don't think he's in danger of moving around now with cover you've mentioned. Will the fact he's going to Warriors mean anything like reduced minutes? Is there prior players that have gunned it on the last year when advertised that they moving on next season?

Yes 100%

Is it a bad idea to not have a recognised gun there?

I chase guns because I try and bank points as early as possible but the obv alternative is value. If you can get them all to that region price wise then your end of season squad is likely better than mine due to higher team value. It's sound reasoning and altogether the stronger long game play for depth of quality. It's just a question of how many points you give up doing it.

If McGuire averages 55 and Fifita averages 60 and they are both putting in the odd 80-90 score pre origin you are really up against it.

When origin hits I will have easy downgrade opportunities with Fifita to any of those 3 you've named. Will you have as easy a time upgrading? Maybe...

I think overall points are most important but value runs a decently close second. With value you have to get it right. With guns they usually pick themselves. The silver bullet is balance. Not just guns with rookies but guns with <300k region guys that make the value the likes of Saifiti or JWH will, and beyond.

People like Sironen basically

Cheers Greenmachine.

After reading the last 10 or so pages I'm really considering Brailey, due to a lack of money makers in the front row/2nd row. But really want to keep McInnes, just a good vibe. Might need to make a McInnes/Brailey team.

Absolutely GM. I hate seeing teams running with Fifi as I never start with him and always jealous. I'm just a CS9 Surgess JDB guy and Fifi gets hard to fit after them. This site has turned me around on Sironen. Awful player but good value as 5th 2RF

Ponga won't even start. Bowen and GGM ahead of him surely

I'd wait until Tuesday before making claims like that.

You guys can have Sironen. If in his 5th year he decides to pump out anything decent PPM wise well I congratulate you and see you all in 2018.

By the way is anyone else annoyed by the bloody double spaces in some of the new additions names? Eg. Jai Field, Moses Suli.

What year was James in last year?

Funny you should say, I've just today switched from Cam Smith /Farah team to Brailey.

I mentioned silver bullet but there's gold too and it's also-guns or value guns that are cheaper but match all the big boys for points

Players like McInnes and TTurbo. If they match Cmith and Tedesco for points then big advantage to owners of them. I'm going Turbo over Ted, but can't bring myself mcinnes over smith until origin. His price at that point may make that a horrible decision. Wouldn't be surprised if I'm back to building a Smith/McInnes team come Tuesday!

TTurbo actually averages quite a lot more at centre than at fullback. Any reasoning to suggest he's undervalued?

I don't have the minerals to run a no CS9 team but I don't mind this*

McInnes (VC), Brailey
DSaifiti, Gurgess, Wallace Hoare
DeBelin (C), ET, McGuire, SMAt, Sironen Stimpson
Norman, Cleary,Lamb, Elgey
Idris, Scott/Kelly, Scott/Kelly, Cotric
TTurbo, RTS, Hayne, Phythian, Jennings

*DeBelin + McInnes would need to carry on great avg from starting stints last year.

On second glance, saving money on no CS9 and Fifita still doesn't give you enough cash to turn mid rangers with potential into guns so not worth the risk.

only way TTurbo is undervalued is how badly his ankle injury affected him IMO so a toss of the coin because no stats back up him turning elite at FB
