    It's scary, but probably better if he plays the last 60.

    Broncos generally send a lot of attack through the middle so should put up a decent score playing 50 minutes regardless of when that 50 minutes occurs

    Is Smat in the centres a waste?

    It seems most are running 4 rookie centres.

    Moving Smat to bench in 2rf add another rookie centre.

    Pros: frees up cash. Maybe more room for cash growth assuming you choose the right centres.

    Cons. Risky as ferk.

    i kept smats in the 2nd row because there are more cows in the ctrs to choose from.

    there is only winterstein as a second row cashie. you can always move smats to ctrs in the future but its better to take advtange of whats on offer.

    Cheers for the feedback.

    Lichaa will play 80 mins and consistently score around 50, I'm looking for him to improve his attacking game to get a slight boost.

    Alternative to Wallace? 310k or less.

    Coote is a risk because last year he was terrible, but with Ponga breathing down his neck, I'm hoping he will step up to his best this year.


    Really difficult a few guys that are more than $310k are JWH, B. Lawrence, D. Saifiti, M. Prior. For less than that, S. Boyd potentially or you could move Yates up and look at 2RF guys like K. Bromwich or a rookie like S. Stone.

    SMat best in 2RF to make room for rookies in CTR

    I had the exact same S. Mata'utia in the 2RF = Talakai, S. Mata'Utia in the CTRs = Winterstein. I went with Talakai.

    I feel in part Honeysett is to blame for introducing you to memes, and I dislike him for it.

    Is it better just to run with Pritchard knowing he'll get 80 this week and probably score 35-50 and maybe make the spot his own?

    I've got Smat in the centres... Because I expect most fantasy coaches to risk the cheapies and fall flat on their faces :pp:

    Not a fan of any FRF around $300k tbh.

    So I have downgraded JBrom to Woods, and upgraded Wallace to JWH.

    Good move?

    Just on this, Lamb is definitely a Cashcow. He is priced at 28 points this year, his lowest score last year was 30 points. With an average of 37 points. After what would be a majority of the pre-season and rumours Hodkinson was still struggling with the injury he should make a decent amount of KMs each game and he does a decent amount of tackling as well.

    Cheers for the feedback re Smat.

    Moving him to 2rf bench and bringing in Kelly (already had Talakai).

    Leaves me reserves of Smat, Siro, Kbrom, Lamb. Also could chose Kaufisi and brailey

    My next questions is, am I better having that 'depth' on the pine? or knock one down and have money in the bank? currently I have $0

    I definitely like JWH over Wallace. While I know others don't rate Woods he usually starts the year off strong and is a decent pick up. I like the moves.

    HOK: Common pair

    FRF: Only issue here would be Leota. he was getting something like 16 minute average last year and scored around 14 points. Just with the Panthers pack he is 4th or 5th in their prop rotation and unlikely to get more than 20 minutes a game. I would rather Yates here and then Stone in 2RF to cover yourself if one goes big and the other doesn't.

    2RF/HLF/CTR/WFB: No bad picks at all. Nothing that would warrant a change. The only out there pick is Ash Taylor and with Roberts playing HOK primarily to start the season he could have a huge season start.


    Thanks Random, i was a little worried about having so many knights forwards in my team. but i might pull the trigger on stone.

    Personally I really like the depth you seem to have. However I think it is better to have some cash in hand incase anyone goes bust and you need a replacement or an injury strikes someone like K. Brom/Siro/S. Mat and there isn't anyone you can replace them with who are cheap.

    If you are confident he can do it beyond just this week then yes.
