    $123,000 to spend, any ideas on where is best?

    Smith, McCullough
    Kaufusi, JWH, Perrett, Yates
    DeBelin, Surgess, ET, Whitehead, Sironenm Sele
    CWalker, Lamb, Jacks, Elgey
    Idris, SMat, Moga, Suli
    RTS, Slater, Cotric, Hayne, Abbey

    Nice team welshy! Can you maybe upgrade Yates or strengthen your front row?
    Are you thinking about Crichton?

    Cheers milchow, sorry, hadn't been on for a little bit.
    Yeah was thinking along those lines, shame really. He was going so well!
    Is the Moses thing confirmed or is it just speculation at the moment?

Broncs have had by far and away the toughest opening opposition in the comp in the first 6 rounds (5 of the 6 genuine premiership contenders). Thus his scores have not been great. Not to mention he shares the field with another highly rated half who demands to get his hands on the ball as much as him.

    As we know he will be the dominant half for the next 6 rounds (at least) before Hunt's return and with now far easier games against the Titans, Rabbits, Panthers, Sea Eagles, Tigers, Warriors as his next six, he will surely have more explosive attacking scores.

    Considering the majority of his stats come from attacking plays (tackle breaks, line breaks, line break assists) as opposed to defensive stats (tackles, kick metres) this upcoming opposition (most with some pretty flimsy defense) has him primed for a considerable increase in scores.


    Following on from my quote about Milford I think we will see the opposite happen to SJ (ie drop in points) in his next 6 games. Whilst talking about the Broncos first 6 games as being tough when you look at SJ and the Warriors only 2 of the 6 teams hey have played sit in the top 8 and have any real substance to them. More importantly the Warriors have only left NZ once in those 6 games. Looking at the Warriors next 6 Raiders, Storm, Panthers, Roosters, Dragons, Broncos, attacking stats will be limited and defenses will be much tighter with this opposition. Also, believe it or not, the Warriors will have to leave NZ to play matches.

    Maybe, though SJ normally carves us up and I think i could make an argument for why he would score well against Roosters, Panthers, Broncos and Dragons. I mean the thing I agree that could have an impact is travel and thus having shorter recovery + training time between games and such, but I think it might just be wishful thinking on my part and will more than likely continue scoring high all year round.

    Tempting but he has an absolute shocker in him, but yeah, take your point that the chances of him having one of those 20's is reduced and the MASSIVE score chances are increased.

    Speculation.

    There have been reports this week that he's "definitely" on his way soon. But also reports that he might renege on Parra and stick with Tigers.

    I think I'll get rid of him, bit disappointed, but he frees up a lot of cash..

    Stuck on whether or not I should bring in Leilua or Croker this week.

    Croker is one of my favourite players, but Leilua has that high ceiling and last years stats showed he had the better average.

    Either one will be a keeper.

    Pls help.

    If you think BJ will average more get him because he is cheaper mate

    I'd rather Croker his year but that is just a gut feel

    I'd choose Croker, but purely because of my bias. Last weeks press conference Sticky mentioned that Croker wasn't able to practice goal kicking all week so it sounds like he's still not quite right, contrast that with BJ who's fit and firing and the sensible choice seems to be Leilua.

    On this year's form alone you'd have to say Vaughan but Fifita is a 'proven' gun..

    Cheers yeah, I'm thinking Fifita, mostly because he has been a proven gun in the past and he is a tiny bit cheaper lol
    If I go that way I should have enough for J. Bromwich next week too which would give me a team of this for next week. Then no more trades for a while lol

    A. McCullough, (B. Hampton)
    A. Fifita, J. Graham, (J. Bromwich)
    E. Whitehead, P. Gallen, S. Mannering (J. McGuire)
    S. Johnson, C. Norman
    J. Leilua, J. Idris
    J. Tedesco, R. Tuivasa Sheck, J. Hayne (K. Ponga)

    Hopefully trade up Ponga to Dugan or similar when he reaches his peak and Hayne to the bench lol
