I think its too late now for those of us who didn't get him last week. It's wishful thinking that he'll hold a spot in the team.

I guess it's how long AReyn lasts again once he comes back.  

True on both counts. Although the only thing that has me still interested is ARey being made of glass.

Cook
Taupau, TPJ
JTurbo, Guerra, Harris
Johnson (c), Cleary
Blake, Roberts
RTS, Ponga, Walker

Koroisau, DCE, Friend, Merrin

Blake and Guerra probably the ones that stick out for me in there.

Anyway that team nets 2150 total points.

I have 5... mind you only picked up Cook today and only picked up Ponga last week

This is my team. Can anyone see anything glaring I should do;

Smith
Lodge Arrow
Murray Whitehead RFM
Croft Carty
Mitchell Kennar
Ted Thompson Ponga

Cook Lichaa Griffin Kikau

Nicholls Croker Havilli Isaako


294K in the bank. Thinking;

A) Lichaa - Macca - leaving 0K
B) Nicholls - TPJ - just one trade
C) B trade + Croft - Doueihi
D) Lichaa - TPJ & Croft - Cleary

I think the side is pretty well balanced but want to increase money making potential. Or if there is anything obvious I'm missing that would be sweet.

My thinking keeps coming back to having smaller squads this year. We've still got to find the cash to bring in at least 17 keepers but have 4 less positions to do it with.
Holding a red dot in waiting for Arey to go down might have been viable in the past but I don't think it is now.

Doesn't Whitehead have a red dot? Maybe you should trade him out...


I like D

Smith and Croft out for Mccullough and SJ?

Yeah yeah, I know it's Smith but SJ is such a massive upgrade over Croft.

D's not bad hey. I just wish Whitehead could get a picture.

A and D are the best looking IMO

If Bird is back this week is he worth a trade in or wait a week and see how he goes?
What were is scores like at the sharks??

I'm kind of spewing that I'm short on SJ instead of Cleary, but Cleary really is just as good and will be more consistent. Upgrades Croft to a keeper but will most likely play origin. Could go DCE but DCE again went missing a little during the game. Was on 50 after like 20 something minutes but then just cruised.

Oh Dear

Surely that's not under the cap??

Just top scoring for positions, ignoring the cap.

Any point bring SJ in now? Or is he long term goal and focus on other value buys

Only a matter of time til SJ pumps out a 30. All halves do it.

Yeah, Croft might do it one day too.
