Been flirting with both. I think Max King has more of an upside.

KBrom and Kaufusi are pretty much 80min players. So that’s the 2RF on lock.

I think Max fits into the rotation @ prop and gets about 20-25 mins.

Not many minutes left with an 80 min hooker and Smith getting 35 mins and starters Finucane 60ish, JBrom 50ish and NAS 40ish. Just 55 minutes between 3 other bench spots, so 15-20 mins each and low scores.

Sorry Camo123. I’m on my phone so missed your very warm welcome!

People expecting rudolf to make the bench? Have seen him in a few teams

Capewell starting second row and yeo at lock outs him in my side for the slow burning but reliable stream of points and cash

I’m warming to TKO. Don’t see him goalkicking though but if he can keep his form from last year before his injury he’s a decent pick. A few tries but seems to have a nose for it

Tactically wanting to win the comp and also having H2H focus I want to start without haas but it’s so hard to see value there currently. TLT will hopefully help us out a touch

How many minutes would you see Musgrove getting then. Might become a must have cheapie at $246k. Already has 9% ownership.

 Musgrove is in my team currently in my emergencies, he could get 30mins when Twal comes off or he could get closer to 40mins. I guess it really depends who the other prop is off the bench.

Thought I'd best contribute instead of lurking.

Thoughts on Levi? he's priced 25k more than Koroisau and when playing 60mins+ in 2018 averaged 44 and then 48.6 in 2019. Behind Manly's pack could see him do well while he continues improving.

In fairness Koroisau scores well 60mins+ 51.3 in 2018 and 44.7 in 2019 (only 3 games 42.8 in 50mins+) No stats behind my thinking other than my conformation biase that he won't score as well.

In my advancing years I have come to enjoy the finer things in life therefore I don’t mind paying The Haas tax

I had him last season, had to trade him out as he wasnt getting the minutes needed to make him worth keeping.

You had everyone last season.

Who gets Tetevanos minutes this season at Roosters - Tupouniua?

He was actually in my team.... not just pre-season

Levi keeps going in and out of my team. I think he's a good pick by himself, but having a four hooker bench makes my squad too unbalanced and Friend/Koro/BBrail/Grant all better options. If the Grant deal doesn't come off then I'll probably pick him.

What’s your team looking like currently?

Cook
Haas Carrigan
TLolo Lowe Stimson
Moses Mann
Lomax Cheapie (Milne hopefully)
Papman Isaako Simonsson

Friend, Koro, Grant, Luai
Bench: cheap shite (whatever TLT dishes up. Musgrove etc)


As I said. I’m putting Luai in 14-17 instead of Brailey, purely to get 6 guns instead of 4-5

Bench Liu, Collins, Aubs/Crichton, Verillis/Butcher

Liam Knight is still a good shout I reckon if you think he will get 50mins which could happen especially if we get an injury or 2 in our pack he could even get closer to 55mins.

If Knight gets 50mins going off a 0.93ppm last year he’d get around 46-47 points a game, now that is  an increase of 7-8 points on his current price and also he plays round 12 if you hold him that long.

He’s going  to be more of an enforcer for us without Sam and I think he will only get better and bust more tackles and get more tackle breaks. Knight may even go closer 1ppm as well.

Taukaieho averaged 44.9 last season and is priced at 47 and Robbo likes 4 forwards off the bench generally so I don’t see any upside in him and I think he won’t average 50.

I reckon Knight will get up to around the same price Tauk is after say 6 weeks.

Re Fotuaika he seems to score better I’ve noticed when coming off the interchange. When he starts he doesn’t score quite as well from the analysis I did. I think just by a small margin that Knight is the better pick.

Butcher is sure to get a spot, averaged 48 minutes and 45 points last season.

I won’t be starting with Cook as I wanna see how he scores first behind a team that has lost lots of grunt in our pack Souths are gonna have to play a bit differently surely and how that affects Cook’s scoring I have no idea.

If Carrigan gets 40mins he’s only gonna average 35 which is 5 points above his price currently.

I really want Carrigan too but I have just pencilled Knight back in to partner Haas. I think this coming season Knight will go to another level and his PPM is really really good so as I said above if he gets 50mins which is definitely possible he should average around 47 which is 8 points units above his starting price.

No Fifita in your team? David Fifita if he gets 60mins should average around 53 I reckon and be a keeper. You think he’s gonna get less than those 60mins?

Rumours going around that Curran could start at the Warriors. Yet another of these hopeful messages that will not magically appear on TLT? Anyone heard anything?

Ive seen similar but maybe we just read the same things.

He’d wanna have improved his defence, last time I saw him play in first grade he was a missed tackle making machine.

He was just named in a rep team wasnt he, which tends to be encouraging. With Jazz out there will be a spot open at lock for the first month.

Surely we can knock a heap of tackles made off the Souths players this year, no Surgess or Gurgess means 10 less errors and penalties to defend.
