Would he be more worried that if JFH scores a 35-40 in the first game then there’s no guarantee Siro goes above that? Could even go under?

Ah, woops, had in my head that Sironen played first.

I'd just play JFH then. No Yeo, might play bigger mins.

Centres I've Owned:

Lomax
Shibasaki
Wiliame
Capewell
Crichton
Averillo

Been lucky to have the 3 in bold from round 6 on

Had Brad Parker in my team for awhile and I was ashamed. Still a HIA merchant.

filth's centre nightmare:

1 - Lomax - Shibasaki (Wiliame on the bench)
2 - Watkins - Shibasaki (sold Lomax when he was named on the wing. Genius level move)
3 - Capewell - Shibasaki (played Wiliam at WFB and copped a DNP for Shiba)
4 - Capewell - Crichton
5 - Capewell - Crichton (the first time I Had the same pair for a fortnight)
6 - Best - Crichton (it didn't last long)
7 - Averillo - Crichton (moved Best to WFB)
8 - Niu - Crichton
9 - Niu - Crichton (It happened again!)
10 - Niu - Crichton
11 - Aubusson - Crichton
12 - Aubusson - Crichton
13 - Aubusson - Crichton
14 - Aubusson - Crichton (4 weeks in a row but this time it was goodbye Aubs )
15 - Peachey - Crichton
16 - Peachey - Crichton

Going on that record, there is no chance those two centres play out the year

Your centre pairings seem to be increasing their stability as the weeks pass.
Maybe you'll get 5 weeks out of Peachey & Crichton, then lose both for Round 20...

Kind've funny looking at that in retrospect and recalling how in the Crichton vs Best selection debate it looked like Crichton was the bad option.
Definitely something to be said for a CTR that plays every week and puts up a 35+ average

On the Tigers (not fantasy related), with Mbye going to fullback I'm surprised they didn't give Talau a run in the centres, being his preferred position, and he went OK when he got a run there earlier.

Although also not sure Doueihi would deserve dropping, last week aside he'd been in good form recently

I was thinking the same thing. Talau has easily looked most comfortable in the Centres, and they certainly rate him going forwards.
Considering they've decided to play Mbye at fullback, and not to extend Benji another year, I wonder why they don't just put Doueihi into the 6 (like they've said he will play next year) - may as well find out how well he goes now, before November trading madness...

I have been extremely lucky with my centres this year.

R1: Lomax, Aubbs, Williame
R2: Lomax, Aubbs, Williame
R3: Lomax, Williame, Aubbs (leave)
R4: Lomax, Capewell, Crichton, Williame
R5: Lomax, Capewell, Crichton, Williame
R6: Lomax, Crichton, Farnworth
R7: Lomax, Talau, Crichton, Farnworth
R8: Lomax, Talau, Crichton, Farnworth(WFB)
R9: Lomax, Niu, Crichton, Farnworth(WFB)
R10: Lomax, Niu, Farnworth, Crichton(WFB)
R11: Lomax, Crichton, Farnworth, Niu
R12: Lomax, Crichton, Niu, Farnworth(WFB)
R13: Lomax, Crichton, Niu, Farnworth(WFB)
R14: Lomax, Crichton, Farnworth
R15: Lomax, Crichton, Farnworth
R16: Lomax, Crichton, Farnworth

So Lomax has been there all year, I got Crichton in R4 and Farnworth in R6… So since then I have had my centres set.

Over that time Aubbs became Crichton, Walters became Capewell who then became Farnworth. E.Katoa became Talau who was later traded to Fermor and Niu made it in via Drinkwater and then was later traded to Cotric.

I can’t believe the difference this year has been picking a CTR who didn’t even stay in his preseason position after 1 game

Wasn’t he a centre all through the under grades and only got the FB gig because he said he wanted to play FB?

Best centre to replace Latrell? Can afford anyone, so price is irrelevant.

Current list, in order of preference:

Peachy - only gone below 35 once since round 6, starting again at lock, may want to keep trying him there for next year even if Arrow is back (possibly wishful thinking).

SCrichton - great draw, high ownership, & annoyed I didn't get him earlier when I had a straight decision between him & Talau

Staggs - highest averaging fit centre (apart from Lomax who I have), goal kicking, and basically the Broncos only attacking spark along with Fifita. No easy games for the Broncos at the moment, but they should at least be competitive against the Titans and Cowboys surely?

Graham - averaging 43.5 at centre this year, excellent recent form, games against the Storm & Roosters are concerning.

Thoughts please & anyone else I'm missing?

Seriously considering captain Matterson. With Brown going down Moses will be demanding 90% of the ball. If the reports are also true that BA wants Moses to run more Matterson could be the beneficiary. If Moses has the defence second guessing there could be a lot of gaps to run through all night.
