I think I might be happy with my team. 41K leftover. Someone mentioned all we pretty much need is Lussick to score about 40 and it probably makes it worth it. 35 tackles, 20 meters, 1 tb will do thanks.

Lussick
Papa Klemmer
Barnett Yeo Murray
Williams Cleary
Blake Dugan
Kennedy Ponga Pappy

I am quietly confident Knights will do the Bunnies and Ponga will have his hands all over it.

Yeah, I've been thinking in perhaps swapping Ted out for Ponga.

Yeah, I'm thinking of loading up on more Raiders. I think they will destroy the Sharks.

Slight team mod and have $0k left. The sign is being taken.

Maybe like Flanagan, Seibold will end up being suspended from coaching... actually, wait a minute...

Good time to be suspended at least

Just out of curiousity, I've looked at ownership of the 20 teams that have been posted here so far.
(Taken the last post, where people have posted a team more than once).

Take it with a grain of salt (as it accounts for less than a third of teams entered, and each may well have changed following posting), but here's a insight into a little bit of popular ownership:

Don't look if you don't want to know:

Just the top few for each category

HOK:
65% Lussick
15% Koro

FRF:
65% Papalii
25% Klemmer
20% JFH

2RF:
50% Bateman, Yeo, Matterson
35% Brown
35% Murray

HLF:
65% Cleary
20% Moses
15% Munster, Williams, Tracey

CTR:
40% Croker (wow!)
35% Blake
30% Ramien
25% Crichton

WFB:
50% Paps
45% Allan
30% Tedesco
25% Gutho
20% Cotric, Kennedy

New team;

Lussick
Papa Klem
Yeo Brown Matto
Cleary Williams
Croker Ramien
Ponga Cotric Rapa

Honestly hope Souths fans are doing OK. I would hate for this to come out about my club and players and I can't imagine how you're feeling.

Kinda destroys the argument of "Sports people shouldn't be considered role models" when Sam Burgess is someone a lot of adults look up to and admire including NRL level players.

Funny timing isn’t it to bring out on the eve of finals, there are two sides to every story let’s see what happens after court and investigations.

Certainly very disappointing re Sam if it’s all true very very poor.

I’m worried about this de-railing us come Sunday.

Cmon Wayne keep the boys up for it, send them into social media lockdown.

I can only imagine the scenes of reporters in our players faces at Redfern this morning.

With any luck, this will actually work - https://footystatistics.com/matchcentre.php

Will reveal everyone's captain as of kickoff in the game tonight, and then reveal players/scores as they play through the round.

Should also update the rank live (well every couple of minutes)

HOLY! I think I am in love. Have loaded up on Raiders and come up with a team that has 0K... think I am done.

Final Team:

Lussick
Papa Klemmer
Barnett Yeo Bateman
Cleary Williams
Blake Naden
Rapana Ponga CNK

So I want to bring in 1 of Wighton or J. Bateman...Wighton seems the better pick & more scoring potential vs the Sharks. Thoughts.

Your little descriptor should read GOD instead of Fanatic

The Bunnies are going to fisted by V'Landys and Co something severe for this.

Very interesting timing with the grub Fat Richo leaving the club, riding off into the sunset with breifcases full of cash. He knew what was coming.

That's why Sammy Boy was 'medically' put out to pastuer.

They all knew. The executive, the CEO, the club doctors. Even Rusty Crowe.

And Sammy is still there 'coaching' under Skeletor Bennet.

Scum.

As someone who owned Bateman in the back end of last year... he was very disappointing. Wighton was electric and in everything. Felt like he needed to win.. wanted to win.. just had that fierce about him. Against a team like the Sharks, with more ball in hand he could be huge.*

I have gone Williams however.

Surprised Barnett didnt make the cut.

Jeeze if Cleary has a low game there will be a lot around here feeling it.

To be honest, this happens all the time. Every year there seems to be scandals that get leaked right before important games.

I'm more worried about Wayne shifting his focus to QLD to be honest. We saw what happened when Seibold shifted focus to Brisbane. Different situation obviously because Wayne isn't leaving, but I can see it as a distraction.

With no Haas or McInnes in finals, Cleary is by far the highest averaging player still available. You pay the price for him but with double points for captaincy it seems the safest and on average best move.

New team:

Lussick
J. Papalii, JFH
Matterson, Yeo, Murray
Cleary (c), Wighton
J. Croker, Blake
Pappy, Rapana, Allan

Have you seen the bunnies play lately?
