I saw one on Twitter (Quentin TaranTINO Fa’asuamaleaui) which I thought was good

What's Eating Tom Gilbert's Grapes?

Staggs loves a bit of To'a

Wear a Condon to avoid Staines (surely there's a better Staines related pun team name)

What is everyone looking to leave in the bank for kick off? Nothing or around 100k?

Looks like you can build a pretty good starting team this year. I’m personally gonna be keeping close to 100k for any duds and missed cows

I love you and that avatar filth

Lam was ridiculously busy end of last year and I really like what I saw. Played his heart out every game which seemed to translate fairly well into fantasy points.

the comparison that matters most isn't Brooks with/without Benji. Its Brooks as starting half (48) vs Interchange (22)

Priced at 41, that's where the value is, assuming he doesn't get relegated to bench again

Although his stats after getting his starting spot back at the end of 2020 weren't great. Averaged 37 in 7 games (4 as 5/8th and 3 at halfback - Benji was the other half in all 7 games)

Anyone going Koroisau over the likes of McInnes, Cook, Grant at hooker. I'm pretty sure early season last season he was the top fantasy hooker & he also won't play origin & the Panthers play the first bye round. He'll likely play big mins as Kenny probably won't be on the bench.

He played big minutes last year (average 75) so not like he has a heap of room to move.

Do you think he can improve his scoring, or are you just getting him as a bye scorer with big scores?

All good
Thought for a minute there might be a (slightly offended) mega-ofahengaue fan on here

Looks like plenty of value in the 380-500k price range for MIDs. Picking right ones will be tricky.

Lodge: Priced at 29, ave 39 in 40-50 min games, 46 in 40+ min games.

Ah Mau: Priced at 27, ave 41 in 40-50 min games (45.8 in that role in 2019).

Gilbert: Looks good if starting.

BMM: Same as Gilbert.

Ofa: Priced at 31, ave 40 in 40-50 minute games. Jumps to 45 in 50+ min games so if he takes Aloiai's minutes there's definite value.

James: Priced at 34, ave 53 as starting prop. Fitness and minutes a big concern.

Leniu: Will he get more minutes? Huge PPM if so.

Hetherington: Not that keen but seen him mentioned.

Ford: Again, looks good if starting.

There's also guys like Tino, Arrow, Tevaga, Horse who are potentially undervalued if they get the minutes.

Minutes a big question for most of them. For me Ah Mau almost a must-have with Lodge and Gilbert also looking good.

Surely S.I. will have Staines in his Trousers this year ?

He's 1 of the few guns that plays round 13 & can match the scoring of McInnes, Cook & Grant at a cheaper price up to round 13. Started last season on fire scoring 84, 57 & 85 in the first 3 rounds & those 2*80 point scores did not include a try it was mostly base. I think he'll be motivated this year especially after losing the gf so I expect him to fire straight away this year.

Came up with a $9.8m team (no cap remaining)

Grant
McInnes(c), Taumalolo, LAM
Riki, CHN
Brooks, Milford
Averillo, Bird
Teddy, Ttrbo, Niu

JBrailey, Lodge, Liddle, Lam
Watson, Gilbert, Oates, Moylan

Love this logic, tempting.

Looks like a very solid starter team! Sorry for the noob question but who is LAM?
