Welcome back fam. If I have to burn 6 trades at centre due to injury again this season it will be my last. Was going to start with Latrell this year but have not seen any indication he is training the house down and it seems there are some juicier prospects i.e. Averillo this year.

Latrell only available at WFB.

6 trades at centre? Thats a good year. I went through my team at the end of last season. I had 12 different centre combinations, using half my trades on Ctrs alone. It was the pits.

Hi Troops,

I see a lot of Creighton in teams and I know Cordner is out for awhile but will Radley & Verills back dent his full 80 minute stints?

I like Tohu and Matterson more

Are we thinking BMM is a pass with his actual price of 405k now?

Depends if starting or off the bench

No McInnes?

Yeah, I don't see much of an upside to Crichton. I reckon you'll get what you pay for.
and I'm also hesitant on getting either Tohu or Matterson. Tohu had a pretty good run last year and didn't get injured like in 2017, 2018, and 2019...I'm not confident he'll get a clear run this season. And Matterson does tend to pick up an HIA at some stage.

So are you looking at starting with no gun second rower?

Last year I bought Knight at 570k and it backfires was a trap.

Question I’m trying to figure out is, is Tino also a trap......

I thought Milch made some good points highlighting Tino as a no.

yes...

Currently I have McInnes, Taumalolo, and Tino as my MIDs
and I'll probably go with 2 of CHN, Riki, Gilbert, & BMM depending on TLT

Last year I had Liam Knight and Jack Williams was someone I had pencilled in as a day 1 pick. He was a total dud too.

There's always going to be some bad Round 1 picks you make.

its a no for me but i'd say he will be pretty popular still.

Welcome back legends! Watson my pick for buy of the year on first look

Who you guys got as easy money?

What makes you confident in Tino?

Well here we go again. As usual no idea where to start doesn’t help that the site won’t open

I'm not overly confident in Tino, but if he can get 50+ mins a game he should be able to avg 50 points a game.
Not sure what role he'll be playing at the Titans, but I would expect him to do ok

Thanks to the person who sent me the invite to join the force awakens fantasy league I think it was Chewie... thanks mate I just joined!

How many drafts have you guys made so far? Just 1 for me so far.... I’m behaving

Rabbits21 - I recall you didn’t have Latrell in your first draft. Thought you might. What are your thoughts on him this year?
