Yeah this. I doubt there’s been too much emphasis on his education to date anyway. He’s basically on a scholarship to win them rugby trophies.
I’m basically all for players getting what they can. I just hope he’s being protected more than exploited by the process.

He signed with the Roosters for less money than Souths were offering because of clauses in his favour around going to play union, so I wouldn't assume anything.

Riki looks so much better than Oates. Surely it’s no contest. I thought I was scraping the bottom to get Isaako as my third FB. No one really interests me beside the top 5 or so.Rabbits21 wrote:It’d be bitter sweet for me if Riki starts as it’d mean I need to find a 3rd cheapest WFB as I have Oates there right now!

I just had a bit of a play and aside from discovering the iPhone app does not handle scrolling down if you make a trade, I also put in Peachey and didn’t hate it

How his fanfare in comparison to Ponga when he first come onto the scene?
Yeah it's a fair question.
My main recollection of Ponga was more about him thinking he was first grade ready and wanted to play NRL every week. In retrospect you'd have to say he was first grade ready.
Even so, I think the entitled look tend to stick and makes you an easy target/scapegoat when games go bad.
Anyway, I just hope he gets good people around him.

The app drives me mad doing that. I end up closing it and opening again do I can see my emergencies.

I added him last night. Wasn't as hard as I was expecting, just downgraded a center.
Hard for me as I’ve got Cook, Cleary, Angus and Teddy.

I've been thinking about Peachey as well. Fogarty said he'd be in the middle with similar role in TK podcast (probably does face dropped mins though)
Though I wouldn't be sure who to drop out of Roberts/Averillo out of 17, thinking if I was to bring him in it'd be at expense of Niu and drop a few of uber-guns to bye-round sub-guns

Yeah everytime I make a trade, if I want to see my emergencies I have to hit home then go back into my team screen. It’s ridiculous hopefully they fix before TLT.

Townsend also goal kicking... makes him a little more appealing

Ponga debuted in a finals match and this was one of his first touches https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QS8juHORdM0
Suaalii hasn't even played NSW cup. They shouldn't even be comparable, all of Suaalii's highlights are against "kids" his own age

He's purely dependent on when SJ returns, which is his limiting factor
NRL Physio posted that he wouldn't be surprised of early return after he was running early Feb (R2-R3) but then SJ laughed off suggestions he'd be back by R5 in late Jan
Bit like an expensive Hoy where if you take gamble and he keeps playing in that role he'd be great, but no real definite in terms of injury return

What's this TK podcast thing? Seems like every player has been on it and providing us clutch fantasy info so I'm all for it

Yeah I was looking as he’s about 5pts underpriced if same role as last year, and the only obvious gun CTR.

Last couple have been players but mostly assistant coaches providing varying degrees of info
There’s a thread with each one’s outline posted by host

I've managed DFifi, along with (C)Leary, Angus, Teddy and switched Cook for Grant.
