Speaking of Groupthink:

My biggest mistakes this year were all when I made decisions which no one else was really considering, which in hindsight was me just thinking I was smarter than I was. Some examples (not exhaustive unfortunately):

• Thinking Reimis Smith would be a gun - He was decent but far from Lomax levels.
  
• Picking up Macca thinking he'd score as well as he did last year, for a worse team.
  
• Starting with Brooks/Fogarty because they were the "key playmakers and kickers" despite both of them being pretty meh footballers.
  
• Sticking with Brailey way too long, because I thought he could bounce back despite showing no signs of doing so.
  
• Picking up mid-tier players who were "value" because I saw more in them that was there: Drinkwater, Koloamatangi (mid season), Curran (mid season), Tupouniua (to be honest with this one he would have been much better if the Roosters didn't have so many outside backs get injured - his defence/running the ball have dropped off a cliff)
  
• Jumping on literally every cow I could due to FOMO - I literally made it my goal this year to trade wisely and avoid FOMO but boy is it strong - lesson learned (more).
  

So keen for next year though - I may have been burned but it makes me want to put my hand back in the fire even more - for lack of a decent analogy.

Hope that helps you make a decision

Should be a good game @Papadontbleach , @Archer and @GreenMachine - good luck to your lads, if stars align we might play again next week haha.

I’ve got him and can only field 16, and I still want him out. Having him come in won’t help me, more likely to get benefits of having decent back ups

I don't like this. I found all the carnage this year made the season a lot more exciting and people will change their strategies next year to adjust if there is the same amount of trades.

More trades and bigger squads = more time on their site.

I know what I'd be doing if I was them.

To keep it as a challenge and differentiate the teams, just tighten the salary cap.
