Sure it's risky but my point is you end up with an extra cheapie (4) instead of the same three cheapies.

If Matai pops a shoulder, Walker could go to CTR & Api going to 5/8 would make Parcell owners very happy.
But I suspect Lewis Brown or Tom Symonds might be their first option. Depends if Walker actually turns out to be any good at the 5/8 role.

Parcell will have to avg at least 40 to make his selection worthwhile and the other cheapies still all have to hit to make that worth the risk

2 Gun hookers + 3 cheapies is more appealing than 1 Gun hooker and 4 cheapies

I currently have 10...and probably few that want be playing come round 1.  

10 currently hopefully all be playing but who knows.

Do I want Grant/Rochow/Paea?

What is better?

1. Merrin, Fergs & Cartwright

2. Merrin, Fergs & LAM

3. LAM, Ted & Cartwright


I currently have number 3 and to get Merrin I would have to lose Ted and One of LAM or Cartwright.

Cartwright hasn't seen my team at all so far

Option 3 Ted factor does it for me - I currently have those 3 in my team

I agree, I doubt that they'd move Walker regardless how he was going. Barrett said not to except a finished product straight its a year long plan for Walker. I just don't see walker being moved at all. Brown, Green, Santi, Williame, Wright, Goodall and possibly Symonds to cover that Matais spot.

2. Merrin 55-60 Fergs 35-45 LAM 45-50...135-155

3. LAM 45-50 Ted 45-60 Cartwright 45-55...135-165

Mate I agree, I was merely pointing out that trading out a gun hooker for a gun half leaves you with the same three cheapies, so same same (sort of, but probably worse) so why would you bother, whereas having all 4 cheapies is at least a definitely different option (albeit probably a worse one) Hope I'm making sense, on the wines again

Posted my current team in the rate my team thread. If anyone is keen to have a look and pass on judgement I'd appreciate it

I've got Merrin Fergs Carty and LAM but no Ted

Rochow/Sue/Grant

Slater/Mansour/Mann

pick one of each and why please

Wish the season would fucking start so I can stop going mental over this haha

I personally think Rochow and Mansour have the most upside. But Mann could be excellent at FB
I was on Sue for a while but I can't see him getting enough minutes, Grant I think is a good pick as well

Rochow but only because I'm a minutes man

Mansour and pretty easily...has hit the heights of 50+ avg before so has the potential to get here again

I don't like the idea of having Blake and Mansour in the same side. I think that if the Panthers struggle for points in a game they both will struggle. Blake is a solid pick if he plays for pretty cheap.

May have to wait till TLT

Not sure about Fantasy but I had Blake last year in Ultimate and his scores were very eratic. Then again I guess thats common for most CTRs except a select few.

Man I hope Barba gets the Fullback spot!

All the reports of Teddy has made me swap a lot of players haha.

Which of Barba or Feeney to start in WFB if both named TLT?

or both starting? or both to be used as cows in the NPRs?

Nobody is worried that Tedesco won't make as many tacklebreaks this year with a far weaker tigers pack? No Taupau to break up the line and let him slip through

If both are named im playing them both. But if you had to choose one probably Barba as there is much more attacking opportunities from the sharks than there would be the knights. Plus Feeney is still a rookie and Barba has been looking pretty sharp lately. That's just my personal choice
