fwiw i don't expect cheese to start scoring 'consistently' like a middle forward who pumps out around 45 every week.

he'll have low 30s with high 60's.

tries are base stats etc.

Not many mentioning Robson as much as Grant, strong team, great running game and off the back of some strong forwards. Late bye round ….

I did Sutton to Uto this morning and now want Sutton back but keep Uto

The 2 last minute additions to team calculations for me are as follows.

Jack Bird - I think he's likely too much cash to start with him, but want to make sure I can bring him in quickly. He's looking like someone worth spending money on at CTR if he's playing lock.
I can sort of see the temptation of Suaalii or someone as a placeholder. but if Suaalii does kill it in round 1, you're going to want to hang on to him for price rises and more points and not trade him to Bird straight away. So you'd sort of be hoping for him to hit his BE without going massive to make the trade decision easier.


David Fifita. I can see there's value, but I also see value in Tino. With Tanah Boyd also in the team I think that is too much money in Titans players and will cause hurt in round 5. Unless Tanah Boyd makes enough cash (or sucks enough) to sell off before his bye I don't think I can run with all 3, so have to make a Tino or Fifita call
The other is probably a wait until R17 call just because of the bye schedule

Just had a really good year last year, and not sure he'd going to step up again. To quote our favourite rabbit - why not Grant instead for a bit more. (Or go a bit less and get Hodgson)

Can get Grant and go

Haas Cheese Hopgood mids is that too weak?

And Uto bench no Sutton

I bought him near his cheapest last season. He's priced what he'll average or worse without tries IMO.

No it's fine. Need money makers as well as guns

Shaun Lane underwent surgery to insert 2 plates & a wire in his jaw after suffering a fracture in the final trial, is reportedly aiming to return in Round 6 (via
@FOXNRL). Would be an 8 week return to play - typical range is 6-8 weeks

I like it mate great side, no Ford?

Would love to hear some thoughts on Haas and Martin(Starting) vs Carrigan and Miller

I've said it before and I'll say it again:

- Smith priced at 40
- Smith average at hooker in games 50+ minutes is 52.6

I honestly don't understand all the panic.

This is the decision I spent the most time on this week as going with Robson gives me enough to upgrade one of my shitty back 5.

The issue is that it doesn't give me enough to upgrade anyone in my shitty back five to anyone decent (Teddy or Latrell) and the only lower tier guy I was interested in was Walsh, so I kept Grant.

My logic is that Grant is a pretty reliable 50+ each week whereas even a premium back is not. I have a gut feel that Robson starts slow and builds up like last year so could drop a few $$ and be a pick up after the Roosters bye.

This could all be flawed but only time will tell

Basically what i have ... so probably

Now I'm thinking about Turbo vs not great Dogs forward pack instead of Teddy but feel need for Rooster back next 2 fixtures. What happened to Suaalii in trial? Injured. They always show 80 mins for every player but doesn't look like he played 80 mins

Also, no Murray?

Martin is shit and Carrigan can match or better Haas
