Cheese
Haas Tatola Silly
Wong Piakura
Cleary Hutcho
Penis Burbo
Teddy Pappy Kini

Lussick Smithers Luki Hughes/Salmon

Hughes/Salmon Kris Strange/Weekes Bradley

244k ITB. I want players without early byes (Bar Kini who I only want 80k and some decent scores out of).

Fairly happy with the Vegas players, have lots of cash to be flexible TLT 2. Would love Murray but requires Haas + Smithers to Murray + Hopgood and only 20k bank...

Pls provide thoughts, comments, suggestions

One year I started 5th from R1, rest started decently slow. This means I will be around 10k at the start this year again... Crawled up to 180th odd last year with good trades... Robson pre-origin screwed me and so did never getting Carty.

Looks the same as my team which is probably bad news for early rounds

I think you are on the money with grab both pray both are decent but turf the one that isn't if that's the case. I am a big believer that forwards are really in their prime around 26-28 and then drop off a cliff performance wise. While Wong is still a kid, he will have this whole offseason training and expecting to be the starting second rower. Either way they should make money.

Wong in the five games he started last year averaged 40 points which is just shy of the 10 points I would like a mid price guy to jump to be worth it. But he had minimal attacking stats and clearly likes a tackle. He averaged above 40 in his two 80 minute games and he certainly isn't losing cash. He isn't losing cash and may make small gains, but I am hoping he plays closer to 80. May be a slow burner for cash but consistent scoring.

Sitili actually has a better average in 50+ minute games if you go back to his debut. As you said he can really shit the bed with scoring, mainly through missed tackles and giving up a penalty almost every damn game. I think Vegas having less space might benefit him as he will be stretched wide less. He will rely on those attacking stats, but like Wong he just needs to be a slow burner averaging around 40. He will have a big game at some stage and you can ride those price rises for a few weeks and offload him.

Their isn't much risk in either guy, and a big week or lucky try can bump their cash burning. Just don't expect anything more than 40 points and know you need to keep them until their bye round to see them generate enough cash to be worth it and you should be fine and happy with them.

If you you want to split hairs between the two Wong is slightly taller, so that must mean he is better. So select Dominic Young in that case.

TL;DR: I said a lot of nothing, get Wong and Sitili

I think either strat works but something that hasn't worked for me the past 3 seasons is going double cheap centres. #fuckHSS #fuckthatdudefromthedragonswithabrother
