Assumptions around starting. Obviously its TLT dependent

If curran starts id probably just flick luki

Salmon played starting lock in the trial.

Everyone assumed he would be big minute starting lock. In trials all the lock minutes went to Salmon and Mann, he played prop off the bench.

If it looks like he gets good minutes, I will downgrade someone to fit him in.

Could punt Cotter or Luki for Curran. Next week's problem though.

Ended up going off Cheese. Figure Wong is 100k cheaper and hopefully get the same value or better if he can replicate that limited sample. Sitili feels the safer pick being more experienced and derailed by injury, but there's a world where both could be good and I wanna live there.

NRL Phantom with the news that - Shock ! horror! Brad Arthur may not be using an 80 minute hooker

I've been toying with this idea of limiting myself to 1 trade a week (at least until the major bye rounds)
I'm a hopeless trade junkie and think that saving trades early will help me push for a better finish to the season

Same guy posted afterwards "a source much closer to the eels is telling me the plan is an 80min hooker"

400 followers and blue tick. Trying to be relevant

I'll be around to slap you in the face with a large trout if you like? No 2nd trade unless absolutely necessary as deemed by a committee that I will form when issues arise.

I like to say a trade can be worth 50-100 points towards the end of season.. last season it could've been worth a lot more for some.

Hmm y'all are tempting me to ditch Tatola for Wong and shifting Tupouniua to the front row, Tatola does seem so boring...

This is exact the move I have just made myself on current draft. Free's up that little bit of needed $$$$

Or I could get banned from page 51 parties in the week that I exceed the trade limit

I don't see how anyone else benefits from that? I prefer the large trout scenario..

No need to limit the trades if there's good trades to be made, but I'll be sure to remind you if it's really necessary

Back for another year, will never ever finish higher than I did last year so now I’ll spend most of my time reminiscing about the glory days. Threw a team together after going through MS and Mattnzs trackers

Grant
Hoppy, Tupouniua, Flegler
Wong, Luki
Cleary (c), Fogarty
Garrick, Burbo
Papy, Turbo, Weekes

Lussick, Hutchinson, Piakura, Salmon
Mikaele, Strange, Hughes, Cotric

Surely 4 Raiders is grounds for expulsion from all leagues?

I'm taking a risky approach this year and trying to go purely for guns and base price cashies.

Grant
Haas, Murray, Hughes
Aitken, Salmon
Cleary, Hynes
Burbo, Cotric
Pap, Turbo, RTS

INT / Bench

Weeks, Willison, Hutchison, Strange
Shiller, Gagai, Stewart, Mikaele


Seems an easier approach than trying to decide between the multitude of mid rangers out there.

Will likely regret my decision come round 2.

Mikaele needs 30 minutes to be worth it. How do we see the rotation with Hess out?

Based loosely on last season:

McLean 40
Robson 80
Lolo 50
Nanai 80
Luki 65
Cotter 60

Neame 40
Granville 30
McIntyre 15

Leaves Mikaele with 20, unless he grabs some minutes from Neame/Granville.

If Luki is playing 80, McIntyre steals some minutes too and McIntyre could hop into the middle rotation too.

I'm rocking 6, and not stressed.

Boom! Haas and Hoppo!

Robbo
Haas Hoppo Sitili
Wongy Pia
Chin Hutch
Penis Kris
Paps RTS Bradley

Lussick Luki Salmon Flanno

Burbo Cotric Hughes Strange

Don't like running Flanno and bench is light as fuck but Haas and Hoppo looks amazing.
