Regrets:
- Predicted Burbo playing 40-60 mins for ~30 and then getting benched or dropped Rd 2. Early setback gambling on TLT2 and ending up with Suli and Cotric instead of Kris and Burbo. Now Schuster is returning in ressies
- Was keen on May after some unreal scores at the end of last season and finals, but had too long to think about it after creating a team 2 weeks early. Similar problem with dumping Burbo in the end, should've used a SI sticky note over Burbo's face at least.
Disappointments:
- Cotter: Was hoping he'd play out the last 10 and hit the 50, but was the final sub. Almost downgraded him to Fluki or upgraded to Hopgood, but happy to lock him in and hopefully in closer games that aren't in the heat, he'll play closer to 60.
- Tatola: Maybe playing it too safe with this pick. Seems like a good defender and ball-runner, so I dunno why he can't get the 50-55 mins consistently. I might be biased, but seems like the Bunnies defence gets torn up with him and Murray off and lack go-forward in attack. Probably just gonna plod along and I hold too long. Would've been a better score if not for double-telegraphing an OFH and then throwing the intercept instead. Likely lost his offload licence before even getting it now though.
- Piakura: Stalled cash gen, but will just take a few extra weeks to peak. Expecting ~40 scores and good JS, so can't see replacing him with anyone better without spending up.
- Sitili: I was hotter on him than Wong, but at least got both. Might have to hold if he's fit and starting, but does facilitate May and Burbo trade-ins if I go that way.
A few other 20s and 30s from Suli, Strange, Pap, Salmon and the EMGs, but not too worried with their positions and prices. Levi needed a try to save his score, but also had fuck all defence in the 1st half, so hopefully can keep hitting those 30s.
Hopefully Cotric holds that wing spot over Hoppa. Not confident JChan sticks around, maybe a bench middle if he does. Highly likely to be punted into the sun.
Cheers anyone who made it this far. This is my 3rd attempt and feels pretentious as fuck, but oh well. Maybe it helps me or someone else out with a correct call for the wrong reasons or something
