    Someone bought up Sam Taga and Paasi I think?

    Both are traps also I feel.

    Hi all

    Back for another year. Been lurking a bit. Thought I’d share my draft team in case anyone wanted to comment:

    Smith
    NAS Lodge
    Brown Murray RFM
    Croft Niko
    Aitken Milne
    Mitchell Ponga Duffy

    Cook Watson Carty Garvey

    Hiku Croker Kikau Leilua

    Also, saw the new rules a few pages back so

    Hi
    Please
    Thanks
    Fensom to start at some stage this season? Discuss.

    I don't think Fensom will be starting anytime soon based on the recruits the Cowboys got.

    He would be playing lock? So I cant see him taking JT13 Position. Nor Lowe, nor Cooper, nor Finucane.

    Itd be hard to dislodge Finucane from two states away.

    I don’t see why he doesn’t start at some stage. May only prop or something but the coach may change it up

    I think he might start mid year to help Scott get through to the back end in good condition.

    Just a thought.

    Going Smithless, Fifitaless, and Brownlee maybe to my demise

    Cook

    Croft Croker/Hastings
    Aitken Milne
    Teddy (c) Nofo Ponga

    Nas Watson Lichaa Cartwright

    Kikau Garvey Hiku A. Gray

    340k ITB.. Thinking about dropping Aitken to save money and upgrading Gurgess to Ese'ese or similar price starter.

    Thanks in advance

    The one thing this team has over other teams is that the 18-21 appear more useful than most. Most people with Garvey/Hiku are playing them, and relying on $228k players turning up in team lists, which is a risky strategy.
    Long term, a team like this may have better prospects.

Fixing up your initial"mistakes" and correcting them with the "right" players can make or break your season. If you don't trade in the first 3-4 rounds, you can take a massive hit and be $500K or so behind the 8 ball, if not more.

    Absolutely. While youre fixing mistakes the leaders a) already have the jump on you with points, and b) are saving trades or making luxury trades.

    @MTB

    Two questions

    1: If you aren't picking ET this year, what will your DP be?

    2: How did your TV Break?

    1. That will all be revealed when the first lockout of the season occurs.

    2. A problem with my xbox. Specifically, one of the Fifa games

    Either McLean or Lowe at some stage. I’m not saying it’s a sure thing. Scott and Cooper will be starting each game no doubt. Fensom is highly rated up there I just think he’ll earn himself a starting spot at some stage

    Its pretty new to be fair and there's no harm in it this far out from the season actually starting and things getting serious, this thread obviously receives far more traffic and has always been used for that purpose

    I don’t see any problem with people posting their teams. It’s more likely to get a response here rather than being ignored in another thread. New people want to start somewhere they generally pick the place with the most traffic

    From the 8 (Semi gone though...) players at the top of the banner, how many are people picking to start the season?

    I'm picking 0. Tempted by Cleary, but lots of shit going down at the Panthers right now plus Maloney so its a no from me.

    Zero to start will likely get Crichton if he maintains last years scoring, Rapa, Lolo and wait and see on Cleary

    Yeah none here too. I'd like Crichton or Tlolo but I cannot afford those price tags and hope to have a decent team, and it feels wrong to pass up all the 2rf value going around.

    it could go that way. he had a stellar year with many surprise tries scored. but if slade griffin is in the team it shakes things up a bit because his role is sorta the same as buhrers

    im mostly interested in guerras minutes and how these guys will affect it
