Hi all, best of luck to you all for the season! Here is my (hopefully) final iteration.

Randall / Grant
Haas, AFB / M King, J Momo
Dfiff, Gus, Aitken / Luki*, Tuilagi*, S Harris
Keary / Schneider
Mann / Ilias
Lomax, Staggs, B Smith, Tago / Amone*, Vailea, Koula
Teddy / Papy*

12k ITB

Any thoughts or comments on this?

Little bit iffy on my Mann pick…

Bradd9

When Suaalii is fit Rd 3 does he play wing or centre and who makes way? Billy Smith or Paul Momirovski? Trying to decide who to buy.

TU:Suaalii
TD: Billy Smith

MY262

Id keep Smith. Suaalii is an unknown at the moment. Earn the cash on Smith

Albert

Suaalii might not even get a spot in the side if Momirovski and Smith are playing well. If you buy Smith you can always downgrade to Suaalii if he does come in.

Jacko

Mahoney / Randall
Haas, AFB / JTB, M.King
Fifi, Lolo, Fermor / Luki, Tago, Tuilagi
S.Walker / Schneider
SJ / Ilias
Staggs, Mann, Coates, B.Smith / Amone, Penisini, Vailea
Teddy / Papy
$20.9k

Vanilla on purpose.

Should I move Mann into the halves and use the cash to upgrade JTB?

Any other issues? Cheers all!

bally bear

good looking team. good front row

LoneWolf5498

What are people’s opinions on Koula? Worth picking up as a cheapie? Or is Vailea a better investment?

MY262

I like Vailea. But if Koula is a late call up to the starting squad tonight it could be tempting.

GOAT

Atm i would go with Vailea

Walkers On

Anyone else zagging and not starting with Haas? No doubt he’s a great SC player just using him a bit of an anti-POD and I don’t think it’s going to hurt me too much by starting without him.

MY262

Can’t push back on the idea. Could see him increasing in price early doors with Flegler out and will eventually be in every ones team. I’m saving the trade and taking the points.

Cowboys 2050

Does anyone know which side of the field the cowboys backrowers are playing on? Which guy is playing on the left next to Holmes?

Wallah Hezbula

Based on last trial Luki lined up on right edge.

Cowboys 2050

Thanks mate

Flanny

TU: Schiller / S.Walker
TD: B.Smith / SJ

GOAT

Pick my team apart please fellas
HOK
Mahoney (Randall)
FRF
Haas JTB (Bullemor JKing)
2RF
Dfifi Gus Lolo (Tui Tago Luki)
HLF
Hynes (ilias)

Hastings (Schneider)

Mann Coates Staggs Bsmith (Schiller Amone Peni)
FLB
Teddy (Ponga)

MKing is less of a trap than JKing imo.
Schiller may only have a spot for 1 week.
I personally think theres better PODs than Ponga as I think the knights are in for a long year, but if hes your pick go for it, will be huge if it pays off.

GOAT

Yeah massive risk on ponga but i reckon im willing to take it at the stage. BIt worried about schillers spot in the squad but no other bottom price i can get my hands on at this point. Will Jking just fall back into the bench rotation anyway once everyone comes back healthy?

MY262

I’d go Koula or Vailea for Schiller
Like the POD FB – Ive gone for Latrell

MY262

Id get Turbo if you have 700k in the bank as well

Wallah Hezbula

Bit worried about Schiller and King’s roles from next week with players returning into the side and taking their spots (Kris and H Grant respectively) so would be wasted to lose them. Think there’s more value in Max King from Dogs and Vailea from the Warriors.

Yeah fully agree might have to make that adjustment
Cheers fellas

chantelle

last reserve:
TU: Tago
TD: russell

MY262

Flip the coin really – Russell could score 2 on Sivos wing with Guthersons passing

Temple Guard

Based on Match Up and Clearyless Panther vs Manly as Eels vs Titans I think Russell

Kennedy

TU – Fermor & Coates
TD – Arrow & Amone

Flanny

After quite the juggle I ended up with this;

ITB – $23.6k

Mahoney / Randall*
Haas, Bully / M.King, Momo
D.Fifita, Matterson, Lolo / Tago, Tuilagi*, Piakura
SJ / Schiller
Mann / Ilias*
Aitken, Fermor, B.Smith, Penisini / Amone, Vailea, Koula
Turbo / Teddy*

* reserves

Areas of concern:
FRF – Having to run Bully as a starter.
5/8 – Mann just doesn’t feel right at 5/8, but if he can get 60+ mins at lock he would end up being a CTW keeper and can be moved down upon Cleary’s return.

Any feedback would be appreciated.

Hi all whats best HB i have 602k tossing up between Keary, Moses and Sam Walker thoughts or should i go someone else? I am reasonably happy with the rest of the team

I note in the gurus team analysis none have Moses

The Pretender

I think Moses will start hot. Season long? Keary or Walker.

Euman

i like hot and can trade later

MY262

I like Keary as a ball dominant half on the roosters

Moses kicking is a plus – Flip a coin really

Michael

This is where I think I’ve settled:

Cook (Randell)
Haas, Arrow (Momo, MKing)
Dfifi, Gus, Lolo (Luki, Tuliagi, Pik)
SWalker (Schneider)
Munster (Ilias)
Aitken, Smith, Tago, Penisni (Amone, Vailea, Koula)
Teddy (Papy)
$19K ITB

Thoughts/recommendations?

MY262

Solid team – Just have to get through wk1 with Ilias
Could make use of dual position if you could get one of Aitken/Tago to 2RF

Michael

Thanks

Yeah I wanted to try have Tago up there but couldn’t find anyone decent with the money I had ($208k), unless I went Schiller who looks like he’s just gonna get the one week, so went with Pik to try save a trade down the road.

Only way I could find that money was going Gus > Matto
