Thoughts?

similar to me... ive gone down the hype lane i reckon though and went with SBW & the beast... i reckon i might get rid of them by kick off.

i see you picked both Taupau and Klemmer... same as me... i was a bit worried about how much minutes they get when Kasiano and Pritchard get back... so them getting named early could be a smokescreen.

 

[shiznit]

whats everyone's thoughts on Liam Fulton??

i thought people would be all over him now that heighton & ellis are gone... but i havent seen anyone really mention him.

 

[Nevcost]

Cameron King, Junior Moors, Sam Moa, Brenton Lawrence or other? Got a slot in my FRF I want to fill with a cheapy. Moa and Lawrence and are both named to start, but come at a higher price than Moors and King, who are named as benchies. Also a chance Moa and Lawrence could be shuffled out.

I'd go Sam Rapira he's cheap and guaranteed more game time then any of the rookies

 

[Walt Flanigan]

If it was the same scoring system as last year I'd be all over him. Tackling machines are gonna take a hit this year.

 

[Edwahu]

My squad

FB: Beale, W.Naiqama
CTW: Inglis, Brown, Teo, Gordon, Fonua, Loko, Tuivasa-Sheck,
5/8: Thurston, Kelly
HB: Gidley, Miller
2R: SBW, T.Williams, Frizzel, T.Sims, Horo, T.Harris
FR: Burgess, C.Smith, Asotasi, Moore, Mcillwrick, Buchanan

Taking a punt on Naiqama and Asotasi to have better years and SBW to play enough.

 

[snogard6]

Does anyone know how to trade in players from your watch list ????

 

[carlosthedwarf]

If it was the same scoring system as last year I'd be all over him. Tackling machines are gonna take a hit this year.

Yeah, I'm staying away from workhorse style players because of it. It will be interesting to see if people get some consistent scores this year, I feel they could be all over the place.

I haven't finished my team yet, still trying to pick between one final backrower, someone like Te'o, Cooper or Matt Ryan.

 

[Dogs Of War]

Well I think I am going to lock in this squad to start with.

10. Lawrence, B
9. McGuire, J
8. Merrin, T
20. Lussick, D
21. Burgess, G
22. Klemmer, D

12. Buhrer, J
13. Smith, N
11. Burgess, S
23. Te'o, B
24. Brown, L
25. Sims, T

7. Gidley, K
19. Kelly, A
6. Norman, C
18. Kelly, L

5. Beale, G
4. Kenny-Dowall, S
3. Williams, T
2. Inglis, G
15. Tuivasa-Sheck, R
16. Loko, J
17. Chee Kam, M
1. Gordon, M
14. Roberts, J

Any thoughts on the squad? Plenty of interchange ability between the forwards and backs which I do like.

[Dogs Of War]

Can someone explain to me how to add and drop players?

I can't find any option to drop and add players from my original 17

Help please

S is to substitute players that haven't been selected into your starting 13 (It's also great for moving Centres to Second Row etc if you have dual position players)

R is so they can be named a reserve (best to deselect a reserve first, otherwise it just deselects one in the order you selected them previously)

T is to trade out that position. You will need to remove someone if you have no spaces left.

And most importantly, ensure you use C and V (Capt/Vice Captain) so you get double points for one player.

 

[Wato]

What everyone's thoughts on SBW now? Is he a sell or are you guys holding onto him.

 

[gronkathon]

He was a never purchase in my books due to his high cost and time away from the game

 

[Dogs Of War]

What everyone's thoughts on SBW now? Is he a sell or are you guys holding onto him.

If the rumours are correct, he will run around for about 20mins. Lets say he gets 40mins the next couple of weeks (looking at an average of say 35-40 points if he performs exceptionally in those stints), his price will start to come down, and I reckon by week 5-6 you will be able to pick him up for say $210-220K. That's a price I will bite on, cause I think he can be a $300K player picking up anywhere from 55-75points on a regular basis.

 

[carlosthedwarf]

Agreed. I'd like to see him play 3 games of 40mins+ in a row before I wasted a spot on him. If he's only playing every second game he's an absolute waste of a roster spot.

10. Lawrence, B

Suggestions for captain. Was just going to go with Merrin this week, though I did consider Inglis, I think that may be too much of a risk week 1, given I have no idea how good the roosters are. I think with my team, the only other real captain option is Sam Burgess. Thoughts?

 

[abpanther]

I would go with Burgess or Inglis

 

[abpanther]

Alright, this is what I've settled on for the opening round

1. Gordon

11. Buhrer
12. Te'o
13. W.Graham

Bench
14. T.Sims
15. T.Harris
16. Beale
17. Fonau

What about for me?

I was thinking Smith as captain but still mulling over it

 

[gronkathon]

Smith is my pick. The Dragons present opportunities for his kicking game both tactical and conversion plus the Price run style should mean he will make a good amount of tackles.
