Best captaincy options for Rd1?
Currently running with a big Matto sized hole in my 2RF. I have downgraded him to Fifita, which allows me to upgrade Welch to TKO. Am I mad? Starting Lodge as my other front rower. Cheers, James
Going the anti-POD on Papenhuyzen, am I crazy? 5 R/A of 52 and 10 R/A of 59 to start the year last year. I don’t hate him, but with Ponga and Turbo due back in the first quarter, plus other smokeys like Brimson, Gutho, Latrell and Scheck, there are a huge number of potential candidates for one position (assuming Teddy stays fit). Currently have Teddy & Moylan with the view to upgrade round 4-8 via Moylan or duals.
Best cheapie option for 2RF currently running Crichton, matto, tino, capewell and rikki
Surely Capewell is better used in your ctw?
Thoughts on Capewell at CTW?
Who is the best option out of the following _
* Tapine
* Block of Cheese Smith
* Tupounia
David
Where do you sit on Joe O? I had a starting frf of tino and lodge but starting lodge with that bench now seems a bit risky so considering upgrading Leniu to Joe O
J Brailey or liddle in the hooker spot?
Welch or Capewell, who is the better buy?
Thoughts on Mitch Barnett as he is now confirmed to be goalkicking for the knights as a POD move over Matto
Unsure which 2 of these 3 I should select as my reserves, Liddle, Lodge or Riki?
Thoughts on Dylan Brown at 5/8 ??
David Mead vs David Fusitu’a as final CTW cheapie?
Brandon Smith + Josh Hodgson at hooker
Liddle will lose minutes next week and Brailey/Turpin are untested. Hodgson seems a better option. Thoughts?
Considering the price and not the position would you prefer SST or Dfifita in your starting round 1 team. I just can’t decide
Do you prefer B Smith or M Barnett now he has goal kicking?
Also R Smith or J Averillo?
Would you run with s Fogarty/Williams rather than cleary/Walker with Williams kicking whilst Jarrod is out he’ll surely make some coin
At CTW which 3 would you be starting in your 17 first round between Staines, Roberts, Fusitu’a, Laurie, Niu and Simonsson?
Hey guys welcome back! Couldn’t of won my cash comp last year without you. This is a real broad question but just wanted to see if you had any advice for someone just completely looking to play h2h with no overall intentions.
Also is there anything wrong with Hodgson at hooker? Ive managed to fit in Watson, Liddle and Lam elsewhere but I needed someone to score some points also while making money or I might fall too far behind and not even make the top 8. He’s hardly mentioned anywhere, is that just because most are playing Watson and Liddle in hooker? Thanks mate
Hi Guys
Tossing up between Barnett and JFH but not sure on minutes for Barnett with that bench, thoughts?
Also who would you go Lam/Barnett(or JFH) versus Muster/Saab?
Thanks
How important is it to start with those high ceiling halves e.g munster/walker etc. Have currently stacked the forwards with Paulo, Tko, Matto, Crighton and Tino. But have lam (hooker) and Watson in the 5/8 as well as teddy/pap combo.. would you recommend looking cheaper in the frf and upgrade the 5/8 position to bring a munster/walker ?
Hey mate, I finished recording just before you dropped your question. I’d chase the ceiling of Munster/Walker over either of TKO/Paulo (although I think they’re fantastic buys). As we speak about so often, with ceilings going through the roof with the new rules I think it is important to target those players. That being said, it’s not essential, and if you want to stack your front-row with that pair I think it’s a very viable option.
Would you run Welch and Sam Walker (nuff) OR downgrade Welch to Lodge and Fujitsu’a to Suali (nuff) to then upgrade Sam Walker to Mitch Moses?
Still one nuff in each of these scenarios
Both very viable options and a nice alternative to the Walker nuff. I’d go with Walker as I’m not personally a fan of any halfbacks, but if you like Moses then Suaalii is definitely an option.
Is part 2 broke? or is it still uploading? was really enjoying that first half haha.
Sorry mate, these uploads tend to drop out at times! Should be fixed.
You are killing it. I just subscribed for the first time and I love the huge amount of time and effort you put in.
Thanks Benny! Appreciated it mate, keen for kick-off!
