Hopefully either way it doesn't drag out. I'd assume depending on his deal the longer it takes the bigger the hit on our cap.

edwahu

Got it, for some reason I had thought it was 10. We will go with 10.

edwahu

These are the proposed changes / key points based on the feedback during the season and to start discussion. Let me know of any strong preferences. - Squads reduced from 26 to 22? - Kicker points to be reduced from 10 to 6? The other option is to use the team kicker option so you pick a team and not...

Shouldn’t this be 2020 NRL CEO Competition?

It's perpetual now.

Looks like we have 11/12 confirmed already, just Limegreenmachines left to come back to me.

*edit* he confirmed he is in, so we have a full complement back for season 2 !

edwahu

I've PM'd everyone that's not active in this thread. I'll give them a week or so and then chase them more directly.

edwahu

Joey will be 28 this season which is still a players prime.

I hope he stays. We need very little improvement over last year to win the whole thing and I'd rather find that elsewhere than move on a player who is so influential it could have a major impact.

edwahu

I went Guler as well as it balances best with the rotation.

edwahu

At least it makes the Roosters weaker for next year and I still think with have the Rabbitohs covered. Personally I have my doubts Bennett takes enough risks to coach a premiership team anymore as well.

It still sucks that to see the top talent going to the same teams though.

edwahu

Here is another idea that might be controversial for some. Paul Vaughan is being massively over-rated in the poll result, compared to Shannon Boyd and Junior Paulo. I like Vaughan and he’s a Canberra junior... but I think he’s being partly judged on what he’s done since he left the Raiders. Vaughan...

Roosters and Eels rate first and second.

Defense not a criterion I assume.

edwahu

Keepers was 6 but I think maybe 4 would make it fairer and make the draft more interesting.

edwahu

Don't make me give up Haas

I'd prefer keepers but I will go with what most people want to do. We can reduce squad numbers and make any other changes discussed (I think kicker points was mentioned).

I'll chase people up later this month to see who is still in.

Ive gone Vaughan, Paulo and Sia. Tapine very unlucky. So 2 props and a tweener.

I went the same but Tapine just over Paulo. Boyd is a but unlucky as well, he stunk at the end but he still played some great footy for us.

edwahu

Bench utillity and especially hooker is a genuine specialised position and one we used on and off for the whole decade. Picking a player who basically never played there doesn't make sense to me.

It's the same reason the bench for mine has to have at least 2 middles on it.

edwahu

I went for Havilli as I think he was the best genuine bench player.

edwahu

Much better production in attack.
Better short kicking.
Slightly worse defense.
Much higher error rate.

Scapegoat odds are about 2 to 1 for mine and up there with the favourites.

edwahu

That's just not an accurate take on his early years at all.

edwahu

Seems like a fair enough deal to me. Maybe slight overs but nothing ridiculous.

edwahu

Fensom was an excellent player at his peak and much better than a fringe first grader. He won Raiders player of the year in 2012, which was a good football side packed with talent. The game changed to favour big locks and he regressed as a player at the same time, but that's clouded memories of how ...

edwahu

Cody Walker is managed by Rose and also just accepted 650k a year, which suggests the money Jack was on is still right. If we come back with the same deal he was on and Rose is being honest then I would expect the deal to get done.

i found this whilst looking for formwork materials last week

https://formworksolutions.com.au/

i wonder how much teddy gets paid for a quality bit like that

after seeing that i shopped elsewhere

Less than 69k a year.

edwahu

Shillo is the obvious pick. Then you either go for Papa's one legendary season or Vaughan's 3 very good ones. I went the latter and will pick Papa at second row.

Boyd and Paulo were also pretty good amd Sia will likely be my first bench forward chosen.

edwahu

800k of the Storm deal is supposedly with Smith and I would think he could earn that without any dodgy dealings. You would think of any player he has a lot of whole of game deals as well. If I recall at its peak TPAs were 15m total on a 6.5m cap. It would be very interesting to see the historical nu...

edwahu

If the Roosters are low because of whole of game deals, it would imply that the deals were negotiated as part of signing those players. That would be a big concern for mine.

edwahu

BJ has been a bit unlucky not to play more Origin. Seems he was blacklisted after he decided to not show up to that camp a few years back. He is regularly Samoas best player as well. However if you're picking an all time team to beat another teams best then Croker does have the advantage of being ea...

These have been released for this year as well now.

Fergo did play some great footy, and Edrick's positives are forgotten now, but it is another pretty easy one.

edwahu

Heres a harder one. Who is the other center besides Mal in the all time team out of Beej or Croker?

edwahu

BJ and Toots in that order. Fergo had the best individual season but did too much damage when he left.

edwahu

Manly re-signed Tapau until 2022.

https://www.seaeagles.com.au/news/2019/ ... -re-signs/

They must be spending about 50% of the cap on 4 players.

edwahu

So Insurance company doesn’t accept that the injury was fit for compensation but NRL happy to let it slide. What a shocker of a get out clause. This will create a host of unintended long term repercussions for ageing players on the salary cap. Another self created time bomb set up by the inept NRL ...

edwahu

South's got the exemption. I'd assume since insurance didn't pay out on the injury the job is to cover the cash flow as suggested. https://www.rabbitohs.com.au/news/2019/12/06/rabbitohs-welcome-nrls-decision-on-salary-cap/ Guess it's not Raiders related but it will be interesting to see if it's a pr...

edwahu

I don't mind 20/40 and it won't come up much. Most of the time teams get pinned on their line it's because the opposition is leaving early and is offside anyway. 3 places for the scrum is good. Anything to add some variety in attack is good for mine. Tackled in the air is a sensible decision but it ...

edwahu

For mine the one player it can't possibly be is Dugan. He did a huge amount of damage to the club and would've cost us dozens of wins indirectly.

Even if you ignore that, I don't think he is an obvious choice given his first year was last decade and it was one of his best.

edwahu

I can't rate them on such little footy.

I thought Collins was used quite oddly, particarly having him ride the bench in the Warriors game.
