I've been a Turboless team for all of preseason, so I thought I'd see what a Turbo team might mean. I'm still undecided.

Before this iteration I had both Uto and Arrow. I went with only one in order to turn Pap and Teddy into Turbo. Again I still undecided on which one. Gut says Arrow, but head says Uto.
Have you considered Fonua Blake from the Warriors? NZ seem to have a friendly fixture to start the season and I think they might have mentioned that he had a few injury affected games last season.

I've had many teams with and without Turbo.

I'm settling closer to going without

TLT can't come fast enough.

Current team...
$70k ITB (not sure where to spend it)

BSmith / Randall
Haas, Arrow / JTB, MKing
DFif, Tups, Lolo / Katoa, Tago, Piakura
Moses / Schneider
Ilias / Munster
Mann, XC, Amone, Penisini / Russell, Pareira, Almoti
Teddy / Papi

My thinking
Definitely leaning towards Teddy/Papi combo. If one doesn't play, I'll go Gutho.

BSmith is playing RD1, so he's in, and saves money on Grant, who starts RD2

Lolo is playing lock and apparently will play more minutes. This pushes Cotter out of my team and brings in EKatoa.

Still lots to think about...

They say Warriors do have the best starting draw, so the likes of

AFB - FRF
Aitken - 2RF/CTW
SJ - HB/5-8

All cheap and on the radar. I think AFB is probably the better bet, and I still may move Tups out, Arrow to 2RF and add AFB.

Para's first 9 rounds look good (only reason I'll take Gutho if Papi is out RD1)
also why I've included Moses, and have both Russell and Penisini.

Haas and DFif were my first picked and they haven't moved, and won't unless suspended or injured.

Schneider was a last minute grab with the news Fogarty is out.

CTWs could always be changed, I just don't know who to...

Current side after a browse through the NRL SC Talk Mega Guide:

Very scared without Turbo or N Cleary to start the season but hopefully is a solid foundation until teams are announced.

Nrl.com has Paix listed in 14 jersey, I can't see covid mentioned
Yes, I read that.
I thought I heard it on the News the other night.



I think on Wednesday, we were told two Broncos had been ruled out due to Covid.
In the BBL, they were able to resume playing on the 7th day after.
But the Broncos will pay their first game Friday 11th, 9 days later.

If they do miss round 1, Covid could have a bigger effect than first thought.
