Think Kade Poki is a great buy at $75k - is a starter and potential point earner for the Clan. I have him on my bench, and foolishly had Rooney over him in week 1. Not doing that again.
I got lucky by only having 1 Crusader (Dan Carter), and 1 Cane (Eaton on the bench) in my final squad for round 1. Dan Carter will cost one transfer, but I'm happy enough with that.
Might be be transfering out big Victor Matfield, which means he'll probably score big this week. I have a problem heading into week 4 as I have 2 Bulls, 2 Reds and 2 Tahs, so Matfield is the first to go, and I might strengthen my bench with money from Matfield and Carter to prepare for the Reds, Tahs and Bulls having a bye round 4.
I reckon I might take a Stormers inside back as they might rip the Lions a new one - although the Lions are improved, I'm not yet sure they can swing two good defensive performances back to back. I am thinking either Grant, Fourie or de Villiers. I reckon Fourie and de Villiers are better options, but can't choose between 'em. Anyone have any suggestions? Need to know by about 4pm tomorrow when I do my transfers
<edit> Peter Grant is on the bench for Gary van Aswegen, who is not even on the damn list, so no bargain buy there. So, Fourie v de Villiers?
I already own Thomson; got lucky on that one I reckon. I like Thomson as a player as he can play like a second 7 plus take a few lineouts, and does lots of work. Reckon that sort of player can earn big points, when he's not a penalty magnet that is.
