It took all my remaining transfers to mass cull my All Blacks. I bought all my Aussie replacements within about 30 minutes of the round three lock, with only the CT position unfilled. Most of the choices speak for themselves - Moore, Sharpe, Horwill, and Mitchell all scored well in their opening game. I had no choice but to pick Burgess - whose 200 in the first test wasn't too shabby. Giteau didn't play particularly well, or score good TR points, last time but he's a "must pick" in every game he plays. By Wednesday, the Wallabies' prices were rising fast and I had to fill my one remaining open spot - CT. After much prevarication I decided on Mortlock. Although Barnes eclipsed him in the first round, I'm giving the old warhorse one more chance to shine.
So I have Dean Mumm at lock. If I sell him I could buy either Danie Rousseu or Bekker (I have 180k in the bank). Who do you think is the best option out of these 3 choices?
ReplyDeleteI'd stick with Mumm. There's probably little between the three locks in terms of what they'll earn but Mumm's the cheapest of them and the Wallabies play in the next three consecutive rounds - the Boks have a bye after this week.
