Didn’t the knights just sign the young Brailey from the sharks, effective immediately?

Oh didn't know that

I'm thinking of just keeping him in the centres and using Bateman on the bench or 2FR. IMO, Xerri is going to be hard to let go.

Bored as hell at work and just looking through the celeb teams and not sure if Cook is still serious or not but he had himself as captain and Tracey in as VC!!

Having Wade Graham feeding him was huge for his game. I think Xerri will be a keeper if Wade stays fit.

I can’t seem to find the link but I’m sure I read it somewhere recently.
Don’t hold me to it, my memory is very ordinary.

For next season. Just did a quick search.

Think i saw Butters team on a facebook page over the weekend and it was putrid.

I know it's early but the tigers are shit and I can't see how they'll contain lolo. Definitely thinking of going Lolo as captain again.

Cheers lads. I will probably get Watson this week. Just want to

If Levi is on the outer & Watson keeps on performing at hooker then maybe Watson keeps the starting hooker gig.

Lolo will be set and forget for me now

I would like that.

I'm thinking too mate. Plays 16 and great DPP.

As long as he keeps playing 80 hes an easy choice.

McLean injury probably keeps that going.

I doubt Xerri's going to score anywhere near as well as the alternative HK/FR/SR or even HLF that you could have on the bench rather than Bateman for CTR cover.

Having two SR in Bateman and Nikora locking down the CTR spots is a dream. Playing an extra one is just throwing 10+ points away.

People traded him before the bye and now he's suddenly a keeper after 5 tries in 2 games? I'm happy to hold him until the bye, but I'm not playing him for the 20s and 30s without tries.

My final team is gonna be so very different from what others are aiming for it feels.

I think with some of us we may have to be a bit flexible and change our expectations as to what our final 17 will look like. That's what I'm thinking anyway.

Questions:

1 - Do you think he'll score more or less than his current season average of 42? Which is the same as Nikora's last five games average.
2 - Do you think the Sharks will score more of fewer tries with Wade Graham back in the team?

Personally, I am playing Xerri in a loop for the next few weeks and keeping him for the bye. Bateman and Nikora are set and forget centres for me but there's an argument to be made for holding Xerri after the bye.
