You wouldn't actually be able to VC Friend in this team (as it's only 1-13) so on the low chance Smith is a late out your best alternative for a VC would be likely Papenhuyzen which has a possibility of not being the greatest captain

I hope I am not the one who makes going for value a stupid decision Still going Smith/Friend (C, VC) Koroisau made his way back in. He does have quite a lot of value with no other recognised HOK in the team really. Hard to knock him back

Smith
Carrigan Mikaele
Aubusson Williams Graham
Williams Drinkwater
Burns Bird
Edwards Hughes Papenhuyzen

Friend Koroisau Nicholls Luai

Magoulias Musgrove Utoikamanu Kolaomatangi

Back row is currently, Lolo, D. Fifita, Williams and Stimson on the bench.

Hoping for a rookie winger and a rookie centre.

You think I’m in a spin now lol, just wait til TLT:bang:

I really worry for Souths this year, along with Murray and Cook's scoring.

With L leilua leaning stage right, it's a pity he doesn't play in the same position as Milne who is leaning stage left so that you could balance them up.

Rabbit wrote:I don’t see how Friend is a ‘must have’. Verrills was one of the Roosters best players in the GF. Scored a try, topped the tackle count and Friend only came on in the 2nd half. I know he was coming back from injury, but why would anyone think Friend is playing big minutes with Verrills their future? Plus, he’s injury prone. It’s a no from me, even at that price.

All looks pretty good except for Stimson, Croft, Best, Lomax, Milne, Talau, and Lelesiuao.

Particularly Stimson. Have a good look at his stats. Def not someone for your starting 17. Milne Talau and Lelesiuao will not start R1. Not is it likely that Koloamatangi will either. I got him as a placeholder.

Brimson's stats are also dodgy for that matter. I don't know how he has made it into so many teams

Because he's named in the Storm 8's or because the NRL can't be fucked working out the salary cap implecations ?

Do salary cap breaches mean the Storm play with one less on the field this weekend?

Perhaps Croft’s also- but that makes sense since they would want him in a Broncos jersey. Brown just changed his Parra gear for a new strip, and I can’t work out why for the life of me.

I have the same thinking.

Robinson - "We've tried to accelerate some learnings to cover Cooper and then the other part is you get excited about they guys that have to step into his shoes - guys like Luke Keary, James Tedesco, those decision makers on the field.

"It's not up to a 10-game halfback to fill those shoes, (Cronk's) major contributions were definitely around strategic decisions on field and that needs to be moved to Keary and Tedesco."

Take this with a grain of salt because its just a post from the Roosters forum, but apparently Keary has the all clear from teh specialists and there is no ongoing effects or added risk of concussion, basically he is back to the same level of risk as any other player now.
