The center spot vacated by Scott at Raiders has 2 rookies in the mix.

Would it not be cotric..?

Capewell and JFH updates

Kurt Capewell will have to wait an extra week to make his Panthers debut after sustaining a minor quad strain.

James Fisher-Harris is likely to feature in the trials following pectoral surgery last October.

JFH is a beast

On the Dogs teamlist, I'd say Jackson is 100% to get one of the R1 back row roles, CHN 95% and Elliott maybe 80%. Doesn't leave a lot of room for Stimson.

The one to look at is Reimis Smith, another low 300k centre to file with Best and Watkins when he gets DPP.

James Roberts training the house down

CNK picks his fantasy team. More Raiders than Archer. https://www.nrl.com/news/2020/02/18/cnk-picks-his-nrl-fantasy-team/

15 pages sheesh
And missing the pool party :
Took a bit to catch up on the thread. McInnes out long term is a bit of a bummer, captain Isaako not being named at FB is interesting. Carrigan at lock... hmmm
Not much wiser on the Momo Grant deal. Trooper being engaged...
It's all happening today

Apparently McInnes is out for 3 months

Yeah they did say 6-12 weeks

Does he pick himself? If fantasy involved expect him taking on line more

Nope picked RTS, Maumalo and Simonsson with Beale on the bench

Was it here or on FB was posted people with same grade injury back to 2006 and longest out was 8 weeks

Didn't pick himself. Just as well he is good at league, as he sucks at fantasy. Only interesting pick was Guler, interesting to see if he gets a bigger role.

Agree with you Rhino;
don't really know what Pay is doing with his roster - edge 2RF coming out thicker than mushrooms after the rain. RFN, CHN, Jackson (C) is an obvious starter, Elliott and then he makes a play for Stimson?? Surely Stimson wouldn't leave a bench forward role at one of the dominant teams in the NRL to go to a bench role at one of the weaker teams

I'm holding him in my 17 pending TLT. If he gets the starting gig his ownership will jump.

To be fair I looked at Beale a little bit ago because of his price and the amount of tile he spent on the bench last year. If he starts I’ll probably pick him up

Been tinkering around with The Bludgers, here's the latest iteration.

Unmade Bed – Friend (Injury prone, but too juicy at his price and potential upside)
FRF – Haas / Merrin (Wanted Big-Haas for set and forget Capt. 2nd FRF could be Knight / Mofo / Lawrie, I worry about Krispy-Kreme, he’s burned me twice before…)
2RF – Tolo / DFifi / Stimson (TL dependent on Stimson)
Hlf – Croft / Luai (weak Halves, but I wanted Tolo)
Cnt – Suli / Moga (Got nuthin. POD pick, gut feeling based on Suli’s efforts late 2019 and faith in Des to keep working him.)
WFB – Pappy / Brimson / Drinky (Rabbits convinced me to pick up Drinky over Isaako
etc., DPP helps cover any Half injuries)

14 – 17 – Brailey / Williams / Tetavano / Koro
18 – 21 – Magoo / S. Crichton / Smith-Shields / G. Leleisiuao (or another $228k)

Feel free to carve it up - the regular crew on here have waaaay more Fantasy cred than I do.

re: Dogs

Napa Tolman
CHN Jackson
Elliot
Britt To’omaga Stimson Katoa

I still reckon they’d be way better with Jackson @ lock, Stimson to start, Elliot to bench and with that, RFM fits in too (with To’omaga/Britt out of the 17).

Still got a few spots in my league guys

WJPRWJSP

I was committed to starting with McInnes. Bugga.
So what do people think about starting with Friend and Koro (who are in my team already) as the HRKs and start playing around with trading McInnes to some one cheap to upgrade elsewhere?
I'm inclined to just trade McInnes to CS9?
