Panthers have 4 of the same but Dragons & Tigers instead of Eels & Sea Eagles and yet everyone is also picking Aekins without many people questioning it -  opening 6 games of ROOSTERS, dragons, storm, BRONCOS, RAIDERS, TIGERS (Caps = home games)

Aekins also probably only the 6 weeks of gametime as well (obviously price is a factor)

First month of footy is great in NQ, TLT is at 2pm instead of 3pm. Friday night games are at 5pm and 7pm instead of 6pm and 8pm.

For those that dont know of him, Ardie is a beast in Union, he has a damaging running game and at 26 has some good years in front of him. Will be interesting if he makes the move.

You guys that know league will be able to say where he might fit in, but listed as 95kg and 1.88m, could be suited to lock? In Union he makes a ton of tackles, is super fit, and runs very hard.

Knight Carrigan
Su'a Williams Fifita
Drinkwater Taylor
Shibasaki Lomax
Sailor Brimson Aetkins

Levi
Koro
Brailey
Mann
Luai
Magoo

1.67m ITB

Only looking at guys with a chance of improving with the exception of Shibasaki, who is there only because he is DPP and likely to get a start. I'm looking at having a bit of cash in the bank for round 1 to cover for bad choices and injuries, and to pick up missed cows and under-performing guns. Would like at least 400k ITB.

Also, have been wondering why a few people don't think Aubo is the Black Widow anymore.

Off contract at the end of the year with Pearce and Klemmer begging him to come to the Knights, I think he is bound for an uptick and could be a handy POD. averaged just under 48 (47.7) points in 2018 and has proved he can push 50 (averaged 51.4 in 2015). Last year (38.7) was by far his worst in his career and was constantly asked to move around due to injury.
If he can get back to playing 60-80 minutes on the edge I think he could possibly be 7-10 points underdone and either turn into a borderline keeper or become a great stepping stone to a gun around Origin time.

Finding a POD in 2rf around this price is hard because there are so many option 550K and under that could score similar to some of these players. With this pick, you know what you are getting; an absolute work horse who gets through a lot of work and knows how to find the try line.

I haven't seen myself recently but he seemed to think guerra was lower in the pecking order and had been cruising a bit too much. Can't stress enough though that we hear stuff but don't sit in on selection meetings or get told directly what's happening aside from pressure to get someone back when they are a starter etc, mostly wait to see what's happening at training. This weekend we'll have close to our full strength side and be starting with as close to our round 1 team as possible so should give us a fair idea

I'm also mostly with the younger sides and cup. Should get to do a few games early in the season but which will be cool

Capewell bench probably makes sense as he can cover backs as well. I feel as though Yeo is better suited to middles thesedays, though, but seems like Panthers are pretty limited. One injury in their forwards and they're up against it immediately.
