AEDT or NZ? Surely not to bed at 8.30pm (Qld time)?

It's a good question, the main difference is that Mann has some more data, new coach not withstanding, something like a 37 average at 5/8. Luai could indeed be Elgey 2.0, we really don't know yet, but I back him in for low 30's+ like most rookie halves.

I remember Luai scoring 2 point short of a century... I haven't seen Elgey do that.

I think he'll be in my 17.

No Rabbit, Alas!

Said, said, said, I remember when-we enjoyed Rabbit
In the annals of the fanatics forum
And then Pookus would make his fire light, I seh
A predictable fire burnin' through the night
Then we would bitch about how every team, the sehm
Please don't share it with us
His feet are his only carriage
And so hes gone and pushed on through…

No, Rabbit, Alas
No, Rabbit, Alas
'Ere, little darlin', you bitch'n should confess
No, Rabbit, Alas

Yeah Mann seems the better defender, but did Milch post recently that his average was better at half than 5/8 and his stats are skewed because of these games? I can’t recall.

Luai will get more missed tackles but has that tackle busting ability, so he will have a lower floor and higher ceiling. I guess that why I’ve paid the extra 100k for man because I just seen him at stable 30s, whereas Luai could be 10-40. It will smart if I run with Mann with Luai outscoring him in NPRs, with that 100k gone begging.

Was Flanno and Brimson but gone AT7 and Brimson which is worrying but could be any combo. May end up changing my mind and get Cleary + cheap but really not confident with Luai in 17

I don’t trust Taylor or Brimson. Maybe it’s my lack of faith in the Titans attack. But what do I know, I’m running Mann I had Flanno in that category too but he looked pretty solid in the WCC

Loomer is from across the dutch.

Exactly! I mean some will take a rookie WFB because they play 80 and might score a try or two. But someone playing in/near the middle of the field for 80 that has gone large before, oh no, won't go near that!

There is only 1 rabs.

Ah, makes sense.

I think you can trust Brimson, his average at FB in 70+ minute games (so 8x 80 minute games at FB plus one 77 minute game where he started off the bench but played FB for most of the game) is 45.1, and he's priced at 32.

Consider that he averaged this playing for a spoon side that only had two wins in those 9 games (vs Broncos and Manly), I think he's pretty likely to average at least low 40s if not mid 40s.

There are at least 40 of us that are in the top 10 posters

But I’m number 1. Still not sure how I’m not even a mod yet.

 Love it mate. I'll bring it up at our next board meeting.














We don't really have board meetings. Or maybe we do and I'm not invited. That would be embarrassing!

NRL.com predicting Tapine will indeed move out to the edge to replace Bateman

Priced at 33
Career average of 47.5 when playing 70+ minutes in the second row
Excluding the round 1 disaster last year, his 2018 average was 51.1 over 14 games (6 tries including two doubles)
Less appetising, 2017 average there was 39 over 5 games, 2 tries

So very up and down. Huge ceiling with very low floors.
Tempting nonetheless, but so many rivals around his price point.
Somehow still has double the ownership of an L.Leilua

Are people sold on Moses averaging 55 points per game again?

Is there a Tigers team list or just squad? Leilua named?

I am, but priced at 52, any more is a bonus right?
