Koro Su'a Brailey Walters
Luai 3x 228/246
Frf is still a huge whole and would probably have to drop lolo of friend to fill it which I'm not down to do.
See I think there will be a number of variations where one team may have knight over cardigan, one may have Hess over Sua or Lowe over Stimson or Hess and Stimson over S’ua and Williams. Some will run with gun and cow half some will run gun and mid. I think teams will actually differ quite a bunchrhinoceroo wrote:
Really strong team but, as per what I've been talking about, I'd expect several hundred other teams to be within one player of it.

I think the Hess/Sua/Stimson differences will resolve over TLT. Many are assuming Stimson is bench but if he starts, everyone will get him becauae he's cheaper.
Agree that the Haas or Lolo or Haas and Lolo dynamic creates different teams, but they're largely three groups of similar teams.
Maybe I'm just cranky because I keep buiding teams that look like everyone else's, but there's something to be said for against the grain... Booze did that last year and did well. My own WAG team was left field and so were a lot of its in-season trades and it came top 10 while my main team which I thought about and analysed much more... didn't.

Suli Cotric CGraham Ravalawa
All players who imo have potential to be solid scorers and/or a quick cash and grab.
Suli is interesting because last year was really his first year of “consistent” football, and he showed glimpses of what he can be. If he can fix up his lapses and has a proper dig...
Cotric hopefully gets some early ball this year and that would allow him to bounce around a bit more. Always an upside to him. Also, he’s wanting that blues jersey.
CGraham is interesting. I see him a bit like Burns. Still young, quietly gaining confidence. Souths need big metres from the back three this year. Also, the in air rule change could benefit him.
Ravalawa looks fit AF, thought it was Sivo out there. A bit like Suli with his lapses.

Based on this you would have to say Lisone, Carrigan and Leilua are the must haves, but there has been very little interest in Lisone. I believe this is an overestimate once the Titans are bac to full strength. I would also add Tatola into this mix. He is starting this year and he could well benefit from the disruption to the Souths middle more than Knight.
where Kiwis go for more trouble. It’s like bloody Disneyland to them. They’ve only grabbed him because James is dead. It’s a one year contract. I can see him starting maybe the first <5 or so games before he becomes obsolete in QCup or punches someone in a takeaways carpark late at night and plays out the remainder of his career in SuperLeague.

March him on for who though?? Fainu indefinitely suspended for being a complete moron and their only other options are Cust, Croker (who are makeshift HOKs). I actually thought Zack Dockar-Clay was part of their squad as top 30 who's a HOK but he's not (just part of their Canterbury Cup squad and he also didn't play HOK whole season in Canterbury Cup after seeing player page)

Not sure what's in the kool-aid at Fox

Was tongue in cheek Camo as they’re screwed, but an interesting insight into the blokes mentality! Feel more comfortable with my Manly missing the 8 ladder prediction

Milchcow wrote:This is Booze's starting team last year (or what he sent me via pm 2 hours before round 1 lockout)
Number in brackets was rank of player in popularity.
Cook (20)
Vaughan (88) Tolman (70)
Arrow (46) Murray (13) Lane (100)
Morgan (14) Keighran (2)
Capewell (31) Holland (111)
Burns (79) Ravalawa (5) Sivo (22)
McCullough (45) Friend (54) Mahoney (49) Garner (27)
Nikora (3) Brown (1) Garrick (12) Simonsson (51)
His biggest POD was Kerrod Holland, who wasn't a POD on this site (same goes for Burns too). Most of his players were just regular picks. Lane and Vaughan were the closest to POD status, but it was pretty much a cookie cutter forum team.
