Just under 6% at the moment

Wow. If I had to guess I’d have guessed 9 percent.

New coach is the worr, can you post trial lineup for me please mate!

Titans: 1. Phillip Sami, 2. Anthony Don, 3. Kallum Watkins, 4. Brian Kelly, 5. Jonus Pearson, 6. Tyrone Roberts, 7. Ashley Taylor, 8. Jarrod Wallace, 9. Mitch Rein, 10. Sam Lisone, 11. Kevin Proctor, 12. Bryce Cartwright, 13. Jai Arrow. Interchange: 14. Jai Whitbread, 15. Tyrone Peachey, 16. Nathan Peats, 17. Tanah Boyd, 18. Dale Copley, 19. Sam Stone, 20. Jaimin Jolliffe, 21. Erin Clark, 22. Greg Lelisisauo

Fotuaika, Brimson and Shannon Boyd unavailable, but otherwise appears full strength. Not a lot of forward depth so could see Peats mostly playing as a middle the way Tevaga and B Smith do, meaning Rein is close to full game. But hard to know for sure,

Last until TLT, I don’t buy that ahahahaha 

You're on. Pretty safe bet that I'd last longer than you lol.

Suli finished the year with 60 odd games. I just think he can get that momentum going again from the end of last year.

Hey I haven’t touched my side today and I pretty much left it yesterday too!

How is moga looking, is he still struggling with injury?

The thing about Friend is he is such an easy cash down. If Verrils gets 20 mins off the bench, Friend will turn into Leilua, Tapine, Guerra, Hess etc or whichever of those 2RF looks the most promising (and let’s face it, it’s hard to start with them all) with $100k change. Personally I think I will hold off on all those 2RF (save Leilua or possibly even Stimson if he starts and has goal kicking) and waiting to see which ones look the goods. Friend is the perfect man for this, either he guns it and I keep him, or at worst he will still hold price and I make the swap

FWIW.. Madge did a radio interview today. Talked about Musgrove plenty. Only mentioned Walters and Reynolds as hooker options.. nothing on mbye playing there.

Solid strategy.

I am at the stage in my team planning that I am having more trouble selecting my NPRs

Luai is a given, and I think I have to take the chance on Walters just in case he becomes a big minute hooker. Musgrove looks like he could earn some good cash, but Keppie is tempting if he starts and gets 3-4 games (but if I have Musgrove I really don’t need any more FRFs). Then I have Magoulias tempting me in case sharks start slow and he gets the nod over Williams, and Kennedy just in case (/when the inevitable) injury plagues Moylan, also Koloamatangi, Curran, Amone, Perham, Saab in the mix.

I don’t ever remember a season with so many possible base priced cows

Definitely a decision that needs to wait for TLT though

He;s already in doubt for Round 1 with a Hammy apparently.

Yeah sure, I pretty much left my cock alone the last couple of days.

60 what Wolfie? Or have I missed something?

Yes. I haven't checked. But yes.

I have no concerns about Verills or Friend's scoring capacity. I'm considering dropping him still because it fund's other stuff and there's lots of good value hookers.

Was that only because of an injury which forced a reshuffle?

Sure someone said plan was Verrills playing for 20/30 then it got re-jigged

Just on this, I've seen it mentioned a couple of times. Verrils played the last five minutes only when the win was guaranteed. With regards to him getting less because of a HIA, my question would be, why would an injury to a starter result in less minutes for a benchie?

No Hass'Tolo, No Cry: Pre-Trial team

I reckon it is looking pretty solid and strong in most positions except for the value in 2RF. Obviously a bit worried about Stimson and will move him on if not starting but apart from that it is pretty solid. Carrigan and Friend on the bench makes everything look strong. No Koroisau. He just doesn't make the cut. i can't see where to fit him in.

Smith
Fifita Tatola
Stimson Su'A Williams
Williams Taylor
Burns Aubusson
Papenhuyzen Drinkwater Hughes

Friend Carrigan Mann Luai

Walters R. Stone, Rudolf, Perham

5K in the bank to start saving for Bateman when he comes back from injury

Because, in this case, Tupoumiua was sent on unplanned for Crichton (about a minute after coming off) costing an interchange that could well have been planned for Verrilis coming on early for Friend, with Friend coming back on for the last ten minutes.
