Friend
Haas Knight
Fifita Williams Leilua
Moses Luai
Lomax SCrichton
Papy Brimson Aekins

Koro
Levi
Brailey
Carrigan

Musgrove
Curran
Perham
Magoulias

Carrigan over Knight surely!

Went well in the last trial match and scored a strong try in this one .
Some highlights, but not really fair with his size haha. Interesting to see how he goes with some extra gametime with the Jets this year

Looks like the next Haas. Does he have the motor to play big minutes?

Jason Bukuya had off season ankle surgery, don't think he's even running yet

Well there would be a few in front of him and still has that 'puppy fat' so is nowhere near the specimen Haas is.
Would take a couple injuries in the front row to see gametime
Who knows after a full preseason with the senior team and another year playing men with the Jets

Anyways not sure if you saw any Jets games last year? Rudolf is going to have a big year, reminds me of a young Ryan James (Looks similar too)
He has a big motor and a bit of a late bloomer due to some unlucky injuries but have been following progress for a little bit hoping he would get his chance in the NRL.
The form forward in NSW cup last year and with Prior/Gallen gone he might be in for a big year

Has been on the outer for a while now, not sure if it's a Morris thing but unsure if we will ever see him in Sharks colours again and wouldn't be suprised to see him in SL soon

I feel obligated to pick Rudolf as he was the inspiration for my team name Rudolf the Red-Nosed Rein Dearden

So bench could be Tracy, Magoulias, Uele, Rudolph. Tracy covers hooker and backline, Magoulias covers his primary position of lock, Uele and Rudolph front row.

Not that Bukuya was big, Morris has already said he likes a mobile pack .

Maybe but he didn’t play a single minute there Magoulias in their only real trial

I expect 80 from Nikora and Graham and Williams probably 60 himself. Don’t be surprised to see a Tracey/Rudolf/Hunt/Uele

Also wouldn’t surprise Kennedy getting a bench spot when Moylan back, but not sure how that looks

I wouldn’t be shocked if they go Tracey, Uele, Rudolf and Sorensen.

How are we all feeling re Drinkwater?

How did Douehi look in his trial?

Rabbits21 wrote:How are we all feeling re Drinkwater?

I have him in at the moment but am bit iffy

Worried that minor pec strain might play on his mind as he missed the start of the season last year with pec injury

Not really worried about scoring ability though. I think he'll do fine with extra base stats and being closer to the ball and having a full pre-season

Edit: Casualty ward says he remains in doubt for R1, damn it

Currently my bench has an average price that is higher than my 2RF starters. I consider this to be better value than having D. Fifita in my side. A. Fifta is also in my side. Under priced keeper. How can you say no?

Can't see that much competition for the cowboys no 6 jersey.

Somehow I’ve ended up with a ctr pairing of BJ and Ramien.

Where are the rest of your emergencies going as there does not seem to be enough cheapies?

Luai/Burton & Rudolf is all I got so far. TLT will determine the other 2 spots. A couple of backs like (1) Wiliame if Mary drops 1 of Lafai/Aitken. It would have to be Lafai dropped because he came on at left ctr in the trial. He would also get dpp if named at ctr because he's currently wfb. And (2) W. Kennedy if Moylan is out for a while.

I haven't read anything in this newest thread so hoping it hasn't been covered.
HRKs. I like 4. Friend, Koro, Levi and Jrailey. I can only start with 3 of them.
Thinking I have to go with Friend and Koro so thoughts on Levi v J.Brailey. $$s a bit tight if I chose Brailey but might be worth it.
