Rabbits21 is quicker then Kramer;

I love that episode! Easily the greatest 22 mins of tv comedy ever!

Here's my 2 cents after the trails:

Haas, BBrailey, Knight, Carrigan, Koro, Lucy, Williams, Moses, Rudolf, JTB, Wiliame

Su'a, Hess, Walters, Aekins, Musgrove, Curran, Magoulias

Cust could take similar minutes from Levi.

Maybe even more if manly likes talent.

Anyone know how long Levi played?

Just had a look at Moses Cleary as my halves. So the option would be A)Cleary + Lucy or B)Friend + DaFita

I THINK 50-60. They had nobodies out there the last quarter. Looked a good fantasy asset in that time too. Not sure what it translated into, as far as points mind

They reckon 37 on the nrl site. Sounds like he was on track for 50 (including a try).

Least played the first half. I thought I saw him start of the 3rd quarter too

Would agree with most of that, but don't think it's fair to judge Su'a on an HIA if he's still starting 2rf, and, given prices, I'd have Musgrove as a + and Knight as a 50/50.

34mins.

How do you think he goes in real stuff come rd 1?

Just on the Tigers, Musgrove looked great today.  But from a non Fantasy point of view, it might suit us better if he comes off the bench as well through the season.  I'm willing to have him in my 18-21 at this stage pending TLT.


Walters did miss a lot of tackles as previously posted, but it was only because he was trying to make so many.  Whilst replaced at the 33 minute mark, he was sucking in the big ones 7 or 8 minutes prior to that and collapsed on his knees as soon as he crossed the sideline when subbed.  He wasn't scared to be the first tackler and also loves a 3rd man in so from a Fantasy pov that is encouraging.  It almost looked like he was trying too hard, so with some match fitness and getting used to being in the frontline, he could go okay.  Service looked good but didn't pay attention to a passing side bias.  We did spend a fair bit more time right side of the sticks though I think but didn't have a lot of possession in his first stint.  As expected Grub bought great energy though and again from a non Fantasy pov, I think we are better off with him on the bench playing each side of HT so maybe only 50 mins for Walters? That said Walters will probably creep into my Trousers unless a better prospect pops up. Got a good feeling about him.


The right edge was great and Lucy consolidated his Fantasy stocks.  BJ and Nofo not Fantasy relevant for me at this stage with their pricing, but are shaping up to be great Draft picks.


Corey Thomson was great as usual but thinking Grub gets the bench spot after today so that means Madge has a big decision to make. For me Rennings should make way for any changes to the back 5 to fit Doohickey in as a starter.

I apologise for asking as I know someone posted this already, but I'm unable to find it.
Can someone please tell me where I can find the stats for the trial games over the weekend? I can't see anything on the official nrl site, just 2019 stats. Thanks in advance.

The only negative I noticed re J. Williams who had a great game was his tendency to do a Capewell......i.e. he would make a tackle & before the tackle was completed he would let go & run back to the defensive line. I saw him do this approx 4-5 times I think so although it's no problem in real life nrl it is a problem for fantasy because it's a missed tackle.

Exactly and there is too much value in Fifita and Moses

Too much value in Moses? on what basis?

EDIT: I think you can confidently argue for a couple points of value given that's the discount he is at, however unlike others where you can argue for significant value, his role isn't changing, nor his minutes, and to add to that he is coming off a record year. You'd be making the assumption that not only will he be able to match that year, but actually improve on it by quite a bit IF you are suggesting there is too much value... cant see it mate. Not a bad pick by any means, but not a lock be any stretch.

go to nrl.com - click draw - click the telstra premiership tab down arrow - click pre season trials

Edit: never mind

Sometimes the skids can be hard to find with age mate, dont worry.

At the risk of sounding like a rabbit can someone give me a rough idea of how many minutes Croft and haas played so I know how enticed I need to be by Croft mainly. 300+km each week and likes a scurry makes him a decent fantasy prospect despite me not liking him that much as a player in real life
