I think Des just didn't play him, he said he fine but just in case he gets injured, something along those lines. (It was in an article somewhere past week or so)

Gosh, if thats the case, that fills me with more doubt about how injury prone he is. My centers and WFB are a shamble atm

I reckon being made of glass may have something to do with it.

Sutton suspended rd 1 anyone interested in Guler priced at 18 to get good score and kick start some price rises? Any chance he can get around 30 mins off interchange most weeks?

If it turns out Brimson is not going to be ready for round one, and Kennedy will have the fullback spot, perhaps for longer than just the first few rounds, then for me, the template team structure is starting more and more to look like one that has rookie/low priced centres, one, perhaps even 2 rookie/low priced WFBs, value mid-rangers at hooker, FRF, and 2RF and then as many guns as you fit in after that.

For the first time I've arranged my team like this and am able to fit in Haas, Cleary and Moses which looks kinda nice.

Which edge is Capewell on? Please say To'o

How are you guys rating Watkins vs Knights cheap centre (is Shiba the front runner)?

Im not familar with either of them to be honest, so in the absence of any otbher info Im leaning to whoever gets the knights job due to the potential of more attacking stats.

Maybe Interchedge

If Drink and Brimson are both injured, and even if they play it means they're coming back from an injury, thoughts on Doohicky as a like for like replacement? What's his fantasy output like when starting fullback?

He would be right edge but L. Martin has been outstanding & Capewell is coming back from injury so imo Capewell will come off the bench. The backrow will be Martin, Kikau, Yeo/JFH

He might not get a start either

Watkins has form in Super League, how that translates to NRL, and at the Titans no less (what with their oh-so easy early rounds), he's a wait and see for mine. Shiba seems to have one of the Knights centre spots locked up, limited game time but what I saw of him when he slotted in at the Broncs he is defensively sound (something O'Brien simply has to fix for the Knights to go anywhere this year).
I'm going with Shiba & ?? still stying to decide on rolling the dice on Lomax or someone else.

Who'll be the Tigers fullback then...Thompson? I thought he was fighting for a wing spot.
Surely Doueihi only shifted to the Tigers for a permanent starting gig.

If I go with a non Taumalolo team L. Martin will be coming into my team to replace Taumalolo.

Douiehi is priced at his average at fullback. So for value he'd need to improve his scoring (if he goalkicks that might help)
but he may not even start, so I wouldn't be too enthusiastic about his fantasy prospects

Martin is a goer that's for sure, another full off-season will have made him even stronger imo.
One I'm looking at, especially if Big Lucy goes all soft on us.

L. Martin priced at 37 points but can hit around 50 points with his work rate as he did in the trial v Eels where he scored 51.
