I'm picking Bird based solely on his haircut.

How do you feel your overall team balance is with two higher priced CTRs, and Bird doesn't exactly inspire me yet. I see him more as a wait and see pick.

I'm not too unhappy with my balance. A little light in 18 through to 21 but all starters who should make some cash. That being said, I hate looking at those two ctrs. Both broken and both massive gambles. I don't like it. But the flip side to that is, I hate spending money on ctrs. I feel I'd rather have two blokes I can lock in til the break (hopefully half a season) rather than falling into the same trap I do every year of constantly wasting trades on that position.  Bit of a damned if I do damned if I don't scenario.

You dont feel any lack of guns in your squad then with the money spent? Like there is definitely value elsewhere but if your two CTRs combine for say 30 more points than most other chosen CTRs does the rest of your team keep pace?

I fear TLT will still send not be enough for me, I need the DPP from Knight and Carrigan to be added to get the team i'm happy starting the season with

Can we see Croft getting around 300 kick metres a week?

You ain't gonna get much outta us broncs fans outside of speculation mate... He's just joined the club, under a coach in his first full pre season and he's young and relatively unproven. I've followed the kid from early days and he has talent. But he also has a bit of a chip on his shoulder IMO and needs to prove himself yet before I'll cop that sorta shit.

I will say, his kicking game is well above Milford. I know MTB rates Milfs kicking game and he has definitely improved in the last few years but Croft will work his way to owning that for Bris from mid year onwards I'd say. He comes from a Melb system we all know is good. He can definitely run but I worry he won't be given that option as Milfs running game is a lot more damaging.

I will not take anything that a trial presents as worth weighing in on.

Good thing I am not picking you for my Fantasy team.

If named at Lock they will get it. If a player is named in a nrw position come TLT they will get the new position added assuming they dont have DPP so you should be okay if all the rumours are true.

thoughts on which combo is better?

A: Levi + Watkins

B: Brailey + Burns

You mean I won't have to wait until Wednesday??

Means I can go Knight - 2RF and put Haas in over Fifita

Don't live with regrets. Get on early.

Oh shit yeah I do! Lol. I'd love to have Lolo to go with my Hass, Moses, Papy, DFita etc. But there's so much depth and value in the almost every position outside of ctr. Am I concerned that the rest of my team may be a little lighter earlier on in other positions, yeah, of course. But again, if I only have to spend two direct trades on ctrs all year (barring injury) and make a straight jump to keepers, it'll work out for me

Happy TLT! At least you guys don’t have faded curtains and your cows aren’t confused as to when to come home. I guess it’s hot enough up there already without adding yet another hour of daylight!

Please there is so much value in your league with Honey Badgers. That may change so I may need to redo my picks and keep you in mind.

Wakeham and JMK start
Bulldogs bench is Holland, Toomounga, Britt, RFM - Means Stimson is totally missing from the team

Drinkwater expected to be fit to play

Jurbo and AFB indications are earlier return than expected, round 2 for Jurbo, round 2-3 for AFB.

Note for those choosing cheap Knights Centers, Best is due back round 4.

Lowe should be ok to play

That surely can’t be right Re: Stimson

So helps Melbourne Storm fight for titles every year off the bench and can’t make the Dogs 17. What the...

Surely both of those will happen. I just can’t find the extra money to go Knight!

Also for guys who dont know.

Especially considering the logjam that was 2RF and being signed and moving there still. Surely he is one of the first names behind Jackson.
