I wasn't keen early on but he actually came into Panthers team last year when they were struggling bad (12th place, 2 wins out of 6 and they then fell to 15th place with 2 wins out of 9)

I think with more reliable team with Koroisau HOK (had bad team at stage with injuries with Katoa/Egan HOK, Tim Grant, MWZ wing in 2019) he should benefit and score mid 30s

How many minutes will Guler get in rd1 with Sutton out? Want to play in 17

Just hoping that the Panthers improve on last year and Aekins scores can get in the 35-40 range

I am not convinced of Mr. Aubbo... but don't see space for both Verills and Sitili Tupouniua on our bench. If Verills stays that could be huge for aubo! In any case I think you're gambling on whether crichton or aubo plays 80 mins and I reckon crichton has to on his pedigree.

I currently have both of them at FRF!

I am falling off Knight. Priced at 39. How much does he really improve? I dont see him becoming a 50 pt players. I see him averaging similar to what he did at prop last year and becoming more of a Tim Glasby type player and less of a Cameron Murray type.

How do these fix CTR?

Centre just goes from a position I was going to invest heavily in, in Bird, to a position where I'll just say fuck you for now and throw two cheapies in there and put the money somewhere more worthwhile.

I loved the idea of Bird there but no one else at all appeals to me, so I don't want to put money into players I have no faith in when there are delicious options everywhere else.

Banner, straight up.

I was going Taumalolo + a cheapie as 17th. None of the cheapies look promising atm.

I may just run with DFifita + Stimson instead

Yeah, I'm much the same, hence why, as above, I'm considering just going all in with Tolo. Only issue is where else that limits my options...

This too. You could see it as the coach thinks Crichton is the "better" of the two and values his defence and attack of Auboson so Crichton will fill in at CTR and then once Morris comes Crichton will move to 2RF?

Then again, why didnt Crichton play 2RF last year?

With the Bird news I have traded him out for Drinkwater and traded in Stimson for Walters. Only problem is I’m not sure who to leave as 18th man out of he,Sua or Brailey? What do you think guys?

The more I look at these cheapies the worse it looks. Might really look at Kennedy. At the moment I have no CTR cover though. That could be a problem.

I have 400k to spend on my final 17 player. I want any forward but Stimson.
I have been toying with Brailey but I took him out of my team for a reason a while ago (I’m just not sure what that reason was anymore). Surely he can still find 40 points playing 60 mins? Having a starting position always helps because there is plenty of clean tackles going on before everyone gets tired and starts missing them. His most worrying thing is that historically he offers nothing but tackles stats. Mahoney worked out for me with a similar style last year but he was playing 80

I'm in the same boat. Going Stimson but Brailey is number 17. I don't like the thought of a Lomax type player in number 17 either but could somehow post similar scores depending on how many minutes Brailey plays. There's really no forwards 400K or under to get.

Anyone think having Aekins, Walters, Kennedy and Stimson in the 21 will be too man early-round trade outs?

I currently have no Titans, Raiders, Warriors, Rabbitohs or Manly players in my squad. I feel I need a Rabbitohs and Manly player with all their attacking prowess.

Also have 15 out of my starting 17 as no Origin players (Friend and Moses included in this but will be around the Origin chat this year).

Out of my current 21 I have 14 R12 players with 3 (Friend, Fifi, Haas) the only real Origin threats for now.

You're right. I've got a fkn headache now haha

I wonder who my first banner will be for?

Thats because historically he was brought on just to spell his brother and make sure the middle doesn't break up. Wasn't there something where he said he wants to play 80 minutes. Also Tracey is a HLF, as mentioned a lot earlier, I see him getting anywhere from 0-20 minutes rather then 20-30 minutes.

Lil Brailey was always viewed as the better brother and the long term prospect of the club. I see him eventually becoming an 80 minute player.

Now I am considering sacking friend in favour of Aubo + bolstered 17
