Basically, he is able to be a great player even from the extended bench.

I’ve gone with Shiba as the Knights have a far easier draw.

Also what do we reckon D. Fifita averages?

I've got Dfifita pegged at about 55 avg over the season

Realistically around 53 for the season. It's just he has the potential to absolutely explode and score 90+ potentially more than once which would drive his average through the roof. R3 against the Titans with a weakened forward pack

This closes in about an hours time so if you want to be in it head over to

Brimson is not playing, and is no certainty to return next week

The primary focus of the article is the coach has given the players a license to throw the ball around in attack. So if you're considering Carty that is probably good news for him looking for offloads

The Titans will line up as named when they face Canberra on Friday night, with prop Moeaki Fotuaika a chance to return next week while fullback AJ Brimson could miss several more weeks with a stress fracture in his back.

“I’m probably more frustrated than AJ. We can’t help it. It’s just one of those things... you can’t keep pushing him because it makes it worse,” Holbrook said.

“We just have to keep trying to let it settle as quick as it can then get him out there when we can.

“Some days it’s really good and other days it’s not. It’s hard to play a game of rugby league if you’ve got a sore back so it’s not ideal that’s for sure."

So go Team Drinky

I bought him in when Brimson was named #18, I'm not loving it. Think if Brimson is named 1hr before kickoff I'm making a couple of team switches to fit him back in again.

Disregard my previous post lol

Lisone moves right back to the bench when Mofo is back hey?

So which player is going to kill it tonight, and cause everyone to completely rearrange their teams in order to bring him in next week with minimal fuss?

Matterson. He will kill it tonight and everyone will talk about how dangerous he'll be at the Eels and will move heaven and earth to get him. Then, he will go on a streak of 8-10 average games to punish everyone before finding his mojo after origin

With Edwards expected back sooner than later I had to make some slight changes to my team...

Welcome back to my team you handsome blue-eyed prince:

Good idea to swap Aekins to Shiba?

I have said it before and I'll say it again. I see Drinkwater putting up Munster type scores.

You have to remember he came over half way through the year. He was also chucked into the Fullback role in the 2019 pre-season to fill in for Slaters retirement. He played half all through his junior career and has now spent a whole off-season making combinations with his fullback and his outside backs... I believe Morgo is on the left hand side so Drinkwater should be on the edge that features Hess, Opacic (I think) and Feldt.

Either Fergo or Sivo are going to score 70+

I have Kennedy in my 21 now but if this Warriors second rower Elise Katoa or whatever he’s called starts I’ll then put him in over Kennedy?

Anyone else thinking the same?

Can any Warriors fans give us more info re this young back rower?

I think Matterson is the best shout for big game tonight causing mass envy. If he goes 60+, a lot of people are going to be very keen

Ferguson a chance too, but I think people will resist his lure.

Are the C and VC getting locked in as the 1st game of the round kicks off?

Or Moses now that I’ve put Cleary in over him.
