Yep. Especially as No Worries said with Halatau also in doubt to start the season. Backrow to start but would love to see him in the centres personally.

Shanbon wrote:Surely Chee-Kam gets a run in the Tigers team?

I reckon that Sue & MCK are the ones to benefit. Sue is a dpp @ 325k he's tempting. Someone mentioned Halatau might not be ready for round 1 so Sue could be a good choice as he'll probably be starting lock.

Apparently there is one back line spot up for grabs at the Tigers which Chee-Kam, Rankin, Addo-Carr in the running.

Not sure Chee-Kam will be worth it if he's just on the bench, but might be OK as an NPR cheapie.

And surely Sue doesn't have to worry about Halatau's fitness to get a run.

Right now i have Chee-Kam as an NPR in my centres with Gutherson

You wouldn't think he'd have to but as soon as Halatau was named VC it was like, oh ffs, until he gets injured he's definitely in the 17. Great servant for the club, but we have better in his position like Sue. Good news for Cherrington though if Halatau ends up starting. There's one bloke we don't want getting disillusioned.

If only it was open today. sigh!!

Pauli Pauli getting into that Knights pack rotation?

I'm not sure how we're going to line up to be honest, we're very light for props so wouldn't surprise me to see someone shift from the 2nd row to prop.

I certainly think he benefits from Tariq Sims insisting on spending the first month out.

Rochow is a future Knights captain. Jeremy Smith will play lock with Tapine coming off the bench. So it leaves an opening spot for him for sure. I think he gets the first month starting and then gets dropped back to the bench when Sims returns.

Looking at our forward pack of K Sims, Stockwell, Paea and Snowden we're going to struggle in the engine room. Will put a lot of pressure on the flanks.

I'd be interested to see how Levi goes, I think he could unseat Randall as 9 and make the position his own. I feel this time neck year he will be a lock for most teams.

Smokey for the Knights is Bhana. He will play for us this year off the bench. Former Junior Kiwi captain. Plays 2nd row. If he gets named I might pick him up, although does feel more like Rory O'Brien rather than SST.

Also for those thinking about Rochow..

Off contract this year.

Interesting that you think he may get a start over Tapine?
Pauli Pauli could be a decent option to take over Joel Thompsons place in fantasy sides if he misses the first few rounds

Tapine was explosive off the bench for us last year, I think Brown will see that and give him another year to find his feet and he'll start to get more and more minutes

At this stage Addo-Carr has dropped behind Rankin and Chee-Kam. Addo-Carr likely to play fullback in NSW Cup with Rankin starting at centre

Has Pauli Pauli definitely signed with the Knights has he? I knew there was talk but haven't seen anything official yet

Was it Addo-Carr that was being touted as super quick?  I like the fact Rankin is having another crack at the NRL.  Must be hard getting those accolades and wraps so young and never going on with it.  Problem is it is just another small centre for us.  We haven't been menacing in the centres or second row for 4 or 5 years now.

Chee-Kam and Henry both DPP at CTR/2RF.

Does it make sense to have both then?

You could do worse then have one of them lingering as 5th or 6th 2rf and one of them lingering as 4th centre.  If Henry stays fit and gets the game time he will make a motza; and I would be extremely surprised if Chee Kam is not in the 17 Round 1 at this stage.
