Wish I was mate, found out via rugbyleagueguru on Insta. Best not to curse the players before the season starts, they might all start breaking down!

Isaako able to bear weight and if ankle and not fit should be back to full fitness by R1 they reckon. Looks to have re-aggravated an existing injury

Surely Staines will be high on everyones list. Should get discount for only playing two games. I see him possibly around 300-350K???

In the squad somewhere probably, but can he live up to his own hype after the stop-start to his career last year?

Rookie watch? How long is Croker out for?

Unless he gets major manual discount he'll be in mid 600k mark

62.5 average * 0.76 (8 game discount * 0.03) * 13400 MN = 637000

I'm going to try and resist extensive planning til team lists. Keyword there is 'try.'

What is this madness??? 5 pages since I logged in yesterday

Do we think CHN gets a start at the Raiders?

Id have Tapine, Young, whitehead ahead of him.

Bias opinion, Raiders have the best back in the comp.

Mansour a done deal with Souths on a two year deal (foxsports)

they have plenty of outside backs with gagai graham burns & johnston + paulo, moga, marster, cartright.

there were rumours around a while back that gagai was going to return to the broncos, maybe there is osmething to that. note that there is nothing to substantiate this

Its a red hot backline. the pack outside of murray and cook are below average. Arrow could come good.

Sua and Arrow both QLD reps, Turgess an England rep, Tatola is a massive up and comer, Knight is a bit bland but gets the job done, Koala a big bodied youngster... then from there its a bit bleh

I reckon they've got a good mix there, could well be their year.

Don't make me refer to "worst qld team ever" haha

I just think that Murray is the only proven player. Sua had a solid year last year I guess. Murray and Su'a are the only two players id okay with if my team signed them at market rate. The rest would want to be huge unders, coz they are either average or too unknown. Just my opinion.

Yeah that's fair enough.. I see that... I guess I am always very optimistic... I just feel a Raiders and Rabbits GF is incoming

Hodgson, Horseburgh back on deck. Ryan James joining the fold and then a bit of depth around the park.

Whitehead will get one spot. Tapine I think will be a lock/middle. CHN and Young would be fighting for the other spot. That's just my guess at what will happen

Ricky has said in a few interviews that CHN would be getting the start in 2021

And as we all know coaches never tell lies
