That win and the series win by India was one of the greatest things in sport I have witnessed

Agree mate I haven’t seen anything as brave as that before especially with the 9-10 guys they had it.

Great option if he stays fit, he can't/won't so will come down to how long he stays on the pitch and how quickly he can generate cash before you have to dump him

Too cheap to not start with for a likely starting hooker

Hadn't noticed Mad Jack is 322k. Great value for a starting front row with attacking ability, but how much loading does he have (ie is he out for five games the first time he coathangers somebody)?

Egan is an absolute cabbage

Not wrong. I have Liddle who is so injury prone ahead of him in my pecking order.

I'd rather discount a player on fantasy ability than injury history, Liddle has at least shown he can score well when injury free.

I have every player in fantasy history over Egan. including Feeney

That’s the issue with quite a number of these 300k players is how long til they break down with injury again or get suspended due to their own stupidity!

D. Walker and the Jet look cheap for centre so I’ll likely go with one of them. Knowing my luck I’ll pick the one that gets injured or flops whilst the other kills it.

If Averillo starts at 6 everyone will pretty much have him at centre!

How likely do you think it is that Averillo will start at 6?

Simpkins (the next big thing) is next in line after Liddle. Walters would be next (he’s injured until Rd 10 ish and possibly T/F to dad at The Broncos). Mbye could also play (if the starting HOK goes down during a match) there but more likely he will be used in the backs. Mbye shoukd get 14?over Simpkins due to his ability to play so many positions. Saints fans are saying McInnes wants out to join the Tigers immediately. He will be more important at 13 and covering 9 if injury or end of match. We’ll see!

Is mbye pencilled in at halves though with Brooks or will he be a utility 14 covering 1-7 plus 9. With Walters out for so long, tigers look pretty light around the pivots, 6,7, 9 especially if injuries kick in. Will simpkins get a bench spot, or will he be waiting in the wings for the inevitable injury to liddle.

I know how effective Tevaga is off the bench or at lock but I'd love to see Egan shunted and play Jazz there, if only to get better players on the park, Egan is such a dud. Offers nothing

AFB
Tevaga
LAM
Katoa
Tohu
BMM

Lawton
Evans
JTB
Sironen/Murchie

Has the BSmith sweepstakes been decided?

Karl Lawton is out for the season mate

Reading what Dogs fans are saying they are hopeful he will get first shot in the 6.

Besides Egan and Jazz then do the Warriors have any other hookers? What’s happened to Nathaniel Roache?

Also Sironen can play hooker as well no issues. He played hooker in the second half of last years Charity Shield and killed it for Souths at hooker and changed the game with some spark and energy.

Roche has gone. Warriors best option probably to play Nikorima at hooker and find another half (Turner if he's ready, maybe Hiku) but think they'll be starring with Egan. If Siro can spell hooker means they can play a bigger bench with three other forwards.

Shit didn't realise that, played well last year, decent spark around the pitch, lost a decent bench utility there

With Jazz, Nikorima and Sironen all very capable of playing hooker, I doubt the Warriors carry one on the bench.

I'm not sure Liddle's injuries are likely high re-injury rates, moreso just bad luck sometimes with ACL & knee injuries

As opposed to Milford/Moylan & other hamstring injuries where NRL Physio mentions 10-30% re-injury rate depending on circumstances

Word seems to be growing on some sort of McInnis to Tigers, Walters to Broncos, McCullough to Dragons mad trade.

The big loser there is the Dragons. What they hell are they doing?

I haven't been keeping up with off season news but I read they offered him a 3 year deal but the problem was the Dragons wanted the Broncos to stump up some of this years cash, Broncos said no.

If Turpin is going to be the starting 9 then Walters isn't the worst pick up to be the back up.

Griffin really wants all the holy trinity of ex broncos, hunt norman and macca

Is this for 2021 or 2022. I've seen both mentioned

Mbye will be either FB or 14. Doueihi will be 5/8 (suspended for Rd 1). Really depends on how long it takes for Laurie to get here. At present Mbye is our only FB.
