You'd be a pretty unique athlete if your specialist positions  were Prop and Wing. Maybe Mr Oates could move even further into the middle.

I guess Jack Bird could've achieved it had he been able to play fullback last year, and was then selected at lock this year

I think Tauk was available at wing in his first season with the Roosters in 2015. I didnt even know who he was and missed him altogether in fantasy

Peachey has started at both fullback and lock in multiple games.

Reckon the ship has sailed, getting Matt to admit he is possibly incorrect will be a difficult quest

Stimson currently a placeholder in my squad, what are chances of him getting a start?

According to the Dogs forum possible, but they are the dumbest forum out there.

Dont the dogs have a heap of backrowers. I think they also signed Waddell from Manly? Hard to say how far down the pecking order Stimson is

Placeholder currently in NPR, if near the starting lineup will keep him there mate, otherwise he can go

Pretty happy with current squad, recently replaced RTS with Laurie so have $400k sitting there waiting for further info and trails etc

Depends on the time of day.

He's being talked about as a prop in the early absence of Thompson.

I think RFM recently got injured at training and was possibly going to miss Rd 1.

further murkying the Stimson waters...

Hey guys, sorry to be this guy again. Just read back through a couple of pages and did a google, but still didn't really answer my own question.

I hadn't looked at Daine Laurie up until tonight but I see his name popping up in a lot of teams and he seems quite popular. In the googles I got the impression he might play round one at fullback before Doueihi slots into the halves for round 2 and Mbye goes to fullback for the rest of the season, or until he's dropped if he tanks again?

I assume someone has an inside scoop that there's more to this than meets the eye? What's the story with Daine Laurie, hombres?

Wow.

No he has a great average starting on the edge playing 80 and base price? Don't base your assumptions off a shit few games mate

Even using the plural 'games' is an overstatement.

He had a poor round 1 last year, and then got injured before half time in round 2.

Almost everything that made him a good pick still applies.
Main issue is that dogs have a bit of forward depth and not sure he has a long term starting spot (or even a short term one)

We are working on the assumption that Tigers want a specialist fullback, why they have pushed hard to get Laurie early. Mbye just stepped down as captain and makes a great versatile 14 option on the bench. Covers the backs and hooker. The expectation would be Laurie fullback, Mbye 6 to fill in for round 1.

There was a post last week on the dogs forum that said Stimson was training at starting prop (in the top side) in a 13 v 13 hit out

Also, while I'm asking annoying questions that have probably been discussed at length already, what's the go with the lack of BE's pre round one lock out this year? I've only played a couple of years, but if I'm not mistaken we're always allowed the luxury of each player's BE before round one? But not this year.

If I'm honest it's not a big deal but it's always nice to have that info if it's there.
