    “He is a real down to earth character but we know that he can be an enforcer and that is what he needs to be for us,” Arthur said.

    “He is a very good player. He is big. He is strong. He is mobile. And he is happy to do the tough stuff.

    “He can play some pretty stuff for you but he also knows all the effort areas we require from him.

    “And the key for ‘Junes’ moving forward I reckon is we need him on the field for as long as possible.

    “So he needs to be able to keep quality but do it for longer periods. Like real big minutes.

    “He can do 60/65 minutes standing on his head.

    “But I want some real big minutes out of him this year.

    “I don’t think we need to play him for 80 minutes but I’m sure if we had to call on him for 80 he is smart enough to know how to get himself through it.”

    So he wants him to play close to 80 ? Strange/interesting

    Looks like I can expect similar numbers to last year. I'll start a new thread shortly after the release of this years Leagues

    Have a link?

    Seems unusual, for the trial he has a 4 middle bench, with Brown also a huge middle MID and RCG can play big minutes too.

    Looking forward to another year of fantasy with you all lads.

    Been tinkering the last couple of days and have ended up with the below which I'm pretty happy with for now. My main consideration atm is whether to have Macca and cheaper WFB or Egan and Papy, and then Gosie a bit of a placeholder right now, I'm sure TLT will change some things on the bench

    Brailey
    Crichton Watson Ah Mau
    Fifita Riki
    Cleary CHT
    Roberts Averillo
    Teddy Papy Hopoate

    Egan Ford Lam Koloa
    Liddle Gosie Niu Simpkin

    That tells me avoid N. Brown as he won’t be seeing massive mins each week. He will be sharing it a bit with Paulo.

    Pretty sure i heard arthur say recently that mahoney wont be an 80 min player. Papalii on the bench may play mainly edge so could just be two "middle" forwards on bench.. altho been suggested rhat lane will play some middle too

    Looked good but needs time to develop, can’t see him seeing much first grade this year, maybe a game or 2 max. He is for mine not fantasy relevant this year.

    One to look at next year.

    Last season Paulo was probably the worst affected by playing big minutes in the comp. Average > 40 minutes of 51 and > 60 minutes of 52.

    He has lost weight and has his fitness up, really tempting if he could hit a 60 average in 65 minutes. Does the hard work but also has a great offload, has the potential to be a big minute version of Taupau.

    I’m starting to warm to him.
    He has never left my team.


    I have only made the one draft though.

    Suaalii hype is for real. 2nd try was great. Must have 8 TBs already as well.
    Has played great in defence too, a try save and haven't seen him miss a tackle.

    Hate commentators like these.
    Player is put on a report for a shoulder charge

    "awww c'mon ref don't ruin our fun!"

    It's an illegal hit. This isn't a recent rule change.
    I would never be happy with someone in the Warriors giving away dumb penalties by shoulder charging someone. I can't imagine team mates would be either.

    If a player gets a serious neck injury from it, commentators saying shit like that is not a good look.
