A couple of weeks ago I had identified 2 guys that I was afraid not to have in my team, Crichton and Fifita. Crichton may still end up in my team, pending TLT team composition. Would give me a 5th Origin player though, which isn't ideal.

Don't worry about origin players now, too much will happen between now and then pal

Storm say round four for Grant. NRL Physio typical recovery times for that injury 6-8 weeks. The Cheese is calling.

What's the stats for Smith playing hooker 65mins plus (being a last twat)

54.8 average in 5 games in 2020 (has a low game in 2018 bringing down average). I don't think he played HOK all game in R20 though, as he had 214 RM

Was tempted to put Cameron's stats to lure you in because you didn't specify which Smith

you little blighter

Is that 4 games enough cash to be made and worth the trade? I'm very interested

Brandon Smith said hed put on weight to play lock this year so maybe he wont be up to 80 mins at hooker

Five games at hooker last year, average 54. That does include a 34. No tries there, but I know he's gone huge 90+ in test matches before so you'd be hoping for something like that to happen.

Very possible could earn $150k+ if Grant out to Round 5-7, and still have a couple of weeks of slow burn after that.

I don't know what options Storm have. They used to switch Kenny Bromwich to there when CS9 had early showers, but hardly ideal for longer stints.

Probably just stick Hynes in there for 10 mins

Does Turpin have slightly more upside as longer term burn and score match?

Or fifth dimension Bellamy stuff like NAS at dummy half.

Maybe, but you can't have him as a scorer at MID.

What you guys think of Elliott taking Jackson edge spot. Looked really good at trials and could be 80mins

Thanks mate, Monday mind mush and didn't even consider that.

Prefer him at lock where he scored very well in limited games last season.

his D isn't good enough on an edge for me

I think the Jackson/Elliott swap is better for Jackson, both fantasy and reality wise

Lol I doubt Big Nelson can even tie his shoelaces let alone scoot through the line from dummy half and fire a long ball out to The Fox!

Its good enough for his mates wife apparently

League 8 codes have been sent out!

I'm determined to not start with Cleary but it's suicide with him in 95% of teams here isn't it?

Even if he averages 65 he's only $100,000k less than starting price
