Point is you can’t really tell from trial mate

Fair enough. Agree it is fantasy point irrelevant but good to see stats I.e tackles, meters made etc. I'm just a sucker for stats I guess.

Any advice on this team :
McCullough
Crichton, Watson, Tino F
D.Fifita, Riki
(C)leary, Lam
Bird, Roberts
Tedesco, Papy, Laurie
Brailey, Liddle,LAM, Moylan
Niu, Stimson, Fusitua, Walker

Good for minutes and role potential not so much long term points bud

Cheers. Most teams will have him so for me set and forget on then bench until an upgrade can be done I think. Time will tell.

Looks good. Moylan in the 17 would worry me though.

I was at a birthday party last night and missed everything regarding the Trials.
I really don't feel like catching up on 20+ pages of waffle.
Can someone give me the main fantasy relevant info?
The Bludger will be in your debt (and the Bludger always pays his debts).

Egan did his elbow, Grant did his MCL & ?PCL with a 3 - 4 week recovery as per NRLPhysio. Egan potentially being worse but wont know nything until the scans come back.

Tino impressed for the Titans and errybody be frothin. Fogarty had the Goal Kicking at the Titans as well.

Host impressed durimg the Dragons v Rabbitohs.

Flegler on report and likely miss some time but Lodge looked slimed down and alright out there and Riki well for the Broncos. Niu and Isaako linked up nicely for the first Broncos try with Niu looking quick. While Isaako helped in tbe second try as well looking real solid at FB.

Val and Drinkwater swapped at FB and both played alright so anyones guess who is there long term. Masters looked good and will be pushing for a starting spot.

Cook went off at 60ish minutes for Marshall. Walker scores tries at will. Latrell looked switched on but everyone is afraid of him from last year and his curved shape.

Dean Leremia has his nose in front for the vacant wing spot at the moment but it is between 4 guys at the Storm. Papenhyuzen is goal kicking so should boost about 6 points a game.

I would add Fogarty GK for titans, Clifford for cows, holmes when he went off, TKO for roosters, teddy when he went off

I didn't even see CHT yesterday. Non existent.

cheers @RandomSil my shout if or when I get to meet the lads on here

I was never really interested in LAM and after yesterday that interest has gone down even further. AFB on the otherhand.....

Not sure extrapolating trial minutes/points into a wider role is going to be super accurate.

Likely true for less than expected minutes, but with large squads, if they are putting big minutes into a guy to get his game fitness up, that is a good sign.

Just watching the Panthers game, when Kikau went off, Martin came on and Capewell moved to the left edge.

I wouldn't take anything out of fantasy points or minutes played from a trial. Most important thing to look for is the players you like having the role you expected

Not much point even looking at stats for a trial imo.

Don't think I've ever be this disorganised before a season, have barely looked at my team. Will panic trade after TLT.

I think stats can be useful, as long as they play the position they'll have during the season.

It's minutes played that is not worth looking at.

Just had another look at Latrell's pass for Walker's first try and somebody please talk me out of this madness.

Imagine being Brandon Smith if that happened
