Might be an elaborate troll to get Rabbits to pick an imaginary player

If Croker starts and gets 50 minutes at hooker could still be good value. Could average 38 in that time.

Falcons CEO really pumping up Smoothy's tyres in the sunny coast daily

"I suppose being in the team photo is a good sign," Sunshine Coast Falcons CEO Chris Flannery laughed.

"That injury to Harry has probably opened the door for him now and I'm sure Tyson doesn't need much of a sniff.

"We will see what happens."

Would love a bit of feedback on this draft, been lurking a bit and feels like I don't have a lot of POD players.

Only the second least likely name around this week after Will Penisini.

CHN not starting the season, has been a bad boy. Young will get the first shot on that edge.
Kikau unlikely to get more minutes than last season, if anything likely less. Unlikely to score significantly better. Higher value elsewhere.

I bet the poor kid grew up as Willie Penis

I'm sure he could, er, handle himself.

Lot of people going Liddle when they come out and said he won't be playing the full 80 with the speed of the game. Both Liddle and Croker priced around 23. If have a bench hooker or someone taking 30 minutes off them i still see them a good 15 points under priced. As long as both named at 9 i'm tempted by both the same. Think Croker could surprise playing hooker. He's spent all off season preparing for it.

i'm not sure what to expect from either. I wouldnt be surprised if Croker is the better buy. Lot of question marks around both, but moreso Liddle in my opinion. Not really excited about picking either of them.

What are you saying about my hands?

Yeah it's a risk. If nothing better comes up tlt i'll take the plunge.

No broken thumb, but I haven't seen a predicted return date. Anyone else seen a date or round pop up?

I just hope Liddle doesn't break down

Croker might be a better fantasy buy, but Liddle is a much better football player. Way less likely to be dropped

I read on Manly forum that both Croker and Cust ok so could be good for round 1

Liddle already shown he can score when given the opportunity, can’t see too much risk there. Croker we know is average but starting hooker priced at 23 is no issues from me

I won't have both and it will be Liddle who makes my 21.

There is a better chance of Tigers having both Liddle and a utility (be it Simpkin or Mbye) on the field at the same time, than Manly. Trbo is always going to play 80 so the hooker role will be split. Reckon Croker/Cust is a 50/30 to start season. Liddle probably gets 60 mins and then it will just be form that determines both roles after that.

edit: maybe i will have both, i dont fucking know! this is a post TLT problem

Well there is the unknown with hooker being new to Croker. Guess it depends if you think he go ok or not at hooker and prepared to risk it if think he could surprise.
