Just with a new coach and now he’s in his final year of his contract I’m pretty sure he has to be better.

On another note I’ve just been on Dragons forums and talk is when Norman is back round 2 that Clune will get the 14 jersey as Macca mightn’t be up to 80mins yet. If this is the case Macca is an avoid.

Also many many Dragons fans have Faamusili starting in the front row? I think he’s priced at 22 so could be some value there. Alvaro off the interchange.

Who do we think is the better choice, Faamusili at 293k or Alvaro at 296k?

If someone told me yep went to Broncos training he’s calling all the shots getting his hands on the ball demanding it being the dominant half and putting long kicks in I’d be all over him.

Come on mate, you know better than that.  That's not how it works.

In 2017 Cotric got 16 tries and averaged 5.4 TBs a game for a fantays average of 38.

He has matched that average a couple of times since. But can't reall ybeat it. if he can go 20% on his season best by moving to an inferior club, good on him.

I'm sure he'll bang out a 70 or 2. But he had 3 scores of 10 or less last season. I am not convinced  he is worth the $100k+ extra you are paying for Roberts/Bird, or $200k extra over Laurie if he starts

Depends if there is any utility on the bench. We don’t know til 4pm Tuesday.

If there are utilities on the bench I’m probs gonna avoid to get Cookie but will have to sacrifice either Teddy or Pap at WFB. I can’t have both Teddy and Cook.

Yeah when he hits so many fantasy points, he shuts up shop, its not like he has ever continued on to get 14 or 17 TBs even when not scoring tries.... oh wait, that isn't him at all! This wasn't a game where he scored 2 tries in the first half, and extrapolating that, it is a game where his only attacking stats were TBs, which are his bread and butter.

I'm pretty sure the Dragons forum would be the most useless forum there is given Hook is quite possibly insane

I don't think any fan would have predicted Kerr would be on the edge in the Charity Shield

Also why is Milford the only person off-contract where a contract year is used as justification to pick him. Why not Tohu, Hopoate, Peachey, Gosiewski, N Brown (and the list goes on and on and on)

Take the punt on him then mate.

I don't think he'll get spelled, but he is getting dropped from my team before Cleary or Tedesco are as  ithink they are better options

Even having Asiata on the bench is slightly risky. I think he covered hooker a few times at cowboys before the arrival of Robson/Cotter.

I’m also concerned about Cooky, benji will take some of his minutes if the game is not in doubt. There was also article in which he said he will play smarter and not just use his speed.

What if Turpin and Macca have utilities on their benches?.... would you then consider starting J. Brailey at hooker or go back to Cook?

Macca is really unlikely to, Brailey is expected to have Crossland on the bench, then Mann when Green is back soon.
