I am so keen for the 7 million TU/TD posts.

TU: You're keen
TD: You're keen

Thanks

Edit nothing to see here

if Dylan Walker does play fullback, anyone interested?

He's cheap, but I am not sure he'd excel there. As the rumour was he'd be named in centres but play fullback, I am not sure how you would know anyway where he will play.

I've considered him as his price is low enough, but a risk for sure. Even DPP cover if other options are shit may be something.

Killed it in the trial, one of their best, basically won them the game. Highly rated on Bulldogs forum as well.

But he wouldn't even be considered if JMK didn't get injured.

No.
I had him in my early draft but would only be interested if he played centre.
He’s not a halfbacks arsehole and he’s too lazy to get involved at fullback.
On top of all that, Manly suck.

Milf, Latrell, Andrew Fifita, Dylan walker...some dude called Brad Deitz that MTB made up to reel in Mattnz.

TLT fever in full effect.

I fully expect to find McCullough in my team before 3.00pm


Edit : Two of the above have been in serious contention for a spot in my team for some weeks now (....not Brad Deitz)

Averillo not likely to play Rd 1 apparently. I've been looking for excuse to get another CTR instead. Are people going to run with him for when he comes back?

On Fifita.

Rumour (can't remember if Wacko or something else) was Rudolf lock.

Would that make Woods+Tolman starting props?
Fifita + Hamlin-Uele on bench

Its a lot of decent players to fit in. I think Fifita would be better served as impact off the bench. maybe they won't start both Woods and Tolman as its a pretty uninspiring front row in terms of actual impact

I think Dylan Walker is a bust at centre. It was 2015 the last time he scored well enough there to be a good fantasy pickup.

Yeah. Even if fit, I don't see him getting the minutes needed to become relevant again.

Benji has been training through the middle with cook still at hooker. Will play a similar role to what Morgan did for QLD early on

I don't think Cook is worth his price tag if Benji is going to be coming on playing dummy half. That's assuming Benji will take minutes from him, I'm not sure anyone really knows where Benji will be playing. I'm personally very tempted to run Koro over Tedesco.

Word off someone at Souths training yesterday is Benji was playing a loose forward role and Cook still at dummy half, Cook will play 80.

I remember seeing Dietz back when he was a sharks junior, came through at a similar time as Jayden Brailey so recognise the name
Played for Australian school boys so there was big wraps on him but couldn’t break into the NRL as I think the sharks signed Ennis, (off loaded lichaa) and opted to keep Jayden Bradley.
Has played nsw cup for the bears since.

Damian cook took a while to break first grade, walker and Fogarty too but would take serious luck to make it now. Would need a contract, huge debut (if he even plays) and named rd2 for me to even consider bringing in but by then every man and his dog would pickup too

Still no need to shit on Mattnz, the dogs haven’t exactly had a good run with hookers so who anything could happen haha

Yep looks like he’s out. Not sure I can pick him now!

If JBrailey, Watson and Liddle are the cows you're feeling most confident about, would Lam be the next in line?

Happy TLT everyone by the way, am sure there will be some surprises and a few traps later today

More a reflection of my ignorance than any slight on Matt

I think I heard on 360 that Benji will be used as a roaming playmaker, with Cook still on the field at the same time.

And a wild TLT page 51 party coming up too
