He's a must have, especially in his position

That could have been one of my teams. Every player in your 21 has been in my team at some stage, except for Jackson, but I understand the rationale for him. I approve.

Too be honest mate, I’ve followed ya tracker closely this preseason so some of the names have stuck with me.

Will definitely make a few changes to this but I’m pretty set on the back line, and yeah Jackson is a punt and I’m a fan so may as well.

Yes must have, doubt anyone here that is serious won't have him.
Watson is another must have that we all agree on. Liddle is pretty much the same.
Very few teams won't have Laurie in them.

You grow up there, Matt? I'm also from the shore (originally) but in the bays.

You go to Momo's much? Fucking used to live at that place!

Few weeks ago you had Simpkins over Liddle? And had Liddle in same bracket as Brailey

The where I'm from thread:

Where are you from?

I'm 44. Remember when was little kid Devonport was a bit rough navy town. There was Red Lion bar next to Espy and was basically no go navy bar fights bar that my Dad would rarely go in past daylight

I had both Simpkin and Liddle in my team, before Mbye at 14 looked likely.
That 21 named today pretty much locks Mbye into the 14 jersey next week.

I grew up in the Bays, small world...

Some NSW Cup selections of note

3. Dominic Young

13. Joe Stimson

9. Cade Cust

8 Tuki Simpkins

9. Jake Simpkin

Am worried I’m going to pick the wrong centre’s each week:
Roberts v C.Scott
Bird v Ramien
Niu v Opacic
Averillo against a depleted Knights backline

Tough calls who to pick GW1. Think I’m leaning towards Averillo and Bird

I have done my team without this great forums input, now have come on here to compare.

I have some POD's I'm interested to see peoples thoughts of. I have;

Milford - A proven fantasy weapon at a great price. Seemed to drown last year, coach change might turn him?
Harris Tavita - Should be his break out season, all going well..
Fonua-Blake - Clear leader of the Warriors pack, might not make much $$ but think he'll be a keeper
Sironen - I think we'll see good minutes from him.
Tupouniua - Love this guy, if he's getting solid minutes he'll be a weapon.
Ofa - Moving to the Tigers should freshen him up. Expecting 40+ as the starting prop, not changing positions every second game..

I'm also thinking possibly Marsters (see Milford) and Kerr is interesting. Kerr is a PPM guy, with no real second rowers on the bench?

Heaps of things to think about, but I have quite a different team to most of you ATM.

Yep, I'm not too far behind you in age. Never wanted to hang around Devo too late if I was out drinking there.
In saying that, the same could be said for a lot of Auckland. Too many drunk dickheads just looking for fights.
