Hey mate... just a heads up if you wanna loop you can swap Lam and Cleary, chuck Stefano at 18 and put go 19. Croker 20. Lam

Check out Crokers game Friday arvo... if he goes 40+ leave him at 19 and he will go in for Cleary, if he goes below 35 then you can swap Lam with Stefano quickly before the Roosters game and hope he beats 35???

My reasoning for Fifita over Brailey is more chance for Knights to dominate the Tigers and less chance of Brailer racking up 50 tackles... Could go over for a try again but I would rather back Fifita on a dry track in TSV to break a tonne of tackles and score a couple tries.

Yeah, very good point re the tackle count.

Would you have teddy over all of them?

Pretty much long story short (and what my dishevelled brain can remember) yes Milford is on the big bucks, yes Milford “on his day” is an incredible player; however, over the past 2-3 years the Broncos have really tried to make Milford their main man. Main Man in the sense of Milford controls the game, Milford receives first ball 90% of the time and Denan used a really good analogy – If you think of the set play as a spear, Broncos keep trying to make Milford the handle, so to speak, but Milford is the tip of the spear. Broncos need him to be ending those plays or being 2nd or 3rd off the ruck, out wide, keeping the opposition second rower and half guessing will he run, will he kick, will he pass out wide, will he pass inside. Think back to 2015 (arguably Milford’s best year) when they made the GF, Broncos had McCullough at 9, Hunt at 7, Boyd at 1… all players who can control the team, aren’t needed to make lots of runs and all really complementing Milford’s game allowing him to be that tip of the spear player. Milford needs to be the glove and not the hand in the glove – and this is where they need Turpin, Croft, Dearden to step up, start taking control of the game and just allow Milford to swing around, play all over the park.

TL;DR – Denan Kemp/Bloke In A Bar made some good points about Milford and how the Broncos have changed his game to be the spear handle rather than the spear tip.

Trained as second row through out preseason right up until the first trial. One of the reasons I grabbed him as my starting centre

Nice to have you on board!

So at the moment you are set up to get Simonsson's score above Uto's. Niu will fill for Pappy, Schuster will fill for Cleary.

Meaning your 18, 19 (Sims, Leniu) are being played.

Unless you loop, and switch Averillo in for Schuster once Cleary/Paps play etc.

I wouldn't be trading, and would just adjust my bench to have the forwards play.

Oh, and I love Cook in reserves!

Bit of a concern for Alvaro and Fui if that happens, Kerr back to middle you would think.

I was thinking to C Brailey so Cook has to go to the bench

I'm a bit lost on bench and emergencies and who I should play

White Lightning wrote:Thoughts on these trades:
Capewell out - Schuster in
Leniu out - Egan in (feels wrong selling a cash cow in Leniu who will still make money but I have enough middles & Egan strengthens my depth)

J. Brailey
Tino, Watson, Alvaro
Angus (c), D. Fifita
Lam, Schuster
Roberts, Averillo
Tedesco, Laurie, Niu

Turpin, Liddle, Egan, Riki
Utoi, Simonsson, Cleary, Pappy

Thanks
