who is your captain and second hooker in option 1?

Captain is Fifita and second hooker Hodgson in option 1

This is my current pick also, but I just love JDB. He is a pretty reliable scorer (from memory).

He has such a good work ethic and mins doesn't appear to affect his score, as if he gets less time he just seems to work harder while he is on. I want to fit him in... I just don't know where I can.

I don't see SST getting any more minutes than last year. If he gets 50-60 then I'll pick him, but I can see him and Liu sharing the position in the same way as last year.

I have to agree with this. Although we as fantasy coaches would love Tauk to get 60 mins where he'd move into the elite fantasy category, I just can't see it happening. His value to the Roosters is in a 40-50 min explosion of energy.

Every time SST has started a game in the 2RF or at lock he has averaged 55 minutes (9 games)

So what are you going to do when he doesnt start come round 1?

Reports on Fox that Watmough may be forced to retire immediately.
Not that anybody has him, but could mean more minutes in the pack.

SST isn't in my current team, I don't just back players in my squad, I'm trying to help other posters with their queries

Kenny Edwards???

Fucking hell! Carlos Tuimavave has just thrown an absolutely ridiculous pass 30 yards infield on his own 22, time had already expired and Denny Solomona interceped and walked under the sticks! Madness....edit. Ah just realised Gale had already kicked a field goal so Hull had to keep the ball alive still fun to watch haha

if watbro is gone then i hate to say it but moeroa becomes very tempting.

After starting with him last year I'm too paranoid

He is a part of my wife's team.  IF his shoulder was fixed with the surgery I think this is his year. I have been trying to fit him into my main team all week. He is great value at that price considering how injury affected he was last year.

Note: I just put up the wife's team in Rate my Team thread if anyone wants to see it and comment. Cheers.

yeah i would probably need some convincing from a reliable source to put him in my side. (ie something to suggest he'd get 60 mins at lock)

i just read that beau scott spent a fair bit of time in the middle in the last trial. edwards was on the right edge at this time. probably stay away.

From memory Edwards had some pretty decent scores in 2014 playing lock I think

I currently have Moeroa. Reckon hes in for a big year, loves a tackle and if that shoulder is right he could push to a 45+ average.

Or it could be this guy.

tough with Rochow, Whitehead, Turner around the same price and Moeroa not guaranteed the start, I thought the shoulder injury he has was nerve related so surgery wasn't a guaranteed success and would still have trouble with it?
