Massive downyear last season after impressive rookie campaign, new converted CTR as 2RF partner if trial pack to be taken forward into season.

If he gets the big minutes back he's underpriced by 5-8?

He’s been in my team and hasn’t left, considering aitken at ctr too so will enjoy watching the warriors to start the year

Dual? Check again.

Sorry looking at sportsdeck

He is MID only this season and in a real pack that doesn't need him to play close to 80 minutes each week.

Really?

WadeG made of glass for a start, who is coming off the bench for the sharkies?

Rudolf, Finucane, Tolman all workhorse middles. Hamlin-Uele, AFifita, Hunt are there as well. Even in McInnis gets huge minutes his workload unlikely to be the same as in that Dragons pack where he was the only one who dug in.

Just means 3rd man in and more energy for some runs. Can't imagine the amount of workers there is going to stop CMC from doing his usual workload

PLus all those guys named just prop replacements for Rudy, Finucane. Also thought Tolman left?

Starting MIDs:
Finucane (61 minute average last season when starting)
Rudolf (56 minutes)
McInnes (60-80??)

Edges, both 80 minutes:
Nikora (80)
Grahame (80)

Bench:
Talakai (36 off the bench) or Wilton (56)
Tolman (51)
BHU (30)
Trindall or other back

If McInnes plays 60, it would leave just 63 minutes for the other 3 who between them played an average of 117-137 minutes off the bench last season.

Any news on Tesi Nui injury? Presume this is why Cobbo is being touted as fullback starter.

Will back Mcinnes into 65-80. Paying him a wedge and he's a top quality operator

I daresay the new coach doesnt care what the old coach did with forward minutes.

Can see both scenarios quite easily.. mcinnes avg 65 or mcinnes regularly playing 80. Coach from school of robinson is probably capable of adapting on the fly anyway.

Question for the brains-trust.
You can afford 1 gun middle - Haas / I. Pap / McInnes / Angus
Who do you go with?

If Roosters lock minutes are anything to go by, he would only occasionally play 80 minutes, in times of need due to injury.

Radley is a big minute lock, but has only played 80 minutes 5 times in his career. Coming back from injury last season he averaged 65 minutes, with just two 80 minute games.

Says grade 2 hammy, 4-6 weeks which roughly matches up with NRL Casualty Ward listing return round 3

CMC for me purely based on the fact he's hit a +70 average previously so has the most spec to improve on current priced average but as per discussion above potenially less gametime and work might limit him in new side

I'd go with Angus for combination of DPP, price, job security and ceiling but there may be some Roosters specs involved there.

However, my choice (if I run Cleary) more likely to be between Angus, Cook and Fifita and leaning towards Cook.

Cookie? Just as your nailed on points guy or hoping for upturn in average?

Hoping nobody really talks about him because he's in my team. Going to be on SJs edge too.

Agree with you there, Welshy.
Cookie is priced at his average and may end up playing more of a link role to support Ilias (or whoever is the second half).
