Agreed...  throw Penisini in there and it's a big bunch..


Rank the below in 1-5, 1 being best, 5 being bottom.. i'm at a loss..
Tago, Ilias, Paulo, Crichton & Penisini...

Currently I have after tonight:
1. Ilias
2. Paulo
3. Penisini
4. Crighton
5; Tago

It's pretty hard to rank them, because with four of them being outside backs, it's really going to come down to luck with who scores the most tries. But you'd think that with three of them last years grand finalists and one in a top six team outside Moses and Ipap, there should be plenty of tries. I have all five currently.

Gilbert starting edge. What happened to Nanai ?

I read somewhere today he was either sick or had a niggle or something?

I tend to agree.. maybe Nanai or Katoa get the cut for Tago's DPP..

"sick"

Yeah the dpp is very handy. I find most of my drafts having just the one dpp mid/edge like TPJ or Ipap and no other forward cover except for maybe a base price prop like Fifita or Esesese. Having that extra edge cover is very reassuring.

Not watching the Cowboys trial, is Luki the other Edge?

Yep, Gilbert left, Luki right.

Cotter looks like Connor Watson v 2 at  no 13

Still out there, looks like Dunn came on for Hess at about 20 minutes and McLean on for JTB after 25min.

2nd stint for Hess, looks like he came on for Cotter about 33 minutes.

Impossible to know their plans without Lolo, who could be playing anything from 40 to 80.

Haas just played the full first half because why wouldnt he

Dearden has played well and isnt a defensive liability like Drinkwater

Yeah it's a pain Lolo isn't playing. It does you an idea of what minutes he's capable of though. He might be the beneficiary of in game injuries. Or if Lolo breaks his hand again. I think he's only slightly undervalued but has a lot of upside in the right circumstances. His dpp is the most appealing thing though with mid and hooker being a pain in the Haas.

Yeah I just finished watching the game on delay and fuck off with that call - the advantage was making 70m in the set, you don’t get a do-over because there were no points at the end of it. Could’ve just given the lad a sin bin still but said advantage was played, no penalty.

If that’s the interpretation during the season it’s going to blow up in controversy sooner rather than later.

Dearden has a great willingness to hurt himself, and its pleasing to see the cowboys with a couple of ctr's who can tackle.

Belated Charity Shield thoughts

- Ilias can kick a ball after all. Crisis over.
- Less sure on Amone for fantasy. Probably a poor man’s Luai where they’ll be some games where he does ok but only scores 15.
- Not sure Paolo is going to be that good at fantasy either, but DPP is cool
- Dragons scored 4 very sexy tries and look like an improved version of the team that was actually looking pretty good in 2021 before CrAcKdOwN and injuries killed it. I don’t think they’ll be far off the 8. They are building. Hook is a good coach. So many wasted years on McGregor.
- But McGuire is not a dummy half, stop doing that Hook
- Everytime Sloan GLIDES across the grass like a majestic gazelle escaping a lions grasp on the savannah I think about those “experts” who thought letting Dufty go was a mistake. I’m going to say it probably isn’t.
