Staggs has a total of three try assists at centre in the last three seasons, fact fans.

Despite his DPP I can not see why you would dump a 2RF who plays 2RF for one who plays centre (unless it was a cash shortage). I have so many centres and Edges.

Something weird happened with Nanai. Was named to play, then dropped as he was sick, then made an appearance at the end of the game.

That wasn't Nanai, it was Lemuelu. The commentators said it was Nanai because they have no fucking idea.

He is the best attacking center for sure.

Origin suggests Turbo is

Anyway, hard to be the best when you hardly ever play

Yeah the best centres are Mitchell and Turbo, but for those at CTR most weeks it’s Manu IMO.

Hard to call Manu the best attacking center in the game, when he averages 0.3 tries in one of the best attacking teams.
Staggs at 0.7 tries per game in a crap side is the one that opposing centers hate having to defend.

Manu is the best *centre* in the game, which is not the same as the highest try-scoring centre.

Staggs is a terrific ball-runner. Your original argument, which seems to have shifted, was that Pereira would get extra attacking opportunities from being outside Staggs, because he's so good. But he's not a winger's centre. All those tries he gets are opportunities the wingers miss out on. His outside man has scored from Staggs assists a grand total of 3 times in his 36 games in the position.

I thought JTB looked very good should start and get 40ish mins has a good PPM could be worth a look.

That's fair. I am expecting the opportunities are more likely to arise because you can't mark Staggs 1 on 1. A ball to the winger should be in space often.

Possibly. I don't have the stats on Staggs' winger's total tries, but it's the Broncos so it's not *that* high.

Lolo & Maclean to come back in the starting side

If you mean Ramsey, he didn't play 80 and scored 35. If he had played 80 in his original position he would have had a 2nd try.

Lemmy is talking about round 10 last year

So if we aren't going for a premium hooker & have Randall who do we get for a back-up:
Paix - didn't watch the trial but from the above comments he wasn't that assertive & the stated risk with Kevvy being a lot of chopping & changing
K. Hetherington - he's a trap because once Flegler serves his suspension he'll be back to the bench
Cotter - with Lolo not playing in the trial it's uncertain re his affect on Cotter but regardless Cotter doesn't usually play big mins & he seems busy in defense with not much attacking upside

Or do we just have Grant or B. Smith in our teams from round 1 & take the points hit
On the premium hookers Cooks comments re taking more responsibility didn't equate to him taking more runs from dummy half which is what I wanted to see. This leaves Mahoney who scored a try in the thrashing of the Storm so the team/Mahoney look in great form but with Rein there & Mahoney leaving in 2023 will he play 80 mins every week.

Haha, I noticed that.

If haumole is out for a few weeks, I would take lawton

Don’t think he will make enough cash.

Kobe is the one I’m torn on whether to pick him or not.

I may have to give up D. Fifita to get Grant at hooker as hooker is mud.

Sloan looked good in the trial, could be a bit of a smokey. Akwardly priced though

Thoughts on no hooker cover with a view to making Grant my first upgrade after a few weeks. He doesn't play rd1 and that gives a couple of weeks to confirm Grant's role. I like it, but it seems too risky and I don't have the

I could just plonk Clark there and make him my upgrade, but I'd rather trade my injured/suspended guy than pick someone I know will be a dud and need trading.

Or could just gun up with Cook, but that's hard when you want Cleary, Pappy and want to gun up at middle too, because middle sucks.

Maybe I should get TPJ. Should gun it until he gets suspended at which point he becomes Grant/Cook. Hmm.

You could pick Kobe and hope he makes 90-100k.
