    I'd read the same about Levi. Must have just been the previous administration, and Brown must have other ideas. Bhana had been training at higher so will cover Randell, but for how long? (Both in minutes per game, and how many games before Levi gets back in the team?)

    Jacob Saifiti was the better credentialed one as a junior. It's only recently (ie this year) that Daniel has been mentioned more. Daniel also a  prop and Jacob a back rower which explains why he starts there.

    Similar thing happenned with the Fifitas where David had all the wraps then Andrew just come on and there was daylight between them. Just depends which can make the best adaption to NRL standard i guess. Another notable omission is i didnt notice originally is stockwell, I think he was mentioned by a few on here. So guys that are still in contention for these rookies spots are Levi, TSims(suspended), Stockwell, Mickey Paea, Mamo and Sione Matautai whos only out for a week. On a positive note if this team is Legit brown is sticking to his guns and picking purely on form which is great but as Milch stated for how long will it last if they drop a few especially as they right in the market for the spoon? Personally, to much uncertainty with job security and i think ill let these guys go through to the keeper for now

    There was a leaked knights team and he wasnt in it. The source is suppose to be reliable and close to the club but wait 3 days and it will be 100 percent confirmed

    Sam Mataora is an option if he starts in that prop rotation. Here are his scores and mins last season:

    SAM MATAORA
    PTS 25 34 37 26 32 19 19 17 23
    MINS 28 43 41 20 28 20 18 17 17
    AVE MINS 25.8
    AVE PTS 25.8

    Exactly 1.00 ppm. If he gets 40 mins, he will be a steal. Obviously Stockwell, Tariq Sims, Micky Paea still in reserve is an issue. Also, maybe Mataora plays 20 mins and Korbin Sims comes in to play the remaining 60. You just never know with this new interchange reduction.

    The last trial Stockwell was "lacklustre & anonymous" according to Knights forum. So it's not surprising. He's paid the price for a poor performance. Even Rochow & K. Sims were average. The players that got good reviews were the Saifiti bros, Fitzbibbon, Pauli Pauli & Feeney.

    Found an old spreadsheet on my computer with NYC stats. Obviously they won't directly transfer across but if Bhana manages to pick up 40-45 minutes between Hooker and Lock he could average somewhere in the 30's and make cash

    To me Jacob Safiti will be the better pick than D Safiti. Jacob has the credentials and has played a lot of NSW Cup while Daniel hasn't. Daniel will be in the prop rotation with Snowden, KSims and Mataora and any one of Paea/Stockwell can force themselves in. Jacob Safiti has five weeks to prove his worth and make some cash. Is a much better option than Benry, MCK, VLeuluai and Pauli Pauli at this stage.

    The other one is David Bhana as back up hooker and the fact Jeremy Smith will need relieving at lock. Think he is worth a punt. Will wait and see on Daniel Safiti as I don't think he gets more than 25-30 mins.

    Bad news - Pearce back in Sydney
    Good news - We might find out how many games he will miss before the season starts
    Bad news - Hastings wont score as much with Pearce back in the side

    Looks like my side is in for a major reshuffle come TLT. Far queue Pearce, join the Far queue.

    Valid point Warrior especially with the KSims experiment in the second row a failure in that trial from all reports. Bhana has been my no name guy in all my comps that has just sat there for no particular reason. Ive switched a few rookies in and out but he has always remained for some unknown reason. Maybe the fantasy gods are trying to tell me something?

    So was that the actual leaked knights team or was it just some fans preference?
