They were trying to offload him in the off season. That might have something to do with it. Barrett might just not rate him, maybe he isn't fully over his injury

Hmmm i wonder if its worth picking him hoping that he gets a spot in the next 2-3 weeks. Quite a big risk but i just don't really like any of the other options in that price range.

Looking at the side Manly have named there is only 1 prop on the bench with Vave as 18th man. I suppose its possible that Taupau moves into the prop rotation at some point.

Is copley as an npr a waste of 40k?

Yes play or shift

Saw something on a Manly forum saying if Stewart doesn't start round one (and he won't) then Green will play wing & Vave come on to the bench. Just to change things again.

manly fans seem to be of the belief that leary will drop off and vave will take the final bench spot - but thats grain of salt stuff until there is some confirmation.

If Littlejohn doesn't drop out of the team round 2, where would he go? Bench utility, and if so, what would his role be? He was great at Manly when he played and I'd like to go with him but can't see how he keeps playing.

So no AE worries

Sue or Whitehead. Loads of knowledgeable Tigers fans on here. I want Sue but just don't trust JT

Other option could be Sue instead of Grant

With Brooks & Halatau back next week and the Korean cabbage 18th man, there's no room for him barring injury as outside back or utility.

ARE YOU IN YOUR LEAGUE ARSENALBRONCOS?  I haven't caught up with the thread yet but saw you on so you have 2 hours before you are scratched mate.

Interested in everyones opinion on overall team make up.

Through days of second guessing, and swapping around ive found myself in the position of having 12 players in my squad Sub200k.

My starting squad is fairly solid, with the odd cheapie in there too. Im not sure if its a bad idea investing heavily in a few guns and reliable players, with the remaining players all seen as investments.

I don't want to leak too many points early for the sake of making money. Plus it commits me to a lot of trades and skinny weeks.

Whats everyone thought on the appropraite break down of guns, to solid, to mid range to nuffs?

If Whitehead bombs I will kick your ass Welshy.

That's a concern I'll keep my eye out on Wacko's Whispers to see if that's the case but Brayden Williame has had a pretty good pre-season and he's never won a game of first grade so hopefully he'll take the wing spot instead of Green.

Is there too much value in the forwards this year making it stupid for me to run with Bromwich and/or Merrin?

Getting a McGuire, a Graham, a Whitehead etc etc... Go cheaper to improve my weak backline?

When are the so called mods of this forum going to put their ladder predictions up ?

I have you douche, they are just really, really, really bad predictions.

CS9 + Whitehead

or

Hodgson + Mooper

Segeyaro & Wade Graham OR Luke/Rein & Merrin/Surgess?
