Any inside Intel? Decided to keep him after team lists even though he wasn't named but literally dumped in 5 minutes ago.

There were a couple of articles that pointed to him starting in a backline spot that opened up if Hoppa went to FB

"Star recruit Will Hopoate is likely to wear the No.1 in Morris' absence but it will open up a backline vacancy for Abbey."

"Will Hopoate will likely play fullback in Friday night's season-opener against Manly at Brookvale Oval, while recruit Brad Abbey is also likely to come into the 17."

I was hoping to hang on to him also

Who kicks the goals for titans now?

Taylor id say

Just deciding on whether to dump Packer to an npr like bhana and have Taylor as 4th reserve, lets me upgrade carty or LAM to Taupau/Woods

Goal kicking will make very little difference to his scores

Tyrone Roberts will be goalkicking for the Titans

This article says Tyrone Roberts, no idea how accurate

http://www.goldcoastbulletin.com.au/sport/nrl/tyrone-roberts-likely-to-be-the-gold-coast-titans-goalkicker-against-knights/news-story/1d12c45191329bc0c38019c6628a440c?nk=f508c9558da9aa3711b4f35f2ab513b1-1456924994
"It is no secret that accurate goalkicking is critical considering the number of NRL matches settled by less than six points in recent years and Gold Coast coach Neil Henry reckons Roberts is the man for the job this year.

“(It will be) Tyrone or Ash but I think Tyrone is the guy that has certainly been kicking a bit more in first grade,” he said."

Have the exact same dilemna. Except want to turn Carty to Cooper. Hard to know the balance of guns needed.

I am just wondering if he will score about the same as Packer? If so, then I can dump Packer to an npr as he is useless and upgrade one of Carty/Lam to Woods/Taupau

Peer pressure is a friend you don't need!

Why do I feel like I can't start the season without Whitehead now haha

Well the fact if you dont start with Whitehead I will ban you..

I mean yeah.

Running Cooper, Surgess, and Merrin. But would really like Woods/Taupau as well if all it costs me is Packer and a mid ranger I call that a bargain...I think I just talked myself into it

Come on guys help a brother out.

Bromwich and Packer or McGuire and Turner??

The cheaper players would be reserves

I don't like Packer or Turner as options..

I would rate Bromwich more than McGuire.

Fuck Aubs! Bobble head will probably get done for pre game cruiser's so Mitchell will play FB with Aubs to CTR.

I know your not entirely serious, but in that instance would not Mitchell go to centre and Burgess on the wing?

Not enough value in the forwards is rubbishing my team

I know people have asked this a lot, but it's after midnight and I am 2 scotchs down and doubt I would find the answer.

Which CC would you rate the most likely to make average 25 and make 80k
Bhana
Scott
Auva'a
Davis
Abby
Kennar
Littlejohn
