It’ll give you some cash in the bank in order to facilitate Haas next week.

I like this idea but can’t see a cow to make it happen

I was on Marathon Knights forum earlier and forum consensus seems to be play Leo at edge over BroJo which surprised me. Obv fan wishes mean nothing to coach decisions

This sounds like something people who don’t understand footy would suggest. Don’t think Leo has any history of playing EDG or playing big minutes.

Leo was a CTR in union before being recruited for league. Expect he would make the adjustment, not going to get caught out for speed.

Poor old Leo Thompson has made +$130k and he’s widely considered a dud. Expectations must have been very high.

Made that point yesterday......I consider him a good, if somewhat unglamorous, trade in and he looks in no danger of losing that cash in a hurry. I also don't expect to see him on an edge anytime soon, but I could be wrong (again).

Glad someone pulled up that comment about half the Raiders pack being shithouse.....just because a player is not fantasy relevant it doesn't make them bad IRL (Lockyer, Foran, Maloney, Finucane, Marshall.....). I have a sneaking suspicion the Raiders might be better served having a smaller pool of topline players and a more consistent team list week to week (again it's highly likely I'm wrong)

Hate to see my stats

Start the season at price of a fallen gun with hype around return to greatness. Spend the first half of the year bleeding cash and pissing off owners who sell on mass. Great performance through the bye rounds and a strong run home to start the cycle all over again the next year

You'll be a dead-set gun next year. Every round is a bye round

Maybe his background of playing Centre in schoolboy rugby and Centre for Canberra in Jersey Flegg means he can play 80 and on an edge

Who could you play in the 17 otherwise?

Taaffe probably. Really it’s just a choice of Grant and Lee or Taaffe and Lolo

I agree with all of this so it's more than highly likely that you're wrong.

TU:Grant and Lee
TD:Lolo and Taaffe

It's bad enough owning Ilias. I don't want Ilias plus goal kicks as well

Anyone think TMM at FB means more work for Cobbo & Oates ?

Probably. Can't see the experiment lasting long. Cobbo is their long term fullback, might as well start playing him there, bring Periera to the wing.

Aye the lad who played schoolboy centre in rugby and has spent most of the last 3 years retraining to play as a middle forward in league (I’d assume for good reason) and has never played anywhere close to 80 mins in a senior game (NRL or NSW) and played entirely as a middle in senior footy is just gonna step into that role right now. Because a bunch of Knights forum people said they don’t rate Jones.

I expect some type of rotation going on at the back. Burton is surely going to test him out.

Whose the best option out of Cobbo, Ilias, Taafe, Paix, TMM, Lee or Rushton. Add any others if you think I’ve missed one. Need one for emergencies as a cash cow whilst also being a decent 18th man

Would love to but don’t know how to. If I go Nanai I would have to trade out one of Burton or Mann and get in Rushton

Crazy thought, what about Wilton? Great pod but hitting his peak soon right? I’ll choose him over Haas unless you recently brought him in.
