It's a better forum than here. Don't exactly think y'all are all footy geniuses either.

I'm going to exclude players like Latrell and Turbo that can play another position at a high level but wouldn't make it in their primary position. This also means the likes of Murray will be primarily treated as a lock

I'm still of the opinion Bateman is the best second rower in the world, although I haven't watched him play at all this year

1. Teddy
2. Addo-Carr
3. Manu
4. Gagai
5. To'o
6. Munster
7. Cleary
8. JFH
9. Grant
10. Welch
11. Kikau
12. Bateman
13. Yeo
14. Murray
15. Tino
16. Taumalolo
17. Tapine

Most controversial ones are probably Welch, Bateman and the utility. Prior to injury Welch was the number 1 prop in the world IMO and I'm assuming he comes back the same. Utility I wanted to pick someone that has proven ability to play multiple positions at a high level. Murray has covered middle, edge, centre and has the ball skills to cover halves in an emergency

An offload might be handy there

Excellent post. Nothing to add to 1 and 2, 3 is a fucking superb idea that I've honestly never even thought of before.

4 is a tricky one. Inherently, some clubs will always be able to pay unders - whether that's Storm, Roosters, Rabbitohs, Broncos being able to offer off field TPA type stuff due to rich owners, also players will often take unders to play in a winning side, example Manu taking less to play centre at the Roosters rather than chase 7 figures at fullback for the Warriors. If the Tigers and Roosters offered you an identical contract, same position, same role, same salary (same super contribution), you'd take the Roosters offer unless you were a psychopath. Cellar dwellers will always need to pay overs for players like Ponga, JAC and Burton to use them to attract more talent to jump on board as a result. Also some clubs are geographically disadvantaged such as Cowboys (Townsend on 750k, allegedly, says it all) and Raiders, because who wants to live in Townsville or Canberra, honestly. The less we say about the Warriors here the better. Player managers and social media don't help with player values too, this kinda stems back to point 1 you made where there's a lack of talent in coaching staff and they are dumb enough to pay overs for the wrong player.

Salary cap is a tricky beast and not something that can be tackled easily because capitalism within the comp will always be there no matter how hard you try to equalise things.

The opposition being able to catch the ball within 10 meters on the kickoff works perfectly in Union.

Turning over possession is a huge thing in Rugby League, it shouldn't happen for virtually nothing, and also shouldn't require a minute of stoppage and tape being watched like it's the Kennedy assassination (the other Kennedy, not the spud).

While I'm at it... I like the bunker - it's there to make correct decisions easier - but if they can't come to a decision after a 30-second shot-clock just hand it back to ref's call and get on with it.

Fantasy-wise the thing that always irritates is either ankle taps or big hits that knock a player off their feet being recorded as missed tackles.

The bunker length of time is a gripe of mine also, but it seems its paternally the guys in it or who run the video.back.and forth, or choose which video angle to look at. It's the order and starting with the wrong video almost every time. It must be down to user ability, it feels like someone has been shown how to review a play five minutes ago, and they haven't watched league before, and are fumbling with an Atari style controller.

In what way do u mean though?

For QLD watch out for Robert Toia - signed with the Roosters.

For NSW watch Thomas Weaver - signed with the Titans.

Both quite good at rugby league.

All eyes on Blake Mozer tbh

Jack Howarth probably within a shout of role in 2023 for Storm with KBrom and Kaufusi going to Dolphins. Sims is coming but other spot potentially open

Pretty sure he’s the Australian Schoolboys captain
