They aren't even right about it being more talented. Staines might be the worst player in the NRL

Surely this was just a run out and they will start the year with Douehi at 6, Laurie at 1 and Staines in NSW cup

White Lightning wrote:yeah staines is a mug there's no way he's playing fb over laurie. also i see schuster is quite popular but if he's playing in the halves where dce dominates possession he won't score large. imo schuster is an overrated chubby unfit pretender.

Next minute...

Staines the break-out FB of the 2023 season

Yep, would be hilarious if he was actually the next Papy at fullback. Has just been wasted on the wing.

Panthers rated him as, at best, their 4th best FB and they are fairly good judges of talent

Papy was also a 4th rated fullback at the Storm at one stage.

Miller requesting release from Sharks wants to go to Newcastle. Mapapalangi in the frame for a centre spot too in Newcastle.

TC Robati stood down after being charged with alleged sexual assault, faces court in Jan

So it's

Edwards
Turuva
Scritta
Staines (played first grade for 2 seasons)


versus


Slater
Hughes
Drinkwater (before the Storm discovered he couldn't tackle)
Papy (yet to play a game of first grade)



Hehe. Matt strikes again

Munster was also in the mix ahead of him at fullback when Slater finished.

why do these guys ruin a promising career by not being able to control their urges whether it be violence or sexual is disappointing however the next cab off the rank would be happy that amone, robati are dumb or as my late father said "as thick as a 4 by 2" (he was a builder by trade)

i'd say gagai, best, tuala are way ahead of mapapalangi for the ctr spot & miller i don't know why he's want to go to the knights because they have plenty of depth in the backs & imo is way down the pesking order:
hlf - hastings, clune, gamble, crossland - will they move ponga to hlf to accomodate miller when those half options are good
wfb - ponga, d. young, marzhew, h. hunt/tuala - maybe miller could play wing but he is behind those options imo & he is short so a problem defending & attacking high kicks

E. Katoa going to the storm bellamy will unlock his potential..gotta be starting 448k & the storm 1st bye is rd. 9. However storm edges don't post gun scores because the storm go through the middle & the edges aren't needed so much. Also imo E. Katoa gets injured easily. The key is his fitness & bellamy will push him & he'll be super fit so this should reduce his silly errors & make him more resilient physically. Remember josh King this year it could E. Katoa.
I just noticed Loiero is edg 389k now if he starts there's a great pick he must be a good ball runner cause he likes a tb.

Lots of candidates for the edge spots at Storm, not sure anyone will have a lock on them, and could easily lose their spot. Other candidates are:
NAS (finished last season on the edge)
Howarth (reportedly on a 5 year $500k per year contract)
Eisenhuth
Sims
Chan comes from superleague, played for Catalan

Apparently Martin Taupau to the Eels & Nathan Brown to the Tigers

Not really fantasy relevant but interesting nonetheless

Trapau might strike again if he gets some minutes in his first few games.

Barry Toohey is generally very reliable and he’s suggested on twitter that the Knights are keen on Miller and if they get him he will play Fullback. He’s also said the club has big wraps on this young Malpapalangi bloke.
I do not really rate Tuala I think they’ll see him as more of a depth option now.

I think the Knights are keen on the idea of moving Ponga to 6 mate from what I’ve been reading and hearing.

Just on Miller yes he’s about the exact same size Blake Ta’affe is. On Blake Ta’affe too he is said to have been one of the better ones in pre season training for us. JD is keen to have him be in the 14 jersey and he will still be the back up for Trell around origin time. But yes obviously Blake isn’t fantasy relevant.

Mother of Haas has been in a car accident Wich has killed 3 people. She is currently in a stable condition

Sounds like she will be looking at serious jailtime. What a fuck up

People saw her driving before hand so sounds like it's her fault even if it's reckless driving. Wouldn't trust Haas going into the season with that hanging over his head.

Hhmmmmm I’m weighing up Haas or Tapine

I'm not starting with Tapine...i have observed over the years he takes a while before he starts going big & he kicks in as a pick from around rounds 7 on
