Titans forum also suggesting Clark not likely to play LOCK

What are they saying? Because all indication elsewhere is Clark will be 13 especially with how he performed end of season before injury.

Clarke will be 13, it worked too well back end of last year not to. Whether he plays big mins or not is another question. It’s looking like Boyd will get the 7 with Foran at 6 and Brimson at 1.

Yeah and I remember Holbrook saying that the plan was always to have Clark at 13 but he was forced to move him back to hooker when Booth went down.

Or I guess he could fly to the States and see the hammy experts that Latrell and Turbo did amirite

Both your centres and one of your backs won’t play round 1.

There's a bunch of weird stuff here it'd be good to understand. Because you always have good interesting arguments for your stranger selections.

RFM seems to be priced maybe 100k under for his starting 2rf work. That's a fair bit, but will be a slow earn that absorbs a fair chunk of cash. Can't see the attraction.

Harris is old and will move to the middle given squad balance. Hard to see value there.

Tino is priced like a gun and has like 4 decent scores ever. And plays Origin. Expensive risk with very questionable upside.

But thanks for sharing!

The other two backs will also be out as soon as the first teamers return from injury/suspension, and all of 16 to 21 are 50/50 or less to be named in the roles you want.

Obviously whoever makes a team at this stage knows it'll change a lot, but there are "just a few placeholders" and then there's this.

Anyway, my top tip is don't start the season with nine min-price players.

Given how long Papenhuyzen is out for and the current info around his recovery (i.e. it'll be a while), I think Gennings or whoever gets that vacant wing spot is safe for long enough to be a good cash cow.
