Similar aspirations, what worries me is that first round game against the Dolphins. Roosters will shell them like peas and a huge score could quickly kickstart Suaali’s price and make for some awkward decisions.

I’ve heard rumours he’s been training at centre, if he was to receive DPP would that be enough to tip the scales for you to start with him?

Hosking or Garner on the Left edge for the Panthers?

Willfully using trades on centres. After four rounds. Youre out of control

No not really.

Everyone is assuming Garner, would much prefer it was Hosking though.

To be fair - does anyone know whose alt decided to start to defy traditional notions of gender? If certainly is not me. I am standard issue!!!

Lot of teams going to get ripped up if the Panthers edge is Sorensen and the Storm's are Sims and NAS.

if NAS gets an edge spot he's coming straight into my team, but we don't have that many middles so I doubt it'd happen.

What happened to the usual forum domain?

hahaha I typed in the normal url this morning and the first thing I saw was a mormon discussion forum and just assumed pre-season planning had gone a bit off the rails

My Cowboys mate says Sadragu is still training on starting edge.

I have these 2 drafts currently

Grant
Murray Elliot Cheese
Wilton Loreiro
Cleary Hastings
Reimis I. Thompson
Miller Savage Perham

Boyd Hopgood Garner Sadragu
Doorey Stone Talau Sloan


Cheese
Murray Carrigan Elliot
Wilton Loreiro
Cleary Hastings
Suaali (likely DPP) I. Thompson
Miller Savage Perham

Boyd Garner Hopgood Sadragu
Doorey Stone Talau Sloan



So essentially Grant and Reimis or Carrigan and Suaali. Which one is better?

Carrigan and Suaalii. Both should have upside. Grant and Reimis have the same roles and minutes as last season. In 80 minute games at CTR, Reimis only averaged 29.

Not convinced on the Wilton pick, when there is likely to be so much value at EDG at cheaper prices. Decent chance that Graham takes some minutes off him and at 60-70 minutes per game he only averages 36, with only 1 score above 50, which included a try.

Wilton is great value, if and only if he has an 80 minute role with Graham either playing middle only or not at all.

Unfortunately I don't think he will get that 80 min role, Graham will steal enough mins off him to ruin him. If he does get that role though, Talakai and Ronaldo become much better bets as Graham was a huge handbrake to that left side attack and when they had Wilton playing 80 on that side, the outside men did a lot better (no surprise Talakai got his 107 when Wilton played 80 and was running great lines)

The Godfather forget to pay the power bill?

that reminds me of the fookers movies where de niro says he's the godfooker

Keen to hear with the strong case for Cotter.

I love him as a player but the COWBOYS have so many forwards to fit into their rotation. Why are people picking him to increase his scoring?

is anyone familiar with what is happening at the panthers? Mitch Kenny was playing a role at MID as well as HOK when coming on last year... there is also Peachey and Luke vying for a spot on the bench. Kenny could be great value or a mid ranger who does not really do much? What is the verdict?
