At the very least, his style of play will put a bit more pressure on Johnson to get it right week to week.

I reckon he will be putting more pressure on CNK tbh reckon he might get his first taste this year of NRL at FB

The other player out of the Warriors trial who could be a dead set fantasy weapon if he has a break out year is Edward Kosi... he ran like a prop at speed and looked very hard to tackle. If he is getting better service from the HLFs could be the next Talakai (albiet on the WNG)

If the coach takes on the panthers style of huge running meters for the outside backs that's a good call

I've seen that handle on the Cowboys forum.

So he is basically the next Meninga yeah? Lock him in please Eddie.

I much rather the next Mal Meninga than Hamiso-Tabuai-Fidow - they are priced about the same

My last draft before TLT see's Cheese at hooker which I didn't want to do, and leaves me with only 2 hookers. I'll live with that at this stage cos I like the team balance aside from that position. I always look for 200 points from 14-17, these should be good for 150+ to start so that's ok.

Cheese
Tapine Haas Elliot
Garner Katoa
Hastings Burton
Thompson Almoti
Perham Meaney Walsh

Doorey Pangai Hopgood Boyd
Martin Jennings Talau Hammer

9k bank

Will be C Haas and hope his heads right. Seen some dissing Garner but he can run a line in try scoring positions (Wests fan) and will be running off slightly better playmakers. I know I'll be throwing a can at the tv at some point in the first month cos of Pangai, he was second last picked to leave 250k+. Best upside and positional coverage. Talau and Hammer only in for ctr coverage, not happy with either. Walsh is in instead of Savage cos sportsbet tips broncs for 8th raiders 10th, some help here pls?

Thumbs up Walsh
Thumbs down Savage

Too much Betel Nut

A quick Friday Night Thumbs Up/Down for you. I'm off the the pub, look forward to seeing the results in the morning

TU Murray Elliot Cheese
TD Tapine Cotter Cheese

Cheese is backup hooker with good Mid cover on bench

I've redone my side a bit, put Uto in since based on the trial it seems like Matamua won't start and he will (and if he doesn't then it's an easy swap) and got rid of AKP who seems like the kind of guy who'll get dropped in round 4. I've gone back to CNK as my 3rd WFB, since he's got that FB spot locked down and if nothing else has always had good base stats unlike all the other guys at his price.

Clark
Murray, Haas, Cheese
Garner, Loiero
Cleary, Burton
Holmes, Alamoti
Miller, Perham, CNK

Boyd, Hopgood, Uto, Doorey

Luke, Gennings, Talau, Sloan

As good as Uto played, how many minutes is he realistically going to get with Klem, Ofa and Twal in the middle?

At the very least, his style of play will put a bit more pressure on Johnson to get it right week to week.

More realistically, slot him at FB and CNK moves to the centres. Can't see them dropping SJ this season.

Twal is a slug and given how Sheens wants to play more attacking footy, I can see Twal being on the outer. Uto looked hungry in that trial and as long as he starts, I think he's an easy pick.

Worst case none of the Tigers cheapie forwards are relevant and I just bring AKP back and hope he doesn't get dropped (and move Luke or Gennings up into my 17).

There's also Siua Wong who (as long as Crichton is out if that mail is legit) is almost guaranteed a start on the edge given that Egan Butcher would get the other edge and Nat has been training middle.

Would love that setup at the Roosters.

Not a bad set-up Bethany.
Would you rate Uto higher than Wallace for bench middle?

Given that Wayne has said JBrom and Nicholls will start, then Wallace is a no-go. Uto is only worth it if he starts, so there's a decent chance neither of them are good.

Afternoon folks,


Hope everyone is doing well, I'm back for another year! Looking forward to it
