Yep the Storm realised a pre season injury report an hour ago.

Justin Olam (fractured forearm)

After undergoing surgery on the arm injury he sustained in the pre-season match against the Roosters on Sunday, the PNG centre is expected to be sidelined for around six weeks.

Ryan Papenhuyzen (knee)

Paps continues to work hard on his rehab program, building strength in his right leg. If he continues to progress well, it’s hoped he will return to the field around rounds 6-8.

George Jennings (knee)

A medical illness in the new year has delayed the winger’s final stages of recovery from his ACL. He should be available by round four.

Tariq Sims (calf)

A calf injury has kept the former NSW Origin forward out of the trials. He is building towards a return to full training and should be available in the early rounds of the season.

Marion Seve (knee)

A cartilage issue has prevented Marion from training with the main group and playing in pre-season. His return date is TBC.

I was already assuming they would do that, remember that Jackson was playing 70-80 minutes a game last year and someone has to get those minutes.

Gotta love the Bellamy bashing starting pre season this year.
Not like the guy has a decent coaching record or anything eh...

Oh I know he knows what he's doing, I'm just biased because I want Warbrick as a cheapie, and just don't get the appeal of Ieremia. I was wrong about Seve and I hope I'm wrong about Ieremia too.

If G. Jennings is back round 4 though is it really worth getting Warbick?

How has Warbick scored in reserve grade?

I think everyone here wants coaches to pick their round 1 squads based on fantasy prices.

Every NRL team should be forced by law to have a $250k Fantasy CTR starting in their forward pack every year.

Maestro wrote:So my team - feel the balance is okay (although completely sacrificing ctr)

Robson
Tapine Elliott Sutton
Hopgood E Butcher
Cleary Hynes
Alamoti TLT Ctr (250k)
Walsh Miller Perham

Stone Smith Katoa TMM

Genning AKP Talau Wong (or best 4 TLT cheapies)

79k

With a bit of cash allows for some changes watching Bird’s role, E Butcher role

Appreciate any comments

I have Holmes Thompson in the Centre with Alomoti in my 18-21.

The WFB lineup i have hopefully at least 3/4 play every week. Have paid up for 1 solid C as im worried if you go to cheap there you have non players.
