There's every chance Luciano is back early rounds, Since the Domestic abuse allegations Luciano proposed to his Girlfriend, And she came out and said that she wants the case dropped. Why he continues to be stood down just doesn't make sense. The stood down rule is the worst thing thats ever been brought into the NRL, what ever happened to innocent until proven guilty? they claim the being stood down has nothing to do with their innocence yet they punish players for these charges before there finalised. Take JDB for an example, He missed 3 seasons all because of an girl claim she was sexually assaulted, which turned out to be a lie... thank you for listening to my Ted talk

Let's reconvene in R13 and see who is a trade (or more) behind who.

Rhino is going to be focusing on not trading as his primary objective now

Need some more 'Mao' quotes.

I can retain Tapine all season and trade the other MIDs to any other position that I want at a time that works for me. while those that didn't start with Tapine will still need to trade him in. I will have 1 more for round 13 that others won't already have.

Hopgood is another that will work in a similar way, so will have 2 quality Mids right through. How many other players would equally qualify as not requiring a trade all season? 

Simple math for those still missing the obvious point

Let's look at it another way, Haas vs Tapine to start with in round 1. Haas plays 1 more game than Tapine in the first 12 rounds. Assuming they both average similarly and Haas scores a 60 on the week Tapine has his bye and he is the only Raiders player in the team. 

By that round you should have a replacement player capable of 45+ on your bench as 18th man, so you may have lost up to 15 points, but you have saved the trade from Haas to Tapine. Is a trade worth more than 15 points? Of course. Simple math and logic!

Why do you think that after 7 rounds your 18th worst player is going to score 45+ points?

I will definitely be watching to see how you can accrue a team of 18 45+ score players by the end of round 7. If you can,  I suspect you'll probably have a 300 point lead over 2nd place in overall

I like the idea of registering for the late comers league to avoid being way down the back

The best part of not having daylight savings returns... early kick offs

It's definitely possible.
I just think there's a real chance by that point that you are carrying a short term injury, a suspension or some other random reason (flu, resting) that means your 18th, is actually your 19th or 20th, by which time it's probably some one who could put up a 30 or 40 (looped), or they might put up an 8 or a 27.

Banking on them being within 15 points or less of Haas seems a little bit of a flight of fancy.

I also have no problem with the idea of strategically focusing on bye friendly players, or of Tapine (wonderful player).
My doubts around Tapines scoring matching Haas are more based around Ricky's propensity to change the plan, or minutes on any given day.

I usually only get time to post a bit in the preseason.
By the time the season is underway I can not keep up with the number of posts.
I miss the banter and atmosphere from the Sportal days. It can get a bit too serious around here sometimes.

TKO: 51mpg
Watson: 51mpg
Verrils: 64mpg
Angus: 75mpg

Assume Cheese takes Verrils' and Starting second rower takes Angus'.  Who then takes the TKO and Watson minutes?  From last year:

Collins 47mpg
Radley 60mpg
Lodge 43mpg
JWH 40mpg
