Grant
Tapine, Hass, Carrigan
Fifita, E.Butcher
Doueihi, Boyd
Alamoti, Thompson
Warbrick, Miller, Talau
Cheese, Hopgood, E.Katoa, Ford
Preston, Trindall, I.Katoa, HSS
Yes, I am ridiculously cheap and shallow in the backs but I can't get past the security and high scoring potential of my MID/EDG. Fifita looks fit and ready to go. Love the idea of having him as a POD.
No Cleary, Murry or Cook so I will be Captaining one of Grant or Haas...
HSS in Emergency as WFB/Ctr cover (via Talau and Thompson). Keen to see how these guys play out. Happy to drop Thompson/Miller after 1-2 weeks if they look like duds and there is a cheaper option available.
This will also help with my eventual plan of bringing in Cleary or Hynes (injury dependent) for Doueihi for Rd 4 (after Panthers bye).
Bank Trindall once Hynes returns (fingers crossed it's more 3-4 weeks - calves are niggly)!
That along with my other cash outs will hopefully allow me to bring in Turbo shortly after the Manly bye.
Then set and forget until SOO and ride the cashies!!
Sounds great in theory, never gonna be that easy but im happy with the risk reward strategy.
Another option could be to downgrade Grant to Hodgson to free up cash but I honestly don't know much about Hodgson (other than that he's old/older and returning from injury).
Any thoughts or insights into why the Eels Hooker might be a good option as a cashie and low end gun?
