60mins 40pts with some upside perhaps?
HIA through the rotation off but think he gets some decent time out there
417k so cheap though looks to be back running well again after the HIA killing his price earlier

Injuries are his biggest problem but thats why he is cheap so nothing is without risk

Missing anything major?

I think he’s a good shout and super cheap. There were a few games where he was healthy and only played about 30-40mins is what put me off originally so there’s always a chance he goes back to that

Very interesting. How does qld line up?

8 Papa (Swan song) / Tino
9 Hunny
10 Welch
11 Kaufusi
12 Capewell
13 Carrigan
14 Grant
15 Tino/Collins (Papa starts or doesn't play imo)
16 Fifita (feel he is locked in, best season yet)
17 Gilbert/Hopgood/Cotter (maybe in that order)

I can’t see Papa making it and I half expect to see a fluff piece about how he’s stepping aside to help the younger generation in the next couple of weeks.

I don’t think Gilbert makes it this year I think he was there last year with all the injuries

Mofo has been huge for the titans this year I can’t see him being overlooked

I reckon he is capable of much more in a still injury riddled pack but don't want to set expectations too high
HIA threw the rotation off last week but think he gets some decent time out there again this week

Yeah always a risk, just having a browse through the team lists and offering up something different to Tatola if you are looking for possible value

King and Sutton didn't play last week.

Should have paid attention in class this year

QLD are stacked for forwards. There's about 5 fighting for one spot. Pretty crazy.

Dude, you've bet one of your balls and now you're bracketing him with two other players? Living dangerously.

Doesn't seem to fit Freddy's energy, right?

8 Paulo
9 Cook
10 Haas
11 Frizell
12 Murray
13 Yeo
14 Api/Robson/Hynes/Bird
15 Olakau'atu
16 J Saifiti
17 Martin

Maybe smokey in Lawrie? Hudson Young? Could see Young getting the nod over Friz, but with JTurbo out Freddy probably looks to an experienced player, right?

Yeah this was why I got him instead of Matto when I sold Hopgood (paid off big time since that week) - even with Origin he only misses one extra game (R19) and almost always backs up (though I would think he'll get an early shower in the games he backs up in, but he'll play)

It's a combination of things but it's less fun watching titans games when he isn't in my team
So just going to stick to that ethos, seems to be working so far so not going to over think it

Have the funds to do it now without destroying my team so makes sense to do it now
