    Thats probably about it really. Might watch the first 20 mins if im home (ill probably be home)

    Maybe Loiero is a smokey for 50 average this year playing HYBRID role starting lock, shift wide late in game when Blore is tired. Not going to see that in a trial tho

    Hutchison averages mid 40s even excluding his 102 at 5/8 and half with around mid 200s KM

    Only really needs to be named. Absolutely shits on Flanagan as an option for 50k more

    With a lot of mid rangers I’m thinking of going with a strong 18th man and tempted to put Piakura at 18th man. Even though he averages 40 in starts, has high MT rate and decent reliance on attacking stats so far. Averages mid 30s in his whole cup career

    If Xerri looks like a solid 40+ scorer tonight and in the next trial, do you think he will become more popular among fanatics? The transition from a four-year ban is intriguing and there are not too many examples of this to go off.

    At $400k, Hutchison should have enough value without a huge amount of kicking. He was consistently only getting around 200 km at Roosters when playing half (between 190 and 206 across 4 games) and scoring well.

    Hutchison should be good to unlock the right side attack, benefitting Kiraz and the right CTR. Should have a really different role than the guys playing there last season like Flanagan, who had 0 try assists in the halves in 10 games.

    Nice pun. I think by the end of today you won't be able to resist having Hughes in your team. Looking like he is getting a starting spot.

    Because hes named to start in a trial? Carn friend i told you, im onto you.

    Sutton are knight are reasonably average anyway, so it wouldnt really surprise me.

    I was thinking that we have a decent history of edges going to the middle and scoring well for fantasy purposes. Tohu, Jackson, Mannering, Gillett. Loiero is probably too much of a plodder but would be interesting if he gets big minutes

    I would expect King still gets big minutes at prop, (average 65 minutes at lock last season), Welch 49 minutes won't see a drop and they will need decent minutes from both NAS and Tui. Hard to see where they get the minutes from for Loiero to play lots through the middle.

    Anyone thinking of running Grant, Blore and Pappy at this stage? Should I have a rethink?

    He's Drew Hutchinson, he's not Shaun Johnson or Andrew John's, he's not unlocking anything.

    At 400k he'll definitely be in my team though if he starts, despite the "average player, bad club" rule.

    Just noticed Tyrone Wishart starting at HOK. Also just noticed that Grant started to play less than 80 at the end of last season. Bench hooking coincidence?

    Year of le (fully) sick budget HOK!

    Can't remember about Gillett, but the other three were 80 minutes when transferring to the middle, Loiero likely won't be.

    Yeah the pieman’s son Garlick started I thought. Could potentially run that again.

    i was just thinking grant was given a rest late in the season to freshen up for finals.

    i guess it depends who the utility is though.. either that young outside back, or the wishart/garlick/whoever. bellamy probably plays a straight bat early in the season unless they're worried about papy.

    Week 2 and week 3 of the finals, grant came off the bench after 15mins, Garlick started. Potentially a strategy Bellamy could look to run again; makes me second guess having Grant. Both times he was named to start as well, reverting to the bench on gameday.

    Ah yeah, good call, shows how much I paid attention.

    Cheap hooker it is. Maybe.

    I feel like Robson can do the job early season anyway. No reason why. Just feels. I've never owned Robson.

    I wish I had your feels for Robson.
    Selected him last year (due to no Origin and his try scoring rate).
    Burnt me on both.
    I'll probably regret it, but I just can't go back there.
    J.Brailey or JMK for me with an Eels Hooker as back-up.

    JBrails and JMK look good, particularly now that I've seen Muhleisen on the Dragons bench.


    Robson needs tries to be worth the price, but early season the Cowboys could do that. Particularly poaching around the rock when the middle forwards get tired in the heat.

    The Phoenix factor puts me off Brailey a little, and the JMK early buy isnt ideal.

    Could be Robson and wishful thinking is the way to go
