Nah it's either gun up or roll the dice. Feels like the first year in a while with no cash cow hooker options

I was going with Eels HOK, but if both are named, also stuck.

Atm I have B Smith and Lussick. Its a foolproof plan

I have Grant and Cheese because I don't trust BA to actually play the Eels hooker 80 minutes.

Will be kinda funny if hands is on the bench just as utility cover and lussick still plays 80.

I was going to roll the dice with Lussick and Levi, but am more likely to roll with 80-minute-no-early-bye-round-Robson and see what happens with the others for the first few weeks.

I was legit thinking ways BA will do a whacked out rotation. And I believe this is probably the legitimate answer.

I just chucked in Grant and Levi. Probably costs about the same. So really just leaving about a mil ITB for two randos that could be Cheese and Lussick

He's safe enough, he earnt the spot last year. Mariner is basicaly first in line backup, but if Broncos are going ok and Arthars is doing a reasonable job, he keeps the spot.

I’m unlikely to take Arthars don’t see more than 3-4 points value

PS: Team Murray

I haven’t read every single post I was on holiday in QLD for 8 nights just got back half hour ago

I'd take Murray over Haas, but at this stage have neither

I'm pretty sure - this. He might take 10 min from time to time. BA said he "wants" an 80 min hooker (him and everyone else)

I’m leaning more to taking Cheese just because plays first up, has DPP no early byes. Im aware it could backfire

Haas 45percent owned last I looked

Lussick was named HOK with Hands on the bench 4 times last season. In 3 of them he played 80 minutes . Worth the risk I think.

His current 6.5% ownership could actually drop at TLT in that scenario and be a great POD.

Might have been said already but rumour Cam McInnes will be named Captain for Sharks in coming days.

If that is the case and he’s the 13 he could be an alternative keeper middle to Haas or Murray at just over 700k.

I'd be all over that. Pretty sure he played 80 in the trial.

At least one of those HANDS played HLF to cover Moses when he got injured at HT. the other two times he was 18th man

On the topic of Fogarty, I agree with you. Don't really see the upside in him and he can only get so many kick metres.

That said, I don't think running Hutchison as a frontline half is the way to go with that. I've got Moses there in my team, as he has much higher upside (can score 100s on a good day) and has a pretty decent opening draw, as well as no early byes (first one is round 9)

Hutchinson has the once in a blue moon hundred in him and am aware his floor is much lower than his, as well. I have thought about and tinkered with a team that had Moses. I’ve left myself wriggle room if I was to consider a Moses type player. Best case scenario is someone like Kane Bradley cements a spot in the starting side(you’d probably know more into this than anyone else). Worse case, you sacrifice somewhere to get him into the team.

I am still waiting for a HLF/cTR or HLF/WFB 250k mapalangi miracle
