I'm still doubtful about Bradley's usefulness, so ideally he won't be essential to the back 3, just in case he flops or gets dropped.

But if he is named at edge next week, the upside is just too great not to have him, so if you drop either of them it would have to be Papy.

Bradley has been added.... as well as Mikaele

SOS was an HIA wasn't it? Given there's two weeks between games would expect he'll be ok if it wasn't out of the ordinary, but haven't seen confirmation.

Cool. Thanks for the update.
I was just worried he may have been carrying a hammy / calf strain etc. you know the types of injuries that are listed as 1-2 weeks and end up being 6!

So basically this seems to be the source of the SCWhisperer Roosters rumour... not any inside info, just a club training video from. Vegas: https://youtu.be/MEcyVU7mz_s?si=VV5CebrYx3dd3RGv

First 13 seem to be in white, including Sitili, Wong and Leniu. Angus and NButcher are in blue. If that *is* the squad then Christ knows, because either or both of those last two can play sizable minutes in the middle or edge.

Junior Pauga is wearing white so don't think theres any substance to that theory

Haven't paid any attention to Fantasy yet - can someone please give me the rundown on how round 1 team list announcements and lockouts work?

TLT A is today, TLT B is next tuesday. Only vegas players get locked in, can change everyone that plays next weekend up until they play

Yes, but people can exist in the fantasy system without any corresponding guarantee of being named in first grade (especially on a continuing basis)


I am hopeful Bradley gets a good run as storm starting edge, but don't want to base my team around that happening

Important thing is that you have a full squad of 21, including C and VC, locked in by Sunday

any non Vegas players can be swapped around next week, but you have to have a valid team by first lockout this Sunday.

Straight into Matts team?

Sort of makes sense if Loiero is now a lock/King starting 'prop'. Kami/Welch also in prop rotation  and Blore hanging around bench to play some edge ? Who knows.

If Bradley only comes in to play edge while NAS is injured or suspended he's probably still worth it tbqfh

Surely they signed Blore primarily as an edge? I'll hardly be surprised if he's named to start there

on blore it's probably a culture shock wests to storm & the training is probably more intense with greater quality of competition for spots & you have a coach who won't stand for any bs whereas at wests he may of had more leeway

In the probable absence of Bradley, I'll likely be running Jack "New Giraffe" Bostock in WFB3 - quite liked how the phins kicked to him in attack.

Do we have to have a full 21 picked by sunday? Ik we will still be able to trade in and out but as long as my 21s full by last game of round 1 surely I still get scored

You need a full 21 before sunday.
I don't think its a big issue. Most people will already have a team named by now Is there anyone out there that i still sitting with an incomplete team?

and make sure you have a C and VC (that will be locked in)

Assuming Cleary as Captain, having VC as best player from Vegas teams probably a good idea (Haas/Murray I think will be popular)

they also have Joe Chan, Jack Howarth, Chris Lewis

Bradley was named to start in both trials, so that's what Fantasy fans are hanging their at on (and the fact he got added as WFB)

The Storm website still lists him as a winger too

I have a couple things im still not certain on, Im running Murray and Haas atm but may have to downgrade Murray depending on who gets named. the problem is Murray will be locked by that point.

Leaning towards captaining Haas. Just so Cleary isnt locked incase of illness/injury before Panthers play, Anyone else thinking of doing a similar thing?
