I've coached a lot of first grade teams.

Salmon's a better ball player than Curran. Ciraldo clearly wants a ball playing lock.

Career average of 58 playing 80 at second row and he's the sort to rip in to try claim the spot. Maybe loses out to Horse or something round 3?

Too many other options, Hors should be back, and Ricky are enough reasons for me to avoid

Are the Bulldogs really a first grade team tho?

Snap

Duals are in - Kiraz, Salmon etc

Smithies didnt get MID!

if anyone feels like another midrange MID

Jacob Saifiti overtook his brother for the starting prop role near the end of last year, and retained starting spot today. Since claiming the start he averages over 40 and is priced at 32.

There's a few others around that price people are looking at, but may not be a terrible option

Think I might just take you up on that offer.

Curran is a 1st grade player though, underrated imo.

Naa Curran is decent he got shafted last year I feel. I'd rather see them use Kikau as an impact player and start Curran

Must have refreshed mid update, was CTR only when I posted, while the others had updated

Should be looking at them all individually

Their bye is R10 so if job security is fine there’s not much issue. For all preseason expectations around lower part of bottom 8, Raiders still have a way better forward pack than a lot of teams so should be able to get upfield fairly easily

Wtf. Guess he's not on my team then. Or do I drop Luki...

True story... I have him too just EDG surely we can call a stewards inquiry. He was primarily a LOCK in super league

Full list:

S Cobbo (Broncos) WFB +CTR
E Strange (Raiders) CTR +HLF
R Tuivasa-Sheck (Warriors) WFB +CTR
T Loiero (Storm) EDG +MID
N Meaney (Storm) WFB +CTR
T May (Panthers) WFB +CTR
J Salmon (Bulldogs) EDG +MID

Luki will share minutes with Finefucker

Can someone talk me out of Crossland? Bailey is always injured and he went pretty good last year.

It is worth noting how well fullbacks have scored so far. Sure, mostly top-tier guns, but still.

Metres seem to be well up. Walsh ran 183m after averaging 155m last year. On a smaller field. Minute sample size means nothing can be drawn from this, but worth watching.

For TLT today, is it enough to lessen the risk of a Tuapiki, Sloan or Rapana? No. But I wouldn't be shocked to see 5 fullbacks in my team come R4.



Class as Vaguely Interesting

Exactly. He was pretty good last year. He won't make any money. And if he won't make money he is not worth the position.

Him and Tom Starling share an Ex-gf.

Don't make me overthink this... Smithies and Luki are my starting edges and I don't need to mess with that.
