upside: holds onto starting edge spot, 430k, scores well for a while. he looks to have a future in the nrl, passes eye test.
risk: he's young, benji shuffles the lineup again, bateman at 13 doesnt work out, mins fluctuate, wasnt worth a trade, etc



It occured to me I could punt Salmon to S Fainu right after I posted it. There's a chance Lussick can resume 40+ scoring, and Salmon shelf life has probably expired anyway.

i'm sold:

Apologies in advance if I break Walsh

Or keep Hughes and go Plath over AFB?

Cobbo at CTR is a great example of how Latrell at CTR could work well. They get the ball to him a lot and he comes looking for it early in the set. Both have similar playing styles. It still works for fantasy too

Mitchell purposefully going and looking for tough carries?

Are we talking about Latrell or Shaq here?

You’d prefer Hughes to AFB?

Storm have some nice fixtures coming up, but Warriors bench is light meaning more big mins for AFB. Not sure who i like better

To be honest I think this year with no Freddy they will run them both, as a QLDer I'm hoping for Cleary/Luai combo.

I think the idea has been do whatever makes Cleary the most comfortable since he is the best player in the world.

Right or wrong that has meant giving him his preferred halves partner in Luai, Koroisau starting over Cook and Yeo over Murray

There is absolutely no reason Cleary and Hynes can't mirror JT/Cronk pairing with 2 dominant halves
