J Hughes of the Storm variety or S Hughes plus a warchest?

I ask because looking to bring in J Hughes this week to get ahead of my R14 desolation.

KPP and Lucas rotating with Friz.

Don't think any Knights edge assured 80 are they?

Lucas 80 min edge since Rd 5

Friz has only played 10/11

but think he would defo have the edge over KPP if Friz is back starting there

Loomer wrote:

Thought I heard mention when Friz comes on Lucas moves to middle which is even more appealing. Can anyone confirm?

TU: Hands
TD: API

Cheers

It's a weekly shake of the dice, we don't know

Season started with Friz & Lucas edge, KPP bench

It's only due to Lucas injury (We assume) that KPP even got the starting gig

I'd say Lucas could be a season long keeper for sure, but I'm someone who picked him up 100K cheaper. I do find he is quite comfortably one of the Knights best though...

Why not both and use Hands as a cash-out? I reckon he is odds on to play 80 for the rest of the season and will be valuable throughout origin and in the 18-21 post-origin. Use that cash to get the best looking DPP HOK around prior top R16

If BA was still coach, I'd disagree with you, but certainly the change of coach (and subsequent change in minutes) is promising for Hands

Bigger concern would be a mid-season signing. Don't even know who would be available, but if a quality hooker did become available I'm sure parra would be interested. Low enough chance that I am more than happy to risk it not happening

Honeysett wrote:From an eye test, Lucas and Frizz are the Knights best second rowers. Only because I think KPP needs more fire in the belly. If he had some mongrel in him when he's got the ball and wanted to smash into guys and break tackles he's our number one option. He runs like he's a halfback at the moment, will be and still is a great addition to Newie though.

For the Panthers:
- Jack Cole has been cleared of any injury to his hamstring, with his early removal from Round 12 mostly a precaution
- Brad Schneider has been named to return 3 weeks after suffering an LCL tear - a week or two ahead of schedule
