They either have a lot of faith in Koroisau, or have something else in the works. Reading the Manly forum, they are generally pissed off at losing Parcell, and Koroisai does not get much love as a hooker from Manly fans.
Lewis Brown can fill in at hooker, but Koroisau has played 80 minutes there plenty in the past.
Fantasy wise though, he's still not that good an option. Averages mid to high 40s as 80 minute hooker. Priced at about 40.
If he could play 80 minutes at hooker but still do a chunk of kicking, then he might rise enough to be useful.
Going to be a little awkwardly priced if he becomes primary hooker. Some value, but maybe not enough to justify getting him in

Looks like a great shout Shanbon but I disagree with how they are obviously viewing him if there are no hidden off field issues! He provided plenty every time I watched him play and always seemed to be a catalyst to any decent Manly attack! Maybe there is a deep lying injury issue that Manly aren't comfortable withShanbon wrote:I did tell you guys manly were trying to offload parcel.

You're going to want both in your final team. If not are you going to miss too many points in the first few weeks? Who else would you choose? Discuss.

Josh Chudleigh did his ACL.
With Kostjaysn and Brandon Smith having left the club, leaves cowboys thin on hooking stocks.
Other than Ray Thompson, who else do they have?
Seems like they are just picking and choosing...I'm hoping Welch gets the starting backrow spot with Finucane and Harris, doubtful but I've always been a fan of his and goes well fantasy wise in short stintsMilchcow wrote:
Melbourne prices up.
Slater gets an artificial boost to $212k, but they leave Jahrome Hughes at $359k.
If they are going to make some players more expensive, they can at least drop the price of the ridiculous ones as compensation

Think I have locked Smith in regardless of price, seems to be on average 5-10 points better than the next best hooker and will be my captain most weeks. Tell me what other hookers you should have instead of him.
There is potential upside in McCullough, Peats, McInnes etc. but nothing is guaranteed but I expect to get a 60 average from Smith. I'm staying away from Fifita for now as I think there's better value elsewhere.

Parcell to Leeds = confirmed
Sege to Sharks = unconfirmed
Beale to Manly = unconfirmed
If Beale goes that leaves a backline spot open at the Sharks. I was reading a Sharks forum & they mentioned Capewell as that man they would like to get the position. The reckon he could be an Oates type player & that he's played in the backs before I think. He looked pretty good coming off the bench in the games I saw.

Have to agree. People considering not having Smith, who will you captain?

Welch looks a good prospect allright but more of a middle forward. KBrom or NAS or someone I've never heard of to take Proctor's spot. Whoever it is, playing outside Cronk for a Bellamy team, is straight in my squad. I hope it's NAS...with his size and running and handling ability he could be a devastating edge forward.
Is it just me or are they being really tight on DPP this year, particularly FRF/2RF? The first week's run-on teams and resultant DPP additions are going to be really important in getting yourself a bit of flexibility.

Yeah, will really piss me off if Josh McGuire isn't named in the 13 in round 1 but then ends up there in round 2. Seems there will be more cheapie front rowers than 2nd rowers at this stage.
On Proctors replacement, front runners are Kbrom and Felise Kaufusi, but there is a young guy also in the mix also (forget his name). Finucane injured his knee apparently should be right for round 1 but wouldn't be surprised to see his minutes cut short a bit to start the season, which could bode well for Kbrom as well.
