I was just about to say was it him, was just going down the list. Seemed to only score around 30 unless he jagged a try. Make that 28.2.

He scored 2 tries in first two games, great cash cow last year but better value elsewhere. Doesn't have the pedigree of a Chambers or Walker or Hurrell for around the same price.

yeah, I think he could improve over last year though. When he was playing Souths were shit, so it would have been interesting to see how he went if he was in the team for the last six weeks of the season.

Anyone have any major problems with this team?

Smith (C), McInness
McGuire, Vaughan, Wallace, AFB
Surgess, Hess, Sironen, Smith, Stimson, Capewell
DCE, Gutherson, Elgey, Field (once entered into game)
Smat, Idris Scott, Kelly
TTurbo, RTS, Hayne Jennings, NPR

Really liking the balance of my team except the second row. However, think I will sit tight until TLT. Hoping Capewell jags a centre spot to start the year other Jordan Drew might find a spot on the wing for 1 week. With the Sharks byes I'm happy to carry these two. Roosters also have good byes so Chris Smith could sit there too.

One player i keep finding a spot for, which i know i probably shouldnt is Taupau. Sounds like he will be back to his 80 min edge roll. I can see alot of upside him running off Green rather than Walker

There is a lot of question marks around your forward pack but there's no point getting in depth without knowing the team sheets

Great team but yeah i agree if you could just sqeeze one more gun into the forward pack. Maybe try bringing in lamb for TTurbo and move gutherson to wfb and then upgrade either AFB or sironen

I know it's been mentioned before but seriously who is that in Ryan James photo on NRL Fantasy? Did some bloke win a competition to take his place for the photo shoot?

Also Tim Grant is a dead ringer for grumpy cat

If they look good in the trials he's a big chance of making my team. Walker was terrible for his scores.

How are Farah and Cook going to share minutes souths fans?

Reluctantly, in Farah's case

It'll be an ongoing dog fight I reckon.  I don't see it working well for the team to be honest.  Cook should start though, but saying that could be a good off the bench impact player.  Who knows in regards to minutes.

I trying to remember who's playing in the halves next to Reynolds but it won't come to me.

Who is it??

Is that locked in or is there anyone else competing for it?

Plays for the Tigers, that's why.

Walker won't lose that spot.

If ARey goes down injured, who replaces him

I remember picking up Wallace in 2013/14 at bottom dollar (under 100k), when players could go below the starting price... now he's considered a starter.

Luke Kelly?
