Prior will get 45-50 mins if the Sharks have a bench hooker which they probably will so he's a good pick imo.

Why?
because the Sharks will then have 3 forwards and a Hooker on the bench
Last year they played with 3 forwards and a back on the bench 13 from 27 times
Cant see the difference really and then there's the Tagaetese factor that has been discussed on previous pages
Prior = LAM II

Starting to smell Like LAM...

So theres really no fantasy for the All Stars tonight?

Can't wait for the fucking clocks to go back, 9am start for the all stars which i know means 9:15 or 9:20. Got a meeting at 9:30 so fucked if I'm going to see much of it. Got the day working from home so I could watch some of it but forgot all about the times Want to see how Turner goes in 13 a side.

Moneyball has a freeroll comp if you're desperate

Also has money comps but game time will be such a lottery I am not comfortable putting money down (might have a team or 2 if there is overlay close to kickoff)

Going to watch the game taped tomorrow. Who's everyone excited to watch ?

IT mate. We have daily "standup's". They are usually in the morning for most companies as it supposed to be a way to give a quick update on things others might be waiting for, or call out for help on stuff or something like that. We also have an offshore team to liaise with so the morning timeslot is kinda the only one that works with the timezones.


As for who I'm excited about, obviously its seeing Croker once again, as well as the other Raiders and newbie Turner (as mentioned). But I'm also keen to see how Mybe, Taylor and Moses look this year.

Design Engineer.

So with the article today about Wallace starting at lock. Does that mean there will be some value for whoever starts in the front with James?

Joel Thompson straight into everyones team

What does everyone thing of my latest creation:

Smith (c), Farah
McGuire, Gurgess, AFB, Matagi
JDB (VC), Surgess, Smata, Sironen, Kbromwich, Stimson
Ataylor, Lamb, Hingano, Nona
Whare, Idris, Scott, Kelly
RTS, Hayne, French, Jennings, Ponga

Vaughn just became a must have

New year, same old useless refs.

Hahahaha, Spectre stirring pots, calling out the bandwagoners

On field referee has no idea so he just guesses, and then the video ref doesn't have enough evidence to overturn so they stick with it.

Gonna see a lot of this again until they scrap on field decisions.

Mead should be everyone's number one pick!

Theres nothing in that says he'll start the season at lock just that he has been training in the middle and that in this trial he wont change his game. There was more to the McQueen article last week that says he has been training at lock and really wants to make that his position. There were more direct quotes from the player about the season in that article

Did you see his run? He will average 71 after that.
