Hahaha how long have you been waiting to pull that one out?

90% of my comments about players are negative. If I sound positive about a player you should worry.

Its funny you mention that I do worry about you and Tim Simona

According to Gerard Condon (from Reading The Play) on 2SM Talkin Sport this afternoon, Tim Simona looks like a done deal to The Titans.

That can only be good news for Milone. Plenty of competition for backline spots at the Titans now with Hurrell, Simona, Vidot, Zillman, Don, Olive, Sarg and Davis.

Chee kam edges another step closer to appear tempting... haha..

Though expect idris/naiqama ctrs and rankin/nofo wings? Though rankin could miss out?

You would think it only puts Rankin back in the side?

For the sake of my Fantasy side I sure hope not

Nathan Milone reminds me of another Sean Meaney-great reserve grader and Captain at that level, but will never be a full time First Grader. Chee Kam potentially slips into centre but more than likely Kev is our other centre.

Yeah I think you are right. Kev is off contract isn't he? Fresh Prince could be in for a good year.

Why would you rearrange your team to get a player because of a pre-season article talking him up.

Its barely a step above 'training the house down'

It was 1 in the morning and I had nowhere to be the next day. Like I'm going to go a day without shifting everything around just to see what it looks like

My Fantasy side will look so much better when I can select McGuire at 2RF.

The whole thing with him was quite bizarre. Around the time Idris was signed Kev was apparently gone, and I think ESL was where he was off to. Apparently had signed a contract. Last 6 weeks we haven't heard boo about it.

If he plays like he did last year than yeah, could be in for another good year. From an on field pov, you would hope they have run hundreds of defensive drills with him to get rid if his jitters-bloke comes in too early too much.

Kev is the worst defensive centre in the comp, sorry 2nd worse, Beale when he is at centre is the worst.

The Simona to Titans screws my cheap outside back though as i was sure we would see Olive or Davis in the team but unlikely now.

Ayshford?

Hahahaha Zillman to the Tigers?? Wow haven't the tigers gone through enough??

Whilst I currently have Hess it's funny the whole talk about minutes/roles/voodoo situation with Hess has a real LAM, KEvans vibe to it. I had both of them (Both props)

But you've gotta pick some midrangers. Last year I also held Cartwright and Whitehead all year

Are there any Cartwright/Whiteheads this year? Last year mid range backrowers was where the money was, maybe this year it's the halves? Who knows? Thoughts?

?

Anyone looking at Dylan Walker especially if he receives GK duties?

Should ask @Welshy! He has a good track record in naming a potential hot pick before the season has started
