I don't trust sticky even after all these years

If I was to hazard a guess of mins distribution in 13 jersey then expect Bateman to be lions share.

Tapine is interesting nuisance value to that, given whitehead is 80mins and it doesn't leave much space when you bring Dave Taylor into the mix who also needs edge minutes.

All in all I can see Soli and perhaps even Papalli ending up pretty quickly in a prop rotation, with Vaughan now gone

Man we see things very, very differently. Which is both funny and interesting.
How i see it:
1) Vaughan played sweet F.A games for us last season, him moving on won't have any impact on Papa or Soli, if they do change roles/minutes its for other reasons
2) Soli already spent time at prop as did Bateman. Aside from Papa and Whitehead, pretty much of all of our pack are rotated through the FR (we pretty much use the lock as a third prop anyway) and get varying game time each week depending on how the game plays out.
3) I'd definitely bet Soli gets the lions share of time at Lock for at least the first half of the year (though as i said above I don't think it matters much given how we use them). Might be different later in the year or if we get an injury mid game.
4) Tapine replaced a prop also, he occasionally ran a bit wider i guess, but he didn't impact the minutes of Papa or Whitehead from what i recall.

He's a keeper until origin for me

agree could become a keeper mate plus DPP definate plus this year

My point in this debate was that you were discounting some picks without backing them up with stats or basic theory

DSaifiti is in a lot of teams and was blagged for struggling his way to 40. Yet in the second half of the season he hit over 50 twice without a try last year with a 52 in 56 minutes and a 58 in 46 minutes so well capable and only priced at 36 points

Neither is as good as Siro though are they Welshy

No Comment.

I think the argument is you can use that 50k on your 17. I don't think I'd have him if he wasn't in my 17. He should make at least double that 50k, but won't be contributing points.

Whats everyone going to do if Hayne doesnt play round 1?

How manu inutes do you see Bateman getting

I think averaging out at around 45min and not deviating too far/often from that, just occasionally to anywhere between 30-60min. I'm not sure if there is an easy correlation between minutes and his scores though tbh. Take a look at last year and he could make 20 tackles in 30min and then 25 tackles in 60. I think its just how the team works, not on him mind you.

sit him on the bench, 1 week is worth the hit imo.
