Exactly what I was going to say no reason why they can't get 300km each

Even if he only averages 200KM thats 10 base points to go with 20 tackles and some RM, good solid scoring that is. Plus if the knights attack improves he adds attacking stats, if they are diabolical again he adds KM.

Anybody taking Hurrell?

When it seems he is fully fit and over his knee issues. I have him as an early upgrade target

There's definitely no reason that they can't but it's rare for halves to split kicking duties 50/50. I may be proven wrong and that's no skin off my nose (couldn't care less to tell ya the truth) but I can't see it happening. Lamb gets 150-200 max I'd say. Tbh, I didn't really watch a lot of him last year so I'm flying blind but that's ok.

All else fails I trade him out for Fogarty when he starts or maybe even Jacks if that's the way Melb decides to go. Gotta have a bit of fun with it tho! Ain't living if I ain't running a risk!

Damn you Welshy, can't get ya bloody words out of my head

If he scores between 35 - 45 you'll be laughing

YOLO

Hampton is the biggest no that ever no'd this year.

As a bench hooker he is overpriced, and is likely to lose you money. Averages 14.3 from the bench, priced at 16.2

Isn't this oversimplifying it a little? I don't know all that much about him and how he was used at the Storm, but isn't it possible/likely he plays a different role with the Cowboys?

New website looks like shit.

And I was finally happy with my team until this Seggy news came in. Fuck off Seggy.

I'm coming back at 3am when it will just be me and welshy to answer each others questions

I remember reading somewhere just after Archers favourite trail game that Lamb was preferred for long kicks and Hodkinson was preferred for the short attacking kicks.

It would explain the kick metre differences last year in the games they played together. Might carry over to this year too

Hodko only averaged 150KM all year regardless of Lamb, I just enjoy the safer bet lad. Plus Lamb is a reserve in my squad so lessens the risk if he bombs and maybe I'll jump onto TMM

Lots of talk about these halves making 20 tackles in base stats, can anyone tell us how many halves avg 20+ tackles last year, lets say min 5 games.

I did read over a month ago up here in Newcastle that Hodgkinson will still manage his injury like last year but is in a slightly better position this pre-season

Even M Moses who most think would be targeted a lot in D only avg 16.7 tackles

I'm off work until Tuesday i'll be here too

Any suggestions on some pods in the fullbacks and wingers
Apart from tommy t and tedesco
Could rapana still score big, also thinking waqa blake and josh addo carr, radradra also interesting

Both Lamb and TMM averagd over 20 last year albeit in small samples. I'll look now
