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

True. Hodko played a similar way at the knights as well I guess. I am more thinking that Hodko was just generally average in a very average team last year and may have turned that around. Taking on a greater responsibility down there and getting back to on top of his game may mean he's the better half in a shit team.

Or... Newie turns it around and isn't shit this year. Or... They play like the Raiders where they barely ever need to kick cos they just make that many meters. Who knows aye? Will be interesting to watch

You need a different job to better suit your fantasy needs

I'll be on a plane 9am Friday morning on my way to China, then to Canada, then to the US, then back home via Canada and China.

Gonna miss a lot of footy...

Dropped Teddy for DWalker and move Turbo down to WFB.
Got Smith in for McInnes

Smart play bro

Finch wrote:I get the feeling Yates + Stone are both traps...

Who is the one with better prospects?

Have to see what the Knights fans say, but personally Yates has more value purely based on the fact he is DPP. He is also named in the 14 so could be utility/cover for Buhrer who could move to HOK. Could mean more minutes.

Also dropped Norman for Moses think he could be great value this year.
Now I have 187k burning a hole

Non-Brailey team and it still looks like shit

I don't wish any harm on the guy but I think Burher doesn't finish a few matches due to injury and Yates will play out the game. Didn't Burher come off early in the trial?

Still got Koro? Upgrade him with that coin.

Id say all from that list except DCE, Foran, Cleary and Pearce would miss a fair few tackles though

Assuming they all play, pick 2 from Suli, Talakai and Kelly + reasoning

All appear somewhat rated

Oh yea, no doubt but better missing a few tackles when making 20+ than when making 14.
