Looks like we are off to a good start

Good stuff!

Last year he was similar to James Graham in that link role-would pass before the line a lot and so not getting as many TBs and offloads. Either way if those stats don't continue i think you want him with the potential for 80.

Does anyone have that link to Mary supposedly saying he could have played 80 if it was closer?

Mary did say that in the press conference, he could have easily played JDB for 80 but wanted to give him a spell and get Host on the field for some experience and game time

I got off Barnett an hour out with the whole Buhrer moving into the middle to defend thing in the trials. Ah well. Picked him up in Ultimate though.

I didn't think he would play more than 60 so was a risk...played 69 and went off with a head knock didn't he? Could be a good sign he plays 70 and the prop rotations loses 10

I was thinking Randell would sneak into the 17, but when he dropped off the bench yeah, that was the other reason. If you didn't see it, he got laid out in the first 10 minutes and probably a broken nose and still produced those numbers!

Hey fellas, is there another site that lists minutes played? NRLStats.com seem to have dropped the ball these days.

Edit: appears that www.fanleague.com.au has them, nice work

Don't know if i like the new format with the - .
Noticed the small scores from last round below, not the best format for seeing how last week performed.

Appreciate the JDB answers lads.

whats Talakai's job security like? i'm considering downgrading elgey to a NPR and upgrading Phy to talakai.
too sideways? my centres are all cheapies atm (moga, idris, suli, kelly)

Currently have guys like Yates, Jacks, Talakai, Jelly, Cotric, Idris, Suli.
Is Moga really needed as well or should I look at a Saifiti replacement

Courier Mail reported that Moga left training early with a heart related condition

Definitely look at a Saifiti replacement.

Pythian to a missed cash cow will be popular. I will go to suli because I have all the others. 42K in the bank was much needed here.

Then will probably go Prior to Wallace (based purely on Prior getting 42 mins and Wallace should play 50+ mins every week - hoping for consistent 40s with the odd 45+). Will ride him to J Bromwich for the next month.

Other than the top 3/4 guns looks like props will struggle to get over 40 points consistently. Big gap between Fifita, James, Graham, Bromwich, McGuire and the rest. You probably need two of these guys after a month into the season.

Apparently Hayne was fined a 5 figure sum by the leadership group for a poor attitude to training.

With the Inglis injury it got better.

It sounds like Proctor may miss some football which will be good for Wallace. The titans really scrapping the bottom of the barrel for depth.

I'm still hesitant. I just can't work out what their planned rotations were. Wallace off at 22 and back at 32 to play out the game, but Proctor didn't return after half time. Who slotted into his position? And will Greenwood build into the starting lock position?

Haha disclaimer (I am in 4 of those)

Thoughts on JBrom to Talakai (via DPPs) and Moeroa to JDB?

Would like to just hold JBrom, but I'm already behind points wise and need a solid scorer

Early mail saying J Bromwich may only miss 2 - 3 weeks.

Mannering cleared of serious injury.

I'm in an exact same situation.

Jayne is still a fairy, carrying on every time he got tackled, he got his money and seems not interested in having a crack at the Titans
