I actually did not consider Guerra at all but I suppose he did play all three games last year and QLD like to show loyalty. Personally I wouldn't be picking him but its likely he'll be there. I suppose you need to include Gav Cooper in their considerations as well. Though personally I think Wallace or Sims offer more of what we are lacking (strong middle forward).
Yeah Guerra is horribly out of form but Kev, and Mal previously, have generally been loyal - I think this year there will be enough forced changes that Guerra will get the bench back rowers role just to add some stability / experience. Cooper and Lowe would both be in contention, as would Hess.
Just so I can have egg on my face later, here is my guess:
Lillyman (CS9 obv) Napa / Wallace
Gillett Thaiday
McGuire
Morgan
Wallace / Napa
Papa
Guerra

Thanks.
That is so hard but Sironen has potential to make more money. So bring in Tolman i guess.

It could definitely improve his scoring. More likely to break tackles and as mentioned Auva'a may not keep his spot.

Cotric is the safe bet as Hayne looks like he may be coming off the bench.

I always feel unnerved about giving someone like you who is ranked right up there advice!
Personally I think you need at least one of those two, and that being said, therefore need to make the trade this week. I would also run the punt on Crichton, purely for his bye potential. I understand Whitehead has the better job security, but his potential to end up at Centre is s bit of a negative so not all rosy with him, along with his bye schedule later on.
Thanks SI. Appreciate the feedback. Off to a great start this season with some lucky trades, could have been much higher had I not traded Vaughan out after round 1 rather than ET but hindsight provides 20/20 vision. Anyway, I have a feeling that byes will bring me back to the pack soon enough

wow haha.
As a Nonga (a non Ponga owner), I feel like he's going to bust a 70+ for sure.

Re Auva'a. Sure he will be dropped for French but before French even comes back Radradra has a court date in a couple of weeks and will likely cop a hefty suspension if found guilty

For those considering Hayne, Neil Henry indicating the plan is to bring him on around the 20 min mark and play out the rest of the game, possibly at centre.
Also in regards to the origin talk of Wallace, have we determined if he is a cane toad or a cockroach?
I heard it mentioned in here that he grew up in Sawtell. I realise that Sawtell is North of Bowraville, but is still in NSW?

I think this is pretty close to spot on.
Sidenote, just had a look at Lillymans stats, avg'ing 146m per game this year so far.

He is definitely a Qlder for origin purposes. Was part of the emerging squad earlier this/last year.
I keep also forgetting Kaufusi. He has really come along in the last few weeks and has been 18th man for QLD before. I think definitely have him earmarked for the future.

Putting the (C) on Ponga is definitely a ballsy move. So good luck with that.

Stop it. You're taking apart my Fantasy team one player at a time! No to Kaufusi please.

Hey guys, would you start Kelly or Talakai?

Rabbitohs: Adam Reynolds is out with a hip injury. John Sutton moves to five-eighth from the back row, with Cody Walker shifting to halfback. Kyle Turner moves from prop to the back row, with George Burgess coming into the starting side. Braidon Burns has been replaced by Hymel Hunt on the wing and rookie Cameron Murray is set to make his NRL debut from the interchange bench.
What does this mean for Crichton? Less mins?

Same choice for me too. I went Talakai as he's up against Moga which is a better prospect than Kelly up against Leipana.

Leaning towards Talakai as well, he has Hunt outside of him which might help his defense and general decision making.
Clutching at straws i know but i am not overly thrilled with either option.
