I missed that post as well from KFP. Honestly I can't recall any offensive post that KFP made. Anyway it's all good & it's good to have him back.

Anyone know what Fonua's scores were like at the Storm? i seem to remember him being a decent scorer, but i don't trust my memory as far as i can throw it.

avg of around 21 in 2014 and 2015... had a couple big scores, but also a few doozies... I'm sure @Milchcow can dig up some more in depth stats

cheers Milchy, so potentially worth a look as a cashie if he finds himself at centre then...

Here's a team to show what is possible with the budget of 9.4mil

CS9, Garvey
J Graham, M Lodge, SKasiano
Crichton, Cmurray, Cartwright, Butcher, Rookie
JT, Watson, Cleeland
TTurbo, Whare, Rookie
Teddy, Ponga, GI, Rookie, Rookie

24k ITB

Looks like we can fit a few more guns in

*Notice that I included Cam Murray

Hes got Cam Murray sic 'em welshy!

Can you get Tommy T in the centres?

Excellent I hate that position!

Ahh fiddlesticks

In any case, it feels like there is a bit more space in the cap. I'm not sure what to do with the Ctrs yet....

Running off Cronk all year

Hmmm I hadn't considered the impact of Cronk on Maubbs

We'll have to tell @SI about this...

I think Nofo could be in for a big year.  Not a bad price for a punt.  Guy is a gun when fit.

Anyone think Tolo will have a much quieter year?  I think his minutes will get rotated and cut a lot of the time through the regular season.  Don't see them using him as much as they did this year, especailly with a full forward pack.

I'm looking at Lowe again.  Was almost back to his gun status and the end of the season and should be back in a lock at 80 on the edge.

Here's something I just threw together:

CS9, Garvey
Liu, Ese'ese, Lodge
N. Brown, Eisenhuth, C. Murray, Arrow, Gosiewski
Moses, Watson, Cleeland/Croker/Hastings
Tom Wright, Milne, Opacic
Tedesco, T-Trbo, Ponga, 212k, 212k

A few people picking Watson?

Personally I don't see the attraction

New club, wants to prove he's an 80 minute player & determined to make his mark. He's also very talented & quick. A bit of a punt but with the new fantasy format it will require a few punts. He's also a dpp hok/hlf which is handy.

Agree with Nofoaluma & also with Tedesco gone he could be the attacking go-to man
I also think Taumalolo won't be as busy with the addition of M. Scott & McLean competing with minutes in the middle. In 2017 with Scott out Taumalolo was often doing 2 hit ups in 1 set. He would take the 1st hit up as the yardage man in the prop role & then the 3rd or 4th hit up in the lock role. It was noticeable that when he had his spell during games no one else could provide the same go forward & opposition teams got back into the game.
You could be right re Lowe. He's pretty consistent with a low error rate but with JT back then Lowe might be starved of attacking ball due to the JT/Cooper combo.
