    Do you think Liddle has a chance to making the starting site later in the season?

    I think the Tigers hope so. But if he fails he won't be the first guy with longterm hooker hopes at the Tigers to nout fulfil potential.

    At the moment he is recovering from surgery and no guarantee to be fit enough for round 1 though.

    It's taken me all day, on and off, but I'm finally up to date on the thread. A few weeks post-NFL glory and I'm ready to sink my teeth into another season of NRL.

    FWIW I agree with WL regarding the Warriors and the wooden spoon. I picked them for it last year and if it wasn't for some even more abysmal teams they would have earned it. Can't see much changing this year, the team culture is broken and making them a Kiwis Probables side isn't going to fix it. Bet half the team are glad to be away from Kidwell though

    NBrown and Hiku are actually in my full draft team currently too. NBrown is not a 100% lock in for me yet due to being my 2RF Gun and keeping my options open. Hiku is there for now, as a locked in starting spot for the Warriors should see him make good cash.

    Harris I have thought about, but have also thought about him being the only Warrior (bar Mannering) arriving first thing to training day after day while the other boys turn up midday with Wendys and wondering what a huge mistake he's made. We have a habit of breaking strong signings, I hope I can be proven wrong.

    Fonua had a great year but stepping up to a different level obviously. I personally think he and Thomson will have to wait.

    Unless they are training the house down of course, Cleary for me will still stick with Naiqama and give him some extra attention in the pre-season. Marsters can count himself unlucky but I also reckon he gets a shot before Fonua.

    You have Rowdy not starting Milch? I think it would be the right move as well but doubt it will happen. ET will slot in to Lock surely? Eisenhuth on the bench.

    Have loved watching the wrecking ball since he first came on the scene. Case of the dropsies, commitment to weight management, high knees and off-field focus have always been troubles of his. I realise this is in jest but if he can manage these things and is putting in the pre-season training he can be an absolute weapon. Very hard for me to keep him out of my team (considering it's 'Always put a Koni on') even at his price. One I'm definitely still mulving over Surprised

    Eisenhuth was great after moving to lock at the end of last year. Surely they won't move him.
    I love Lawrence, but his best days are behind him.
