    Good point Milchy. Manly dropped Myles for a period of time when he was on 600k. Money doesn't guarantee you a spot on the team and Cook is better than Farah

    Is it really a good point or just the wishful thinking of a fantasy player??? Cooks style is almost the exact replica of Granville which basically means he either has to change his style or not play 80. I wish he would play 80 as well it’s just unrealistic though, Farah is still a great player and Souths desperately need an old head like him on the field. And money talks.... don’t be fooled, the only thing greater than money in nrl is politics. Manly dropped Myles yes and in the same minute started shopping him around to get their money back. Farah and Taylor couldn’t get along, Farah left and Taylor lost his job it wasn’t because Farah was not playing well at the time he was still by far and away the tigers best player a completely different scenario to Big Head (Myles).

    I'm thinking Campbell Graham makes the wing, Richie Kennar plays at centre and Fuimaono is the 14. I remember Robert Jennings being very average defensively last year, particularly when I sat right next to his wing when he let 4 tries in from Uate in a 46-8 demolition

    His actual words were "In an ideal world we’re looking to play one hooker". My take away is that it wont happen to start the year but we'll see

    I think even if they did in rd.1, there's always the risk that it's only temporary and rd 2 Farah gets named on the bench....too much of a risk for me. Lichaa on the other hand is a touch more appealing

    I’m thinking Hymel has the running when fully fit.... which hasn’t been too often.

    Yeah looking back at the match reports, Hymel came back from injury for the injured Robert Jennings and then was dropped for Aaron Gray in Round 23. Fuimaono and Graham kept their spots

    He will be in everyone’s IF he gets 80..... my point is it’s more wishful thinking than reality.

    Re the Souths 3 quarter line someone posted on sc addicts the other day that they were training as follows:
    AJ, Gagai, Graham, Kennar

    But they also said GI was running at ctr as well.

    H. Hunt wasn't even mentioned but the chat was about whether Graham & Kennar were too inexperienced as a combination.

    I think they'll be fine with the experience of Inglis and Gagai. You can't have a completely experienced backline

    If that’s the case Souths should just throw in the towel now and save their fans the pain. It’s soooooo well documented and proven that they’re marshmallows out wide and Hymel was the only pepper in amongst it. Hope you’re right for fantasy sakes. My bro (die hard Souths fan) won’t be lol.

    Agreed, I will be so surprised if Kennar makes the cut mr under 10 syndrome.
