HomeSuli has been on the injury list for a while without much detail around what the actual problem is. I wonder if that was related. Will be a bit suspicious if he goes straight into the dogs team from our injury list
No Worries might know more.

Suli came back to training 19kg's over weight at the Tigers. I have no idea why the Bulldogs would want him.

Apparently Suli was tipping the scales at 130kg. I know the Raiders have a fat camp but Suli needs a to be in the obese camp.

I think I might take a punt for Croft regardless of the risks of rotation because I can't see him being rotated until at least after 6-7 games & if he is killing it on the field & the Storm are clicking then why would there be the need to change a winning combination. A lot of coaches say things prior to the season that they don't follow through on.

For those interested and or sceptical of Aitken, I read an article that he had an epidural in the off season, which is an injection in the spine to address the neural link between back tightness and hamstring strains. I highly doubt he'll be getting injured this year

You know I was just thinking the same thing. He was locked into my team until this business about the rotation. Think I'll just monitor the situation for now and see how the trials go.

Well given Croft is priced at an average of 38, and his lowest score (from admittedly just 4 games) is 41
It seems a pretty low risk pick assuming he keeps the starting spot.

Not even Daryl Hall would pick Corey Oates

How have the Dogs been able to sign and re-sign players this off season when they could barely register Woods and Foran even after releasing Graham?
Question on why so many have N Brown this year? Didnt he peak when playing 80min but at the back end and through finals when Parra had Scott Moeroa back from injury his minuets drop? I cant see him playing 80 unless there are mid game injuries. From what BA has said the bench will have Taka as utility and 3 forwards, no hooker, he expects either King or Pritchard to play 80min

Priced at 51 averaged 58 when starting lock (20 games incl finals)
NBrown been locked into my team since end of last season
in 11 games, where Brown stared lock with Scott on interchange, Brown averaged 56 points and 70 minutes

There's a rumour going around on Facebook that Luke keary broke his jaw at training and is out for the first few rounds. Does this open any doors for players worth considering?

One of the rare players who doesn't always need the big minutes either
his low score last year was 41, his base stats are fantastic as well mate when starting...averaged 38 tackles and 165 RM

Fun fact, if you actually take out the games starting at lock when he DID play 80 he actually scored avg 60 in 68 minutes

Got some mongrel in him for sure
