    I was surprsied too when JBrom came back on in the first half, that seemed weird.  And yeah, 12 interchanges.  Definitely hard to read at the moment.

    We may get a better read on NAS next week playing the Cowboys with their pack. To me, NAS realised in the latter half of last
    season what his size, strength and aggression could produce at this level. He appears to have taken that on board and is looking
    ferocious this first game out as well. If he can get another 10 to 15 minutes game time he may be worth it in my opinion.

    Yep, put me down in this column, croft struck me as a natural talent from the little i saw of him, was always in my team

    Too many handling errors at midfield as well!
    Wait, are you actually a leeds fan or is it just because they are closer to the great brain drain (aka wales) than storm?

    Sims and Friz both capable of 80 and both probably fighting for that role, my guess with Mary that is will vary from game to game

    Friz when he plays 80 averages around 54, so great value there if he nails it down
    Welshy assuming a scrub like friz gets the extra minutes... cyclops

    like it mate, plenty of potential value there but I don't like the Hayne pick at all, he was shit last year and can't see him going back to the old plane in the CTR spot

    RFM I don't think you can go wrong with if named to start TLT, new regime and already pegged as a starting backrower, has big money making and scoring potential for so cheap

    Understand bud. Hayne not exciting me but his price is nice.

    Prefer Dugan but something’s gotta give. Ultimately want a gun WFB/CTR because I’m taking risks there outside of Ted and ponga

    I haven't crunched the numbers but you must be close to be being able to go Rapa + Inglis over Teddy + Hayne. Although I'm not sure one is safer than the other.

    The NRL has informed clubs of a rule change for the 2018 Telstra Premiership, making alterations to the one-on-one strip.

    At Tuesday’s chief executive conference at Rugby League Central, the clubs were informed of the alteration that could have an impact on defensive strategies heading into the new season.

    Previously players were penalised for stripping the ball in a one-on-one situation if another defender had made any contact in the tackle leading up to the ball being raked.

    However, under the new rule, the players can strip the ball in a one-on-one situation regardless of previous contact made by teammates

    Any thoughts on Murray&Napa vs McQueen&JBrom? Admittedly all 4 would be good.

    Team Stats, Melbourne got 396 kick metres, 9 errors, and 8 penalties conceded. Split them up however you want

    hmm munster one tackle? haha don't think thats correct.

    i liked what brandon smith offered when he came on, think we'll see the storm do that a fair bit this year with camsmith staying on the field

    Android app now working. Is there seriously no way to look up players without deleting one of your own?

    TA's and LBA's would make a fair difference, especially Croft

    thanks milch, much appreciatied.

    just looking at jbroms score, it would fall to 35 or so without the try,3 tbs an lb in that one play. he definitely looked busier last night. maybe in a more trying match his tackle count would go up.

    tossing up between croft and thurston at this point. would love to squeeze both in somehow
