No Mark Nicholls TA for his offload to Douehi, not sure I trust those stats for the Rabbitohs game

Appreciate this completel defeats the purpose of your hypothetical but how/why on earth would you ever be in that spot? It’s pre-season. Unlimited changes no must have players or teams

Being a Broncos fan, their game is the only game I am guaranteed to watch every week, so I like to have a Broncos half in my fantasy team so can enjoy the game a bit more following their plays etc. Have had a broncos half for last three years. Not too bothered if they aren't the absolute best pick, can't go too far wrong.

I'd go K-Nik then. I'm actually trying to find a way to fit him into my team. I think I read somewhere that he averages quite high when he starts with Milford in the halves.

After watching the mighty Bulldogs I thought RFM was quiet as the play never really went to his side. I thought Fualalo went much better than him mainly due to him being a middle player but he did plenty of hit ups & worked hard on defense. If Fualalo starts at lock he'll come in for RFM.

Any news on Arrow, starting over Carty?

Who are the under priced 2nd rows, outside Carty,Murray ?

Nicholls looked good imo. Has to be a chance of good mins in rnd 1

@Goondalf

He is someone who I've thought about, yet to check prices though. Could be good for 45ish every week.

Who’s kicking goals at the roosters?

Mitchell or SST?

need to look at his minutes in the trials to see where hes at

Looks like the trials highlighted a few players of interest so far...
I've put Croft in my 17
Pencilled in LLeilua, Kikau, and Fualalo
Keeping an eye on JJ as well

Plenty of 2nd rowers to go around
Looking forward to teamlists to finalise the team

Yeah he was very good. Best forward along with Turgess. Im thinking hard about Turgess actually.

Cook playing around 50mins, will be gold if he gets the 80 gig.

Done the same, or they were there already.

How did Nofo go in that Tigs game?

The rise of Taumalolo might have something to do with his decrease in minutes over the years? Plus Asiata etc coming through too

I think Matt Scott is the type of player who can give you 55 one week, and 35 the next. For me, that's too volatile for a FRF

Thanks Milchcow and Chucky.

Think Milne and Nofa got spots locked in and hence allowing them to start on the bench and Marsters/Kevin to compete for the other centre spot and MWZ and thompson to compete for the other wing spot (with Fonua still in consideration)

The majority of the attack went down his side, but I don't think he even played 40 minutes and that would have been mostly second half I think. He wasn't on when they went down the right for most of the 1st half (I don't think). I didn't notice him much but in fairness I wasn't looking for him. I think you can expect the same same this year as the last couple mate.

Low line they were updated overnight, there area a few additions.

But when the season starts, remember that the game does not care if you trust the stats or not, they count the same either way.

someone mentioned him a few pages back, but AFB is suddenly on my mind with the Lussick injury. I would back him for 40 if he starts (which he now should), priced at 30. You would think he has to get big minutes by virtue of the fact that other than Taupau, Manly prop stocks are looking mighty thin (even before the Lussick injury!). Better value than most in FRF IMO.

Also, noticed Croft's ownership went from 10% before the WCC to 20% today.
