Ideally under $600k total.....

Probably looking at Whare and Hiku wouldn't you dependent on who gets a starting gig obviously.

Or you could go like Coote and Kennar if he gets a gig.

id probably take a punt on katoa or isaako over those two (if they get the wing spot). both tackle busting players in good sides (ie should pick up some tries)

Katoa looks like a good option indeed, forgot about him. Shame he's not DPP. How likely is Isaako to getting a full time gig?

Dugan and Tapine

or

Mbye/Mitchell and Whitehead

it depends alot on whether oates stays in the forwards.

boyd kahu roberts are locked in, then bird will be back in round 4 or 5. so to start the year there is a centre spot open for a few weeks, and possibly a permanent wing position. if oates isnt wing then its probably isaako or pearson. they seem to love isaako tho (i like the look of him too). all that said, he may average 15 if he gets the gig.

broncos have put up a full replay of the trial from the weekend if anyone wants a look. isaako played fb.

Oates is too fucking soft for the forwards.

Im 6k short of Dugan and Whitehead, which is my preference. But not sure where to make up that money.

Have

Smith
Jbrom Lodge
Harris, Murray, Tapine
Cronk, Croft
Crocker, Milne
Ponga, Dugan Katoa

Mcqueen, Carty, Cook, Arrow

LLeilua
Havili
Garvey
Croker

49k ITB.

I understand that there are plenty of weaknesses, but for all the players I would drop, I'm not confident with anyone cheaper, or I like them in that position.

Dce anyone? Found some 2016 stats on him before green arrived and they weren't as good as I remember

Arrow out 2-3 weeks with broken ribs. Should be ok for R1

i went cold on him as well. 2016 they were just terrible in general, no?

if manly are winning games i reckon DCE is probably scoring well

hmmmm thats going to be a tight turnaround and probably means playing with pain? hmmmmmmm.

this is pretty scary for perrett, do recall seeing something at the time but more detail here - https://www.foxsports.com.au/nrl/nrl-premiership/i-thought-i-would-die-manly-forward-lloyd-perrett-reveals-lifethreatening-seizure/news-story/8ff474327c7863b0da0fdb4e6aba5938

If cook does have the hooker spot locked for 80, would he be a better value buy than lichaa?

Tempted to have both on the bench but wanting to keep a DDP FRF/2RF cover in my 17.

Just reading a Panthers forum about Cartwright. Seems he came back to pre season unfit & over weight & expected to be in the starting 13 without working for it. I've read other things about him & he seems a real dick head with a poor attitude. The more I think about him & his attitude I actually think he's not going to score very well in fantasy & will be a bench regular for the Titans. I actually think if Arrow is fit then he'll start at lock & Cartwright will come off the bench.

Ive gone with Carty in the starting halves pos after his GC move and it opened a lot more options up. So you can do that drop Cronk and youll find the 6k easy

Cook at 80 mins is 60+ scores on the fantasy menu

On the other hand.... Carty had a crappy time... I think the change to the Titans will do him good.
A clean slate...

Could juat be salty fans or could be true. Either way, is the move away the "turning point" in his career and more importantly personal life.. guess we'll have to wait and see.

Milchy dont be surprised if Tracey gets the nod ahead of him, could go either way
