Fitz is a good POD...less than 1% ownership

Starting he averages about 7 points above his average. Is anyone going to keep him out of the starting side. Better bet than Nathan Brown it seems?

C. Murray has a quad injury apparently & he isn't named in the squad. I don't like picking players carrying more than a niggling injury.

Fuck yeah Nicholls starting!

I thought it was hamstring. Hopefully not both haha.

He scored a tonne of tries last year. Think he'll keep that going?

Apparently quad not hamstring

I'm more excited by Doueihi.

With Reynolds made of glass he hopefully gets some good gametime

Just dont see him getting anywhere near the top 17 with Reynolds there.

If Murray does play round 1, will Surgess go to edge forward or starting prop?

Second row. Sutton is the big question mark.

The one game he scored two tries he only played 55 minutes. The rest are on par for a mobile 2nd rower. The interesting thing is the tackle breaks that he racked up. That is what is more interesting. Nathan Brown seems to have found his way into every team, however I think his 80 mnute games last year will not be the standard and he will eventually play around 65 and average what he is priced at.

I think Moeroa will play some time in the middle during games and Kenny Edwards will step up with bigger minutes. I have been looking for Nathan Brown alternatives as a POD. Every man and his dog has him but he does not necessarily have a guaranteed upside, even though he is a fantastic player.

Hey guys, 2nd hooker Koroisau or Lichaa?

Or would you go Milf in your 1/2s (Any1 else other than Croft)

*i will have K Nik in either the 1/2s or bench, depending on which way I go?

Storm squad named but not really worth posting, its as expectes with slater and vunuvalu rested

a) Reynolds often isn't there
b) initial interviews with the coach suggested he'd play one hooker with someone like Doueihi/Fui mono as utility. If he's changed his mind since then and wants to play both Farah and Cook in the 17, then everyone gets to rejig their team

Fair enough. A is the big thing here, yes he often isn't there, and when he is he's usually out of the game before half time.

Sea Eagles: 1. Tom Trbojevic, 2. Akuila Uate, 3. Matthew Wright, 4. Brian Kelly, 5. Jorge Taufua, 6. Lachlan Croker, 7. Daly Cherry-Evans, 8. Addin Fonua-Blake, 9. Apisai Koroisau, 10. Martin Taupau, 11. Curtis Sironen, 12. Joel Thompson, 13. Jake Trbojevic. Interchange: 14. Shaun Lane, 15. Jack Gosiewski, 16. Frank Winterstein, 17. Kelepi Tanginoa, 19. Manase Fainu.

Likely round 1 team?
Dylan Walker still a month or so away. Anyone else who could force their way into the team?

If that teamlist is any indication of how round 1 will go, AFB will be awesome.

Koro could be in for 80 assuming faimu drops off come nrl time? Barrett stated last weekend that this trial would be full strength(of course one of those forwards who miss out too)

my tv broke wrote:Koro could be in for 80 assuming faimu drops off come nrl time?

There was a rumour that Barrett wanted Koroisau to play 80 minutes so it sounds like that is the case. Mind you if he plays 80 minutes I can see him missing 10 tackles a game haha.
