    Cook Lichaa Nicholls + 5 NPR's. Probably Leilua, Thompson, Doueihi, Milne and 1 other. Think LCroker is a big trap personally. Tanginoa or Kikau could surprise. Havilli could be in contention.

    Struggling with value or round 13 players I am leaving out - Sriffin, AFB, TPJ, NAS, Alvaro, JBrom, RRochow, RFM, Murray, NBrown.

    Would Murray + Rochow be a better option than Merrin + NPR?

    Hard to tell really. If Rochow and Curray are named to start it would be prett hard to leave them out.

    Prediction:

    Kennar will go huge in Rd1 sucking everyone in and then be shit/dropped going forward.

    There is one base price CTR not being thrown around in chat, and he has traveled to Perth with the Warriors.
    Expect The man of the People to be named in Kearney's 21 man squad, with a good chance of replacing Kata

    I am, as a tiebreaker between two keeper picks (it got Taupau over the line for me).

    Probably just my bias but I think I'm going to go Moses instead of Lichaa( already have Cook) crazy I know as Moses could score 60+ or 20+ whereas Lichaa should be consistently 45+. Should I just put my bias to the side or go with my heart?

    Agree with the Crocker comments. Im not keen on him either. Knights have come out and said they gonna target him defensively. If he is struggling dont be surprised to see him hooked and siro move to 6. He's been training there quite a bit. Makes me want to start with DCE.

    Are you going to run with a reserve hlf in your squad if you are playing carty as a starting half?

    You just have to make sacrifices somewhere and take punts. I think a lot will have like me, Croft/Carty with Croker as the emergency. Again, sacrificing other positions to get two gun halves just doesn't seem worth it.

    Yeah, he's traveled. Unsure if he only made squad in place of Mannering as cover though.

    I've had Teddy, Ponga & Mitchell locked in as 3 of my back 5 for ages - i'm thinking of running BJ as my second centre and taking a punt on Katoa or Kennar in the last WFB spot.

    They want his experience, but he still has a few kinks at NRL level which showed in the Titans trial. But only game time would iron those out. And Kata really isnt much better.

    I mentioned him as a option instead of Hiku but general consensus is that he's no good and obviously injuries affect him more and more.

    Better option out of TPJ or Griffin? I'd like to have both, but if i did I'd have to cut one of Merrin, Whitehead or Murray (who i also want - damn all this 2rf value)

    Gelling is 280k not base.

    Having watched him in ESL, he's a batshit player. Will break five tackles then throw the ball twenty yards into touch when he could fall over the line... which I suppose is OK for fantasy (until he gets dropped).

    I will have Doueihi as a backup and role the dice on CWalker and Cartwright not getting injured, a bench role for Doueihi will probably score more than Croker. And at least he has job security and is next cab of the ranks for goal kicking etc.

    http://www.sportingnews.com/au/league/news/nrl-fixtures-wests-tigers-david-nofoaluma-ivan-cleary-corey-thompson-and-malakai-watene-zelezniak-tui-lolohea/yzlmai4nq4hwz8bypqpghbhu

    It now appears that Corey Thompson and Malakai Watene-Zelezniak will play as wingers, while Tui Lolohea will take the number one jersey.

    I'm guessing that's just speculation from the sites point of view, but who knows.
