Reckon, Cronk, Moses, Cartwright and to a lesser extent Croker is overkill?

I’m liking Moses out of that lot. Crocker to sit outside 17. Cronk inclusion is a gut feeling.

Not over kill.

Most people if not all will have Cartwright and Croker in their team. A lot of people may run 1 of them as a starting half. I think most will have another 2 HLFs aside from them. So you are about on par.

I have Croft and Watson at the moment with Carty and Croker there.

Are all teams due at 4pm?
Trying to avoid NRL news till then to actually get some work done.

So funny. Identical to mine, but for Dufty/Jayne for Hiku/Calker.

We really need team lists to stop converging on one idea........

"Warriors will finish in the top eight"

Probably just Twitter shit, but there are rumours around that the Cowboys are moving Coote to the Titans to bring Carney in

Don't get me wrong I love Coote, but they have Gordon already. Also it means that the Cowboys would more likely move Morgan to FB with seems counter productive for his development.

^ If Carney does end up playing NRL early this season, will be really interesting to see what price he comes in at. And also how he's treated by the crowds.

Carney would spend some time in reserve grade though surely.

Still no Warriors team and I am about to leave the office and not be home for 60mins or so and now I'm going to have to deal with the fact that the first team list of the year will be released and I won't know who is in that team for like an hour and I don't know how I am going to deal with that I mean how do you deal with something like that I just don't know pull your head in ok

Maybe I'm just a loose unit, but I honestly can't really see much harm in what Carney did, apart from continually embarrassing himself.

Legit criminals like Lodge and Packer on the other hand.....the NRL sees no problem in giving a second chance...

Ligi Sao does not inspire confidence at lock.

I like Papali'i. Think he's grown immensely as a player since his inclusion last year.
Be interesting to see how many minutes he gets because the boy loves a tackle.

Ligi Sao? Who?
Papalii?
Did anyone watch any Warriors trials?

I would have thought Afoa at lock for sure. He played a bunch of 80 minute games last year

didn't papalii pop up a year or two ago with a starting backrow spot in round 1 and then disappear for the rest of the year?

interesting though.

Ipapalii.. never left my team last year. you could say I built my team around him

Papali'i was seen as a star of the future last year, guess they are happy with his development and are rewarding him with a start.
Can't believe he's still only 19.

Yeah, something like that. He's not bad though. Priced at 274K in the front row.

there is no way carney is being signed to be a top 17 player.
