    Interseting point I want to throw here is that on 360, on the ask Kenty section, a question was who is the frontrunner for the NSW hooker role. He said Api, quite confidently. Not sure what he has to go on or if it's just his opinion, but interesting.

Seems good for 45, and though not a keeper in the halves he probably is at WFB.
    Allows me a bit more time to monitor the field so I don't jump on a Pearce or an Arey too early, and that stalling is the biggest luxury that he brings.

    My other option would be to bring in JMK.
    Anybody think its too late? The doggies havn't been winning but he has been playing well enough.
    Though that could have been said for Frawley.
    Does leave me with 450k to turn two middies straight into a Fifita + Gallen combo next week, which would be nice

    Townsend going well but probably a trade out later for elite tier half Gun? Plays 13

    My opinion on Koro is his stats are all over the place and last 3 scores are a realistic average which means he's virtually priced at his real average. Not for me at that price

    He is interesting, i really don't know what to make of him. Priced at 41, he has had a 38 and 33, and a 48 that included a try to save it. Balance that with a 49 and 58 on mostly based stats.
    Hard to get a read on but definitely could be worth a gamble. And handy that he plays 13 as you said

    those panthers outside backs look horrendous with mansour the only established name. maybe whare sees more ball as opposed to yeo?

    and any teams that picked up gjennings must be stoked, likely to play another 3 weeks till hayne returns

    Without knowing anything about the incident, I can almost guarantee it will be adjourned. His solicitor will want to see the case against him so they will call for a brief of evidence and probably won’t even enter a plea. Bloody horseshit if you ask me. Either you’re guilty or you aren’t.

    Could be a go but why not wait till he put's up a big score to kick start things, he still has a BE of 33 so no hurry.
    Unless you are trying to offload a player in your team, I reckon sit tight on him

    Though I am of the old school that tend to wait on these things haha, probably why I always start the season slow

    Same position for me. In 1 trade I can go to 763k or I can go higher and get SJ with 2 trades. If I only do 1 trade I’m thinking Munster might be first choice, maybe Hunt. I’d really like Doueihi to start again.

    How fucking fiery has 360 been the last couple of weeks! Did you see him and Hooper go at it last week?

    Cheers mate, Storm only averaging 17 points a game with 3/4 of that coming in 2 games 

    Smithy looks over the injury and can't see them losing 3 in a row so expecting a backlash this weekend! May just roll the dice but I already seem to be doing a fair bit of that already lol

    fantasy wise I think Cook should not be considered. (yeah I own him so leave him alone)
    Reckon he might be capable of doing the job for the Blues though.

    Mcinnes you would think would be in with a shot too, defensively sound and that helps at origin level.
    Cook/Koro would be more exciting and spark the attack but all depends on what he wants from them.
    As long as the Dragons chug along then he would be definitely in consideration

    I mentioned in the last thread (before all the articles came out) that it felt like Smith was throwing Croft under the bus and that he wanted him gone.
    There were rumors pre season about them falling out and perhaps they were on the mark, maybe he wanted Jacks all along.
    While I am sure his intention wasn't to lose these games, when you are starving croft off possession and doing it all yourself it becomes a bit easy to shutdown

    Will be interesting to see how they go this week but I predict a big game from the Storm

    Any Parra fans (or anyone else for that matter) like to weigh in on the pack minutes for this week. New faces in new positions. Need one of these guys for my moneyball team, but don't know which one.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    I realise Scott is scoring less than Isaako but just on paper at least looks much stronger for my side to have Scott there with the equally unimpressive Inglis lol

    I think Scott and Chambers (when he returns) will starts going well again as the Storm fix the obvious half issues
