Have you decided on which nuff mate? Doing my head in.

Pearce looking good for the eun home and garunteed kick metre points. Toss a coin but if ARey stays fit he shouldn't slow down.

Well as a placeholder to see what kind of cash I had i threw in Molo. The way I see it if the Cowboys get an injury or they decide to go with young blokes like Green said they might, he might get more minutes, but he was just one of the first guys I saw at 212. Let me know who you go with because I am in your boat, maybe one of the Canberra rookies?

Yes Isaako's a FB and Broncos view him as their long term guy, but I wouldn't expect him to go gangbusters all of a sudden. Probably a better chance now of scoring big, but no doubt he will take a few weeks to warm to the task.

What do we expect from the Broncos this week anyway? If its anything like Sunday, then whoever plays FB isn't gonna score well

Abbey looked good before the head clash, and should hold a spot (good and bad). TWright seems a gun in the making. BFrench has some proven Fantasy chops. Or the Buhrer if you are feeling pro-risk / pro-masochism?




Me, I'm trying to figure out who'll I'll play out of Staggs, Tuala and Mann. Probably Mann, but none are filling me with joy.

Just reading on NRL.com late mail that Coote has been named for both NQ and Mackay which could mean Clifford gets a run.

Im tempted to take a punt on him. Molo was one I was looking at too though. I don't think Wright will stay around when Walker is back.

We need a 212K player mate. Cheers I like the look of Abbey at that price too though. I just don't see Wright fitting in long term. I could be wrong.

Mann should start for McDonald too.

Are people trading Isaako because of his 14 last week? The Broncos got absolutely pumped. So unless you think they are gone for the year or you are bringing in someone like Hopper, then I can't help but feel it's a knee jerk.

His 3 Round average prior was 41/42 without any tries. That's pretty handy if he is in your Centres. 5 Round average the same after he gobbled up a couple of meaty's. Trades are at a premium now. Pretty much any other Centre could get you the same average. I get he has had a few dud scores but that's #centrelife

Obviously with the apparent move to number 1 there will be a few less trade outs now but personally I don't get it.

Also, now I've written this he will probably score a 4 this weekend...

Clifford sounds like the best prospect. Hopefully I will never have to use him as I have cover for all the backline positions and hooker already in my EMGs (Brimson is a lifesaver here) and still have 6 trades after these 2.

If you have 6 trades afterwards, go for it. I'll have 4 but will have a strong 17 and someone like MItchell or Marsters as 18th man once Ponga is back.

Coote being named in both sides must say something you would think.

Clifford not even in the 19 man Cutters squad. Don't know where his usual position is though and not sure who the backup FB normally is.

Clifford has played in the halves all season in Q CUP

Halfback for the QLD u20s as well the other week.

Sua out. Surgess in. Farah (C) down to 3 trades.

So is this encouraging for him to play first grade this week?

Don't have him but there's talk on nrlsctalk that Isaako will be playing fullback with Boyd to go into centre.

lol, sorry I have no idea.

It seems he will be playing NRL, but who knows whether that is in a starting half position, or from the bench. I don't understand giving a young half a debut off the bench though. To me, they should start the game to give htem a chance to wokr their way into it. But I'm also not an NRL coach.

Fox Sports posted this:

The Courier Mail is reporting young gun playmaker Jake Clifford could make his NRL debut. Clifford hasn’t been named for his Queensland Cup side this week, while Lachlan Coote has been named by the Mackay Cutters, indicating he could be axed to make way for Clifford.

With Coote being named twice, seems like he will play FB.

It's confirmed on the Broncos website now yeah. I'm wondering myself if Isaako picks up some kick metres as a result as well

Who would you play - Turbo or Cotric

Cheers.
