Rippin and Tearin wrote:Hey guys, Fotuaika was a kid who was really impressive last year when he got the minutes - any chance his minutes step up enough to make him an option this year? What are your thoughts on how the middle rotation works for the Titans this year? Cheers.

L-Jimmy wrote:Any thoughts on Christian Welch? Could pick up a few of Glasby's minutes, and has scored well with a longer run. At 416 he needs to score high-30s to get value, which is about 40-50 minutes on the park at his historical PPM.

White Lightning wrote:The Raiders opening draw is very nice & picking a couple of Raiders could be the go. Hodgson could be a good hooker choice especially since the Raiders play the first bye. With Wighton training at 6 it could also mean Hodgson takes on more of a play making role & stays on the field for 80 mins. He's also a very attacking hooker so the early draw will suit his playing style.
Based on the above statements on the Broncos then McCullough could be in for 80 mins. The Broncos have a very tough opening draw so that suits McCullough who will make 50 tackles a game. However the Broncos have a bye in round 12.
Based on the fact that Hodgson is 52k cheaper & he plays the first bye I might start with Hodgson as my main hooker.

Priced around 28 would be a decent middy option if he can keep up those scores. Without JT I think cows might go through more of a running game rather than kicking game this year so could be good for the outside backs.

Ive never been keen on picking a middy in the ctr position. Some of those 212k players could just score aswell.
I think if you gonna spend cash on this position go a keeper or stick with rookies.

In saying that though if Capewell lines up next to SJ then that middy is in my team

Yeah Garrick another one, haven't heard much on him yet as to the way he plays. I was told some time ago by someone that it was a fight between Garrick and Tavita Funa for that spot but looks as though Garrick has it sewed up. Also Bronson Xerri surely due for a debut sooner rather than later.
