Not worried about Benny fucking a hooker?

There’s a lot of people saying this but they seem to forget who Bennett really is. Bennett is an egomaniac. He’s not going to destroy the best thing Souths have going, the thing is there’s really no way Cook can get any better so it’s just a matter of wanting him as a highly priced lock and load capt or trying to find value for your buck elsewhere.

Cook will be the top scoring hooker but you can argue that with 2 tough opening games, Gurgess suspended for the first 3 games he could start to lose cash straight away. Will the Souths pack dominate enough to get those quick play the balls for Cook to unleash. I reckon Surgess will fill in at prop for Gurgess but who in that pack gets the go forward Cook relies on once Surgess & Turgess are both off the field having a rest. He may not get those monster scores with limited attacking chances.

I assume everyone wants to finish with Cook, they are just planning to bring him in after a few weeks and (hopefully) a couple of price drops

Breaking news... Wighton “training the house down”.

Still waiting for the Granville story of how he’s looking to increase his minutes....

What they need to be worried about is increasing his impact. He had nothing last year.

Agreed. When i was searching for @Archer's new avatar I watched the highlights of that 2015 game. Pretty to watch him effortlessly cut through the middle. Haven't seen it in a long time.

Top shelf hooker as cheap as I can get. You assume right.

Is it possible with Thurston now retired and a world class forward pack he could be more free to take the line on? I know Thurston had the call and I watched him from about 20 metres away tear Granville apart for not passing him the ball at Suncorp one time. Maybe that’s more a hope than a question because he’s been non existent for the past 2 years.

Pretty sure he used to be quickest at the club over 20m. I don't know if he's lost a step but I was surprised to learn just now that he turns 30 next week. Back then also, James Tamou for all his good and bad, would often provide really quick play the balls. I've got NFI about how Green intends to use him this year but yeah without the GOAT and a monster pack you would hope he could find something.

First stab at a team after reading threads on here, good to be back for 2019!

McCullough
Tolman, Surgess
I Papali'i, Murray, Arrow
Morgan, Cleary
J Bateman, Capewell
C Allan, Lomax, Tedesco

Stimson, DBrown, Bird, Keighran

Egan, AHopoate, Ravalawa, Haas

$184K ITB but not sure who to upgrade, I can't find any more good value buys, advice would be appreciated.

Cheers

Hi all, after testing the app today for accessibility on my iPhone I have come to the conclusion that it is basically rooted. I would really appreciate any help that anyone could provide in here. If you can be bothered, please email fan hub and ask them to test the app using Apple's accessibility inspector so blind people can play the game on their phones using voice-over. The same goes for their website and anyone using a screen reader. At the moment I cannot select a player in my team unless I use auto select!!! On the app, I basically can't do anything because no elements are labelled correctly. Just given them a one star rating and a review on the Apple store as well. One star because I was able to login. LOL. #JusticeForBlindside #Accessibility

Does tariq step up and take Jdbs starting spot?

Other players I’d appreciate some opinions on

Hampton
Holland
Welch
