That's a 29.5 avg? Nothing compared to his potential scores getting a good run there

The indigenous squad needs a new fullback now

Yeah someone just pointed that out on the Cowboys stampede.

Hampton and his Hooker DPP doesn't really help but if he is FB I'll be grabbing him as well! Can get him in CTR which is nice, chances they swap his Hooker designation to WFB if named to start there? Or is that too complicated for them?

I think there’s no chance of that now because of people probably already have put him in that position Silly I know! But I can’t see them changing it after release

Mulvy I know you’re NQ fan mate and this must suck but it’s pretty amazing of the team to rake action like this also so quickly it happened 4 days ago

Did he ? His last few games at FB may be, but at the start of the year 1 ?

Agree mate, like I said I know nothing about it, but obviously the Cowboys do and I'm (I was looking for an adjective but wasn't really happy with any of them) happy/proud/satisfied with their course of action. I'm pretty gutted though. He's really fucked us.

So I was high on Surgess until it finally hit me that Bennett might tell him to hold his offloads. I've got a good gut feeling about big sammy this year though

I know everyone is scared of the whole Barba gone thing and morgo being out of everyone’s mind but he will still be running behind that massive pack and could be involved even more. If anything he becomes even more pivotal.

Same for me mate, Sam in my current team

In 12 games where he played 80 minutes he did ok, but scored 8 tries to get there.

Last 2 rounds, 2 tries in each game for 51 and 46 points in each game. It is Bevan French like.

Hampton 12 games playing 80 at FB and CTR

average 41

most of the bigger consistent scores coming at CTR mind

Hampton has a TB ability French doesn't have for fantasy. Almost 5 a game, that's impressive

If we're talking Tackle Busts, surely Tuala should be in for a good year if he pips a centre spot. What a unit he is

Brennan was quoted this week saying AJ Brimson would play in the halves - which would suggest Gordon at FB.

But Ash Taylor with Jacks/Roberts in the halves, and Brimson at fullback makes more sense for the Titans, so who knows.

Hey mate, I've not really done any numbers on Tuala. I was massively wanting him to get a debut after his awesome ISP form last year, and when he did, I thought he was good but not great, like it's a big step up to first grade. He probably deserves a crack in the centres but do you have some information on him? you mentioned tackle busts? I like tackle busts.

Showed some potential but only small sample size for his scoring 28 avg for 8 games playing 80

Hampton has a lot of value if he can get a long term starting role

Happy new year everyone,first post for the year and this is the team I’ve thrown together. Needs a lot of work I’d say but here goes:

82k bank

McCullough
Ofa Tolman
Murray Gillett Sorenson
Morgan Munster
Capewell Lomax
Teddy RTS Fergie

DBrown
CHT
Stimson
Egan
Napa
Salmon
Haas
Garrick

Any thoughts are welcome. Good to be back for another year lads!

Agreed. There's value because, he's actually good at football.
