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

Holds a fair amount of utility value, has been his problem in the past! Just needs that long term 80 min back role

My brother and I used to lament that Hampton wasn't a dummy half, had ordinary defence and couldn't pass right. But he's tried his guts out in any position he's be given and improved. Last year when given a chance in the outside backs, I had no idea he was so quick. It honestly blew me away! He should get a good run now and I'm interested.

TPJ average when playing over 50 minutes 50.7

Surely he is going 60 under Seibold

Pangai is gonna be the fkn man this season

I don't think it's as easy as that. Offa has a big motor, I'm told he would often play 80 at prop at the lower levels (someone in the know to comment please). I reckon TPJ could too. I don't think anyone will really know anytime soon because Seibold is still considering his options.

I think so mate, his dual is making him even more enticing.

He can score 60 in 30 minutes but the more time he has on the park the more it will lead to a better more consistent average

How do you see the forward rotation going? minutes wise?

Both in for big seasons after losing Mcguire I reckon, both potentially could be logging around 55/60 minutes, so both should improve on last years average I think mate

Ofa averages 51 when playing over 50 minutes as well (11 games last year)

Hard to judge at the moment, but just cant see TPJ playing less than 50.

He appears to be over the injury troubles he had last season. Prior to returning to pre season he spent a couple of weeks training in the states. I know thats a "training the house down" thing to say, but hes been putting in the work

Hmm I’m actually thinking about having them both in my team now

I was too. Wait, we're talking about your avatar right? Mmm, they're in my team.....

Both have great potential. Explosive fantasy vs Grind fantasy.

Oh and you could say that about TPJ and Ofa too

shit aye. at first i was sold on cook, but now i feel like i can get a lot more decent players picking a cheaper hooker. at this point the only way i fit stimson in my side is by down grading cook

i have cartwright in my team rn and if he is selected come tlt i will probs stick with cook, otherwise ill downgrade to macca and pick up stimson i reckon

Trust your gut my young Padawan. Everyone will want Cook. Starting with him is up for debate. Captain choices etc etc, something, something, dark side.....

Does anybody else feel dirty starting Jack Bird in their centres?

Not at his price vs score potential

Maybe it's the Broncos fan in me digging his heels. I really hope he has a better year now that he isn't coming off injury

I really don't think I can take you seriously. I mean, that avatar, I'm like MTB knows his shit, but then I'm torn thinking maybe I'm the shitface one. Oh wait, I am!

I was actually happy with my team then had to do a full reshuffle because of Barba now I cant remember what it used to look like haha.

I have exactly $0 so im taking that as a good sign
