Good news for the hardcore, means many players we are against are locking in 4-6 players who don’t play the first bye round!

Unless JMK is not on the bench, making Holland the back up hooker (and starting center), not worth considering.

Oh really?!? Tell me more

StormTrooper96 wrote:Who is everyone’s staples so far? So pretty much players who haven’t left your team 1-17 with the 2 million iterations.
For me it’s probably
TPJ, Murray, Stimson, Morgan, Capewell, Drinkwater/Hughes

Only staples for me so far have been round 12 keepers & rookies

Edwards
Brown
Murray
Tolman
Clifford/Morgan

Outside of that Cook or Smith have been in every team and Macca at #14 in nearly iteration

Raiders name B side, Eels name A team minus a few that are in rep sides... biggest things to note... CNK in B side, Eels haven't included Sivo at all. Anyone know why? Was really hoping he would be a bolter to make the first TLT.

I'd say because Sivo is a pipe dream with Hoffman and Gennings definitely ahead, also a chance Bevan French

Just on the “b side” I think you’ll find a lot of teams use first trial, as an actual trial.

CNK and Allen for me fall firmly in that bracket of players they want to have a look at. Here’s hoping for decent matches from them both!

The 14th of February marks a very important day on the calendar.
It is exactly 1 month until the NRL Season starts. Bring it on!!!

Trials are to have a look at the up and comers, blokes that need a run and borderline players. There’s no A and B. I’d you look through all the trial teams, you’ll find first grade starters. It gets serious in 2 weeks.

Big day for many!

Missus mentioned “Valentines Day on Thursday”

Asked who trained it and where it was running

Blokes like CNK are a must in all the trials. New club, new combos.

Let’s hope the combo with Sam Williams and Havili isn’t too good! Leave them to Brad abbey

Yeah rabs is right. That's not the "b" raiders side. It's lacking a lot of the obvious picks, but blokes in there aren't ruled out of the starting 17 come Rd 1.

Thoughts on Blayke Brailey? Worth having as bench option?

Always hard to pick an Eel but interested on peoples thoughts on potential upside for Gutho at 477k

Seeing unconfirmed reports...

Wayne Bennett is set to make his first signing as head coach of the South Sydney Rabbitohs.

The North Queensland Cowboys are set to release Ethan Lowe with him taking up a deal with Bennetts Bunnies from 2019 onwards.

Thinking about ignoring the 2RF value and just start with Arrow, Murray and TPJ. Think they are all slightly undervalued and saves trades as they should be season keepers.
At hooker I have Hodgson and FAC. This means I'll be running with 3 cows in my 17 but ATM I think I'm happy to risk that to get 14 solid scoring players that don't have to be traded from the get go. (bring on the injuries)

I can't see the big upside in Hodgson, his fantasy best is like 48? I'd rather Friend

Player swap?

Please be Corey Allan. Please, please.
