Will cause a reshuffle for most you would think.

I'm convinced that after becoming anti-vax, next he'll be a flat-earther.
This will increase his confidence and speed as he won't be running up-hill 40mins per game.

If Radley gets Lock he might be an option to replace Mahoney
Still faces rotation but only 11k more and is HOK/2RF DPP

Otherwise the rest of the options at HOK besides Egan are pretty bad and you'd be left running with one HOK

Interesting tweet here from Gould, suggests that Isiah Yeo is now more of a middle forward than an edge?

Tyrell is now becoming a backrower/centre rather than a centre/backrower. Same goes for Isaah. He’s made his way from backrower/centre to backrower/middle, to now being more a middle/backrower. Isaah is very versatile and very resilient.

Would BA play Luke for 80 mins though?

The more I think about it, the more I think Luke isn't going anywhere.
It feels like his agent is trying to get some of that Shaun Johnson cap money onto Luke's contract.
Rightly so and sounds like he's doing a good job of it.

$50k extra on top of $150k for Luke? I would've knocked that back too if I were in the position knowing that other clubs would potentially double that.

Luke stays at the Warriors for $300-350k for the season with a 1 year extension in the Warriors favour.

Warriors might have a Hooking option available for you, they have a high opinion of Roach so he might get the thumbs up

Rennings purchased by wt to play centre.

Bit cheaper than the other middies (watson/drinkwater)

Any stats on him?

I am highly considering him.

At his best, he is Rapana-esque. Can easily get 6-7 TBs a game and he loves a dummy-half run. Last season the injury set him back a lot but if he has a couple of strong trial games I am keen on him.

Fui to start at 2RF?? Base price, available at centre. Jump on boys!

Haha, also liked this quote from renegades regarding Watson:

"2. Value: This is where it starts to get difficult. If he was $100k cheaper (priced at a 34-35 average) l‘d be all over him like measles on Bryce Cartwright’s unvaccinated child, but at $601k he really is awkwardly priced. Watson is priced at an average of 40.3 base....."

Yeah it's a good point but I reckon Radley goes about 8 above his price, not quite keeper and not quite making enough cash. Could be wrong though. Great player.

Had a great 2017 season, average of 43

Got injured and hasn't been the same in 2018 with an average of 33

Has the potential to bounce back to 2017 numbers

Further on Mansour. When Moylan was there Mansour use to get plenty of run metres because Moylan use to give the ball to Mansour to return it instead of running it back himself because he's a pussy & was scared of getting smashed. With Edwards now the f/b he's not scared to run it back.

JKust another random point.

A lot of people are waiting for TLT to "confirm" things before finalising their team

Last year in round 1 there were
4 starters in jerseys 14-17
2 starters in jerseys 18-21
5 interchange players named in numbers 18-21

8 players named in jerseys 1-13 who started on the bench
4 players named in jerseys 1-13 who didn't play at all.

Will be fun come TLT trying to decide who is going to miss out this year

Well that's comforting Milchy

Some taking points coming out of the NRL app!
- Moses Suli has shed ANOTHER 12kg in the space of 12 months. The kid must be solid, surely he has a spot on the team. Stats gurus where you at for this one?
- Seebs, Payne won’t be walking back into the team. Could suggest longer than a 4 week layoff.

If Luke goes, which I think he will (where theres smoke theres usually fire) I think Tevaga starts at hooker for 30 mins, and then when Burr goes off at the 30 min mark Tevaga will slot back into lock with Roache to slot into hooker.

Not sure whether Roache goes off around 60-65 minute mark but hes a more explosive type, not going to play big minutes. Tevaga will play 65+ minutes so may get a rest around the 50-55 minute mark before coming back on for Roache.

Sorry just had a thought - if Luke is on 150K, Million Dollar Man SJ is gone, Manners retired surely they have some big money? All that money can’t be tied up in Harris, RTs and Green. Half the team plays for peanuts because they are all local home grown. Correct me if I’m wrong but do NZ have a stash of cash laying around?
