In 2018,
he averaged 38.9 in seven 50+ minute games and
35.1 in 40+ minute games

In 2017,
he averaged 42.6 in five 50+ minute games and
39.23 in 40+ minute games

In 2016,
he averaged 43 in five 40+ minute games

In 2015,
he averaged 37 in eight 40+ minute games

BE of 32 so I'm interested if he starts at lock. An option come TLT if Stimson doesn't start for sure

Mums the word on him

Not worried he gets benched after a couple of games? The Herminator was great last year when starting.

Yeah, couple of teams like the knights like to play around with their forwards. And if the knights dont start strongly, some early changes would be likely.

Nah.  I have followed the sharks since I was a kid.  He was a good footballer, hardly anyone has heard of him.

Only vaguely rang bell so I googled it, haha!

I got crickets when I mentioned him.

If Stimson's benching is an indication of round 1 teams, then Sironen might be shot to get a lot more popular

I think once hunt or moga is good to go matautia (dont know how to spell it) should move back to second row

I had a look into glasby earlier today. Last year he averaged something like 1.2 missed tackles a game. 0.1 errors a game. 89mg a game. He is pretty safe in D and won’t get you too many errors. He is more of a prop playing lock though so won’t get you to much ball playing, just a hard runner and tackler

Many people swapped from KBrom to Kaufusi (or ran both) on the evidence of trials.
That might be the undoing of Stimson this year. If he's going to be in and out of starting team, then have to avoid him.

Hunt named in the trial, I guess we'll see about Moga.

Are people seriously considering Sironen? Might as well run with Lewis Brown

Sironen was super hard to own in 2017, but if i recall correctly, holding onto him paid off in the end? Don't know if I really want to go through that again. Although two years on, he ~should~ be a better player..

Is he the new Moeora..?

I guess there's decent coin to be made if he holds a starting spot. Big if for me though.

Sell me on Radley please.

His main risk for minutes is Liu, who is a slug (who could play more front row from the middles) and Radley bound to take his opportunity. He’s never really been in this spot of a starting number being his to lose

He was great in 2017, reliable cash flow from him, and Frankenstein wasn't half bad either I recall. Definitely not a Lewis Brown, scores the odd double here and there when Manly and Cherry are firing, I'll avoid him this year though, not as cheap as he was in 2017

Got a couple names to throw up. Jack hetherington looks like he might start the first few rounds. and it doesnt look like the dragons will be playing JDB so leilua could loom as a good option.

Hetherington was straight in for me after seeing that team list. I'll keep him there unless TLT dishes up something new. Not sure Leilua gets the start though after Korbin started at lock for the last trial. Then again though Frizell didn't play. I'd love it if Leilua got the gig instead though, he went mental with big minutes on an edge last year

Yeah, read an article saying he was more likely for starting 2nd Row this year, not sure how official said article was though.

On a related note, how hilarious was it seeing Maubbs do a reverse Maubbs and play 80 at Second Row when he was in the 3 jersey.

I originally had radley in my team. But as of late i have been a bit hesitant on him. BE 34 may only score 40. not worth it unless he scores 45 which i dont see as very likely

Hetherington had a shocking suspension/judiciary record last year so there is the possibility of 1 week suspension even with minor incident with loading for similar incidents + carryover points. But he is cheap...

Like the look of L Leilua

Yeah that's the thing. When I owned him last time he was priced at like 25 or 27 or something. Less upside priced at 31. And coming back from ACL. But there are times when I watch him and think, he's finally coming good..... Decent in attack, but there are times when watching in defence he never comes in to help, always staying in his lane. Could be lazy or just what he's told to do, either way annoying for fantasy.
