Well if Cartwright starts in 2RF, but Ryan James isn't named and is expected to return shortly, then I'd probably pass. If it looks like he is there on his own merits, then I'll probably grab him

If Carty is named then Im all in. He needs some positive energy sent his way

William Hopoate has spent the summer training at centre, opening the door for @NRL_Bulldogs rising recruit Nick Meaney to start the season at fullback. Plus, why Hopoate is blown away by Meaney’s speed. @telegraph_sport. #nrl

What’s hopo like at CTR?

Can meany make cash then.

He believes positive energy combats Polio.

What's the go with all this Vaughen love? If JDB is out why does he become more relevant than he is currently?

This is my top heavy side
Macca
Fifita taupau
Matterson arrow Murray
Morgan brown
Nikora bird
Edwards chk hopoate or another check

Tolman Gillette mahouney keigrham
4 x cheapies

For me it's more the way he killed it in the trial.

Hopo scores pretty much the same in the CTRS to FB, might even have a higher average there! Good solid option!

DT reports -
napa will be free to play. Will cop heavy fine.
NRL set to stand down JDB indefinitely whilst trial continues
Scott Bolton is likely to miss 6 weeks

If I were you I would get rid of Tolman for Hethrighton (If he is named at edge spot for the panthers). Then upgrade either your centres or your wfb. Feel as though its more of a balanced team. Anyway up to you.

Fantasy or real life! He’s been pretty good since he started slowly after his Mormon mission!

Averaged 38 at Centre in that 42.3 overall average. It was his two massive games at Fullback (96 and 84) that dragged his average over his Centre average.

I'm going to wait until he announces he's a flat earther as well as an anti vaxxer. If he thinks the world is flat, then he might stop playing like he's constantly running uphill....

Fantasy.

I had him last season as a POD when he was playing FB and he was fairly good for me. His scores are better at FB iirc.

it will foverer bug me way too much that the team player portraits are set up inside a circular border, only for the portraits themselves to have half the arms of the players cropped out to be shaped like a rectangle.

I hadn't noticed, but now it's going to bug the shit out of me as well
