What's the plan for if you cop a 1-2 week suspension?

You're going to have trouble in any argument if you can't understand where the other side is coming from, mate.

• Way less cheapies than most are expecting with coaches defaulting to veteran talent
  
• Will Smith named in 18 gives Mahoney owners a scare.
  
• Atleast 1 positional reshuffle that no one saw coming. Think something like Moylan 6 Johnson 1
  
• Extended benches giving second thoughts over previous locked in players like Capewell

I think i might remember him playing lock once or twice (perhaps as a late start there) but i don't ever remember him playing back row.

Nah, I've never understood where the Welsh or Kiwis are coming from and I win every argument i ever have with them.

White Lightning wrote:Yes MS I'm into the 2nd stage of fantasy meltdown:
stage 1 - go into the season with a core group of players I think are must haves. I fit them all into my team & I'm stoked.
stage 2 - start to doubt everyone in my team & conclude my team is shit/why did I pick them & I'll start the season regretting all my 50/50 calls.

When starting Lock and playing over 50 mins (13 times), he averages 49.3 at 59 minutes/game only scoring 2 tries. When playing over 60 mins (11 times), very similar at a 49.5 average. He has the locking role for now but he is very interesting, could go to a new level if he makes that spot his own and possibly push into the 50's.

Twal on the other hand BE 38. When playing off the bench and over 35 minutes (16 times) he averages 43.68 in 40.88 minutes per game with 0 tries!!! most impressively is when he got 79 in 39 minutes (7Tb's and 204 metres). Not sure which games he came on at prop and which were lock but man that is impressive!!

Didnt even realise ET was lock this weekend! Waste of talent with Huth and Twal on the pine, ET is a little past it isnt he?

Expecting it to be like most seasons that lots of random cashies appear round 1. They also tend to be high risk options though as they are often dropped again by round 4 - think Bunnies backs and Warriors forwards.

Would love Will Smith named in 14. Help keep Mahoney ownership low as long as possible, so most miss him.

I think I would take Mahoney anyway. Smith wouldn't pinch too many minutes. Mahoney just needs to play big minutes, not necessarily 80.

Might end up with Ravalawa, Lomax, Frizzy, Leilua and Vaughn in my team

Not politically correct and very discrimatory, maybe it needs to be...

Article re Broncos Pack. What i take from it -

Gillett is playing lock this weekend to get some contact into him and his hands on the ball more. Will spend some time at 2RF towards the end of the game. S'ua likely to be spending more time in the middle off the bench. Loves Fifita. Praised him for his work last year and in the all-star game. Said he doesn't care about his age just wants him playing footy and made a good point that last year he spent his pre-season with souths-logan so this is his first pre season with the full squad. Looks to be between Gillett, Fifita, TPJ and Glenn for 11,12,13 jerseys.
