Seeing reports that it will mean they need to drop 1 player from the team.

Theyve been trying to move on Ava Seumanaetc to England. Id say if that goes through then theyd be fine.

Apparently the Dragons are chasing Kasiano ( headline on Fox League ) to get them by while they are without De Belin.

Lil Brailey also being poached by a number of teams but Sharks are trying to offer him a contract to stay.

Wonder if that means removing Seggy or any other players

They'll have to shed a player to get under the cap for this year

Teeth Eater wrote:Bit late to the party on this one, but I was just reading through the trial stats from Milchy, which I am most grateful for - thank you, sir - and I know you can’t read anything into trial stats, but one thing that stood out for me was Dylan Edward’s 8. Just wondering what the cause for this was. Did he only play really limited minutes, or was he just rubbish?

Thanks again for those stats. They could play a big part in finalising some of my selections after this weekend.

Don't know his minutes, but I'd expect half a game or so would have been played.

He got 0 Tackle Breaks.
Last year he averaged 5.6 TBs a game
2017 he averaged 5.9

He's never played 80 minutes with less than 2 TBs in his career.

Whilst low scores are a possibility for anyone, I wouldn't worry too much about him getting 8 in a proper 80 minute first grade game without injury. When playing 80 minutes he has only scored under 30 once in 22 games.

Whats the consensus on DEdwards. He will definitely be in my team, he is a real excitement on the field, but do we think he can push his average above 50?

I like Arrow to start now, no 80 min hooker so either Brimson/Peats will always be on bench, with James to an edge with no match fitness, Boyd an under 40 min prop, 19 year old reserve prop, max king coming back from injury etc can see Arrow going hard in the middle for 65 mins at least.

Tapine is very much hot and cold, but is a round 12 target of mine. Needs 80 mins on an edge to match his average so comes with risk.

Yeah I think arrow is the go. Thanks

Tapine is def a risk, but I just can’t shake the gut feeling he guns it this year.

Currently in my team. I think most of his points come from run meters,lbs and tbs coming out of his own end. Not much in the way of attacking stats in the red zone however.

Looking a bit more at rts now. Maybe he will feature more in attack now that SJ is gone with a rookie halfback? Need to watch the trial for that and to see how Burr is used. Hopefully I get the time

Bored at work and made a team haha

Macca
Vaughan, Surgess
Arrow, Matterson, Murray
Morgan, Brown
Holland, Nikora
Teddy, Watson, Edwards

Mahoney, Stimson, Burr, 212k
212k x4

Obviously has a lot of cheapies which I guess means I'll have the ones that hit.
But definitely feels like the money should be spread around more

Thoughts guys?

Todays train of thought is that I want to bypass M Morgan

The only differences between my team and this is Surgess, Teddy and 212 on bench to Taupau, CNK and L Leilua for my team. Have Keighran starting though but will rotate with fixtures with D Brown

Quite like it LB. Running cheap in the halves but general thought is Morgan should hit 50, Brown also looked pretty good and averaged 100 run metres per game in ISP so shouldnt be a dud. I personally would have Keighran in there, will see more ball as a half at NZ than Brown will as a 6 at Eels, plus should have GK duties. Holland if GK is a set and forget. WFB is STRONG! Your top 6 are STRONG - minus a few ? around Matto. Bench is pretty good, im looking at running something similar with Stimson in my 13. Definitely would just leave that until TLT and maybe tinker a few things.

I have looked at RTS a few times but i am really nervous in picking any warriors this year. No SJ to steer them around, lost over 300 games in Manners and only just snuck into the 8 last year.

I know, she left me roses by the stairs.

My team has exactly $0 left so I've cracked the code.

Cook
Taupau, LAM
Arrow, Murray, Sironen
Cleary, Brown
Holland, Nikora
Drinkwater, Edwards, CNK

Mahoney, Stimson, Sele, Burr
Keighran, Hopoate, Xerri, Allan

I'd assume they can't upgrade him too much if a) they have to shed a player immediately and b) have cap penalties for the next couple of years.
