You didn't think verbal was captaining Isaako because he thought he was the best option did you?

Who is likely to get more minutes?

The better question is who gets more points. Minutes plays a role in that of course. Capewell from memory has played a number of games starting 2rf where he didn't play 80 (~60) and Nikora is new so may not play the full 80 either. Bench make up on TLT may help a little, but probably not because extended benches make it hard to predict, although at least they play early in the round which helps. But back to my points about points, I'd have Holland over Capewell because I think he'll get more points. Nikora's a given too as a starting 2rf (hopefully) at base price available at centre.

TL,DR No idea.

Maloney pulls off a try save without any help then gets 10 minutes in the sin bin for not releasing in time, then takes 2 minutes to get off the field. I really hope this is not the norm because the NRL introduced a rule where sin binned players must jog off the field to the nearest exit as soon as the ref indicates sin bin.

I'd like to see players get 10min base + 5x the time it takes them to get to the sideline added on. They'd be sprinting off right after infringing.

Option A - Cook Crichton 212k wfb (22k left)
Option B - macca matterson - Watson (29k left)

i am really torn as i think cook and crichton loose early cash but they will be in my end team and it saves trades. I like the look of macca but am unsure how matterson will go with his new coach and Head Injuries this year so he could lose cash. With option B it leaves me with a more solid team but I don't see watson playing FB long because KP and him will switch.
Any opinions would be awesome.
Cheers,

Totally agree with this.

No mercy should be shown to binned players who are "injured" either. 5x the time it takes to get them off the field.

Can't say for sure on that, but can pretty much guarantee Capewell will have more minutes at Center, as soon as Dugan or Moylan go down, he slots straight in there.

If he does it'll only be to finish that game though.Two out of Katoa, Gray, Feki and Xerri will be playing reserve grade so would be able to slot in the next week.

Not just injuries. In the era of hias he could be there for a spell more often then not

Anyone know how close we are to a L10?

Like 60% full

Six places to fill, so there will probably be a League 11

I guess that's possible but I don't see why that should be any more of a worry with him than anyone else?

Plus If bukuya is their bench option maybe he may slots into the CTR role as fresh legs on the field!

What do you think about Isaako this year?

Aren't Tanginoa and Paseka ruled out for R1, that's the whole appeal about Taupau isn't it

Also with no mention about Brimson being injured, surely he doesn't start the year in reserve grade

Great captain option

Ah Kenty's back!

Baloo wrote:What do you think about Isaako this year?

I think he will step it up with this year, and would be an auto pick if he played FB. I also think its likely that he will benefit from those backline plays like RJennings did under Seibold.

But its hard fitting him in at the moment. If I can find a way to upgrade CNK to him on TLT that would be great.

Also, is Allan or Burns more likely to be cut when Inglis comes back?

Is Katoa (HOK) an option? If Egan isn't on the bench and Cleary Sr wants an 80min HOK he could be a great 14-17.

10 min sin bin. Should be a 10 metre march for any delay or added time. That will mean any sin bin within the final minutes of the game can still adversely affect their team if they muck around
