Who is this in regards to Rabs?

Stimson

If he plays 80 he scores 40+ and makes $175,000. Minimum.

I'll take that

You don't have to sell me. Along as he's named edge TLT.  Then again Bellamy just as likely to put him at 18 and shift him in later. Khunt. (I don't like how Munster was likely to play and then missed like four weeks!)

No attack base is obviously a concern, especially as to having no TB's and LB's to speak of. But he's never had a proper go there and it's the Storm. He's going to get put through gaps, and score tries. That fact that he's priced without them is a positive imo, not a negative.

Haha. Showbags was late to join L51 last season as well. Maybe some Hired Goons need to be sent to expedite the situation

Sportal definitely 100% didn't hit 10 Leagues of 16

We did have one year where we had 12 team Leagues, potentially the first year that FanHub took over (2014)?  Which meant we got to an L9 or maybe L10, but not with 16 in each, only 12.  Of course once first lock out came FanHub decided they weren't going to list 12 man teams on the official ranking list (even though it was an option before Lockout) so as a result, we weren't on the Site Rankings list that whole season  

I'm pretty sure I listed where we are at on Sportal the first year here so might go have a looksee tomorrow.  What I can say is that we have NEVER had 160 in the Leagues  

We may have got to 144, but I think it was 128.

Don't we have 51 leagues?

Can someone fill me in on Hetherington as a FRF option? I must have missed something as he's coming up in quite a few of the rate my team threads. Imagine its related to players being stood down with regards to all  the tapes going around???

EDIT: Also Paulo? Not sure where the attraction is there either?

No back up hooker?

No not in this version.

I’m think Roache in the 17-20, he will be there at some stage.

I have a feeling he'll be like Havili this year. Ideally we'll need Egan not on the bench but not sure how the Panthers bench will line up

Hetherington is the assumed replacement for the injured Kikau.
Not sure he'll have enough time to make worthwhile money, but he's a popular short term option

Like this, the way things are going

Lot of talk about Panthers wanting an 80 minute hooker, he won’t need 80 to make cash, 60/65 should see him go around 35-45 I reckon

I had a bit more of a look at LAM yesterday. He does indeed average well when his minutes are up.
But most of his big scores came with really big minutes, pushing up to 60 or more.
I'm sure he is capable of playing more, but based on Warriors history of prop rotation just not sure he's going to get that game time regularly.

I've been talking him up & imo he's a much better option than Stimson/L. Leilua & others around that price & he's locked in for 80 minutes. The 1st Manly trial they looked to play open attacking footy with plenty of offloads to keep the ball alive. This suits Sironen plus I think Sironen will take over where Lane left off i.e. Sironen running holes off DCE & Sironen scored a good try doing just this in that trial. The only problem I see picking him is that last year he did his acl & there was previous talk on here re medical experts saying it takes about a year to fully get over an acl & players usyually come right in the 2nd year back but this is Sironen's 1st year back. However that try he scored in the trial he seemed to have no problems at all & he looks super fit as do the rest of the team (a lot looked leaner too like Jurbo, Taupau, Sironen) so obviously Des has been thrashing them in pre season.

I have Katoa (Panthers hooker) in my reserves. As mentioned Cleary snr wants an 80 min hooker but he also wants 1 of Katoa or Egan to play 80 mins
Atm Katoa seems to be in front of Egan which is a shame because Egan is much cheaper & would of given me extra cash to utilise.

Welshy wrote:Is Katoa worth a punt for Panthers, going 60/65?

It all depends who gets the 14. I won't be touching him if Egan is on the bench.

Cleary is just as likely to play one of them for two weeks and then the other for two weeks if last year is anything to go by.

Ah Krumpet! Nice.  I'll be able to tell you and Stuffness apart at least.

Mahoney's obviously a given, then Cook & Smith are clear guns - Cook I can see is too expensive but everyone going Fifita over Smith in same price bracket. Then I see more upside in McCullough and Friend than eg. Arrow or Matterson.

 Have 4 if I can count Radley
