I've gone moyaln as a POD in my WFB.

He's a risk, but i see plenty of upside in him. Everyone forgets how good he was at FB for the panthers.

I will always love watching him play. One of my favourite forwards in the game.

He suffers from the "Hero" complex so badly, guess that comes from losing his dad so young. He looks out for his brothers and team.

Good luck Bennett trying to fight 30 years of nurture and biology

From memory, Surgess hasn't got into strife under Bennett for England, though no idea what his fantasy scores have been like.

Lot of Qs about Taumalolo but I really want to watch him running over halfbacks and scoring 30-point tries. Then going to the middle. Sensible thing would be wait and see, but finding it hard not to start with him.

Just thought I would post this in case it helps someone else. I was having trouble with my leagues not displaying when I clicked Leagues. Turns out all I needed was a hard refresh of Chrome.

mccuolough or friend

Flip a coin imo. Both priced the same. Both offer similar upside.

He's in my team.

He's lining up against 90kg centers and halves, not 110kg Props. WHEN he gets the ball, expect the line to bust.

I'm expecting him to be more valuable than last year. I have nothing statistical to back that up from, it's just a feeling I have.

I also wouldn't be surprised to see him rotate between the middle and edge. We know he can play 80 at lock

does siebold have an effect on mccuolough

That's Mr Bobblehead to you!

And yes I don't see any reason why not.

Just 13 tries last year - which I think could be replicated at the Eels

-- and a consistent metre eater and tackle breaker, a lot of which is from carting it back after kicks. These functions will not be reduced. I cannot afford Tedesco, but I can afford Ferguson and there is no reason to believe he will score any less this year. The man has matured and appears to be in much better regard than his old buddy Dugan

Macca doesn't have anyone who can really steal his minutes. Only Staggs is a possibility but not as much as Radley stealing Friend's minutes

Looks like Radley is considered more of a lock than a hooker at the moment. I wouldn't consider him a big threat to Friend's minutes

It's still a roll of the dice though. Yeah he may be considered a Lock, but nobody at the Broncos are a realistic chance of taking minutes from Macca

Greeny came out and said Tolo on the edge in the trial was pretty much to get his big guns out on the field to freshen up. He said Tolo has spent minimal time there through some training periods but has spent most his time in the middle. Plus also said he would be Morgo's protector but he was on TMM's edge in the trial. Personally, i dont see them benching a QLD second rower. Could see some time on the edge through injury/HIA, etc but I bank my house that he is named Lock for 25 rounds this year.

I'm interested in your thoughts

Back half of last year, Liu moved into second row and Radley got starting lock.

Friend averaged 75 minutes in these games. Up from 62 minutes in the first half of the year.

As a cowboys fan what I'm hoping for is for him to stay in the middle, but every so often get him involved in an edge play to mix it up.

Liu will be playing middle now won't he? With no Napa there?
