The credit for that goes to Filth, which is why I included him in the above gag.

He posted it in the team name puns thread

I'm surprised no one picked it up as a team name, I thought it was one of the better options up for grabs!

Have an upvote. I'd already given one to Cookie.

On that pack, I'm seeing Packer and Matulino not playing big minutes.
Do we see the new kid get more than 20-30mins? Looks like Twal could be the big minute front rower to benefit here.

I reckon Tapine guns it this year, but can’t decide if the risk of starting with him is worth it. Produced some huge scores at end of season last year which makes me think he might not necessarily be a value pick. But don’t want to waste a trade. Only benefit of holding off is I get a look to see how the two poms will affect his minutes on other hand. No one around the $750 mark jumping out as a major immision.
Thoughts anyone?

Certainly looks that way. We were hoping to see him at lock but it may not matter.

Twal, very interesting. 39 in 36 minutes last year. Loves a TB. How many minutes does he get?

I caved yesterday. It's the new "not having Smith" feeling.... for which I caved in about a week ago.

Started my team with Macca, eventually upgraded to Cook. Going well this year so far!

Looking at that pack, I'm seeing 40 mininum. Maybe 55 max?

I think Tapine is definitely prepped for a big year and I'm not sure the new recruits will impact his time at all, what I'd be more concerned about is Tapine himself. Big year won't matter for much if he keeps visiting the judiciary for his frequent customer stamp.

He has some of the softest suspensions last year. And seems to be smarter now. I’m not as worried about it

I agree in that I think he guns it this year. I would love him in my team but just no way I can afford him with the other costly guns I want. If you've got a spare 750k to be throwing at a 2rf I think you could do a lot worse.

If you do squeeze him in your team ill be very jealous.

Then he could make an ok cut price keeper. I guess the thing is most see so much value elsewhere, but as you said if your gut says you might want him in your final team and it saves you a trade then that's less important.

Hahaha, LAM bench!

Crap there goes Ah Mau Looking like a straight swap to Twal for very similar reasons as I initially had LAM
