Oh really?! Thanks that helps if true, does anyone remember the specifics?

Why have I got CNK? Watched the trial vs Bulldogs and barely touched the ball in the scoring highlights. Anyone know his fantasy score in that game?

He was very solid in that trial. Took a lot of strong carries out of their end, broke a couple of tackles and a line break too if I'm not mistaken.

Is Burr worth a punt on the bench to start round 1 over a Keighran/Brown or is this classic Warriors where they start a cheapie for 15mins round 1 and then they disappear.
Kinda hoping he scores well for a couple weeks then a few more weeks on the bench gives you a nice little earner to start the year..Not alot of options at base price other than Host/Sele etc
He did look good in the trials I have to admit. Tackled everything
As someone mentioned earlier, Keighran at home is probably the calculated gamble over brown, but Burr could be worth a shot in the 17 perhaps.. Thoughts?
I’ve got the same dilemma. I’m going to play Keighran. He kicks, runs, tackles and kicks goals. Brown will take a back seat to Moses I reckon. I’m playing Sivo over Ravalawa. Last reserve comes down to Burr or Brown. Fucked if I know

It was fake news?
In any case, it's not stopping me from starting with Macca and Gillett anyway.

Sorry, is this a hypothetical or a rumour?
Roosters signed Craig Garvey so it might be him, or they could switch Radley.

But he did make 29 runs from dummy half which is quite impressive. He's a very busy player, tries to get involved as much as possible, excellent under the high ball.

Short term Radley, but longer term Craig Garvey week probably be given a go
That's alright. Might be different and run with Friend/Radley and see how it pans out

Someone pointed out the stats that hookers do just as well against Melbourne as any other team if that helps at all.Mulvy wrote:Macca or Kapow for Captain?
As Welshy suggested in the PODcast (great stuff btw) An 80 minute guy could be better in the opening rounds while the big boys get up to speed. But looking at that Manly side, how does Kapow not get 60 minutes? My other concern with Macca is the Storm spreading it from side to side.
Thoughts?

My personal opinion is they will both score the same so it doesn't matter.
You are probably right. Friend with a 50 in the WCC but Macca 41 in 48 minutes in the last trial. 40 tackles, solid.

I'll say this about Lachlan Burr, I picked a Warriors player with the starting Lock position by the name of John Palavi in 2014. Big dud. Once bitten, twice shy for me.

Just on the CNK chat - that's why I have him. He is a busy bee hungry for work. Plenty of scoots. No Rapana helps as well

I concur. If Friend needs a spell for whatever reason, then Radley will slot into hooker, but I don't think it will be part f the regular planning
