yeah, i posted something similar yesterday (that he could become a 400k player). he's probably a bit overpriced to take the risk on him though.

Matt Parcell - Is he pretty much guaranteed a spot now with Hodges gone for the season and Buhrer out for the first month?

Hearing Barrett is a massive fan of Parcell, expected him to get a run regardless as he is faster out of dummy half then Hodges.

Parcell was already ahead of Hodges, his injury doesn't effect Manly's round 1 lineup.
Buhrer is unlikely to play hooker this year too. It will be Parcell/Koro sharing duties.

They'll probably start with Chase Stanley in the centres.

Won't be long before he is injured again no doubt, poor bugger.

Buhrer injury makes Brown a nice option in the centres for me. Originally had Lawrence, but would be happy to negate his injury risk (picked up a corked hip or something in the nines yesterday, total glass man). But I just gotta have me a 2nd rower in the centre position!

hows the timing of this given the talk of parcell above:
The start to the NRL season has been rocked by yet another pre-season scandal with Manly star recruit Apisai Koroisau charged with illegally entering a property in Sydney's eastern suburbs.
The Manly Sea Eagles hooker allegedly entered a Bondi property without the consent of the owners at 9.30pm on December 20.
Koroisau's matter was mentioned briefly before Waverley Local Court on January 25 but he did not make an appearance. He is due before Waverley Local Court on February 17.
He is formally charged with entering inclosed land at Chambers Avenue without a lawful excuse.
The NRL Integrity Unit is aware of the matter.

As far as cash cows go its going to be hard to pass up Parcell, but if I do go him will have to lock in Smith! Does allow me to fit a few more mid rangers FRF/2RF I hope will improve eg. Cartwright, SST, Rochow, Tapine, JDB, LAM, Vaughan, Trbjovic.

You joke, but we have been through this. If Aubusson is named in the second row on TLT, he will be in my team. There is enough depth in mid range and rookie centres this year to cover his possible flop, and the upside of having an extra gun scoring 50's from the back, for however many weeks Cordner is out, is too tasty for me to pass up.

Can someone remind me why Tapine is a mid-range cash-cow please?
Just looking at Tapine vs Paasi

I agree as SST needs to be used as a middle forward with JWH injured and being the best lock, I can't see them not having Aubo in to replace cordner, especially with an inexperienced halves pairing you will need a guy with a cool head out there I reckon. Locked in to my Centres if hes named at 2nd row. Far better option than Lewis Brown (not sure of minutes at Manly) and Lawrence is so injury prone

That sounds like the same kind of logic that everyone who has picked him in the past has used.

Just looking at Tapine vs Paasi
Tariq Sims is suspended for the first 5 rounds.
Tapine played 65+ minutes twice last year for scores of 51 and 65. He is priced at an average of 30.
if Tapine gets Tariq's starting spot, the odds look quite good of him scorign well and making cash.
Against him is the fact that he is being linked with Canberra, and Nathan brown has threatened to play him in reserve grade if he signs there.
Paasi also priced at a 30 average.
He finished last year with scores of 37, 57, 50 in 3 80 minute games.
he needs to keep playing 80 minutes (or close to it) in order to be value. If Taia and McQueen start ahead of him I would avoid.

Thanks! Appreciate the rundown! Tapine looks more promising if he secures the spot
