With Ford named to start he probably averages more for 80k less, I had Nicholls originally but with Stone, Nicholls, Jwal, and even Ese'Ese... probs best to stay away from Dolphins forwards to start the season.

He was always going to be on the wing, the only threat to him is Taane Milne but he could always move to the middle as he did in the World Cup.

Yea was expected mate, he won the spot last year prior to injury and it should be his spot to lose this year - i think he is an out an out winger.

He was one of my first picked and hasnt left

Feels like it’s $500k too easy to make a team

Yeah definitely an abundance of options this year.

Are Manly missing anyone that would take Keppie's spot? Lawton maybe the only one I can think of, but that feels like a long-shot?

A 302k starting lock just seems too good to pass up otherwise, even if I don't fully trust it.

Well Carty is in my team, Hasnt had much of a chance to play big minutes with the new offload scoring yet has he??? hehe

The fact I’ve got Holmes in my current team would agree with that. Ctr is usually the first position I’ll throw basement price players to stack the team elsewhere

Guess it's time to finally get round to making a team that's not the community one

Weird Nu Brown is not top 30 and not in the system yet. I guess he was one the players given short term exemption?

Who is likely to take his place?

Gone from having a bench full of WFB to a bench of pretty much Edges

Garner Hopgood Katoa Loirero Ford Blore Doorey all in the squad.

got to drop one of them and actually thinking it might be Garner or Loiero or even both.

Pretty sure he is top 30.

Think Tanner is the exemption player

It looks to me that Ofahengaue is a 5-point undervalued gun with very low ownership that will not play origin and is in a side on the up...

Why the lack of attention?

In NRL signings tracker he is

With Hutchinson on the bench you would expect that Smith is not gonna play 80. He is still value - but is he enough value with the early bye

I really want to ditch him but I’m a chicken
