I had Slater last year & that was a mistake. I just don't see Slater lasting that long. Will he even make it through the trials. Last year I read this report that Slater was injury free, his body was fit as & so on but he got injured in round 1. You could maybe risk starting with Munster on the assumption that Slater will probably get injured.

He doesn't have the size to last 80 minutes in the NRL there's a good reason why he's not being spoken about

Spectre wrote:In saying that look at the size of Peats and he can play 80 comfortably with a big workload

According to Wiki...

Pritchard - 175cm 80kg
Peats - 181cm 92kg

Fairly big difference there.

my tv broke wrote:Parra Eels site lists him at 90KG though.. wonder what it is? i would assume he's been working on adding some bulk as the years progress.

Even if Arthur does want an 80min hooker, I reckon he'll have to settle for playing both King and Pritchard, at least to start the year.

He doesn't be have big size about him but he's all heart when he plays. I know he won't play 80 mins and I'm not talking him up as an option. It's more directed at those who think King is locked in at 9 and will play big minutes. I can't see that at all

Gallen is injury prone. Not interested in Whitehead or J-Trbo. I think the only ones that could maintain their average are Cordner, B. Thompson, Cartwright, Harris. I do like Buhrer/Barnett  as I think they'll make 100 tackles a game but I have Sione. After that price range it's pretty bare. Dare I say it Aubusson playing 80 mins in a much better 2017 Roosters looks good.

I wanted to start with mannering as he is a keeper who plays the first bye but hes too expensive and price will come down.

When he plays he always puts in big numbers. Trouble is, he doesn't play enough. Without looking at the stats, would he average 15 NRL games in the regular season per year over the past couple? Seems that Flano doesn't mind resting him for the most minor niggles.
