Yep. We have so many average front rowers, they all look like they are playing for a spot. Felise was tremendous, but personally I just can't see him kicking on. So on that note, and going by my track record, mark him down for a 50 average and to earn you 400k!

nah, he wasn't named, read somewhere that he picked up a minor injury in the Capras game last week, so they rested him for this one

Souths scores

Souths has 331km as a team, 9 errors and 5 penalties conceded.

Cheers cow! How did Gurgess go?

Oops, S Burgess should read G Burgess.

Sam didn't play (according to league live, I didn't watch the game)

Haha all good mate! I didn't even check the team list.

Alright well I'm not outing Gurgess in then

That's correct, Sam didn't play.

Hummel Hunt with a decent showing in the CTR spot, plenty of cash in him if he starts

Does anyone know how long Cook played for?

Also heard that Fonua was doing sprints as the other boys were going to the sheds (presumably for his backchatting-->sinbin). Reynolds did them with him also, but you could assume that J.Rey did it with him to lessen the embarassment and/or to go the extra mile.

Apparently MWZ has been 'training the house down' which means he could take that left wing away from Fonua.

However MWZ being 377k isn't very fantasy relevant I guess. Heard Corey Thompson played well too, being 228k, he could be one to watch if he gets a starting spot come TLT.

Starting team for trial was 

1. Tuimoala Lolohea
2. Corey Thompson
3. Kevin Naiqama
4. Esan Marsters
5. Malakai Watene-Zelezniak


with Nofo, Milne, Fonua  on bench


Nofo would have a first grade spot locked up - would be interesting to see who is currently in the running for the other 3. 
if Milne doesn't get a spot that throws everyone int team redesign mode

ssshhhh

Thanks for the trial stats Milchcow! Any luck with the Broncos trial stats? Annoyed the stream didn't work.

If you HAD to pick either Milford or Nikorima, which one would you blokes go for and why?

Appreciate this completel defeats the purpose of your hypothetical but how/why on earth would you ever be in that spot? It’s pre-season. Unlimited changes no must have players or teams

I'd pick Nikorima over milf. Nikorima is underpriced by about 8 points due to his games as a bench utility. I'm actually considering him this year

The headline on the Bulldogs v Raiders trial - "Foran impresses as Bulldogs beat Raiders in thriller"

I watched the trial & you wouldn't of even known he was on the field. Did the journo even watch the game lol.

Cook played the first half at hooker, Farah played halfback.
Cook went off at half time and Farah switched to hooker.
Cook replaced Farah with about 10 mins to go.
So I'd say Cook played about 50 mins at hooker.

Anyone think Matt Scott is underpriced? He’s priced at 35 and I’m sure he has scored higher than that in previous seasons
