    Ideally under $600k total.....

    Probably looking at Whare and Hiku wouldn't you dependent on who gets a starting gig obviously.

    Or you could go like Coote and Kennar if he gets a gig.

    id probably take a punt on katoa or isaako over those two (if they get the wing spot). both tackle busting players in good sides (ie should pick up some tries)

    Katoa looks like a good option indeed, forgot about him. Shame he's not DPP. How likely is Isaako to getting a full time gig?

    it depends alot on whether oates stays in the forwards.

    boyd kahu roberts are locked in, then bird will be back in round 4 or 5. so to start the year there is a centre spot open for a few weeks, and possibly a permanent wing position. if oates isnt wing then its probably isaako or pearson. they seem to love isaako tho (i like the look of him too). all that said, he may average 15 if he gets the gig.

    broncos have put up a full replay of the trial from the weekend if anyone wants a look. isaako played fb.

    Im 6k short of Dugan and Whitehead, which is my preference. But not sure where to make up that money.

    Have

    Smith
    Jbrom Lodge
    Harris, Murray, Tapine
    Cronk, Croft
    Crocker, Milne
    Ponga, Dugan Katoa

    Mcqueen, Carty, Cook, Arrow

    LLeilua
    Havili
    Garvey
    Croker

    49k ITB.

    I understand that there are plenty of weaknesses, but for all the players I would drop, I'm not confident with anyone cheaper, or I like them in that position.

    If cook does have the hooker spot locked for 80, would he be a better value buy than lichaa?

    Tempted to have both on the bench but wanting to keep a DDP FRF/2RF cover in my 17.

    Just reading a Panthers forum about Cartwright. Seems he came back to pre season unfit & over weight & expected to be in the starting 13 without working for it. I've read other things about him & he seems a real dick head with a poor attitude. The more I think about him & his attitude I actually think he's not going to score very well in fantasy & will be a bench regular for the Titans. I actually think if Arrow is fit then he'll start at lock & Cartwright will come off the bench.

    Ive gone with Carty in the starting halves pos after his GC move and it opened a lot more options up. So you can do that drop Cronk and youll find the 6k easy

    On the other hand.... Carty had a crappy time... I think the change to the Titans will do him good.
    A clean slate...

    Could juat be salty fans or could be true. Either way, is the move away the "turning point" in his career and more importantly personal life.. guess we'll have to wait and see.

    Milchy dont be surprised if Tracey gets the nod ahead of him, could go either way
