Twal (14-17) and Kikau (18-21)

or

Liu (14-17) and Evans (18-21)

leaning toward the 1st decision. I get the impression that all it will take is a few extra minutes fro Twal to be a gun keeper and I think Liu's advantage now is a little inflated... but maybe Evans has better job security than Kikau

How many minutes did Twal play?

Also does anyone know if Nofo had a lot of involvement?

I didn't see the game, but the Tigers named 22 players. Whatever minutes people played won't be indicative of first grade plans.

The only trial game where you should care about minutes is the WCC, because it has limited subs and a 4 man bench.
Every other game will have experimentation

Did anybody see how Dufty did?

I'm a bit worried about my captain, Mannering. Played on the left side most the night. I can see the Warriors running a 40 minute split at lock with Pulu/Lisone/Paasi or who ever. Not sure why Harris is on the right, but him next to Johnson is a dangerous combo, he'll be staying in my side.

Anyone know how the Manly prop rotation get on? I have AFB and Lodge at the moment, I might have to upgrade AFB if he only got 30 minutes.

Very elusive and dangerous in attack. Scored a nice try straight through the line. Once Souths got on top though he didnt have much involvement obviously. Did drop a sitter of a kick defusal also. He'll be good and worthy of a spot in a fantasy team. I currently have Teddy, Ponga and Mofo but thinking downgrading Nofo to Dufty for the funds.

NSW player on the breezers again. Guess who

Dufty looked good but drifted out of the game big time. Still a good option tho

That try Dufty had was brilliant. They brought Lomax on late, he's a big dude isn't he.

I wonder if Bacardi sponsor Duges or he just genuinely loves the taste.

Mannering is a wait and see for me. If you're going to start with an elite backrower and make him capt id go jturbo or jdb a head of mannering. At least they wont end up on the edge.

From all reports AFB played really well and broke the line on few occasions. Not sure how many mins he will play tho

does munster score better at fullback or 5 8 , have him at 58 at the moment

Thanks Chewie. Verdict is still out on Watson.

Watson seems like the third playmaking option behind pearce and ponga.

Did Hymel Hunt get shafted?

If you are going to start with AFB, be prepared to accept his sites if/when Lussick sends him to the bench, or get ready to trade him out early.

Cheap props are annoying. I don't like Evans, NAS, AFB or many of the popular cheap options, but might end up having to take some punt on one of them anyway.

Moved to the bench and pretty sure he didn't even get on.
