Because he's named in the Storm 8's or because the NRL can't be fucked working out the salary cap implecations ?

This didn't get the love it deserved

Can Mbye improve at hooker. Small sample size from 5 games in 2017 not pretty. All 80 mins 61pts with a try then 26 26 34 35

Versatility kinda hurts him. With tigers being light in at the start of the season you'd think that when their cattle return there's a good chance he gets shifted, especially if they ain't travelling real well. That being said, potential for a quick bump in cash if he starts there, albeit only a small one. Personally I'll be leaving him outta my side.

Just threw together a team with Keary to see how it looks;

Koro
Haas Knight
Matterson Lowe Williams
Moses Keary
Suli Talau
Pappy Brimson Lomax

Brailey Stimson Capewell Carrigan

Luai Mago Musgrove 228K

I don't mind Suli as a POD pick for his price too.  Was doing good things at the end of last year.

Completed my first draft last night. 16 players which involve picking a total of 272 players overall. Was going really well until the game shit itself and fired through the last seven or eight rounds with auto pics. Manage to scramble at the end and grab a lot of different players who were free agents. Just a warning for anyone playing draft, get your pick list sorted before hand because The platform still has major bugs. still ended up with a solid team.

Smith. Toleman, Knight. Lowe, SMat, Stimpson. Mann, JMK. Croaker, Lomax. Gutherson, Turbo, PAPs.
Api, Merren, Kerrigan, Dewey
Hoping for one of Carrigan, Knight or Merren to get DPP status and I'm in a good place.. Excuse the dictation in this message, I can't be asked fixing it. Oh, on a positive note, accessibility was great. #B+

I noticed that this morning when WT2K replied and I thought I got away with it.

That's a good team for a 16 player draft. Bit weak in halves but I doubt any team is strong everywhere in a comp that big.

It's the internet. You make a mistake, and some cunt's gonna come along show you up.

Assuming JRey or Walters on the bench, I just don't see a lot of value in Mbye

Even if he looks like playing 80, the only possible value is that you can select him at CTR

Brimson's stats are also dodgy for that matter. I don't know how he has made it into so many teams

Dodgy how? He averaged 42 when playing fullback last year

Tigers/Cowboys could benefit from a Granville/Momo swap

Just a few names I've seen mentioned:

Hughes
Keary
Capewell

My reaction:

Maybe the Tigers should just get a bit greedy and ask for Brandon Smith instead of Grant. See how desperate the Storm truly are for Momo

Momo, I like it.

Mofo
Molo
Momo

Where do you think he might end up?

The only other teams that I can think of that might want a 9 immediately are Warriors and Bulldogs, and neither have any decent outside backs in their depth that the Storm could use.

Unrelated, but I woke up thinking I need Taumalolo in my team.

Warriors sure don't need more Hookers -
Egan
Lawton (due back opening rounds)
Nikorima
Roache (due back mid season)

That would be a very easy "no".

Levi has to be good value this year, surely. He goes alright with good minutes and do Manly have another hooker in their 30?

Yes I suggested him earlier as a great option. Strong foward pack, big minutes.

Others have suggeseted that he can't be fit in with Grant, brailey, friend, koro ahead of him.

I'm tempted to take the punt as a POD. I actually think he is a good little player.

Manly might struggle in the early rounds though with no AFB and Jturbo up front. Also thought Kapow was battling injury, so might be able to pick up levi a few rounds in.

Think I prefer him to Koroisau who probably shares minutes with Kenny?

NRL team predictions saying Croker/Cust may be trained as backup to Levi

I'm of the opinion that BS9 is actually BS13 in waiting after Finucane departs and Grant will be Storms next hooker. Therefore they don't wanna lose either but can't currently find room for Grant. Risk losing him if he doesn't start getting game time hence the loan idea. Don't think storm would even play Momo, would be purely a depth acquisition for that ctr position which they are severely lacking.
