E.g. Best to S Crichton and Papali to some 570k starting lock will strengthen it a tad

I see where you're coming from. I just can't help but think of 2 weeks out from finals last year Bellyache drops Croft and moves Hughes into half and Papy into FB. You would think he would only do that if he believed it was his best team going forward, even if the rest of the squad apparently had beef with Croft. Oh well i guess watch this space aye? I think these are going to be some telling times over the next couple years. I am actually excited to see what lays ahead for us past Smith's retirement. Do we move Brandon into 9 or Grant? Where does the money go? Maybe Folau would be a good signing next year

It's standard but good, although looking like Stimson and Grant will have to go.  

Everyday I keep warming to starting with Luai in my halves.

It's "TRIALS" not "TRAILS"



Ok - feel better now.

Yeah, after being away for two weeks I feel a bit behind the 8 ball on players in favour/players no longer looking like getting a gig. Is Friend still liked around here or have people moved on? Also feel like A.Fifita could become Knight and I can strengthen my bench (Stimson/Grant). Drinkwater could also become a Cow and I could possibly grab CS9 somewhere.

Are those NPRs $228k or $246k. Can make a big difference to your ability to get useful players there.

If a cheap WFB playable turns up that would help your flexiblity (Brimson or Drinkwater could go to halves to cover Luai)

So no depth but looks OK. individually there are no selections not supported by most of us here

I would appreciate some thoughts on my current team.  Feel naked at a party without Cam smith.. But I feel it's a better spread without the gun 9.

Koro
Haas, Knight
W.Graham, Hess, D.Fifita
Cleary, Drinkwater
Best, Lomax
Pap, Doueihi, A.Brimson

B.Brailey, J. Wallace, Stimson, Magnoulias
Kolomatangi, Utoikamanu, Luai, Leleisiuano

thoughts, good, bad and ugly is welcome.

Cheers

No more info on Friend really.  Verrils played the 9's so some are taking that as Friend may have his gig back.  I think personally Verrils will be on the bench.

Do you still think CS9 can average around that 60 mark mate?

If Crichton to centre is true (I'm skeptical), then Verrils will almost certainly be on the bench.

Can I make a case for Drivel vs Dribble?

Mighty Fishes wrote: Love the Wallace pick!

Wade Graham is a different pick too. My only thoughts on him is his reliance to kick on the last may go down a bit but hes in the leadership group and a few forwards are missing. He might really step up
