I must be missing something, Aitken is at the Warriors.

Frizell missed 7 minutes throughout the entire 2020 regular season.
There is no way he can get more game time (unless you think he can play the entire season uninterrupted and get that extra 21 seconds a week) Do you think he will improve his workload at the Knights?

Also, how do you think Fitzgibbon out helps Watson? Barnett to edge when he would otherwise have started lock?
Fitzgibbon missing about a month, so if I only wanted Watson as lock (and didn't want him as a bench player) I am not sure this injury would be enough to sway me

Barnett is in the leadership group, so I assume he'll get a decent role, whether that is middle or edge.

Others who have the potential:

Fogarty: averaged 61.4 in 80-minute games between rounds 9-19 last year.

Saifiti: He's 24 now, touching on 100 first grade games, another Origin series under his belt, and in eight 50+ minute games last year he averaged 59.9.

AFB: Unlikely but if the Warriors decide to play him 60+ minutes his average is 62.

Tino: Everyone's on him already and I think it would take a heap of attacking stats, but not impossible I guess.

Mahoney: Into his third year as a starter. Went from averaging 51 in 80 minute games in 2019 to 56 in 80 minute games in 2020. Not inconceivable he adds another 5 points to that this year? Maybe gets less minutes with Lussick and Roache hanging around.

Horse: A sample size of two whole games, but he averaged 61 when playing 60+ minutes last year. Can't see him getting that much of a role obviously.

Brown: Priced at 55, but averaged 65 in a 70+ minute lock role last year. Only a 6 game sample size. Unlikely to get those minutes consistently you'd think.

Why randomly exclude Fogarty scoring 22 in 80 mins in R20

He won’t I don’t think if he’s going to Cronulla to play lock they have strong depth in the middles. I

I actually can't find the info about Fog swapping sides, I can't recall where I read it. It was in late January..

This article seems to confirm that Taylor is on the left still though - https://www.titans.com.au/news/2021/01/21/left-edge-nearly-right-to-go-says-kelly/

Will keep an eye on the trial but a second half priced at 50 probably doesn't fit my team make up. He'd have to be #1 if I was to run it.

EDIT i think i've been SCAMMED !!!

@WackosWhispers
Titans halves look set to switch sides in 2021 with Fogarty training on left side next to Proctor and Taylor on right side with Fifita

As MTB said though playing on the left it is likely he won’t see quite as many kick metres which I think will affect his scoring a bit.

Morris also said in the signing announcement they've signed him primarily to play lock.
