Will check on severity of Cordners injury and timescale but if he misses anything more than 4-6 rounds I don't think I can pass on him

It is TLT, lone scout confirmed it in a tweet reply to wackos whispers.

On weapons they reckon 3-6 months depending on the healing process.

3 months

I'm trying to fit them both in and I'm struggling to do so. With the reports De Belin might be playing 80 he is hard to pass up

There were no reports of De Belin playing 80. Just Dean Young saying he expects De Belin to have a big year.

Classic example of how words get taken out of context/blown out of proportion.

Potential there but nothing I have seen set in stone either, Cooper is more likely to be playing 80 I reckon

Cheers guys, almost a lock for me now then

although SST isn't a direct replacement for Cordner this a classic case of someone with a greater fantasy potential than their replacement getting their chance due to injury/suspension/origin

JDB proved last year he doesn't need to play 80 to score 50. The amount of times he came off the bench & he'd already made 10 tackles in 5 minutes. That's why I can't help but pick him. JDB & SST are super cool

More like people waning to believe I think. Grasping on to any minor preseason statement and letting the thoughts grow from there. I am guilty of that in this case. A 60 min JDB at the least is a great prospect to have on your team

Throw in the likes of DCE and RTS and you have the makings of a decent team. And surely someone can think of a clever team name around the triple lettered names

The TLAs

RTS
SKD
MCK
JON
DWZ
TMM
DCE
SST
JDB
JSL
JWH
ZDC
LAM
RFM
NAS
CWN
TPJ

You sound like Jurgen Klopp

I might captain Firmino too.

Aubs being a trap is a myth. I was burned by Aubs early on as a rookie. But rather than being twice shy, I learned to navigate the subtle nuances of the Aubs pick. I can recall getting on and off at just the right time for Aubs on at least two occassions since then. The only reason Aubs is considered a trap is because you don't really ever know whether he will start or not (Robinson used to love naming him to start TLT and benching him gameday) and also as a utility he can end up in the centres through injury. But if he can start and play in the 2nd row, he will be an easy 50 (priced at 37) in that tricky centre position each week. I think the real risk is missing out on such VALUE! Definitely will spring for him if he takes over Cordners role

Kane Evans has an insane PPM. Averages 40 points over the 10 games he played over 30 minutes, priced at 30 points ($273k).

Do we reckon he'll get a regular 40+ minutes with no JWH/Cordner? The most he played last year was 44 minutes.

Throw in RCG and and it's a pretty solid team actually

In there lies the answer, undeniable he is good when he starts in the backrow and normally plays 60-80 but he never strings the games together because he is always getting moved around

I fell for it again last year....got him in when Guerra broke his jaw and was supposedly out for 7-8weeks, Aubbs had 2 scores in the 50s then dropped back to CTRS and 30s when Guerra made an early recovery

3 months for a torn pec sounds pretty optimistic, doesn't it?

Doggies backrow

Josh Jackson
Tony Williams
Greg Eastwood

please talk me out of T-Rex all I want is 35 from him? surely he gets 60 in that back row?

rephrase - he avg 62mins last year...surely he doesn't completely flop again right...

Exactly. Normally at least 6 and thus season ending. Maybe it's not a complete tear; but it's a massive muscle both anatomically and functionally and attached to a relatively small tendon so extremely tricky to manage.
