Are they going to do the Dragons trick of Talau to halves, Mbye to hooker when Liddle needs a rest?

From memory, talau played 5/8 in parts of the trials. So, I'd say you'd be correct, milch.

Talk to me about Bradley Deitz, I missed that trial.

i'm uncomfortable with how easily my team just pretty much filled itself after that, I can guarantee i've done it wrong, but i can't figure out how

I'd say plan is Mbye to fill in at hooker with Talua in halves.

Paving way for round 2 when Mbye will go to 14 with Doueihi starting (and Talau out of 17)

Tough one. Priced at 26, avg 36 on an edge (filtering out games of 1, 5, 16 minutes). Last year that jumped to 42.

Then again, all of his scores over 41 needed a try (he has two scores bang on 40 without a try). Whose edge will he be on? Tries might not be hard to come by in that Bunnies team.

I guess there's also the threat of Koala, but he's clearly won the spot on merit to start the season.

I've currently put him in the spot I had Davey pencilled in to fill.

Agree, appears very trappy! I owned him last season and he was underwhelming. Was only useful a couple of times when injuries hit bad

All of the games he started last year, he played big minutes. Also a three forward bench. It would be unusual selection. I think he is in my team.

it's annoying how they have access to team lists early but don't update the green/red dots for like an hour after they officially drop

Runs like Cook

I should not have watched that. The kids a talent.

Who is Adam Keighran on the bench for at The Roosters? Friend?

Not in first grade squad, will be gone as soon as Marshall-King is back to fitness

He'll play on the left which Walker and Latrell historically tend to favour and inside Graham and Johnstone I think

He should be fine if his form is good. Occasionally Wayne takes a back-rower off after 60-65 minutes but there's no reason to think he wouldn't be playing 80 most weeks otherwise as edge forwards do.

For the price he's no better or worse than any other similar priced option.

Thank you voice of reason

Well.....now I have to change my whole team.

It all depends how Murray and Arrow have their game time shared. Murray may spend some time on edge, meaning S'ua or Host has to play less game time.

If Host can keep starting spot ahead of Koloamatangi for at least first month, he's probably OK

Any interest in Ogden? Who out of him & Hetherington loses that spot when Thompson returns? Priced at 21, averages 30 when starting prop.
