Moana likely to be trappy unless he's improved on his fitness

It seems like Musgrove would be the favoured bench player?

The make up of their bench is a hard one to pick. Madge had always been a fan of Musgrove (apparently) but he has never really kicked on to be a decent player (from what i've seen/in my opinion). Seems like a bit of a plodder tbh.

Stefano and Mikaele are the ones with futures imo. Mikaele had a foot injury at the trial (was reported pre game he may not play or will play limited mins), so pretty hard to work out how they will fit.

Stefano could be a 20 min guy scoring 15-20 pts a week or he could work into a 35 min role...so hard to pick

On my lunch break I am going to rebuild my entire team

He was playing middle at Warriors

The two games he played 80 and 70 mins, which you keep referring to, he played on edge.

At least he can serve it while injured

It's a wait and see for me.
I don't understand why Lawrie isn't starting at 13, or Ford starting at 2RF at the Dragons.

Looks as trappy as a trappy thing

He was named there but played second row.

Went a little crazier, less cover but will cull a poor performing hooker for cover should the need occur haha
Hopefully get some early points/cash generation over the first few weeks and go from there

29k ITB

Koroisau
BSmith Lodge Watson
Riki Host
Cleary Croker
Bird Roberts
Tedesco Papenhuyzen Laurie

McCullough
Turpin
Brailey
Liddle

Egan Niu Simonsson Averillo/Gosiewski

I spent about an hour last night juggling around with no gun edges and trying to fit Koro/Turps and maybe Egan/Hodgson on top of the 5 hookers I’ve already got. Don’t have your balls in the end.

Still keen to get Koro, might have to do something like Croker starting to make it happen tho.

I do know he had HUGE wraps at the Eels who were very disappointed to let him go, played NSW juniors and Tigers were very happy they signed him. Tipped for a big future and has a huge engine apparently.

He very well might play 80. No hooker named on the Manly NSW Cup bench



oh,  you probably meant in first grade

Oh yeah of course, for fantasy

Having trouble deciding

BSmith and Brooks
SST and Tupouniua

Not 100% convinced on Tupouniua

This is why I'm happy to wait. If Stefano is first middle off the bench in a big minute role, he will only be 20-30k more expensive

And bang, just got Koro in two moves, $0 ITB. A sign if there ever was one! Plus Croker is not my second half, so that’s a big plus

That's fair enough, but then it comes down to who you replace him with in your starting team.

Its great to consider more CTR options than just Bird/Roberts/Averillo. But what is the appeal of Herbet?

Priced at 26 with a career average of 25.7 at centre (which includes some goal kicking, actual average is about 24)
Last year his scores were 4, 10 and 36.
Then he got injured in a game where he was on track to hit as high as a score in the low 20s.

To me there is also just not alot of difference in it anyway, I can stick with Averillo there, but that's just a 40k difference and we are not sure of his role or return. Herbert's a gut feel, now in a team expected to have there best chance of firing. Someone like Roberts, we have seen what he can and can't do or deliver over a season, no strong appeal there over Herbert. If Herbert was 500k I wouldn't have him, but he is around the same as these sub 400k centres we are throwing around.

Probably wouldn't pick him up though if I don't start with him, not worth the trade to bring in a bench middle who will make cash slowly.

Its tempting to start with him purely because of his price, and there's that feeling that he has a big year even if he's a slow burn early on.
