    IMO they're keepers until they're not.
    If they keep averaging over 55 then no doubt they'll stay in my team till round 25

    I like to colour code them

    I'm not weird:

    Might've just been the Tigers fans wanting him to move?
    Hmm what to do with the 1.7mil a season spent on Packer & Mbye....? - Probably spend it all on Milford Laughing Crying or Very sad

    They are both guns imo & if injury free will keep producing.

    Surely Tigers need to eat a good portion of that salary to find a willing suitor. Though we've seen some fucking dopey signings in the past.

    Looks like the Cowboys will be looking for someone (or two) who could play Half?
    Or maybe Walters liked him from Origin camps?

    According to the article, the SMH is saying the Tigers are willing to pay up to half of his salary next season.

    Rabbits21 wrote:The Sydney Roosters have been dealt another shocking injury blow with news that star hooker Sam Verrills requires further knee surgery.

    X-rays have revealed scar tissue on his knee that requires an operation and will keep him out for another four to five weeks.

    Verrills was originally due to make his comeback this weekend after recovering from an ACL injury.

    The Roosters already have their number one hooker Jake Friend out indefinitely as he recovers from a bad concussion from the opening round game against Manly.

    Coach Trent Robinson is expected to start with Drew Hutchison at hooker this weekend in a tough game against the New Zealand Warriors.

    The would mean Kiwi Test centre Joey Manu starting at five-eighth alongside rookie halfback Sam Walker with Brett Morris switching to the centres.

    Matt Ikuvalu, who scored five tries against the Cowboys last year, is expected to be named on the wing ahead of Joseph Suaalii.

    Making matters even worse for the Roosters is the unavailability through injury of utility and handy goal-kicker Adam Keighran.

    What's wrong with Lussick ?

    Nothing. Has only played 1 80 min game so far though, so unlikely to last the full game

    Sources have confirmed that the Tigers have agreed to release Billy Walters to the Broncos effective immediately on the condition that they also take Moses Mbye.

    Not sure if this has been answered because I'm just catching up. For mine they are keep until at least round 13 since they play the first bye. After that I'll probably flip them both into second bye guns

    Id be happy with that, but it makes less sense if they continue to see Croft as an NRL player. Walters can obvs cover hooker as well tho

    Thinking about Tino to McCullough. It's a no-brainer right? Clear upgrade to a R13 gun who might still be underpriced. Or is it worth waiting one more week on Tino? Leaves tenuous EDG cover (would have to start Stefano and move Crichton).
    If I didn't need to get in Papy I would absolutely go for Macca. Great trade IMO

    Anyone throwing Walker into their 17 this week? Debating whether to put him in over Liddle.
