Not impossible, but forwards more likely to get caught out by the new rules than backs (except Dragons backs, for some reason). Hard to pick out the grub in Panthers' 1-7, they're all ridiculously clean-cut.

Still, surely one of them will get a knock, and Momo will also likely play Rnd 14 two days after Origin.

What’s the thinking behind grabbing a gun centre to cover peachy? Leaves you with three gun centres after origin, waste of money to keep one in the EMG?

This does not bode well for Reimis

I'm doing it, and third gun centre (who I already own) is Crichton, but that's not a waste when he'll probably scoring covering the back five most weeks, rather than taking a Simonson 23 or a Roberts 0. Season keeper in the 18-21. Hopefully no more centre trades.

Have you though of Harper over Manu?

I have - but I trust Manu's long-term consistency which is proven, over Harper who seems to be benefiting from a Manly/Turbo purple patch

Personally I think you need 3 playable ctrs in your final squad. Ideally the 3rd ctr will also be a ctr/wfb dual

Not hard to pick at all.
Crichton is a grub.

I have just become aware of the fact that there are absolutely 0 R17 WFBs of interest for those without Walsh. Laurie and Simonsson are my only cover who are sells. Spooky times ahead. Now I see the appeal of 3 gun centres with a wfb/c dual

Any rnd 13 players looking for an immediate transfer ?

Can we find a guy who will play both rounds?

Mbye to Dragons wouldn't help.

If we think that Koroisau starts playing 80 it means May isn't a buy. Averaged 22.8 off the interchange last year, he's only scoring 30s because he's getting over a PPM when Koro is off.

I think history has shown that you rarely get to play your preferred 17, decent back up is required and I want JS so they are less likely to be needing a trade. Also, next time there is a complete carnage round, this gun centre of your choice covers Mid via Peachey, and by extension edge via Angus/Harris/TPJ and by extension covers half via those guys plus Schuster. Plus there may be times when you can loop a good score in.

I have my eye on Rapana. Will see how he goes coming back from injury.

Haha, pulling no punches

I was gonna say I dunno about grubs, but Crichton seems a bit of a fuckwit. Luai had a tendency to stray high sometimes, but might've cleaned that up.

Thoughts on Nathan Brown over Starling?
