Think Katoa is more likely to be bumped to the bench with Curran moving to edge

So you mean Tohu to lock and Aitken/Curran edges?

Really struggling to find balance.
I get a strong Mid and halves but ends up with no HOK cover, bench average and EMG even more dicey. Revert to Strong HOK and my Mid and halves are terribly unbalanced and my Bench and EMG barely improved grrr.
Only thing I am happy with is my CTR and WFB selections which is surely concerning in the most volatile position lol
Very close to hitting the clear team button.

Could be one of those guys that starts at an awkward price and no one starts with him, then kicks on with some good scores and everyone misses him until they're grabbing him at the end of the year for 550-600K for a gun CTR... circa Lomax 2021.

Thats what I am counting on.

I continue to end up in the same situation. Despite doing this to myself every year and cursing it after round 1.

Could all depend how the centres perform I guess. If they are letting in tries, missing tackles, not finishing tries, etc... Curran is a steady enough lock forward to hold down the fort with Tevaga coming off the bench and Aitken may be the stop gap to take a centre spot with Tohu playing edge. Also any HIA to an outside back and Aitken is first one to move.

History shows picking two expensive centres ends in the centre merry-go-round...

Yeah, not a Warriors fan but I think that would be their best set up if all healthy

So Cotter- left my side last night. I have decided to run without HOK cover for a few weeks. I expect that in the next week or so a really obvious option is going to emerge; and I think that the chances that Randall gets injured during a game are much higher than mid-week.

The main PODs I have are Timoko and DWalker [and perhaps Pangai Junior for the OL love]. I am really interested in what happens with the Manly bench. Last year they played two very low-minute MIDs on the bench to accommodate Walker playing around 50 minutes. Sipley, from next week, while starting may only play 20-25 minutes for the game.

It makes me wonder if Koula may not get a utility back position moving forward even after Walker is back? For a difficult mid-spot, I think Walker is by far the best value and worth holding in my side for a week

Randall
Papalii, Pangai-Junior, Mann
Tuilagi, Fifita
Burton, Clifford
Timoko, Aitken
Papenhuyzen Crichton Hynes

Bullemor Ilias Schneider Tago

DWalker WSmith Vailea Thompson

Anyone miss out?

Can anyone name we 1 Melbourne player who went on to play well somewhere else?

You are all drunk on Hynes. No way he is in my team.

Same for Burton.

Tohu won't be going back to edge if that is what you are questioning.

It could be Aitken, Katoa or Curran to make way for him (assuming those 3 are all still starting when Tohu returns)

Pretty much anyone who claims they know what will happen is either guessing or lying.

Tbh, if either of these young centres struggle early on then Aitken could be in the centres by round 3.

Warriors forwards always seem to be shuffling

Tohu Harris, James Maloney, Cooper Cronk, Greg Inglis, Gareth Widdop, Mark Nicholls, Ryan Hoffman

all went on to be successful at other clubs.

Chanel Harris-Tavita did not get WFB despite being named at fullback (clear placeholder for Walsh so correct decision IMO)

They've also got Pompey and Arthars who could come into centres if they need one. Depends on results and what sort of improvement they want to see in the team, (should they see a need for improvement(

Watching him put Nikora through a gap, and paired with Moylan was all I needed to see.

Get an avatar and I'll take you more seriously

TK has really stepped up this season, quality interviews with players and coaches. He is studying journalism and based on what I am seeing, should be getting great opportunities in the industry in time. Would be great to have a guy with a fantasy background in mainstream TV broadcasts.

Yeah, he’s been great, amazing he gets those interviews.
