Sounds like it's been a really tough recovery. Hoping it goes smoothly and the wait will be worth it. The NRL isn't the same without that glorious mullet tearing up and down the field.

First month would be great news, I was under the impression he'd be out until round 10 or so.

Just watched the Titans game, they have a lot of really good young talent coming through Kini, Haas Jr, Tino Jr, Weaver.

Cunningham's Law

Owen Cunningham??

Anyone think Robbo will rest Teddy at some point this season? Massive 2022, backing up again... got a player like Sualli'i and Manu who are both capable of FB... there hasn't been any official word but Robbo does really like to manage workloads.

who are the cheapies that we think will start the season

Alamoti?
Stone?
Talau?
Luke?
AKP?
Trbojevic?
Matamua?
Moale?
George Jennings?
Doorey?
Paix?
Colquhon?

Alamoti
Stone (bench)
Talau
Luke (bench but mail is he'll play 50-55 off the bench)
AKP
Trbojevic
Matamua
Moale (bench but should benefit from Sele's injury)
George Jennings (could be Warbrick instead)
Doorey (if he doesn't start it'd likely be Momoisea who is also 250k)
Paix (bench)
Colquhon

My opinion on the list mentioned, there's also Sloan, Perham, Izaac Thompson and Siua Wong if Angus is actually out

Guru just said sadrugu nickname is the Fijian Corey Parker

Hope he gets named on TLT, I’m all over it

Corey Parker getting 4 points for offloads and turnovers would've been something else #FantasyImmortal

Let’s hope he’s a reincarnate

Inshallah

So my team - feel the balance is okay (although completely sacrificing ctr)

Robson
Tapine Elliott Sutton
Hopgood E Butcher
Cleary Hynes
Alamoti TLT Ctr (250k)
Walsh Miller Perham

Stone Smith Katoa TMM

Genning AKP Talau Wong (or best 4 TLT cheapies)

79k

With a bit of cash allows for some changes watching Bird’s role, E Butcher role

Appreciate any comments

I really like the look of him in the trial just had that bit more than the others and some great footwork to get those tackle breaks / line breaks. The Cows have some outstanding young forwards with Dunn coming back Luki to return Leilua out (would be a big loss for most teams) and losing Gilbert and co their pack is still strong with depth.

Plus whoever gets picked to replace Savage could also be at bottom dollar

Nice balanced team with both Cleary and Hynes and fiiting Walsh in.
Some interesting anti-podding too with no Garner or Hammer.

TPJ just to play prop this year. No edge/middle hybrid role. Probably an avoid for me

Depends how the Roosters are travelling. Last year he didn't get the opportunity to rest much because they had too many must-win games.

If they are well into the top 4, then there will be restings around origin for sure.

Makes RFM a bit more interesting, assuming he gets the other edge spot.

Kikau more likely to get rested, meaning more secure minutes for the other edge. RFM 10+ points underpriced as an 80 minute edge player.

Hmmm... defined, simplified role is good. If he starts and gets approx Vaughan's minutes (50ish) then there's a load of upside (as well as stress)

Only concern is the emergence of Preston and RFM training in the middle when preston is withs 1sts
