    There is no question that Hynes is the best fullback in the team by a country mile. Trindall significantly outperforming a very average fullback in Kennedy is hardly a stretch.

    Hynes also won this relatively minor award called the Dally M medal at halfback, with the most votes ever polled. You don't think the Sharks will perform better if Trindall is at 7, you think your fantasy team will perform better

    Hynes is also a Dally M winning halfback, that was a key reason why the Sharks moved from 9th to 2nd on the ladder. They aren't going to move him

    He also increases risk of reinjury if doing lots of kicking. Everyone else thinks the odds are <1%, I don't.

    Chose him over Carrigan to partner Haas & Sutton in my 17.
    I also ran with Robson over Grant at starting Hooker.

    That is always a risk playing the minutes game when you rely on them for their score to be decent
    Ah Mau,Leniu,Thompson,Uto are but a few off memory
    So theres always that risk attached rather than say a 2rf or are less likely to be subbed (As ideally you want to play them both 80mins to rotate your middles all game)

    As for the sharks bench the way Wilton is looked at as the future and they need to resign him soon
    Graham on basically a vet 1 year contract and the club looking after him much like Gallen/Fifita/Lewis in recent times
    The Lines Wilton runs along with Nikora and you saw this in the trials again is awesome, and can't see them interupting this. Also Graham got caught out alot in defence as he has gotten older but this is less of an issue in the middle

    Talaki/Ramien and 2 solid wingers along with Nikora/Wilton is going to be fun for the defence if they all stay healthy this year.

    Anyways Graham is more of a middle/injury cover as can slot in literally anywhere including the halves like he did in the trials. Make even play as a prop in the middle stages and ball play a little too
    Probably similar to a hutchinson for the roosters

    On another note looking at the sharks bench it's basically 3 locks on the bench along with Finucane and Rudolf and you have a very mobile team there which will be interesting
    Going to probably play up tempo attacking play so can't wait

    I’ll just say that in the Avengers, Dr Strange used the time stone to calculate there was one future reality out of 14.000,000ish where they defeat Thanos.

    I think this scenario  is in a similar range

    I get where you are coming from and it's done in a respectful way.

    I just like to let Matt get on with his forum job, which is to do exactly what he is doing, but I am more of a desperate hope rather than blind optimism guy.

    I don't get cranky or disdainful about 'best scenario' projections, it all adds to the colour

    At least I keep the discussion ticking over, and some alternative points of view for debate.

    Looking at TMM, trying to decide if he is worth it or not

    Last year Daejern Asi averaged 34 playing as 6 next to Shaun Johnson. Chanel Harris-Tevita averaged 23

    Which one is more like TMM?

    i doubt they abandon their structure & change their spine just because trindall has a good game. kennedy may be a poor fantasy asset but he's an important cog in their game plan & i always thought he wasn't that fast but in the trial he chased down & saved a try

    This really irritates me.

    If you don't tenderise horse meat you're going to end up with flavoursome but incredibly chewy minute steaks, or even stews. The flesh of horses is dense, low-fat, high-iron and very healthy, but you need to treat it properly before consumption.

    You can tenderise in a multi-day brine, or by really long slow cooking, or by tiny thin slicing and fast cooking... but nothing is better (for delicious thin steaks in particular) than manual tenderising.

    In short: bringing back the dead horse for another flogging is just good culinary practice.

    What you are saying is we should get Shaun Johnson as he looks underpriced
