Just has predicted teams, with Sarginson in and Wallace at lock, so would take this with a grain of salt.

You can't spell Mr Sarginson without "Simona".

No actual news coming out of the club that I've seen and I expect Ricky will wait until a lot closer to the day to make a decision (or at least tell people of his decision). We have our one and only trial this saturday against the Knights so he probably wants to see how things go there before deciding and I'd say how the injury itself progresses will have an impact on the decision (1 week vs 4 for example)

FWIW, The fans on the forum are split on who they want there; generally between Cotric and Turner although there is also other suggestions such as Naden or shuffling the squad. My money is on Turner as Welshy said, he's played plenty of CTR in the ESL i believe. In saying that I'd be more than happy to see Cotric there though and give Turner the bench utility spot.

Turner was pretty ordinary in the All stars. He dropped the ball cold on his first touch then one other time I believe. I really wish I could watch the trial this weekend and see how they both go

I didn't get to see the start of the All stars, first the router and then the stream were fucking me about and everything after Croker's injury was blurred by tears so hard to comment. Apparently the club will be streaming it so you can watch.

So if Kromwich gets Proctor's spot, who gets Kromwich's bench spot?

Good question...

I thought the bench would look like

Glasby
Welch
NAS
Kaufusi

Hahaha I jus noticed something, did they forget to give Jahrome Hughes his discount?

Thought so. He scored over 70 points three times last year in Ultimate. Picked him up as an AE for Hunt and Cleary.

FWIW

CS9 ownership 29.28% seems low

Yeah, crazy. Probably a lot of players seeing how they can stack their teams without Cam early on as first drafts.

Probably true mate!

Gutherson or Holmes?

No one

Hughes got a 27% discount (he did score 52 in his only game last year) which is in line with how they normally do it.

Its just that other guys who only played one game - Jonus Pearson, Josh Chudleigh, Reimiss Smith were capped at $236k.

Jahrome Hughes and Drew Hutchison weren't capped there. 

I have no idea why this is the case.
