    Gut feel - he was scoring well toward the end of last year and with Mansour out I see the Panthers running their attack more through the middle. I think he'll be on the end of a lot of Cleary /Cartwright passes

    I think for the 21 coaches will name their strongest 17 then outside that have 1 back 1 utility/hooker 2 forwards(if a half under cloud this will change slightly). It'll be about knowing which guys are under injury cloud and making sure you have them covered.

    I don't think it fixes anything the NRL is trying to do. They need to bring in injury designations like NFL so everyone knows if a player is less then 50% chance more then 80% etc. If a guy like JT is no chance of playing he will still get named with his cover in the 18/19 spot and we aren't sure he is out until 1 hour before kick off still

    Thought I'd try my hand at this rhyming malarkey...

    There once was a fella named Sironen
    Whose team everyone loathed to put 'im in
    They thought his dad was a gun
    But the force not so strong with his son
    So instead he was left in the reject bin

    Then along came team list naming
    Everyone had him, so upsettin'
    Round one came about and the boy did put out
    More than I've recently been gettin'

    Im not a Raiders fan, so I dont know how clever Mr Fensom is. On NRL.com theyve said...

    "It would be very exciting to run out against [the Raiders] but we'll see how we go... this is my first day ay training."

    Even if he doesn't play on Saturday night Fensom will undoubtedly bring his knowledge of the Raiders to his new team, having already spoken to coach Paul Green.

    "I'll give him a few tips, I know all the players... I know all the calls, I spoke to him last night about a couple of them, but I won't give too much away to the cameras."

    So saying this how do you think it'll affect him negatively?

    Did Lichaa average 50+ as a 80 minute hooker? My memory is clouded by his round 1 injury!

    I get the moylan inclusion tbh.

    Panthers have Knights Tigers Dragons all in their first 4 matches. Need one of their backs! I've looked elsewhere but def understand the move

    I imagine it was probably a pretty short conversation 

    Feno: "So uh... want some inside info on the Raiders plays"
    Green: "I guess?"
    Feno: "Ok, so i guess I'll start with the outside backs, play 1 is called 'Get it to Beej'.
    Green: "Right... i think i can see where this one is goi-"
    Feno: "-and we put it through the hands and make sure BJ gets some nice early ball 1 on 1 with someone!"
    Green: "Great. Than-"
    Feno: "-Oh and don't forget about 'Run hard Boydy'"
    Green: "Ok thanks Shaun, can you write all these down and I'll have a read later".

    Your avatar is probably Ricky's reaction when he reads the headline "Fensom spills to new coach"

    It might raise some eyebrows of his old mates, who knows. He probly wouldnt have realised they were going to direct quote him and splash on the website

    Hey guys any recommended twitter accounts for Fantasy NRL specifically training ground gossip or injuries news ?

    I have a load for FPL but really only Wacko when it comes to nRL outside of the actual news sites

      Current date/time is Mon May 20, 2024 7:39 am
