    Yeah, I was matching @Milchcow's 2017 list with the NRL teamlists and noticed these non-players.

    I had Faifai Loa pencilled down as a POI, but he's gone to the Townsville Blackhawks

    Joel Thompson has signed for Manly. There goes my Gosiewski punt as Winterstein will now go back to the bench I assume.
    At the Dragons I'd say T. Sims will now start so it opens a bench spot for Sele, Host or L. Leilua.

    I might try and fit Slade Griffin in my squad as a 2RF if he gets the starting gig at the Knights...
    Then when the Garvey train comes to a hold I can move Griffin up in the HOK position and bring in another 2RF.

    Sir @Milchcow ,do you have any stats on Griffin's ppm when he plays hooker?

    At best I think Griifin will be on the bench if that. I think he's injury prone myself.

    I think Levi will start, when he goes off for a rest then Buhrer to hooker & Fitzgibbon comes off the bench & plays in the backrow & plays the rest of the game. Then when Levi comes back on he will spell Buhrer.

    I think Buhrer will stick to the 2nd row, and only do a stint at Hooker when there is an injury.
    Griffin and Levi to share the Hooking duties

    I tend to think this way too. I think Brown will want to go with experience in the second row. Guerra and Buhrer will work nice. Fitzgibbon will start in the second row in round 2 after Buhrer gets injured in round 1.

    Wacko posted the other day that brimson had been training at fb with gordon at centre.

    Meaningless qt this stage but food for thought. Either way, if hes named at 1 (brimsom) in rnd 1, its not exactly a secret
