HomeT. Sims likely to start at 2fr but L. Leilua has a great chance to grab a bench spot.

They play Tariq as a prop last year didn't they?

Yes bench prop last year & he still will play a bit this year but all they have is Host who is down the pecking order & Leilua who is better as an impact weapon rather than starting. They reckon the bench will be - LAM, Sele, Leilua, Mann.
LAM - spells props
Sele - spells JDB
Leilua - spells Tariq & plays out game
Then Sims has a rest & spells props.

Doesn't look like there will be a lot of minutes for the bench. Graham and Vaughn will be playing big minutes. LAM would get the most minutes from the bench. I had Sele last year and he barely got more than 10mins IIRC

Munster, Croker
BJ,Milne
Tedesco, Inglis, CWalker
Lichaa, Cartwright, RFM, Havili/Garvey

A lot of chat about Teddy and Mitchell so far.
What about Edwards and Mansour this year?
Might even throw George Burgess in there too

I have a feeling both will be scoring loads of points this season, Mitchell will most likely have a few quiet ones but I think there will be more upside to him this year......teddy will be teddy, I have both pencilled in

Did a player profile on Edwards, my WFB smokie to finish top scorer! Even above the mighty Teddy

That's what I thought when I saw that bench that one of Graham/Vaughan would play big minutes but they are a bit out of my price range.

1. Jamayne Isaako
2. Corey Allan
3. Tom Opacic
4. Gehamat Shibasaki
5. Moses Pangai
6. Todd Murphy
7. Shaun Nona
8. George Fai
9. Jake Turpin
10. Payne Haas
11. Salesi Funaki
12. Andre Savelio
13. Patrick Mago
Interchange:
14. Gerome Burns
15. David Fifita
16. Thomas Flegler
17. Patrick Carrigan
18. Myles Taueli
19. Keenan Palasia
20. Eddie Blacker
21. Kotoni Staggs
Thanks. Removing Isaako and Opacic from my team now I’ve seen the second 17

I share these sentiments MS. Being a starter might push him to 40/45 and a new club and new role might spur him on a bit and he has averaged decently in the past but will probably give him a miss
I put Latu in the bin when I saw the Cartwright news

Atm I've gone Teddy, Edwards, Ponga. 3 dedicated FBs who won't be moved anywhere.
Means I've had to go Hiku, Milne which scares me.

Swap Edwards with Nofo and that's my back 5 at the moment. WFB looks amazing but obviously the team suffers a lot elsewhere.

All I can suggest if you like him to that extent then stick with your gut and call and pick him on your extended even as an nPR. History has shown a great way of avoiding burning a trade plus instant differential when he appears. If he’s in TLT 13 he will be in every team so you prob prefer him not and dragons get off to a slow start
