8 hope he does I loved Burr At the Titans and was shocked he didn't get a crack at the Bulldogs when they were calling up guys like Martin and such.

I think it is pretty obvious that Fanhub rates Drinkwater as an class player, whereas O'Sullivan is not.
Enough said.

With a new ethos at the Warriors, I see Burr slotting straight in. From what I've seen he's a workhorse who can bring some aggression. It would also suit Tevaga's impact role. Looking forward to TLT lol only 36 more sleeps

Sounds like Burr would become the most picked player if starting lock at $228k

Well that makes it easy. BORING!

Anyone watching QLD cup last year would agree with that assessment

Well that sucks, godspeed everyone up in Townsville!:

"Due to the weather disaster that has impacted so many in Townsville and the North Queensland region, the Cowboys Community Day scheduled for this Friday, 8 February, has been cancelled.

Cowboys HQ remains closed as we work to ensure that our players and staff and their families are safe, as well as support the ongoing efforts of our incredibly hard-working emergency services, Defence and police personnel.

Please stay strong for each other and continue to listen to Queensland Police and SES warnings and instructions.

Stay safe and remember, if it’s flooded, forget it.

Watching Drinkwater down at Easts of a weekend was like watching Munster down at Easts about 4 years prior. Both were very clearly a level above the local comp. I'd go as far to say that Drinkwater looked better than what Munster did at the same time*

I get the feeling that, as much as we bag fanhub, they're only doing as much work as the NRL will pay them to do.

I guess the NRL forgot to pay them this year then

Pretty sure Ligi Sao started at lock for the Warriors last year and it lasted about 2 games. But i guess that because mannering came back in

Ive had Lil Papi penciled in all preseason. Starting to get cold feet though. Just got funny feeling Warriors might struggle this year. No Mannering, no SJ, i wouldnt put it past them having one of those seasons

Completely agree, except my appraisal was from the Living Room on both of them.

I know I’ve said it a few times, but I thought Carlin Anderson was Munster 2.0 as well.

Lomax. Took moga out of my side so only 1 in my starting 17.

Wrong. They chose to play Adam Blair at lock. and with LAM and Paasi at front row. I see Blair staying there

Lol Sao 100% started a couple of games at lock last year. Also Blair was predominately used as a second rower towards the end of the year with Harris went down with an injury. Can’t see Blair playing lock this year it’ll either be 8, 10 or 11

Lomax. Is he this year Milne? I won't be getting excited just yet

I was just reading that Carlin kick's goals too. He'd be in the running for fullback with TMM and Hampton.
