I think it's a decent shout if you've got Drown on the bench and maybe a HLF/WFB at the back as well just in case it all goes pear shaped. You have to go cheap somewhere. I'm leaning back towards having a gun in there though.

I was thinking of having Watson in the WFB but yeah gonna be tough to decide

Just made a team with both Keighran and Brown in the half. It allows me to start with a few guns, some mid priced potential keepers.

Cook(c)
Fifita TPJ
Murray Stimson Hess
Keighran Brown
Capewell Lomax
Turbo Sivo(or any base player) Drinkwater

Macca, Papali'i Jr, BS9, Egan(TLT)
Haas, Ravalawa, Garrick, Allan(could go FB if starting)

10K ITB

Obviously no cover in the halves so could chuck Watson in for Macca to cover hlf and wfb that would leave 119K

Thoughts on Shaun Lane at the Eels?

I really enjoyed owning him last year, great player to watch. And when given decent minutes on the edge scored very well and based on that is well unders. The problem is he scored a lot of tries. Does he keep that up at Eels? Could do but not without risk.

Pete "Badintel" Badel reporting that Kahu is in talks with Cowboys for immediate release to play FB.

I would probably put kahu at centre and hampton fb.

I’d be devastated if Kahu left I’m a big fan of his

The other concern is if Cleary names Egan round 1, will he name him round 2? Cleary did a lost of tinkering last year.

Especially at hooker. Prior to Farah arriving there was no job security there.

I like him, hes a good fella. But hed be playing reserve grade for us this year, so if he can go play NRL up north, im happy for him.

Oh mate completely understand and I don’t blame him one bit. Just one of those things with footy unfortunately

What does the cowboys backline look like anyway?

Hampton
MacDonald
Kahu
Opacic 
Feldt

??

Well fuck.

I've just realised that the Melbourne Good Beer Week gala session that I have a ticket for is the first Friday of the season.

I'll be drinking a reasonable amount from 5pm onwards.

Drunken trading/team tinkering that early in the season is going to be very costly.

I think o’neill is ahead of opacic

If it worked for Verbal last season, it might work for you this year.

Why does team planner not work for me now in ‘big look’ when I type in a players name?

If they are buying Jahu, I assume it's to play fullback, and probably goal kick.

As a cowboys fan I really hope not, Kahu has lost all leg drive, lateral movement at speed and tackle busting abilities after the injuries he’s sustained. Not a bad player in his day but his best is definitely behind him and that’s why he can’t make the broncos starting team. I’m in favour of Hampton at 1 but it seems the staff either don’t fancy him there or have other plans for him.

I'd be surprised if any NRL team was guarenteeing Kahu a fb gig, for reasons Kalkadoon posted. Maybe he's going to play centre. Badel is notoriously wrong about info
