I think he's talking about the impact on Sorensen?

Glenn has experience and Su'a is another promising backrower but Fifita is definitely on another level compared to them. I'd be confused if they don't start their best option. Gillett's minutes won't be reduced as much as people think as well IMO, he's had a lot of time to rehab his injury. Yeah it's serious but I don't think he's a bad option to start with even though I don't have him in my team

Think he just got the Fifitas mixed up for a second, no biggy.

It is a deadset toss up between Glenn and Fifita for the left edge imo. Siebold might lean to Glenn to start since we have so much inexperience. Unleash DFifita in the second half of the game may be the go.. but yeah no one really knows

Only just coming back from off season surgery.
He was re-signed last year on the expectation he'd probably lock up the left edge starting spot this season.
Got some decent minutes in the trial but for the moment it seems like he's been pushed down the list by DFifita.
Still, no reason he doesn't still become the gun he was expected to be.

Good to see Shaggy making teams after the weekend. I thought it was confirmed that Egan has missed out to Katoa ?

I might choose Taupau over A. Fifita. I was 100% Fifita until Manly lost their bench props Paseka & Tanginoa so imo Taupau will be playing 60+ mins. Also Des likes playing his forwards for big minutes & gauging by the trial Des is looking to play an attacking style so Taupau should get plenty of offloads. I know Fifita is estimated to play big mins due to an inexperienced pack but in the Sharks front row they have 3 props that have big motors (Fifita, Prior, Woods) so the inexperienced pack argument I think won't be valid. It was also noticeable that in 2018 when Woods joined the Sharks the minutes of A. Fifita reduced.

Could definitely make a case for both. 12k apart, 58 and 59 BE for both. Capable of BIG scores. Fifita 22% owned, Taupau 14% owned. Neither play Origin. I think they will both do very similar this year. Very hard decision, its a toss of the coin for me.
EDIT - on the above that i have stated. Both have some high BE's, with a poor game 1 that BE could go even higher and could lose some money over the first 4-5 rounds while they kick into gear.

Had 32 in a half of footy and running next to Munster so could see a lot of work down his edge. I have seen quite a few people jump off Stimson over the last few days but i see him hitting 45 each week and well underpriced. Stimson was my first pencilled in as soon as the season finished last year.
Second player in team behind Murray for me this year. Not sure why you wouldn't have him.
He played like a spud in the trial. Just a trial, and that 32 points quoted means as a potato he can still be good for Fantasy. He is staying in my team, tuber or not.

Besides Capewell/Nikora, Stimson, Murray who are locks in all teams created by most people, there isn't that many realistic options until TLT divulges its secrets
TPJ (injured), Radley + Twal + IPap (unknown role until TLT - IPap with Burr influence), Matterson (concussion problems??). JFH is one I like the look of. Taupau could get way more minutes with Paseka and Tanginoa getting injured in trial
I would need to see JFH fixing up his missed tackles before even looking at him.
Yep, it's just the way he plays, goes hard out which is great as a team man, just not for Fantasy.

I think Watson will still average around 40 odd points, but you'll get what you pay for
I look at it this way - Pearce and Keary do all the directing and set up at the chooks and Teddy scores well so there's no reason for Watson not to score well - he just needs to inject himself.

Will Fifita definitely not play origin though?
