Absolutely. Morgan has always been a great option and the Lolo edge talk only started last week.

For me it's the KM's he picks up that means he should improve. His TA's and LBA's should improve as well theoretically, and they were very average last year.

Thoughts on which of these options are better

(1) Radley (bench) + Vaughan + Edwards

(2) Whitehead/I Pap + Fifita + Kahu

Already have Taupau and other 2 WFB are Watson + CNK

Storm confirm Drinkwater out for 3 to 4 months. Disappointing, was really keen to see how he went this season.

Tigers v Warriors and Penrith v Parra stats added

Remaining games will happen over the next day or 2.

I am not planning on doing Manly vs Roosters because there were so few first graders playing.

I'm keen on people's opinions on Pearce vs SJ. Have had Pearce in most iterations of my team since before launch day but getting cold feet. I enjoy watching Johnson as a player and would ordinarily start him without question but this year is (obviously) different. If both was not an option, what would you preferences?

The NRL obviously have these stats and the ability to put them up on the website as they did it before? Are they intentionally trying to make things hard for fans?

The new Panthers video is Dylan Edwards and Tyrone Phillips..

For anyone who didn't watch the Warriors v Tigers trial on Saturday, Blake Ayshford seems to be converting himself into a 2RF. I don't think it's fantasy relevant and it sounded a terrible idea when he mentioned it before kick-off but he actually did OK on limited mins. Put in a couple of decent tackles close to the line.

With each other?

Yeah, went alright with the ball as well.

Didn't he used to play with CLawrence in the centres for the Tigers? That's a pretty high CTR->2RF conversion rate. I reckon there might've been something in the 2014 Balmain water...

For week 2 of the trials they put the stats on the website, but then took them away a couple of days later.

I assume that didn't happen by accident, and someone deliberately removed stats access from the website. I have no idea why they would do that.

Yeah Codys or too much can become a problem. It's either bourbon or rum & coke mix can of bliss.

Ayshford actually outshone Rowdy for us for a season or two as well. Both were part of the Sheenius masterplan to play every single member of the 25 man squad in the Halves as well.

Most people getting on Morgan are doing so because of his scoring history with Te Maire Martin as his halves partner. In 2017 he averaged over 60 with TMM next to him (12 games including finals). Not expecting that level of performance, but 50+ would be great

Taumalolo's positioning is not part of the equation

bang on mate. Cheap, strong bourbon mixers.

Am sure Ayshford has the same mother as Richie McCaw

Meaney vs CNK?

Is Peats fantasy relevant this year? playing in a pretty decent pack and had a few issues with injury last yeah, I'm not really sold on any of the gun hookers this year
