How many weeks into the season before Tedesco starts wondering about how much better it would be to be paid big bucks by the Raiders to sit out injured?

Probably about as good a side as the raiders could name. Gonna be a rough start to the season. Also a rough middle and end to the season.

Tomkins didn't train today as both his hamstrings aren't right. So we could have Lolohea, Maumalo, Kata, Vete and Lisone playing with 3 NRL games between them

You think Eagles get stronger after losing Watmough and Stewart and replacing them with a bunch of journeymen props?

Fusitua's another one I might have expected to get the call, he must be hurt too. Starting Maumalo and Kata is a little worrying, especially when you consider the class that Newcastle have in the halves and centres. We should try to make sure only one of Vete or Lisone is on the field at any one time, otherwise we're too green up front.

I would expect Matagi to play ahead of Vete despite the squad numbering.

Yeah. Lilyman, Matulino and Matagi should be easy selections. We could go with three props on the bench with Henry to cover dummy half and back row, but I think we'd be more comfortable with Friend on the bench to cover Leuluai.

I think Lolohea was only picked because Fisiiahi and Fusitua are out.

Hello all. It's been over a decade since I last actively followed any type of football so it's probably time I gave it a second chance this season. Used to be a filthy Broncos supporter so I'll see how it goes. I'm mainly here for the cheap coke.

Lolohea's long term future is either at standoff or fullback, but he's not ready now. Getting him game time on the wing is a way of introducing him to the intensity of first grade without the responsibility of one of the key positions in the team. I wouldn't worry too much about the kicking, Tomkins and Leuluai are both capable of kicking on the last if Johnson isn't available.

In order to stockpile money for DCE, they had to let Watmough and Glenn Stewart go, and as a result Brett desperately wants out. Somehow Foran looks like he's escaping, and now they're cutting DCE loose? I'm just glad that the Matai/Warriors rumours are officially over now that they signed whatever is remaining in his shoulder to a deal.

While Matai's shoulder would've exploded on setting foot in Auckland it is concerning that we keep whiffing on all of our big name targets despite offering well over the going rate if you believe the reports. Pretty Canberra-esque on the free agent market since we signed Tomkins (other than Hoffman who others don't seem to rate as high as I do).

I doubt that were anywhere near Merrin. Taumololo was obviously close if McFadden and Doyle made the trip to Townsville to try to close the deal. And on Foran I don't think it was serious beyond that one tweet from Watson. I rate Hoffman, but we're also probably overpaying for a 30 year old with plenty of mileage. The same probably could have been said of Steve Price ten years ago, so I'm willing to see what happens.

The thing about Hoffman is he know how to run a line. People might put that down to Cronk/Smith but I've watched him for a while and he's crafty especially attacking the tryline. I doubt many forwards have scored as many tries as he has year on year, and tryline attack is an area where we often look bereft of ideas.

Cronk and Hoffman played on different sides of the field. Last year Hoffman looked good with Ben loving Roberts as his half. Mannering looked like our most dangerous back rower in the red zone, which was surprising because he can be a worry with ball in hand anywhere else on the field. Moving him to lock this year removes any chance of him trying to do anything stupid in that regard.

And then of course lose to bottom-dwelling teams a week later. Picks - 1. Rabbitohs 2. Storm 3. Roosters 4. Cowboys 5. Panthers 6. Sea Eagles 7. Eels 8. Bulldogs 9. Warriors 10. Broncos 11. Tigers 12. Knights 13. Dragons 14. Sharks 15. Titans 16. Raiders
