Laird has said Smith will be taking all the kick-ins and will be playing on at any opportunity.  ??? How am I going to fit this guy in aswell!??  ::)
I personally have just went Laird to Smith

Williams, Newman, McGrath, Smith, Roberton, Clark (Burgess, Hore)

Holy hell.  Wonder how many of this have something similar only to reverse changes back to Laird, Whitfield/Lloyd, Williams right before round 1 starts, lol.
Hahahaha the more I look at it the more I like it!!!

In one way, it looks tempting.. in another way, it could 1 or 0 keepers.. a lot of trades needed

The more I look at it the more I hate it. Starting 3 of them is asking for trouble, but starting 5? No thank you my good sir.

Tell me why. Missed 12 games in 10 years. 6/10 years over 81, including 2x 87 avg and 94 avg.
Was injured early in JLT 1 but scored 10 in 12% game time. Just went and had 23 at 80% with 11 contested possies, probably a ton in SC if I'm honest. Playing his true defensive position, won't have to be thrown around anymore like a used condom.

Only 260k, don't see any reason why he can't make a reasonable 150k plus he has genuine ability to go 80+

I was just commenting on your love for a cold beverage or several, not the HT pick.  8)

Methinks recency bias is about the only reason Michael Hurley is in only 2% of teams.

I could understand... 8%.  But 2%?  Jamie Macmillan is in more teams.

Michael Hurley is good at lots of facets of the game but not very good at any of them. Frustrating player imo

MacMillan banged out 136 last week

I'm surprised he isn't in 20% of teams...

Hurley is an interesting one. Dominated 2017 and the start of 2018 but then went to poo. Did he go more lockdown? And if so is that changing this year?

With Daniher back forward, and Stringer looking excellent, Hooker could go back to defence and free up Hurley. He was locked into my team until Hooker's injury. I wouldn't expect massive scores from him early but once Hooker's back Hurley could be a nice upgrade target.

6-6-6 or whatever you want to call it - that should help him.  Less little floaters down back.  Let the big man get some cheapies!!

4 out of 18 kick ins tonight were played on. Think everyones predictions of huge additional points are looking a little overzealous now.

Is that a one off though? Havent seen the stats but from the games I've watched it looked like they were playing on more often than not

Definitely interesting. IIRC there was a stat in the womens which showed a huge increase in play-ons, and the first few JLT games seemed to be suggesting the same? Could be wrong, will have to see what happens over the next few days.
