    Re: Arrow to Souths

    Souths offered the Titans an unnamed winger (assuming AJ or Gagai) but the Titans countered by saying they wanted Turgess or C. Murray in exchange....well it looks like Arrow could be staying at the
    Titans.

    They would be getting off light with Turgess, but its not like a trade in the NBA, they would need the player to be willing to uproot and leave to play for them.

    I’m hearing behind the scenes Arrow wants out and he and his management are frustrated.

    Of course he wants out. But why would the Titans accept a winger they don?t need for their best forward?

    NRL desperately needs a transfer/trade window.

    How does that work out of curiosity?

    And also, when NRL teams offer swaps, is it with the players consent? Or do they just get told they're moving lol

    Well that settles that then if he stays fit, I’ll be picking Best and hopefully Mbye plays hooker meaning Talau plays centre for the Tigers.

    Hopefully Crossland starts at 6 as well.

    Mann will be the 6 - at least for the first 5 weeks depending how well Knights are going - Crossland has been injured most of pre-season so Mann has the jump.

    Looks like they have reset player scores for the new year. No new prices yet.

    Does anyone have any 2019 stats on George Williams (Wigan Wariors)?

    I found this from a pre-season trial game in 2018 (46 fantasy points)

    You can go here and it just give you the totals per player - https://www.superleague.co.uk/stats

    You then need to work out how many games he played. And manually work out points from that.

    Not sure why the SL stats page is missing important information. Dogs bloody breakfast.

    This problem happened last year with John Batemen haha. It was also unclear whether those stats include or do not include challenge cup games.

    Superleague stats is a night mare, especially around not listing games played

    Rugby league project says Williams played 32 Super League games and 1 Challenge Cup game in 2019, butthey also think he scored 15 tries, but www.superleague.co.uk/stats thinks he scored 14
    So trying to match things up is impossible.

    WIlliams in 2019 scored more total points (1402) than Bateman in 2018 (1380) , but played an extra 5/6 games.

    Best guess based on those stats is an average for Williams of around 44 compared to 51 for Bateman, but super league stats doesn't include kick metres, so Williams would actually have scored more than that
    He made 107 'attacking kicks' last year

    Best guess is that Williams will be priced a little less than Bateman was, and given he is unlikely to score NRL tries at the same rate that he got super league ones, I am going to put him firmly in the do not touch basket.

    With the Raiders makeup I see him just slotting straight into that Sezer type role. Wighton needs a level head around him to be able to play his running game.
