Agree but then round 1 there always seem to be about 5 rookies named, that is still to happen

Young Penrith half Matt Burton promoted to Top 30 squad https://www.penrithpanthers.com.au/news/2020/01/18/burton-earns-panthers-promotion/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf

May get a look in if Luai doesn’t perform or gets injured

I started reading their articles etc close to the end of the season last year, I'd say their one of the better podcasts for fantasy (speaking of, what's happening to the fanatics podcast this year).

They've done a fair bit of off-season content which is nice

Ahahahahah

Maybe.

First I have seen of their site. I like most of their analysis of players to watch, but wouldn’t consider 3 of the players they are recommending, Fitzgibbon, Marsters and Crichton. Don’t see enough upside for the risk on any of them

Agree that they aren't good options, but Crichton definitely has upside. He had a season with the second highest average in fantasy and has cracked the ton

The issue is that Crichton hasn’t been favoured by the coach at all last season. You could easily get more of the same. Very different to someone like David Fifita where that risk isn’t there for the same kind of upside.

I believe that part of their analysis was based on fallen guns specifically - ones who had a poor 2019 and high average in 2018 and whether they could return to 2018 form

I find it hard to pick players based on a lack of form the previous season compared to other seasons. It’s how you end up with a dud like Jesse Bromwich.

I'd be very interested in Crichton if I knew he'd start every week and play close to 80.

I expect Robinson to fiddle around with him and aubbs again this year though..

Ballsy choice that could pay off for some.

As mentioned by Matt, D Fifita seems a safer pick. He will be on his natural right edge, full pre-season there, and an actual half back inside him. Leave out D Fifita at your own risk

I agree in regards to D Fifita, he is hard to ignore after posting some massive scores at the tail end of the 2019 season.
In my early drafts it looks like that I'll be having at least 3 Broncos in my team. Haas, DFifita, and Isaako. With Croft potentially joining the squad in the early rounds if he posts some solid scores

As long as crichton is starting he might be on ny team because he might play 50 minutes he will get some good points

Yup, huge upside with Crichton just needs the minutes. 80 minute role and he will be straight into my team

How the fuck is Blayke Brailey priced at $400k?

He averaged 18.13 from 15 games last season and should have come in at about $270k

Fuck you Failhub

You’re joking, surely, I nearly just fell off the lounge!

Fuck looks like I’m already over 200k over what I initially anticipated and we still have 12 teams to come.

Tbh I don't really mind if the "gimme" cows are a little more expensive than they should be. Tougher the better imo!

That's what I was thinking...

To me it makes sense that if you’re discounting players who played less games with injuries that you’re penalizing players who are very obviously going to have expanded roles. He’s still good value.

I’ve a feeling Bradman Best won’t be low 300k’s either and that he will be closer to 400k, hope I’m wrong.
