Uele has been given a 2.1 point fanhub tax. He's defo Fafita 2.0 but priced at 39 he'd need to start and get about 50 minutes I reckon to make it worthwhile. Could happen though especially with Fifita's knee thing.

What do you think about MoFo? The Titans appear to have a real lack of middles. I could see him starting and getting 50-55 minutes and scoring high 40's or maybe 50 if he jagged a couple of tries (zero last year).

Thanks for the feedback mate much appreciated. Yes Hess is an interesting one and a POD, I have heard he’s likely to get a second row spot with Cooper having retired I believe (correct me if I’m wrong on that I may have imagined it somehow somewhere lol). So would it be Hess and Wright in the back row? Even if Cooper is still playing I would have Hess ahead of Wright and you’d think Hess would get 55-60mins.

On Williams I’m confident he will play 50mins, concerns around Fifita in games or a concussion which are both likely to be happening at times could also see Williams even getting 55mins I reckon.

Really good point you make on Friend, even if he only makes say 70-75k it’s not a big fail and it allows you to get a balanced team and spend more in other positions.

The only fear I have is I was burnt by Friend last year and I was burnt by Burns too, if they both burn me again I may never ever pick them again!

I think for MoFo this is his break out year. Going to establish himself as one of the best props in the competition. Solid stats base aswell with a 45 average when starting prop.

Uele is going to be the beneficiary of the extra minutes rather than Williams IMO. The kid seems freakishly hard to tackle

Friend
Haas (C) Carrigan
Fifita Garner Leilua
Cleary Mann
Burns Milne
Papy Isaako Starford/Leleisioau

Hess Brimson Koroisau Grant

Just looked into Merrin's super league stats.

its a bit more comparable for forwards as opposed to backs.
He averaged 33 tackles and 100m a game, with 3 TBs and 2 offloads a week as well.

Averaged over 50 easily.

Priced at 40, he should easily get past that (assuming he starts at lock)

Quite like it actually, it's not as mattnz as thought it would be

If there's a hint that's how he'll go in trials he'll be very popular, but how do we explain away his 2017/2018 stats? Different team/coach/WAGS??

lol, some that are mainstream ideas here are actually serious PODs Garner 1%, Leilua 3%, Carrigan 1%, Friend 7%, Burns 2%, Rudolph 2%
