Divide price by 14500 or view them on www.footystatistics.com

The biggest problem with fan forums is they always vastly overestimate the ability of young players and their chance of beating out an established first grader to a starting spot. it can happen, but not nearly as often as forums would think.

I am not sure if S Crichton talk came from a fan forum or not - but I am still not sure who misses out to let him in our of Whare and Naden (Naden I guess, but he went OK last year)

Yes this, fans tend to overestimate the abilities of anyone who is not playing at that particular point in time (i.e. injured players, young players, out of favour players) especially if the club is going through a rough patch or leading into a new season when memories are short

First saw Crichton mentioned on the NRL predicted teams - wasn't on their "official" list, but Jamie Soward reckons he should be there ahead of Whare.

if you have a look at Jamie Soward's predicted teams on nrl.com he is an absolute bandit for throwing a bunch of rookies into the team and ditching a bunch of established players. There is no doubt a few players will be bolters (and Crichton might be one of them) but we are going to have to wait for TLT

ps I would love Crichton to be a bolter

Well, there are people who still follow the Mole on twitter..

At least the Mole tends to make one outlandish claim at a time. Wacko sits on the fence so much he's got more splinters than a ninja turtle cosplay convention. Pretty sure I once saw a prediction from him that a player would definitely start, unless he's injured in which case he won't play or may come off the bench.
