Cheapie backs play 80 minutes and most of them will score a try at some point to kick start price rises. They won't kill you if they score a 20 odd, even the true guns do that from time to time.

Rookie halves next to a non dominant kicker normally have a solid floor and a good ceiling. We have seen plenty of these over the years turn into keepers in their first season(Hodkinson, DCE, Reynolds, Hunt, SJ, Cleary). Below the backs on my pecking order because in this position a score in the 20s will kill your week

Rookie hookers generally have a hard time adjusting to first grade. Pace of the ruck, defensive patterns and controlling the attack makes it very difficult for a young hooker to move to keeper tier. They usual end up getting rotated or lose some minutes throughout the year. Most peak at a 40 odd average and need to be moved on. Solid floor while starting.

All the analysis says players starting on the edge get big minutes. Similar to hooker rookie edge players are likely to peak as mid rangers, however we have had exceptions (Crichton the most notable).

Rookie props normally bit crappy minutes off the bench and slow burn over 2-3 seasons before they are even playable in your fantasy team. As always there are a few exceptions (Haas)

I know we get in trouble for posting teams, just posting my Mr's team as I think she has made some pretty bold picks.

Just coming back to this. All good points and I mostly agree, but for the first few weeks do positions really matter? I mean if you spend your money wisely and your team includes a guy priced at 55 scoring 60, a guy priced at 40 scoring 50 and a guy priced at 17 scoring 30, does it really matter what positions the points come from? I would have thought at least initially, as long as your guys are scoring well above their price it doesn't matter if that score is 30 or 40 or 50.

Charges against Josh Reynolds have been dropped.

Will be completely free to play (whether he makes the top 17 or not is another question)
