768 starting props in 2019

168 times a starting prop played under 40 mins

38 times less than 30 mins

*this isn't accounting for injuries.

Most of us though Edwards and Holland would be good picks last year

While everyone here is pretty good at picking a base team to do well, timing trades and planning for byes/origin (and there are a good number of players here who are exceptional at these things) there is no doubt a there degree of arse involved for the vast majority of us

Two of my best picks last year were AFB & David Fifita

AFB - I was $5k short of Kapow so picked him
David Fifita - had been hanging round 400-500 spot for about five weeks and it was giving me the shits so I took the riskiest option

Also I didn't pick either Edwards or Holland but did pick Keighran, Host, Sele and Rava over Sivo

Didn't get a constant run at his preferred position due to having to cover injuries. From round 18 onwards (I assume this is when Verills began starting at hooker), he averges 48.8. If you take out round 24 score where he only played 26 mins (possibly rested?) he averages 52.7 in 6 games. He is priced at 38.

Worth having a punt?

Wasn't his preferred position actually hooker but Robbo turned him into a lock?

How many less than 50 minutes? (or perhaps the reverse, how many play more than 50 minutes)

I'd say 40-45 mins would cover most starting props, other than the big hitters like Tolman/Haas/Fifita/Taupau and a few others

The other important thing is who gets the sub 40 minute appearances? Is it spread around evenly (caused by stuff like HIA/injury/specific game circumstances) or is consistently the same players each week.

With second rowers, there was only 1 guy who was consistently playing lower minutes as a starter (Frank Winterstein) everyone else only did it a couple of times, and was mostly injury related.

Hess, Cartwright, Guerra, Tapine, Leilua.

If you could only get one, who is it to be?
So far I am on Leilua, but I am always open to contrary opinions.
