I wouldn't touch him as he gets only 29 minutes.

"We are playing in the humidity of Townsville in round one and there are potentially a couple of experienced players who won't play so we need someone like Macca in the group," Seibold said.
"This weekend Jake will start at nine and Macca will come from the bench and that is how I see it playing out for round one as well. We'll give those guys an opportunity this week and see how they go in their respective roles."
Also goes into length about the whole Coates v Isaako dilemna... I do not see how that is even being tossed up? Surely Isaako gets the nod?

Would people actually be considering Coates if he started, his scores are pretty crap
16 with try, 28 named at wing (but watching highlights played CTR, and stats back this up with 22 tackles which is completely unsustainable for winger) and 9 at CTR - 2 80 min games and 1 90 min game

Most of the time I think it just depends on which players the club put up for media each week. Levi's turn to stand in front of the mics and you get 10 journos asking him questions and their articles filter out to the public over the next few days.
Obvs some history with him so plenty to write about
We get so much Broncos media because theyre a one team town, but also because the club is very open with their training sessions and always let media come down to watch

In townsville you have to sift through all the JT dick sucking before you get to any decent Cowboys news... and most the time Green is so bloody clueless he has no idea what he is even doing.

Thoughts on Fusitua as a POD? Read the recent article about his change to centre and thinking he might make a bit of quick cash playing outside Tohu and with a few extra tackles the centre position requires over wing.
Welcome mate!
I agree with what sajjos said. His stats are not great at Centre, albeit a small sample. I don’t know much about the Warriors, but personally feel SHerbert is a better Centre and Dave The Fus is a better winger. Would be interested in Warriors fans thoughts.

Interesting one to look at in hindsight, and to give our projections some perspective.
Was 600k, I think? (my site is wrong, it has their starting price this year as their starting price in 2019).
Averaged 50 from 65 mins in 2018 when starting at 2nd row, from 14 games, so solid sample size. Looked like someone who should repeat that in 2019, had his spot locked down for 80 mins, Eels on the up, all signs pointed to a good year.
Ended up averaging 42 from 77 mins in 2019. Cemented himself as a mid ranger.
Bit different this year as we are mostly looking at guys between 400k to 500k (so more room for cash generation without needing to put up keeper scores), but it will be interesting to look back and see who doesn't work out like we all expect. There are always a couple.
Yes I remember this, he was talked up as slightly under priced etc etc. I ended up going with JFH who was similar price after JFH killed it in one on the trials. He smashed out 50 odd tackles in a trial game. For me Lane relied on attacking stats to pump his score up, while JFH had better base stats. I ended up keeping JFH all season, although I almost traded him so many times.
Not sure if Hess and J Williams is a similar scenario this season. One relies on attacking stats the other has better base stats

I was going to agree with Hess being reliant on his attacking stats.
In 2018, when playing big mins at 2rf, he averaged 51 with 32 tackles and 101 metres. Decent base, and better than I expected tbh.
He needs the attacking stats to go from low 40's to 50, but that goes for every edge forward really. If Dave Fifita stops busting tackles and scoring tries he won't average higher than 40

I actually remember would you believe. Don't get me wrong, obviously you had more than one reason to pick him, you do your research well, and it was a good pick. You also posted at length about how one of your main reasons for choosing him was because you had several centres, some with dpp, and Xerrinpr, so you get to look at more than one players' scores before loopholing them. While some of us were doing the wait and see, you took the punt, and hats off to that, but don't kid yourself, that your preseason research and initial team selection process is any better than the guys on here who consistently finish 1000's of places higher. Could it not be that despite starting well your initial squads aren't balanced enough which is why they fade after a while, perhaps not enough money making, I don't know. I don't mean to sound narky, and I appreciate the ideas you add to the place. Haha, the more I write this, I offer it to you as a critique on how you might do better, even if it's from no expert like me.
Well if Matt wont respond to this (no surprises) I will. Great advice to Matt and everyone to be honest. The basics of fantasy are incredibly simple. Pick Value, make money, and in doing so score points. What comes next is what typically separates the men from the boys (including a lot of luck), but at the same time, people who overthink it from the start and don't get the basics right will already be out of contention.

Definite no for me. I had him for that short stint last year and spent the majority of my brief ownership trying to offload him.
Was it the presence of Farnsworth that caused a minor Host/Lawrie style debate at the time? If so, I thought Herb was the far better, dynamic player.
That said, Coates will be better this year for the run last year. Just not sure he'll have a fantasy friendly game.

I'm all for using most of the money you have available, in the early rounds you often need to do a double trade anyway and you can work it out money wise. Even so having a spare 50k can help jumping from one failed cheapie to one that you missed out on that scored well

For me cash reserve is a by-product of the team selection and not a deciding variable in the team selection.
Theoretically, having cash there should help with picking up of the better players in the 1st few rounds that you missed initially.

I always intend to have some $s left over for this reason but I never manage it. I usually have a failed mid pricer I can jump off though

That team is scarliy similar to my current iteration (number 694...)
I'm running Friend over the GOAT...probably gonna bite me on the backside, Friend will get busted and CS9 will bust out a couple of 65+ games and everyone will be burning their teams down to bring the almighty back in.
Cash reserves, I always thought it's better to have a bit of a war chest (not too crazy <100k) so you can jump on any cows that arrive in the first couple of rounds, without having to double trade to get the right player.
Just my humble opinion, and I'm no Fantasy Gun.

Agree with this totally. I have had one good start in 12+ years playing fantasy, but I always come home very strong. Scoring points at the start of the year is not as important as making cash
