SoylentGreen wrote:So who's better value - Knight or Friend?

I can't afford both. Friend has been in pretty much all iterations of my team, but Knight gives me quality FRF cover (as opposed to relying on a Musgrove/JTB emergency)

Friend and it's not particularly close

Half of Stagg's 80 minute centre scores are 32 or less.

Exclude games where he scored 2 tries and his average is 33.

Basically he has to kick a lot of goals or score a lot of tries to be worth it. He has a low floor so you have to expect a bunch of scores in the 20 to go with the 60+ that will pop up from time to time.

I'd rather Burns or one of the 2nd row options for that price range

@sets @arsendragon please open your PM’S and join the Leagues ASAP.

Anyone else rolling the dice on the Leilua bros to cause havoc and rack up the points on the right side?

Host or Lawrie?

I'm warming to picking Emre Guler in my 18-21. One to watch this year.

You'll find Luciano is quite popular here

Joey is less popular, but still a few people around considering him.

Cue the calls for Blake Lawrie to be added to teams ASAP

Could give Kerr a bench spot to take up the Sims 30ish minutes.
Guess we will know on Tuesday, Tariq would have been 'BREAKING' news
Love the Pun

With Vaughan, Lawrie, Graham, Merrin, Host, Ford, Frizell, TSims they are still more than covered. Add to that Kerr, Blacker and when McInnes comes back I don't think anyone in that pack averages more than 40-45 apart from Vaughan. So no real winners.

Kerr is listed out rd 1-3 from All Star game injury otherwise I think was chance to make bench before this

Bet me to it, see above

Luciano yes. The Warriors defence was embarrassing so no read on whether Joey worth it yet

Anyone considering Herman Ese'ese if he gets the 13 jersey? Set for a big season.

Barnett is favourite no?

I'm amazed Burns is being talked up as a no questions asked gun on here, when he's actually an expensive punt. Yes, he loves his slapsies, and he might do well, but he's played about a dozen games in his career. At the same price, Leilua has fantasy pedigree and season after season of terrorising defences. There's also another 500k centre in Burns's own team that nobody is talking about who has a hell of a lot more fantasy pedigree, but everyone's going Burns and nobody's going Roberts - it looks like a living lecture on behavioural biases (or the Holland Effect). Guy scored over 40 three times in nine last year, never mind his injury problems. Don't let me stop you though.

In fairness Burns is priced at 34 and has an average of 45 in his eight injury unaffected starts at centre so Roberts is a bizarre comparison, especially considering Souths left edge has Murray, Walker, Mitchell and Burns (ie most of the traffic will go that way) so I can't see his run metres or tackle busts going down when he'll be seeing plenty of ball and a lot of tries down that side. Also worth noting that last season he forced Greg Inglis to move to right centre so you can see why people would get excited.

You can also talk about injury risk but is it much more of a risk than Leilua who played 9 games last year? At the very least they would absolutely have to be in the same conversation on cut priced keeper centres

Luciano for sure. Joey not too sure at the moment

O’brien loves big Herman. Herman started at lock in the trial on the weekend with Guerra shifting to the bench after being named to start

Hopefully will have some idea for you boys soon when I see 1st grade Physio

Even if Herman gets lock he’d score well but it’s likely short term

Would you rather

A:Cook, Brailey, Musgrove

B:Yeo, Williams, Knight

Option B would have Lolo as captain
