What do you like in Leilua? He’s fairly priced and he doesn’t mind a low score either. Risky at 500k

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.

Stats can say anything.

Burns Holland scored over 40 3 times in 9 games last year (3 in 7 if you exclude injury games) and averaged 44 in games he wasn't injured

Leilua scored under 20 3 times in 9 last year, and averaged 36 in games he wasn't injured

A lot of people who are considering burnsHolland are worried about his dodgy team - but if he is fit his fantasy pedigree is pretty good - he has a very good floor for a centre

If you get Leilua you are basically betting on him repeating his 2016 form. But not repeating his 2015, 2017, 2018 or 2019 form, because none of those 4 years were good enough to make him valuable.

All this CTR pondering is a case of too much time not enough concrete (it is for me anyway). There is no clear cut choice and with the absence of a solid team list it's pure speculation...I will end up with the same two as everyone else

A:Cook, Brailey, Musgrove

B:Yeo, Williams, Knight

Option B would have Lolo as captain

Probably means I won’t VC Taumalolo as he’s been in and out of my drafts

Because I will probably want to keep tinkering on Friday, I'll probably just VC the best player I have in the first game of the year (I should probably look it up to see who it is, but as of this moment I don't actually know)

*checks team*

Just realised i have no players in the first game of the season. How disappointing.

Though I was pondering double gun halves..

Was that 55mins?

Milchcow wrote:

Same here.

Moses the only one I am considering, and even then I think I want Cleary instead.

From the dogs, maybe JMK at halfback if he is fit enough to start round 1.

Could always VC Carty from the early friday game

Played big minutes, typically 60+. Basically Surgess kind of minutes.
