Anyone looking at James Maloney?

Maranta isn't in our best 17 so it's not really opening a spot to secure for anyone, that said though, reed is supposed to be out for the first month, so it might get Anderson a few games, but he'd prolly have to play out of his skin to force a reshuffle.

Bit of interesting / strange news

Oh and I keep forgetting FPN is at the Raiders haha

Well morale must be at on all time high for Rabbitohs..

What is more embarrassing, being chewed out for your performance that year in front of your team or knowing the guy that did it will be bedding your mother later?

Hello all. First post. Have tried to put together a rough estimate of averages to see if my team is capable of the 850+ scores required to stay in the running early.

Smith 120
Seggy 55

Graham 50
JTurbo 45
NAS 35

Fensom/Surgess 55
Cooper 55
Rochow 45
Carter/Edwards 35

DCE 55
JRey 40
Hastings 35

Lafai 35
Hurrell 35

Mansour 40
Gordon 35
Copley 30

That's a total of 800, but basically I expect that most of those players are capable of going 5 better. Are any of those numbers completely unrealistic?

Few seem a little high to me

Hi mate and welcome, this is something i like to do and assign predicted avgs to players at the start of the new year and i think anything over 800 is a good start to the season

NAS at 35 i think is a tad over rated, perhaps Jturbo ar 45 as well because of the extra support that manly pack this year

I think JReynolds could be good for 40-45, and i like that pick

gordon could go quite a bit better than the 35, same with Mansour

Anyone looking at Cook? Should be the main 9 now at the Rabbits?

He is priced as much as Segeyaro and Peats, he could certainly be an option. However his scores are inflated by a try in all his games and there are questions over whether he willg et the full 80 minutes.

yeh, the Rabbits seemed pretty intent on giving McInnes minutes last season when Luke was there, so i doubt he'll be left out of the loop for Cook's sake.

I knew there was someone they had as a back up. This ^^^^^ This is why you should steer clear. ^^^^^

Who are the bench players for Penrith, Parramatta, Warriors that if listed come TLT would mean less mins for Peats, Segeyaro and Luke?

Peats - nobody. He played 80 even with De Gois there

Luke and Seggy also tend to be close to 80 minute players, its only coming back from injury that they share.

I guess Leuleui will be the bench utility at the Warriors.
Panthers might have Martin or Will Smith or some utility in the bench

Wonder if Kaysa Pritchard will be back in the picture? I doubt it, but he would've been last season if not for his season ender in the 9s. Think peats will play 80 regardless. Especially with watmoughs 80 days behind him.

Can someone tell me what these were worth each in fantasy please?
Tackle Bust
Offload
Kick Metres (points per metre?)
Conversion/Penalty Kick
