No worries mate, have deleted it for you. : )

Is Aetkins > Shibasaki too sideways or should I just hold Aetkins ??? Cheers in advance

I've got 3 of my EMG bench playing in the first game tonight, and 5 of my 17 in the second game.

Break evens Shib 16 vs Aek 29 (approx) & about the same price.
Shiba is a dual position player which is always nice, don't think any trees are in danger of being pulled up but if he keeps hitting 30-35 he should make a bit of cash.
Aekins is not going to make cash and is going to lose his job.
Watkins also an option for a few more $

Cheers mate yeah I like that Shiba is a DPP so I may as well pull the trigger.

Also Aekins getting replaced last week, could happen again today. I'd make the switch.

hahahaha I'm starting to feel sorry for ol' Joe now! Doesn't deserve this!

Got me thinking who the worst player in the NRL is though. Boyd and Blair always perform poorly compared to their pay packet.

Worst player... worst player... worst player...

I feel like Calen Aetkins will cop some shit tonight.
Hame Sele? Campbell Graham? Brad Parker? Lachlan Croker?

Tigers fans would tell you Robert Jennings.

So many below Stimson.

I suppose with Blake Ayshford retiring end of last year, the throne has been vacated.

Based on recent performance it's Lomax and not particularly close

@mattnz I just deleted your post as well, that quoted ST96s just so we don't cause people undue panic

But Lomax ran the most metres in R1... 10.1kms!

Which kinda proves what a garbage stat that is. NRL really needs some publicly available advanced metrics rather than just measuring players by only big numbers.

I don't think it's fair to call players the worst in the NRL. Especially as sometimes they do a job required that might not be appreciated by fans but is by teammates and coaches.

Someone like Blair was overrated and they got shat on so much he became underrated. He's probably just correctly rated about now.

Who is the most correctly rated player in the NRL?
