He’s priced at 375k, probs 30-50k to awkwardly priced to take the punt.

Probably risky trade, have to imagine he falls asleep soon

I do prefer him as a fullback in real NRL though.

The big question that will define fantasy seasons. To Haas or not to Haas

Haas, Cook, Smith, McInnes, Taumalolo and Bateman are all going to average 60+ in non injury affected games, and are all going to score 55+ most weeks which is passable for a captain. I see Taumalolo with the highest ceiling(most damaging runner) and Smith with the highest floor(80 minute every week and touches the ball more than any player in the comp). You can basically pick any one of these guys as your captain and you are going to have a similar outcome over a 25 week season.

The difference from last season is Haas didn't have his "floor" game like everyone else - Cook 29 backing up from Origin(average 64 without that game), McInnes injury affected 9(average 65 without that game), Taumalolo injury affect 17(average 64 without that game), Bateman injury affected 20(average 62 without that game), Smith 42 in one of his worst career games 7 missed tackles and a penalty(average 63 without that game)

The question that remains; can Haas keep it up
We go back to Cameron Smith's 2013 season for the last time someone managed to average 70+

Smith managed to average 70.8 in 21 games with the following incredible year:
0 injury affected games. Smith was subbed 3 times and missed a combined 15 minutes of game time the entire season. However an extra 18 minutes of game time was picked up due to golden point games
7 penalties and 8 errors from the entire season. For a player that touched the ball more than 2100 times that season and made 909 tackles those ratios are incredible
An effective tackle percentage of 96.4%. Not only was Smith making a high volume of tackles with over 43 a game, he was missing a very low volume
81 successful shots at goal, a stat category that Haas is unable to replicate

It took almost a perfect season from the best player in the world for an average above 70. Not only is Haas not close to the player Smith was, he doesn't have as many categories to score in

Personally I am in team no Haas, but I'll be watching from behind the couch every Friday night until he is in my team

Luciano has a guaranteed role in the team. Rudolf played more than 50 minutes for the first time last week.

If I had Rudolf, I'd happily play him, but trading him in right now is a massive risk

Good news fantasy coaches, Harvey Norman to the rescue again! Yet another injury crisis will result in some extra trades to those that need it. Coaches will receive an extra trade this week if they have 3 injured players in their squad. If you have 4 or more injuries, you'll receive an additional two trades. Good luck all!!

*Disclaimer: I am not glorifying Edwards hurting his hamstring, just stating that due to this, possibly Crichton plays FB

Wouldn't Aekins come in?  Especially if Whare is out again.
