There are essentially zero edge starters that play less then 60 minutes

Do you have a macro set up to post this once every 24hrs? I feel like you may as well at this point.

I think I’ll stay clear of Leota, BMM and Ofa.

What about Joffa if starting at 13?

I meant that he would be the 2RF getting replaced -ie not playing 80.

Something that hasn't really been discussed, but is likely to offer great value this season, is the hooker for Manly. All 3 options look decent and would give you a hooker that can be played in the halves.

a) Foran - At $599k can he be the next Hunt? Lots of tackles, big minutes, kicks in play and involved in attack. Potential to give you an underpriced dual half, getting 50+ per game. Even if someone subbed on at hooker, as a senior player likely moves to the halves to finish the game ahead of a Schuster, Croker or Cust

b) Cust - $540k - Has looked decent in limited games, even next to ball hog DCE. Could own hooker until Fainu gets back, then even get some change from swapping them.

c) Croker - At $307k a starting hooker hasn't been this cheap since the great Harry Grant. May score ok at that price point, but not sure he will be up to the task, so may not hold the spot for long.

Twal owns the 13

Liddle is 304k?

Won't be Foran, he and DCE have both confirmed that.

Lone Scouts top 5 bargains!

Not getting the lack of love for Leota, while his other middle starters play big minutes, he has a high PPM and his minutes will increase this season from 33 average last year, to likely 40-45 this year, with great job security.

Spencer Leniu is much more talented and I expect him to have the starting spot by mid season

I have 4/5, no way I’m going Milford (isn’t he going to miss the start of the season). What about all those cheap Edges?

Just been having a look at last year's stats and its a bit more interesting than previous years

90% of 2nd rowers still played 60+ minutes, and 65% played 80+ minutes. But more seems like a few more got rests than usual.

South Sydney played short stint 2nd rowers a bit, I assume related to how they did their interchange around Cam Murray playing edge and middle.
For that reason, if there is any starting edge to have minute concerns over, its going to be Koloamatangi

Aidan Guerra played heaps of low minute games, only averaged 58 minutes as 2nd row starter. I guess he was last year's Frank Winterstein.

Ben Te'o was the worst though, played a max of 55 minutes from his 5 games as starter.

Yeo and Cleary named as co-captains

Wouldn't rule out Luciano or so the rumour goes...

Someone on here said Hetho played second row last season for Warriors.... my mate owned him so watched closely and said he played middle not edge and he won’t buy him again...

If Koala starts and Benji is on the bench that’s good for Koala.
