UPDATE: Club says it’s a sprain, no concerns Haas won’t be fit by Round 4.

what's the source on this?

Not guaranteed but read a few articles, even his Sharks player bio says "might just find a home at fullback in 2021. Very strong, very fit, a player who could be about to reach his peak and become an elite player over the next few seasons".

Also this: https://www.perthnow.com.au/sport/rugby-league/tracey-ready-for-no1-spot-at-sharks-ng-s-2047513

Nothing concrete but just reading between the lines.

Just realised I can put Crichton on the bench, and then not have to worry about getting BMM purely for his DPP, who I was never that confident in. Can grab Lodge/Koala instead.

Why does it feel so strange starting with a gun on the bench? It's the same scoring team either way!

Matt Moylan talking about Connor Tracey at fullback

Starts at 2:25

Hard to get an idea of how Tracey will go at fullback. 80 minute stats in the halves are goos, and he's cheap.

But waiting to see if he actually gets named there before doing anything

Seems to be one of the only cashcow fullbacks I would be comfortable playing. Will get DPP too, and serviceable for 6-7 rounds at least.

No way I can say that about Simonsson, Moylan, Niu.

Only until SJ returns to 5/8 and Moylan then goes to FB.

I think Tracey at FB this season would shape up like Kennedy at FB last season for me. I’d brush him thinking Moylan will be back soon, except Moylan keeps breaking down, so I end up missing a solid cow.

I have been wondering why most people had him in their top 13, he’s been at 14 for me since the start. On TLT if Koala and Hola get named at starting Edge then they too become DPP.

SJ on track to return earlier than expected according to NRL physio

So I would consider Tracey a trap

Tracey is also shit at fantasy.

That makes two of us!

Maybe I should bring him in

He reeled in people good with his first game though.

Yeah, at the Rabbits. Been a potato ever since, weird.

In 80 minute games has averaged 44, just lacking opportunity, not talent

To be fair Cam Smith was always a Bronx fan growing up... Maybe he will end up there

If Elliott gets suspended over hooking up with his former team mates missus, there will be a tonne of minutes available in the Bulldogs pack to start the season.

Elliott, Thompson, RFM would all be out to start the season and no Tolman (averaged 60 minutes last season). Could see them doing something like Waddell edge and Jackson in the Harris style big minute lock role.

I don't understand why people were all over Dfifi last year at exactly the same price knowing he averaged close to 60 in 2019, and now he's gone to the titans for a guaranteed 80 minutes everyone's off him. Never really benefitted from the new 6 again rules seeing as he looked very unfit end of last year.

In fact >70 min games in 2019 it was 60.2 and 57.6 in 2020

Fifita averaged 46 in 2019, so priced 8 points lower than this season. He is in 28% of teams this season, one of the highest owned.

Anyone know how to change the draft date if you are commissioner. Already set up the league however now need to change it.

He was still priced at 710k and unless I'm suffering from brain damage the magic number is almost identical from last season to this one?
