There are news articles saying the thing that stands out about him isn't any of the things you mentioned above, but his fitness and motor really sets him apart.

Missing very few tackles will be a huge asset in a fast game and Twal is the best in the game. Went over 200 tackles without a miss while playing big minutes last season, I would be amazed if anyone else got over 100 tackles without a miss.

It troubles me that you can't own a bad decision. We all make them. The highly successful MTB and much less so Mulvy started with Levi and Williams last year. It was a bad decision I made.

I'm thinking Egan's minutes are likely determined by Harris's minutes in the middle. If Harris plays close to 80 minutes again this season, while starting at lock, Tevaga is still sure to get decent minutes as well, so may be stealing some off Egan.

You and me both got sucked in at the same time mate. No regrets!

Me three but I made the genius call of selling him a week later and it got me Stephen Crichton for 313k which paid off big time, since I was able to run him and Lomax as my centres all year.

Crichton was my "lucky" bench pick from the very start last season, similar to the Simpkin pick this season.

Lets compare Simpkin with a guy like Niu that the consensus here is that he may provide some cover, isnt guaranteed a spot and has low upside potential, but is in almost everyone's team.

Simpkin is covering a guy with a worse injury history than Turbo, is clearly the far better player and the future of the club, is up against a guy that has never played 80 minutes even when starting, and has shown he can cover playing in the middle off the bench. A 40 minute 40 point game isn't at all out of the realms of possibility in the first few weeks. Add in the fact that he has the potential to be a gun and be $400k+ underpriced should get far more priority than the meh guy.

These are the known factors coming into the season and what can drive decision making now.

I may get "lucky" and he gets those opportunities, but I created the opportunity for a low risk, high reward scenario.

Cook

Riki, Fifita
Munster, Fogarty
Bird, Averillo
Tedesco, Papy, Hoy

Liddle
Brailey
Lam
Croker

$392k remaining.
Just think I can eek out extra points from Fog whilst Cleary loses some (gut feel)

Not dissimilar to my team, though I have Cleary and Milford instead of Fogarty and Munster and can't find any decent 246s at the moment pre TLT so have a bit more money on my NPRs, including Liddle who I don't trust in my 17 yet.

Also weighing up Offa over Lodge, figure he's on the bench behind Carrigan, Haas, TPJ after round 3, and I'm on the Tupounuia train as my main POD.

Haven’t accepted my challenge... you’re scared of “the joke” what does that say about you?
