But that’s another huge assumption! Why would the PPM remain the same if he’s on the field a lot longer? 40 minute props can be a lot less explosive and busy than a 20 minute impact benchie
Its more for interchange balance. They can't have both Kikau and Capewell playing less than 80 minutes. Cleary already stated after the trial game that Capewell will be starting 2nd row and Martin will spend time in the middle. If Eisenhuth gets the balance of Leota's minutes (still an 18 minute reduction from last season), Leniu gets the balance of JFHs minutes and Martin gets 20 minutes from Yeo, which is the likely best scenario for Leniu.L-Jimmy wrote:
Only if, and it’s a bloody massive if, the coach decides to play everyone at their exact same role every year and doesn’t ask more of their best front rower.
i mean, really. Leinu won’t get minutes because Martin needs them? Or Eisenhuth? Maybe! But probably damn not.

If JFH drops to 50-60 minutes, giving Leniu 20-30 minutes, they have used 7 interchanges just on those swaps, if Yeo doesn't return to the field, leaving just 1 for any injuries, or getting May on the field for tactical reasons.

Macca priced pretty high. Will he play 80 each week to get that 54 average to near 60 or will they give those old legs a rest now and then. I see heaps better value in Turpin at his price if he is playing 80 or close to it. If no bench hooker for the Broncos round 1 i be all over Turpin that for sure on Fantasy. Averages 45 priced at 40 in 59 min from last year so is still some value there even with a bench hooker. Playing 80 he'd get 60 average going by last year. Guess TLT will decide.
I may leave Cook out and start with cheaper hookers. Turpin, Brailey, Watson, Liddle etc. Boost the team elsewhere so can start with Cleary, Crichton, Tedesco, Papy etc. and get Cook later on.

I see Turpin like Robson in middle of last year
Might have no bench HOK come R1, but I don't think you can ever be sure it'll be the same bench configuration week to week and his scores will be like a rollercoaster if you end up with the bad case scenario

Got me thinking again for that 4th Mid. I do like Leniu with his ppm. Will he get increase in minutes but? L Martin could spend time in the middle as well as spelling Kikau with Capewell on the other edge. No tamou this year but with the great players that can play prop they got like JFH, Leota, Eisenhuth there to. Yeo playing lock. Feel there is not much minutes to go around for Leniu unless is injuries. He does look like a great player but if gets the minutes.

I thought Leota and Lenui pretty much split minutes in the trial. Id still back Lenui to be better value than LAM which was my point

Eaglestar wrote:If Capewell plays 80 minutes with the other side being the side that comes off. Is he worth it? I'm pretty sure i will play him on DT and probably SC as well as is available as a centre. Not so sure here on Fantasy with the centre dual taken away.

SMH article today says Bellamy tried to poach Leniu to Storm last year, but he signed 2 year extension with Panthers. Of course, means nothing about how many minutes he’ll play.
Even when there was a bench hooker last season, he played at least 57 minutes every round. As starting hooker he had an average of 48, priced at 40, with only one of those games being 80 minutes. If he ends up as 80 minute hooker, his average will be much higher.Camo123 wrote:

Give us bigger squads!

Put a line through LAM he's not gonna get the minutes. Lenui is cheaper, has less competition, younger, and more explosive!
