Based on what? I haven't seen his name mentioned once in the last month, but if you wanna kill your 21st spot in week 2, because you think a 26-year-old no-name rookie, that has only been selected because he's the last hooker standing, and wasn't even on the Bulldogs radar enough to be offered a development contract, is going to impress so much in the 20 odd minutes he gets that he skips the queue and gets offered a full-time NRL contract on the spot, killing the Bulldogs chance to negotiate with a free agent if the opportunity presents itself, which is why literally every team has kept a spot open on their squad, then more power to you I guess...

I'd settle for him getting a top 30 upgrade and the 14 jersey. Is much more versatile than Katoa, covers hooker, the halves and with Averillo there it means they have the whole backline covered. At $228k with his ability, could go ok. Scored 37 fantasy points in 20 minutes the other day, 2 line breaks and a try. He also shone in the earlier Dogs trial. Apparently Katoa is carrying a calf injury and Averillo is also coming in with an injury. Will be keeping an eye on team lists leading into the game.

Based on Barrett taking him aside and saying he likes what he sees in him and can see a role for him at the Bulldogs.

Priced at 40. Averages 59.7 with 80min hooker and Broncos have no backup on the bench

Tino's minutes are an unknown but big scoring plays seem to happen around him and his ownership makes him hard to miss. Lodge priced at 32 due to injury year but averaged 50 in 2019. Watson is an auto pick

Angus is self explanatory. Found it hard to leave out Fifita and expect Titans to improve this year - and Fifita will be one of the main reasons for that

Captain Cleary with the safest floor and big chance to go the ton. Lam the new Roosters half - expecting something similar to last year's Flanagan without the goal kicking - should be a popular pick

Bird previous strong history as a starting CTR and talks of him going to the forwards gives him a lot of upside. Roberts priced at 25 and historical CTR average of 39.4 - cheap with upside

Hard to leave Ted out as he's so far above other WFB options. Papi with goal kicking will improve his average by at least 5 points a game. Moylan priced at 23 and averages 32.7 at five eighth historically, and 38.7 at fullback once SJ comes back - just needs to stay fit to make cash

Brailey priced at 31 and averages 44 as an 80min hooker. Yet to play in new rules - obvious pick. Host priced at 26 and earned the starting 2RF spot on merit. Starting 2RFs tend to play big minutes and Host has a historical average of 41.8 on the edge so surely he's worth a punt. Riki a cheap option and scored 50 in his only 80min start last year. Liddle priced at 23 and averages 48.6 with games over 50 minutes - no bench hooker for Tigers either.

Averillo a good DPP and should score well at 5/8. Niu another DPP with a starting spot until at least Staggs is back. Laurie is basement price and a starting fullback - who knows if he stays there or not but easy to pick. Utoikamanu is really a filler (not sure who to put in 21) but has good PPM with his limited minutes last year and could start after an injury to the Tigers. Could be the Rudolf/JTB of 2021.

• McCullough: Priced at 54 and averaged 65.6 at the Knights last year. Just concerned about Clune on the Dragons bench and Macca is just getting older.
  

• Munster: Priced at 50 and averaged 54.2 last year taking out his injured games. Should assume more kick metres and assists with no Cam Smith. If he had goal kicking would be an instant pick. Have him a bit split with Fifita.
  

• Milford: Priced at 32... averaged 55.1 in 2019 before the Broncos' horror year last year. The pedigree is there and Broncos have a new coach. Worth the risk? Just needs his confidence back and a bit of KM to get up there again.
  

• Momirovski: Priced at 27 but averages 42.8 with starts at CTR. High try scoring rate inflates it a bit but you'd think in the Panthers side next to Staines he'll still get some tries and assists. If he was a bit cheaper would probably lock him in. May still pick him over Bird if I get iffy on Bird's injury history. Also Naden or May could take his spot any time if he has a stinker.

I had this exact team as my last draft a couple hours ago. Simonsson instead of Stefano though. Now I have Gosi and Milf instead of Bird and Host and I have no clue which is best
