is it just me or does scoring seem to be a little different this year ? think the rule changes may have had a bigger effect than anticipated also is angus worthy of a trade seems so early in the season to have one of your guns out but also burning 2 trades is not very flash

Well, Cleary got 12 extra points from the new forced turnover stat, a few of the other guys got 8 extra points. It isn't much but its a little change.

Suaalii double again. 4 tries in 2 games

Must have been kissed on the dick kissed by a leprechaun , had Koro/lodge going into Friday night and swapped them for Toupouniua/SST
Wanted to give myself cover after host/Riki and give me 150k to fund upgrades
Was between him and capewell but was swayed by how shit manly looked on paper so was hoping he jagged a try
On another note, still think Egan should have got a TA for his pass at the line to Sironen.

Anyone else expecting Ryan James to do an Arrow from the bench?

The general rule is that any player is only worth trading if they are out for 3 weeks or longer, depending on the stage of season (i.e. weeks before bye rounds allowing you to get in another gun, end of season where you need to use trades to get points), and whether you have cover for that player's position

Don't worry about Riki mate, he's a good footballer.

Watched the 2nd and 3rd games on delay after attending the Titans Warriors game. Great atmosphere despite the limited crowd numbers
Thoughts on the games with essay below so have hidden behind spoiler tag
Warriors Titans
Roosters Eagles
Panthers Cowboys
Thoughts on the games with essay below so have hidden behind spoiler tag
Warriors Titans
- Spoiler:
AFB was a beast with lots of offloads and tbs. Tackle stats pretty low but it was a scrappy game. Will likely be one of the top middles come the end of the year, although likely tier behind Haas/Taumalolo
Sironen played a very interesting role from a fantasy perspective, but not sure if he holds it. Started in the middle with Tohu on the edge, then when Katoa subbed off for Tevaga he moved to edge. Then BMM came on with Tohu moving back to middle.Egan HIA messed with the rotation, forcing Katoa back on then Siro back into the middle with Tevaga at 9. But with 45 minutes primarily in the middle, we can reasonably assume the plan was for Siro to get a second stint, or play out the game before his HIA.
Tohu probably got lucky with a few HIAs forcing him back to the middle. It looks like he will play 30 odd on the edge, BMM will come on, with Tohu shifting to middle. If BMM goes back off Tohu probably goes back to edge. I'm not sure Tohu will hold price with 30 edge 50 middle, but that's something for owners to worry about
LAM was pretty impressive being first middle off the bench. Took the early points in the Lodge replacement discussion, but I hate trading in players after they scored a try so will probably pass. Should be good for 40 in 40. Only got about another 120k in him so not sure it's worth it for non owners.
CHT did not take control of kicking the way I expected. Will have some games like this week, but unlikely to have the floor to make him worth chasing
Fogarty dominated the kick metres and as a result will have a huge floor. Probably a better pick than Moses for 100k discount but squad balance doesn't make it worth bringing in for me. Not sure the run metres are sustainable but those that took the risk got a good one.
Fifita had a pretty quiet game all things considered, but got a few cheap tbs. Concerned what happens when he starts getting quality ball
Peachey was the beneficiary of the extra 10 minutes at the end once Fifita came off, not sure that happens every week. Should still be good for 40 in the middle, which gives a good floor for centre
Tino played about 10 minutes more than I expected, which isn't great as a non owner. Won't be having 6 missed tackles and 2 errors every week so should be 5-10 points under priced. Not sure I can hold off without him until Origin if that role continues.
Roosters Eagles
- Spoiler:
Teddy picked up where he left off. While he will certainly be cheaper at some point during the year, I didn't want to run the gauntlet again this year. Didn't have as much work to do coming out of his own end, but made up for it with attacking stats.
Crichton didn't see a lot of good quality ball, with most of it going to the right. Busy as always in defence and different game flow should see more attacking opportunities. No concerns with the pick and should score around his priced average again this year
Tupouinua could have scored 3 if a few things went his way. Still concerned with his floor as he simply doesn't get many run metres, but ceiling is up there with the best of them as long as he is starting.
Keary surprisingly dominated the kicking. I don't think it's likely to continue, but if it does he becomes very fantasy relevant with a huge base and the focal point of attack.
Taukeiaho got reduced minutes due to the blow out, but owners knew that was a possibility. Chance he takes the alpha prop role as JWH hands the reigns to Collins, but I don't think he will make that next step to top tier gun due to Robbo's rotation policy.
Lam barely kicking the ball is a concern. Got the worst of both roles when he spent time attacking at hooker but defending on the edge. Not a priority trade out but can see him being a very slow burn
Trbojevic is what it says on the tin. Need 50 points he will give you 52-56. Need 60 points he will give you 52-56
DCE had one of his worst career games with 7 missed tackles and still walked about with 42 points. This is the floor you pay for with gun halves. Foran took on a little more of the kicking than expected, but DCE should stick close to his priced average.
Anyone that expected extra minutes from Taupau is sorely mistaken. Will play the exact same role as previous years.
Croker fails the shit footballer test so didn't make my squad. Didn't expect things to be quite as bad as this, but think he has a very short leash with Cust playing hooker in ressies.
Gosiewski fails the shit footballer test but I took him anyway. 19 points including a try assist and line break assist is something special. Pretty sure he got hooked after the left edge got carved up, didn't help that Davey looked way better when given the spot. Hoping he holds his spot for next week but could be disappointment
Panthers Cowboys
- Spoiler:
Cleary is absolutely freakish and seems to add to his game every year. Didn't do too much and ended the game with 96 points. Will be tough watching for non owners until Origin
To'o was my smokey pick for a Nofo-esq break out season. Starting off with a flyer with 12 tbs and 1 try. Was a dropped ball from being on the banner.
Going to link JFH, Yeo and Koroisau as one point. I expect at various points of every game May is going to spell one of them. Probably can't trust any of them fantasy wise, as they will rotate the big minute role. I'd probably be jumping ship if I owned any of them.
Capewell as expected split minutes with Martin and Kikau. In a closer game, Kikau probably comes back earlier, but I'm not sure any of them are fantasy relevant. If you started with Capewell hold him until the wheels fall off, but certainly not a trade in.
Leniu was my pick for break out player of the year and boy did he deliver. In typical MS fashion he did not make my 21, but is the front runner to replace Lodge next week. Bloke will be starting prop and fringe rep player by the end of the season.
Momorovski takes the lead in the cheap centre battle. I liked his talent + upside more than Roberts, but ended up giving him a miss with job security concerns. If he keeps playing like last night Naden won't be forcing him out.
Staines is the most over rated player in the NRL because he scored a few Nathan Merritt tier tries. Isn't fit to lace Mansour's boots and won't be fantasy relevant this year.
Robson didn't get the minutes so won't be relevant. Get rid of him if you've got him
Morgan is an interesting fantasy prospect. Previous fantasy relevance was on the back of big kick metres and dominant running game. With the Cowboys dropping the ball every 15 minutes they didn't get to kick the ball much so didn't get to see how the kick metres shake out. Running game and defense looked okay. Probably others I prefer in his range, but wouldn't be surprised if he makes 150k over the course of the year.
Dunn's previous fantasy scores are garbage so this came as a surprise. 45 tackles is probably not repeatable
Taumalolo's role didn't work and he won't be fantasy relevant until they fix it
No other Cowboys I would want to own and if you do you should probably rethink how you got into this position

You're the man. As someone who doesn't always have time to watch every game I really appreciate the time you put into these write ups.

I've been thinking about the Benji effect the last few days. It was interesting how Bennett used him of the bench, it really helped Souths get back into the game.
Fantasy wise I think Benji is a key factor in releasing Latrell as an attacking fantasy weapon, giving him good service, drawing the defenders in, and creating the overlap.

It hurt Cook's fantasy output a little in attack. Once Benji came on they played a wide game attacking edge to edge off 2 or 3 passes instead of trying to ram it through the middle

Yeah good write-up, you've got a keen awareness how gameplay affects each players fantasy output. Thanks for putting it in writing.
On Leniu, I was expecting similar minutes for him as Leota was getting near the end of last season (30-40mins). It was good to see him getting close to 40. He is a weapon.
