Yep, that's right. GB was a funny one, he was keen as then disappeared right before 1st lockout, so not sure if something happened to him, or he was an alt to sabotage the league. Sounds paranoid, but there are 1 or 2 blokes who would potentially be that much of a dick.
I deliberately sabotaged my league last year by scoring badly.
That's my story and I'm sticking with it.

Can anyone explain why Paasi's ownership is so high (18.2%)?

Over-excitement from his 9's performance.

That would be one reason but he also averaged 48 in his last 3 games of 2015.
His game time increased substantially from 39mins in rnd21 to 57mins, 73mins, 80mins, 80mins, 80mins in the last 5 games.

Rein/Lichaa, Feldt, JDB
->
Granville, Slater, W Graham?
Thoughts?

First option, with Lichaa.
I don't think Granville will score any better than last year, and Slater seems to be a week by week prospect with his injury. I'd have Graham over JDB, but you probably can't afford that.

The first one.
Question mark over Granville's minutes and I don't trust Slater's shoulder, seems injury prone now.

Im in the same boat as you. Consistent 50's would be awesome, but Im thinking mid to late 40's myself, which I would be happy with.
No matter how many times I have tinkled with my team and taken him out, he always seems to find his way back into it, and to be honest I like the look of it more, when he is in there.
Im just thinking with him and Packer the probable starters in the front row, LAM is going to be the one to benefit with the more time on field, and with his PPM sitting at just under 1, his fantasy desire rate is one that I think I cannot ignore.

Everyone discounts Granville (and a whole host of other players too, but lets stick with Granville for now) because he doesn't play 80. minutes
He didn't play 80 minutes last year, and his pricing takes that into account.
I would argue he is unlikely to reduce his minutes in 2016, so he is unlikely to drop in price, and he does not need to play 80 minutes in order to provide good value.
All he needs to do is improve on last year, which is certainly a possibility.

Thanks for the advice guys, appreciate it.
I don't think the Cowboys will have a premiership hangover either, JT wouldn't allow that to happen.
At the moment I'm sacrificing points in the WFB spots to overload my 2nd rowers.

Of course Granville can improve on last year but without any indication of a larger role what else is there to base him Improving on? He already scores a heap of tries for a hooker and all the attcking stats that come with them, I think he is priced pretty fairly and too much of a risk for me as I feel I can get better value elsewhere for his price if his minutes stay the same and the tries dry up he will actually regress, if he was playing 80 he would be straight into my team however because he wouldn't have to rely on attacking stats to post a decent avg

Just watching the Canberra & Penrith 1991 gf & Simmons runs through a gap, does a hit & spin on Belcher & then puts Lazarus on his arse & dives over the line for a try. That's about a 20-30 point play by Roycee. Beautiful.
