Welshy wrote: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

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.

Granville, Slater, W Graham?

Thoughts?

Agree. He is undervalued regardless of the minutes. Priced at 42, averaged I think 48 when starting and 49 in fact if you take out the game he scored -3 because he got knocked out at the start of the game. So he is priced 7 below his worth even if his minutes don't increase which I see as a possibility. That said he is in and out of my team, and currently out for smith/Segs but maybe back in if I need the money

I also think that Granville is going to get some good attacking stats this year with the limited interchange and tired markers.  He is like a jack russell when the post man goes past running out of dummy half.

Granville makes my team so much more balanced but I hate knowingly picking non 80min hoppers. Nothing worse than that number 14 utility.

If u don't go with him or Morgan I will have zero players from the premiers, which feels wrong.

But I just can't break out of 2012, currently sitting with Smith/Farah and feel I know exactly what I get
