Pricing is weird. Players that made more offloads than TBs would see a small bump, but that doesn't apply to Cook.

Just take it as a sign to avoid him.

I also could be way off.

Well if he passes your eye test it would be silly of me not to put him in my team

"One kid though is Izack Tago, who I think played half a dozen games last year, and he is a local boy out here. He’s a back-rower but we actually threw him into the centres at various stages last year and he looked really good there.

"He played NSW Cup season before it finished last year and was outstanding, so we are feeling like he is ready to give centre a real crack.

"I’m pretty confident he will handle it pretty well."

TLDR: Looks like $334k Tago is looking increasingly likely to partner Crichton in the Centres

He has got the position, yet even when he played at EDG last year he scored at a snail's pace! What suggests he will get involved much in the play at CTR?

Could always be another Leniu situation. You need timing + talent + opportunity to be a good fantasy option

I might be missing someone but i just looked at who else would be challenging for the centre spot at Panthers and no one stood out.

Doesn't miss many tackles, gains metres well enough and capable of registering a few TB's.
It would be nice if he was in the $200's still, but even so, priced at 27, so even as an "average" Center, there should be 6 points of upsdie. I suspect probably a bit more being in a dominant, attacking team.

He's not going to make or break your season, but should be a solid-enough option (amongst a bunch of other fairly solid Centre options in a similar price range)

Thanks.

tbh if i ever end up having to do isolation i reckon i'd get bored enough to get on a treadmill as well.

The Dolphin Conspiracies wrote:Now that Cameron Murray is Captain, do we reckon that he ups his minutes at LOCK. This may be more likely if Souths carry Taaffe on the bench? Last year, he only averaged 61 minutes per game. If this gets closer to 70, he could be a good alternative Captain option??

ALSO with Taaffe on the bench,are people thinking there are better options than Ilias? How many minutes will he play. Demetriou suggests he is going to ease him into the role. He will make money but I wonder if there is enough to put him in my side over say Clune?
