Bad news is he comes at a pretty hefty price, but he may be worth it?

Played 80 last season so probably not much upside?

spent all morning re-jigging my team after getting cold feet on parcell.

but i still think he can make some good money. i think he can avg 35-40. what price rise would that see after 6 rnds?

Unless he's a PPM monster you think he's going to get +40 minutes. I don't and that seems to be the general consensus

yeah. he will get the starting #9 and i think he's a better player than koro. should get 45 to 50 mins

With Cordner out, most of the short ball to a back-rower plays will be going Guerra's way and I could see him spinning his way over the try-line a fair bit. Guaranteed to play the 80 and as you said he's a busy guy in defence, he's at least a 50 average I'd say and probably worth the same value as someone like Bodene Thompson but priced lower than that.
I'd have Guerra but then I'd really be overloading my team with Roosters.

Why do people think Parcell is better then Korosau? He is older yet hasn't been in the NRL compared to Koro who came through NYC won a premiership and played in a WC

How has he not cemented an NRL position before now then? Koro is a gf winning hooker.

Korisau won a premiership due to Luke being suspended/injured.
Basically he was in the right place at the right time.
Don't get me wrong I think Korisau is a good player and I can't really split the 2 at this stage.
I can see Barrett splitting them roughly 40 minutes each in the early stages, providing they are both over injuries, and that Korisau is mentally up to it.
I can see Parcell at worst making a nice profit and scoring solidy.

you could say the same about koroisau?

Saying 'came through NYC' means nothing. QLD Cup is a much tougher competition.
And parcell could have played in a world cup if he had grandparents from the right country

He also only played in the grand final because Luke was out.

At this point neither of the 2 have ever been first choice hooker in the NRL.

My mate just sent me a screenshot of the Renegades page. They're having an argument over Roosters prop mins. One bloke is saying it'll be:

Napa 60
Evans 60
Moa 50
Leului 45
Total = 215



I have to say, from what I've seen on that page, 95% of those blokes are fucking retards. They just embarrass themselves. Unless they are purposely trying to throw each other off for self benefit. This is where it's at. By far and away the best fantasy forum out there. Keep up the great work lads.

I think the major problem with running with say Parcell or JNik or any other basement second hooker is based on three tiers actually.

1) How many minutes will they get?
2) How secure is their position?
3) How fast can you make money off them?

In Parcells case, it's a bit weird that Manly bought another hooker when they already had the glut of options that they did but with Buhrer and Jayden Hodges going down it's actually worked out well for them. My problem is now not whether he has security but how many minutes he'll get and more importantly, how fast he can make coin.

What's the point in having the guy play 40 minutes a week (which seems to be the general consensus) and only score 30 points at a starting price of 165k? It would take him nearly 10 weeks to get to a point that you can upgrade him.

As for Niko, his position isn't secure and I think he'll be a slow burn. Just too risky to do either IMO.

Is there a chance that Fensom might become a bench player this season?

Matt White out for the first 5 round dues to calf tear

Great weekend of trial games and World Club games.

Does anyone have mins for the forward packs from trials on the weekend for Canberra and Penrith?

i did this about an hour ago and its changed the entire dynamic of my side/given me headaches elsewhere.

Not me, if I decide to put him, I can swap out another midranger I'm not sold on and pocket the 50k which I like the idea of considering at this stage I've spent the cap, and it's just one risky midranger for another

Most likely would've been laughed at yet I've not seen it. There's some good folk on there and opinion if you filter out the rubbish and the prospectus is mint.

Sometimes I post a question on here that doesn't get answered and gets buried but on a FB group with so many members you might get a quick answer

In China I you don't have access to FB...

Well you're a winner to me because you have the batman animated series as your avatar.

I have what could potentially be a dumb question... Lol.

With NRL Fantasy releasing Thursday "Match Day" leagues does that mean those games are now no longer included in original fantasy (i.e. throughout the season) or is it another competition that runs concurrently?
