Sam Tomkins springs to mind.

Unfair.

Tomkins was injured most of his time at the Warriors, his first year he was a very decent fantasy option

WCC, Leeds were decimated by injuries, playing their starters for too long took its toll late, regardless of that, its no indicator of talent of Whitehead just because the SL teams got destroyed last weekend, on that basis, Catalans didn't even make the weekend so him and Taia must be shit!!

This, Tomkins had a very good Fantasy first year and was busted last year.

I could be wrong. I just dont see the value in whitehead in amongst that Raiders forward pack.

You could look at Tomkins.... or you could look at Soli, Hodgson, Graham etc. Or just look at what Whitehead did against the Kiwi team, not exactly chump opposition.

Pretty sure it is a part of an Adoption cause between Crowe and their mum. They also got a boat I hear.

well stop it. stop it right now.

His breakeven is 32, and he only bettered that 7 times last season from 19 games.

He is like a fine wine, gets better with age...

amidoingitright

Looking at his missed tackles + errors, I can see last year he had -6 points in 2 games, -8 points in 3 games, and -12 in 2 games (as well as the usual minor negs in most games)

I'm really struggling for NPR 2RF - the guys just don't look like they're going to play

Why am I now upset at my team when I can't fit Aubbs back in there haha

Hate the bastard!

Hey everyone been reading the fantasy section on sportal since about 2012 but rarely posting.
How's everyone shaping up coming into TLW?

My current locks for my team are
Segs fifita woods Cartwright dce hastings taylor aubs at ctr (if 2nd row)mansour gordon barba (if fb)

Interested in your thoughts on the below
Napa
Kane evans
NAS
Rochow
Merrin

Napa already priced at 40 and Kevans at 30 but thinking these guys along with moa will be carrying the roosters the first 8 to 10 weeks，surely there's some upside there?

Rochow priced around 35..I'm thinking 80 mins for sure and seen as a future captain etc should mean he can hopefully avg 40 plus

Merrin is the tricky one. I'm thinking he's someone who may not impress in thr first month but will pay off across the season.

NAS genuinely open to opinions on. Also talk of grevs on here seems odd. HE'S a good player but leaving for pa thers in 2017，no one worried about the effect of that on his role?

How is Rochow suddenly going to go from a mid 30s player to mid 40s? I think it's pie in the sky stuff

Lovett was at the 9's from memory. I wouldn't rule him out
