    Zero chance mate, only averaged 30 points a game more than his next best fantasy season affraid

    Only way is down surely after that sort of season, 1.6 tries a game including Origin

    Best case he gets within 5 points of current priced average

    If Cleary is announced as rounds 3-4 I would seriously consider it. Could be easy to fall behind a bit without him.

    He's at ~24% ownership, so obviously some people are

    Most people here prefer Cleary, and I don't think you can do both without killing your squad balance

    That season is surely a bigger anomaly than when Cleary first pulled from the fantasy pack

    At least Clearys stats are backed up with base?

I think 65 minutes is the absolute lowest workload he'd get, on decent coin as Welshy says they're probably moulding their pack around him doing some serious grunt work in the middle. He could also do a bit of pinch hitting at hooker to give Brailey a spell, I know Brails played close to 80 last year but 80min hookers are few and far between in the 6 again era so Cam could benefit. I'm giving him a 60 floor at worst, best he's hitting 70s. Superb VC option right now I'm thinking but could easily be a Cleary alternative if you're braver than me
    Coming off the ACL I’m staying clear.

    Cheers mate and Matt pointed out he also isn't vaxxed so could miss some games.

    I'm interested if Kenny gets canned though

    A tad over 20% of coaches are starting with Turbo.
    He's pricey though and is affected by the TB nerf.

    There was a big gap between the top of the ladder and the bottom of the ladder last season which caused big blow-outs. The bottom dwellers are looking a bit better on paper this season (some still look shabby) so I think we can expect a bit more balance.
    The slight change to the 6 again rule will probably help slow the game down a little as well.
    Tommy may find stronger opposition on the field this season?

    He did his ACL late pre-season so he's had a full 13 month recovery, not your usual 7-8 months. Anecdotally middle forwards seem to have a lower re-injury rate than an outside back for example, with less lateral movement required. Brailey did his ACL in round 3 of 2020 and hardly skipped a beat last season, similarly Welch 2019 or Hodgson 2020

    New rules to concussion protocols announced today. Looks like its up to an independent doctor will have the power to pull players out of matches not the club doctors

    Odd how we think that players that have amazing year can only go down rather than push on, yet players that have an off year are sure to go up.

    Are our Fantasy minds set to think that a fallen gun is great value and as such "must go up" thus being a great pick. In return a player with a breakout season "must come down" to allow us to justify picking them up at a cheaper price, rather than paying in full.

    In regards to Turbo his previous best fantasy season was a 49 average.

    He scored a try A GAME more than previous best try average. 1.6 vs 0.6

    29 tries in a season (including origin) if he replicates that, then as always will put the hand up and say i was wrong, but can 't see it

    True. In regards to Cleary he had a breakout year in 2020 averaging 73 points. A whopping 73. Fuck a duck! His previous best was a 54 point average the year before in 2019. Surely 2021 could top to a 73 point average.

    3 games at lock, including an 80 minute game. Average of 67 minutes for 47 points.

    He racks up almost as many tackles playing on the edge as he does in the middle, gets more run meters and more attacking stats.

    Didn't a bunch of those "edge" games see him play the first 20 on the edge before moving to the middle anyway? Would explain why he makes as many tackles on the "edge".
