Take a look at Cook with/without Reynolds. I know there is a difference between losing your halfback mid season for a couple of games and having an entire preseason to prepare but the drop is so significant it turned me away

Was significantly impacted by injury late in the season, and playing off the bench, and already has the TB nerf discounted from his price and averages over 2 offloads per game.

If there was 1 player that could be undervalued and go on a Cleary / Turbo style run this season, it would be a fit, uninjured Fifita. Those 2 factors were the only things stopping him from being at that level. If he starts playing 80 with full effort through each game of the season, he will elevate to uber-gun.

A surprising stat, so I looked at it further. According to mtvb's site, Cook has only played three games without Reynolds in the last three seasons. Last year it was a 50-point towelling vs the Storm where Cook was Souths' top-scorer with 50. The two before that were in 2019 with teammates such as Dean Britt and Kyle Turner. Not sure how much can be read into it.

He also scored 17 tries in 21 games. Fifita is either going to be the greatest try scoring forward we have ever seen by a long way or he is going to come back to the pack

I'm not sure which is more likely

He was having to create his own opportunities most of the time, running through 2 or 3 tacklers. If his half realises how to put him into space he will have a Turbo-esque season. You would hope that Holbrook is building that into the game plan.

I am reasonably worried Reynolds actually has one of those 'injury plagued' seasons that would always put fantasy players off him

Running through two or three tacklers to get your tries is how you rack up big fantasy scores though. The last thing you want is him strolling through gaps instead...

(I do actually agree with you that Fifta's ceiling is huge, and he'll be horrible to watch for non-owners)

mattnz wrote:

He is still going to be trampling guys to get to the try line often. The set up plays where they are actually getting him in a gap would be additional tries, not instead of.

@Moanaman Why did this get 2 down votes, did I miss something ??

To answer your question: Yes it was yellow and blue and I have everything from the banner to a pair of your wifes panties.

The first three picks were obvious.

First thing is that if you put ownership percentage after a player in trying to justify them, I automatically pay slightly less attention to

I know a lot of people enjoy having PODs, but I prefer picking the good players. Ownership percentage should have no bearing on evaluating a players worth.

First I justified this on the basis that they had the potential to go larger. Not about them being PODs and it is arrogant to suggest otherwise



Your claim is that McInnes can easily repeat his record-high scoring from 2020.
You also claim that there is little chance Cleary can repeat his record-high scoring from 2021
What is the difference between the 2?

In my mind McInnes has more risk given he has m oved to a new club. One that has better middles and less of a need for him to do all the work.
I still might start with him, the discount he got for missing 2021 was relatively small, but nonetheless exists, so he can drop his average and still be value.
