2019 averaged 36.9 in 36.5 mins (1.01PPM)
2020 averaged 36.7 in 42.8 mins (0.86PPM)
2021 averaged 28.5 in 39.5 mins (0.72PPM)

2021 under Josh Morris was 39.2 in 57.2 mins, vs under Josh Hannay 24.7 in 33.2 mins

Sexton is less likely to be a season keeper. Burton will almost certainly be a keeper at center.

Just further on Burton

Dogs start out with easier games against Broncos and Cowboys, then have a tough run of Manly, Storm, Panthers Rabbitohs.

Few ways you can look at it
a) If he is underpriced by 10 points , then draw doesn't matter. Barring injury he is unlikely to get cheaper than his starting price.
b) Draw doesn't matter. He'll get attacking points against crap teams and kicking points against good ones
c) He will score well, but not well above starting price so you can start with a cheaper cash cow and bring Burton in several rounds in. This would let you get a look at him to see how his role/scoring is at the Dogs.
d) You just aren't interested in him in any way and look somewhere else (until/unless his scoring proves you wrong)

No wonder Josh Morris retired. Must have been hard coaching another team whilst also playing for the Roosters

Touché
John, Josh, are they really any different bar a solitary letter

Fair points from the others.
I'm just desperate to throw my middles under the bus by having two under $400k

Need to compare him with Josh King and Bullemor at a lower price point.

Already have them both  just seemingly trying to manufacture another

I am looking at J King, Bullemor, Mann as my starting MIDs, with A Fifita and M King as my back up reserves.

Would feel wrong trading out a keeper centre in the first month, but if you start without Pap he still likely has to come in whenever he's back. If I knew it was one week would just start with him anyway, but who knows?

1. Campbell (6 NRL games)
6. Brimson (15 NRL games at 5/8, 58 starts)
7. Sexton (4 NRL games)
9. Clark (11 NRL games starting Hooker, 28 overall)
may split time with Boyd (21 games, 8 in the halves, the rest INT)

I'm struggling to think of a time with an NRL team started with a more inexperienced spine, and how that went. That's a lot of pressure on a lot of inexperience.
