LMAO pretty much. I don't like paying 500k for a guy who might gain 10 points on their average, when I can pay 350k for a guy who might gain a lot more, and make quicker money. Having 6 top tier guns instead of 3 or 4 plus mids can also save trades, as I plan to hold all 6 of my guns to the end of the season if I can (pending any further concussions for Papy)

I find myself conflicted between an urge to unravel a mystery and a general disinterest and contempt for Alts.
Anyway,

The quoted post above was made when it was Welshy's turn to pick in NRL FF Draft League 1.
His previous draft pick was Keary.
I don't see how anyone outside of L1 would know that. Hence, the Alt is in L1.

NRL FF Draft League 1 members suspects:



wolfking - Too busy for that shit


That leaves a villainous 5:


pookus - not in the DL1 - but likes to be included in any villainy mentions... 1000-1

Cleary 50/50 for round 1

Expects Jennings to start over Staines

Eisenhuth may not be ready for round 1 with ankle injury. Be careful jumping on Leniu if missing in round 1

Harper should be fine for Round 1, so no Koula

10-12 day turnaround when you have covid. Typically miss 2 games.

Murray should start Round 1

Leo Thompson could get a bench spot for Knights at $220k. Was just upgraded to top 30 contract.

Roberts expected to get a top 30 contract and start at CTR

Expects Tuilagi to get the spot on form. Was in top 30 at Storm. Garner coming back from injury, doesn't expect him on the bench round 1.

Nathan Brown likely reduced minutes to start the season coming back from injury.

Fermor and Fifita starting, with Proctor playing in the middle off the bench.

RFM back rounds 4-6, but eased in through NSW Cup.

Expects Mam to be the 6 at Broncos by mid-season.

This is not inconsistent with my previous impression of him based on his tweets and teamlists. I'd take as much, maybe less, notice of his info as any random on here (no offence).

Mulvy - Dolphin likes to back up arguments with facts, but then some are more like pseudo-facts with a degree of confirmation bias. It could be Mulvy, but if it is, I think it's likely a split personality and even Mulvy doesn't know he's the dolphin. 8-1

He's going to the Knights based on:

"reports his court charges could be cleared."

and

"Newcastle Knights are weighing up throwing Milford a lifeline if he's cleared from the courts"

both quotes are from a journo quoting a journo

Seems a sound reason for ruling a player out

I hear Brooks also might be going to the Knights, Nathan Cleary is a dead cert to link up with his Dad at the Tigers (still waiting on that one), Garner is off to the Sea Eagles, and Kelma Tuilagi (although nearly a month on that contract still doesn't appear to have been registered).

I think you probably get where I'm going with this... like players with injuries, it may happen, it might not, either way who knows when it will...

Aitken
Priced at 43, his 5 non-injury 2ndrow games have seen an average of 36 tackles and 122 run metres. Couple of missed tackles a game, but that is his BE right there and everything else is a bonus. If he stays 2nd row, is there anything that suggests they aren't sustainable, at least until return of Tohu?
Maybe Vlandys-ball rule changes might slow things down, but that would impact basically every player so don't think it is worse for Aitken.


Burton priced at 48 averages 67 in the halves (old scoring)
(Note in round 16 last year he was named at five-eighth, but played centre, swapping with Tyrone May after kickoff, so ignore that low score when looking at stats)
New scoring takes that down to just under 60 - still pretty good for a 48 price. But that includes 7 tries in 9 games , a line break every game and a try assist about once every 2 games. How much of that can he maintain at the Dogs? Despite their lackluster effort against Cronulla, I believe the Dogs will improve this year - but will it be by enough to keep Burton's scores about 50?
I think he can average over his starting price, but maybe not by heaps so might be OK to watch for a few weeks and jump on later, and just hope he doesn't pump out a century in the early rounds.
