While I’m here why do you all rate peachey so much. Fantasy goggles big time. There’s a reason he’s cheap in still no one wanted him

Dirt cheap and playing for what will probably be the top 3 teams in the league. So hopefully they will be scoring tries or assisting in them somehow

1. Tamou didn't play 5 of the last 6 games and looks to have got injured, only playing 27 minutes in the 6th of these games. Tamou never played off the bench all last season and is their captain. Is missing from round 1 team with a suspension. Screams trap!

2. Even if Uto is named at prop ahead of Tamou for round 2 when he returns, Twal would be the prop next to him and is easily capable of 60-80 minutes. I wouldn't be banking on Twal going off the field first.

3. Peachey has arrived. Another big minute MID that looks to be starting lock.

All this combined means Uto isnt the value buy everyone expects and isn't getting in my team, until they have a couple of injuries that would free up big minutes.

1. Tamou did play the first 2 of those last 8 games where Uto started and got decent minutes. Tamou minutes in those 2 didn’t change from previous. I’m pretty comfortable whether Tamou plays or not is irrelevant to Utos role. I’d expect both to start R2 and it not to matter. More interesting is…

2. Twal clearly fell behind Tamou/Uto in the pecking order, playing 30 mins R16 and benched R18 (Uto first start of 8 ) and R21 (Tamou low min, possibly injured game you mention). The confusing part is in R20, 22-25 he played huge minutes named as prop or lock. I guess it’s whether it was necessity - due to injuries and inexperience of other players - or he played himself back to a more prominent role..

3. Peachey is a wildcard, I’d be surprised he affects Uto too much but it’s a risk

Order of concern: 2,3,1

I have been saying this for years, but he runs around in circles scoring junk fantasy points and people think he's a good player.
