Is this true?

I was trying to remember players that came back from one mid-season and look up how they went.

Hodgson has the first week off the interchange (46 mins) then played 80 every week at his usual scoring
Doueihi in 2019 looked ok from a fantasy scoring perspective, given this was at Souths, so not the KMs he'd get at Tigers

Couldn't remember anyone else haha

Tough to tell with McInnes because we don't know whether he was eased back in originally or just getting reduced minutes in better pack

Using trades in this game is like playing Civ, just one more trade (turn) then I'll be happy. Gotta learn to manage your trades boys, can't go after every single cashy. Sometimes you gotta hold even when you really wanna trade.



Anyway I'm double trading again for the nth week in a row:

Schneider (thanks mate) > Elliot
Papy > Meaney

430k itb for a nice option next week.

I mean I’m talking in real-life terms, not fantasy terms, I don’t know how ACLs affect fantasy scores, but in the sports I follow it’s pretty much accepted that a player spends that first season back getting up to speed again and doesn’t hit their stride again until the season after.

It won't effect their ability on the field in real terms, if it's healed it's healed.

Just a matter if they get eased back in minutes terms due to lack of match fitness.

If Tohu plays you will get the same output as previous would be my guess in terms of PPM

Burton or Elliot.... Fuck no idea.

Meaney is an interesting option. Been okay at fullback in the past, 34 average but he's never played behind a side as good as the Storm.

Even when he goes back to the wing, he grabs enough tries just like Coates to put up tolerable scores.

He could be another Hynes or he could score like Brad Abbey for any of you that remember that disaster.

Not that this necessarily applies to Starling, but don't cost yourself 10 points a week for 5 weeks, in order to get an extra 30 points in R13

Would Clarke fall into this category?
Have nearly traded twice but had other more urgent trade out
He hasn’t failed to surprise thus far

Welcome to the team Mr Harris - don't break.

He does have goal kicking so that at least gives him a bit of a floor, and he may even end up keeping the tee once Papy's back (if he can kick well)

Plyometric and power scores, speed off the mark and agility generally take closer to 18 months to be back to 100%, even for pro’s. Wouldn’t effect Harris much IMO as he doesn’t rely on those much for his role or style. Slight increased risk of re-injury to knee, other knee, and hammy

I’ll be getting on tohu next week or two I’d say

Meaney’s low end being 4 weeks is Effectively 3 weeks no? Enough to be worthwhile? Even if it is 6 weeks that’s only 4 actual games. Sorry to be a Debbie downer

4 weeks means he has 3 games, 6 weeks means he has 5 games (10, 11, 12, 14, 15)

Given that Papy has three separate injuries, I think it's more likely they don't rush him back and save him for round 15-16

Not to tempt fate but do we think Ilias can actually make it to that magic $150k gained mark?

How did Kennedy possibly get a week's less suspension than Ramien? Was a far worse tackle.

Maths wasn’t my strong point but 6 weeks from injury mean 5 games. Minus 1 for the bye

Not rushing him back would be 4 games. I’m not against the pick. Considering it strongly. Just sussing it out

Yeah I can understand why some wouldn't want to get on, but worst case he was scoring well on the wing already and may keep the goalkicking if he kicks well enough in the next few weeks

Do storm fall apart somewhat with grant Munster Coates playing origin

He has scored 4 tries in last 3 games on the wing mind for his current average. He's no Pappy following up the play so might be limited to GK and higher RM at fullback. I'm not sure he's worth the risk

I think we'll be alright, Munster and Coates probably both back up in round 14 given our game is late in the round then. Grant out isn't ideal but Cheese is perfectly capable at hooker and so is Wishart

Round 17 may be a bit dicey but I don't think it'll be anything too bad.

Felise is going to be Origin too? But, yeah, Storm always seem to have unheralded guys they can fit into the system who go just fine, Ieremia, Loreiro, Eisenhuth etc.

Yeah not worried about Felise, Loiero is a good back rower, and I think him and Howarth will be our long term edges from next year
