good for meaney too he'll play fb & gk he played well last year after the pap injury

Yeah he's one I have my eye on if I can't afford to start with Teddy - average of about 45 when playing fullback in 2022 (footystats has him listed at FB in his 5/8 games too so I had to discount those) priced at 40, so a little bit of value and I imagine he'll do better if he has more time training at FB instead of wing or 5/8.

That said we could potentially see Munster stay at FB and Meaney either play at 5/8 or wing with Pezet debuting (though these scenarios aren't very likely), which would make Munster a must-have and weekly captaincy option.

Wouldn’t consider Munster a must have unless he got WFB DPP filling in for Papenhuyzen

Is that Sheenius, mentor of Benjenius?

Team name sorted.

Ay-oh all. Happy New Year.
It's good to be back in the NRL heartland of fantasy heads.

Just a quick question - there's already been a couple of early team drafts put up here - has the Fantasy salary cap been set? Player prices etc.
Or, am I missing something?

The website is open, and you can login and make your team. Apparently the app might not be up yet for 2023 if that's how you access things

Excel team planner available for those that use it

Let me know if there is anything wrong/missing.

Read on Instagram that bennet has confirmed Gilbert as his starting 13,

I don’t stand on that but interesting

With Connor Watson injured, is Hutchison a shout for some decent game time as the utility?

Just noticed its trying to update some info from last year's planner. You'll get a message about "external sources" when you try to open it. Have fixed the links and re-uploaded

Cheers Milchy - great to be back in the presence of the grand old wise Cow.

Lads I got a question. Who would you rather have Tabuai fidow or Nicoll Klokstad they both 372k?

What are we thinking, 60 mins in the middle? Some value there? From memory he scored better in the middle than edge?

Personally I think CNK has a better work rate.
Also if I go with HTF it would only be in the ctrs

I like the base CNK provides over HTF, just feels a bit less risky

What magic number are we looking at? 15000 or so?

Really hard one, I wanna see how they do in trials. Gut is the correct call will be HTF because CNK is the outside backs version of a plodder, but he is more experienced.

If they're starting at fullback round 1 I'll probably take both. CNK probably as a WFB3 initially and HTF in my 18-21 (or CTR, depending on TLT).

Both come with their risks- CNK's injury history and 2022 may be the new normal for his scoring rather than an aberration, and for HTF while he's got a high ceiling, his floor sucks and we don't have much data to go off for him as a fullback. Both similar job security risk in what should both be bottom 9 (if not bottom 4) teams. If Warriors lose a few TMM could move to 1 to shake things up, and same for the Dolphins if they choose to move Niu to the back and HTF goes to the centres.
