Sorry for not being clear, but my assertion of Mahoney being a better hooker is part of it. I try to look at what system they’re playing in as well. I do think that has a lot to do with it. So looking at what I perceive as a lesser quality hooker (given his age and injury history) in the same system as Mahoney who to me personally (each to their own) is far better and averaged 46 there last season, I wouldn’t think Hodgson would outdo this. It’s just an opinion and absolutely subjective.

Side note I do think Mahoney will finish with a higher average this year as well based on my same thought process.

Suli had a higher floor than Holmes and Bird last year and has his first bye out of the way in R1. He is also 40- 60 k cheaper. I am expecting him to average 40+ and increase his value. Take of his injury affected game and he averages just 4 points less than Manu (for games at CTR only) with an equivalent floor for 170 k cheaper. Holmes and Manu will play origin. No byes between R2 and R15 and and I will be certain to have 17 players for R1. What is not to like?

My current draft has Cleary and Murray with Doueihi as my other half and Hastings bench.

If both players are fit, there is no universe where Mahoney is a better hooker then Hodgson (Coming from an Eels fan). The issue, obviously is the guy has had a lot of injuries, managed 1 game in 2022 and 9 games in 2020. Having said that, he did get 20 games in 2021 years ago. So there is hope. He loves a TO so I see him scoring well if he stays on the park.

Does it worry you that dragons seem to have gone backwards as a club whilst most teams have made big improvements

The point being outside backs (suli) get less ball, more missed tackles, more time standing under his goal posts, lower scores?

Maybe Haas won't have to play 1,000 minutes every game or something????.........nahhhhhh
