I think you’re right and at the same time Turuva still not worth it

But the only way Miller could be more of a trap is if he was named Trapper McTrapperson and graduated from Trap U with a double major in Setting Traps and Political History

Surprising cos he has started both trials, and played pretty well and they have a lot of injuries to outside backs

Waqa Blake, Haze Dunster and Maika Sivo all due to return Round 1...

Cini won't his spot and may have a rib cartilage injury

Russell more likely to take CTR

Counterpoint: Miller's wife.

I was just thinking of To'o too.

Although, if you look at his averages by season (70+ minutes):

2019: 41
2020: 42.5
2021: 58.6
2022: 40.6

He's priced at 38. You'd have to be pretty confident he gets back to somewhere near 2021 form (which looks very much like the outlier now) to take that plunge.

Don't do it.
Apart from Vlandy'sball To'o is pretty much priced at his average.
You may as well go cheap, hold cover in 20-21 and ride the wave.
Use your $ to strengthen the positions that will give you points on a regular basis.

Is it possible to see stats regarding how many minutes each player played in the trials?

Holy crap, L2 league WTF??
Gonna be a tough year.

Trust me, for a so-called 'newbie' you've been one of the best to join.

There were articles today suggesting Bateman may be eased in off the bench.

I wouldn't trust the job security of Blore (or Seyfarth, or Kepoa, or whoever starts for Tigers in round 1)

Was there talk of Egan Butcher getting dual?

Waiting on the Hopgood Mid, so I can get a bit more leeway after shoveeling Hynes in with Cleary on the weekend and dropping my MID GUN to SUBGUN Big Rick

Miller.

Apart from the fact that Egan Butcher played almost exclusively as a bench mid last year, there's no reason for him to get dual :/

He's been categorised as an edge, he'll probably be named as an edge in Round 1 (if Angus is missing), he won't be a starting prop, so they're not going to change it. They've accidented on his correct position for 2023.

Ive barely seen a mention of IPAP. Granted there are $ constraints and therefore most would go for better value elsewhwre. He pumps a couple of 70s out in the first two weeks and everyone will be scrambing

Do you think he will be the highest scoring EDG this year?

If you don't, then there is better value in whoever you think will outscore him.
I figure him moving to the wooden spooners, who have also signed a bunch of other premium forwards, has probably put enough doubt in people's minds. Especially as EDG has a lot of cheap options who look to have decent job security

Edge is the new centre. Nobody is picking the best scorers from the off.

Haumole was probably the biggest beast of the weekend trials as well, ahead of Carrigan. But Paddy's ownership will have shot up and Haumole's won't have (yes, there's the bye consideration, but even so).

*Edit* Maybe NAS was the biggest beast, but that doesn't suit my argument, so let's ignore.

I just can’t see how he could score better then last year. If you aren’t gonna captain him then better to spend the money on value?
