    Basically the Broncos dominated the middle and stifled his running game, created a few extra missed tackles and such on the defensive side as well.

    To all the people Trading out Cleary this week,

    I hope he grabs 90 in round 4, and you all waste another trade trying to get him back in before round 5.

    Sincerely,
    A Cleary holder.

    Very similar boat to you mate. Dilemma is Reed v Robson v Grant I think.
    Reed offers a lot of value at a lower price, no risk of Origin and he looks to have a much larger influence on the team - kicking, running, attacking returns etc
    Robson is a gun 80 min hooker, has a great bye schedule but a higher BE and may be priced about right at the mo
    Grant - a genuine captaincy option most weeks, looks lively everytime he gets his hands on the ball and someone you hate to watch as a non owner. Kicks the ball, runs it and tackles a lot.

    When I write it out I feel like Grant;s the guy, but damn Reed's potential and extra cash are enticing, and Reece's schedule.

    Eek!

    I would say Mahoney is a Grant injury away from Origin and then QLD would do Hunt & Mahoney so not no real risk

    Yeah I'd think Mahoney and Robson are in a fairly similar boat in that they're both 1 injury away from being in the Origin mix.

    QLD Hok depth: Grant, Hunt, Mahoney

    NSW Hok depth: Cook, Koro, Robson

    I like MS's fullback tier list:

    Tier 1
    Teddy, Turbo, Papy, Latrell, Ponga

    Tier 2
    Edwards, Brimson, Gutho, Walsh

    Tier 3
    Drinkwater, Kennedy

    Tier 4
    Laurie, CNK, Savage

    Tier 5
    Hammer, Miller, Ramsay, Sloan, Perham

    I think Walsh could be a good WFB3, other options outside the FBs are Kiraz and Garick
    If you don't have any other fires to tend to, I think Walsh is a good shout
    Drink is Tier 3? How bad are the Tier 4 and 5 then?

    Yup it's tough hey. Reed is definitely the value option, I think Robson/Grant/Cook are probably priced as is. At this stage I think I'm just leaning towards getting Cook, only 5.8% owned could be a nice POD over Grant at 24.6% to pull my rank back after a shocking start.

    If you can't afford Cook I think I'd probably lean Robson over Grant tbh given his bye schedule and upcoming draw.

    Agree. Although on second thought, I might just keep the Chin. Being agile this week incase CArrigan is out may be a better play, plus we're all going to want the chin in the team come the end so probably a knee jerk move in hindsight.

    Gotta be honest, that's a lot higher for Hopgood than I expected.

    No chance of us finding out abut Carrigan before Eels/Manly game, right?

    Can play Doorey instead to keep 17 players, but don't want to if Carrigan will be playing.....

    Can you just swap to 14-17 if you have another MID so any EMG replaces Carrigan if out

    After back to back 80's? I reckon it's about right. Neither of the 80's looked like a fluke either.

    Oh yeah, if you're trading out Chin to facilitate this I'd definitely hold.

    easytiger wrote:Just some curious stats I was wondering about with regards to a selection of topical fullbacks - I was curious as to their fantasy averages when they score tries vs when they don't;

    The sample is generally the number of games they have played in the 2022-2023 seasons, with the following additions.
    * HTF: I included three 2021 games as they seemed to be appropriate, boosts his sample size (and not doped by Vlandy's ball)
    * Turbo: I included six 2020 games, again to improve a representative sample (and also seemed appropriate to his 2022-2023 stats).

    SampleTry RateNoTry AveTry AveTry vs NoTry diffCostPriced @Proj Try rateProjection
    Tedesco2540%43.866.522.7 $        707 50.540%52.9
    Miller633%37.063.026.0 $        451 32.235%46.1
    Turbo1443%32.453.220.8 $        631 45.150%42.8
    HTF1050%28.650.021.4 $        452 32.350%39.3
    Walsh2211%32.942.89.9 $        545 38.950%37.9
    With Walsh I have removed his GK from his averages (-4.2 pts per game, and dropped his average kick metres points down from 3 to 2), I have boosted his try scoring rate from 11% to a high-rate of 50%.

    I'm using Tedesco as a sort of benchmark.
    Obviously take the projections with a grain of salt.

    The things it maybe illustrates for me;
    HTF is still undervalued, but possibly by only 5 points - his real value is that he's a decent floor average with a good ceiling available at CTR (pretty much what we knew).

    Walsh needs significant improvement in Fantasy stats to offer value. It's possible, but always an increased risk when you're aiming for that to be the reason for improved scoring (rather than a change of role or minutes).

    Millers sample is too small to take too much away, except his style of play (slapsies) suits fantasy points - if he can add a decent try rate... who knows...?

    Anyway, a somewhat interesting curiousity more than anything...

    Additional note: I removed any significantly injury affected outliers from the samples... (i.e. no 10 minute games that drop averages etc)

    This is very helpful, in need of a fullback this week with Nicoll-Klokstad out. Thanks, easytiger.

    Just had a quick scan of Fox and it looks suspiciously like the old red faced boys club have started the 'Any improvement at Manly is down to Shane Flanagan not Siebold' narrative pretty early....surely it would have been wiser to wait a few more games Laughing

    reading the last half-dozen pages I'm feeling that captaining Cook is going to either go very well or very poorly for me.

    Seems far more POD than I would have thought.
