Duncan if starts on edge will get dpp mid/edg also as currently classified as mid
On Blore the current edges E. Katoa & Loiero look pretty nailed can't see Blore taking 1 of their spots so imo he's from bench
Kikau is a wait & see imo he was pretty quiet in 2023
R. Matterson if starting on edge will be a good option..small sample size in 2023 only 4 games at edg for 70+ mins he av 59
imo curran, piakura, wong if starts, lucas if pierce-paul is injured (btw pearce-paul is cheaper than lucas at 520k & seems 1st choice) & duncan the options

Ok, you asked, so here's my thoughts and wild speculation........

This year is the year of redemption for some players.

This year's (insert player who was in form from last year) is likely to be (2024 player).....

SJ will be Fogarty - Every year there is the half that returns to form, next to a non-kicking 6 and kicks goals, last year was SJ, Chad was that guy previously. This is Fog's year.

Preston will be Hughes - That Gould guy can spot a winner and is happy to tell the world when he finds one.

Carty will be Taumalolo - Hearing actual rumours (not started by me), that he will have a bigger role this season. If a guy like Carty can return to form, a genuine wrecking ball with amazing fitness like Lolo, should be able to as well.

Hammer will be Crichton - Will surprise everyone, by playing better at Fullback at the Dogs and scoring well in fantasy (still not picking him). Lots more run meters to be had in the backs at Bulldogs, than at Panthers, where all back 5 put up huge numbers, really just competing with Kiraz for taking hit ups at Bulldogs.

Ponga will be Turbo - Gets past the injuries and back to his best form.

So, a bit of value but no sign of SJ's keeper scores? Because that's kind of what I'd want with a half in his price range, and what happened with SJ last year.

I also wouldn't assume that whoever plays 5/8th for Raiders simply doesn't kick at all. Don't know about Strange, but Weekes has a kicking game. I wouldn't be expecting all that many conversions either.

I know I'm likely to be an outlier on this one, but whatever. Getting a whole load of meh from Fog. Average player in the backline of poor teams can be fantasy killers. Good luck to everyone who takes him but going to try to pony up the cash for Moses.

Fogarty reminds me of 2023 Doueihi. All the numbers say he SHOULD be fantasy value but he plays in a dog shit team and ties up a chunk of cap. Fantasy scoring should be very similar to Burton (bad team, lots of kick metres, goal kicking)

Doesn't really matter how well he scores as a total. All that matters is how he scores relative to his price. Get them cheap enough and any kicking half can provide value.

No, Taylan May back from injury will replace Crichton

Apparently Alamoti will be a bench forward

Welshy wrote:What's the talk on Lane on having one good season?

His average playing 60+ minutes is 48. Since 2015

If you want to make the scoring more up to date, since 2021, in games he played over 50 minutes for the Eels he averages....48

Injury plagued 23' season, and priced at 36? Heaps of value there
