NRL Fantasy 2024 Part 1 - Gates are open, come on in

Muhleisen started rounds 25-27 in 2023 with Liddle bench & played averaging 37 mins starting so that's a worry for Liddle who came off the bench

Yeah Liddle averages 50+ playing 60+ mins over his career but given multiple clubs and coaches have been reluctant to give him that role, it’s probably not for him.

They like this Connor kid, a 50/30 split is likely IMO

Really quite tempted by Sivo

Decent WFB cover will be needed with Campbell and Papenhuyzen early byes. No risk of position like with Munro and Arthars having decent backups. Big difference in average when Brown was out last year. 3 out of 4 home games to start the year where he has a try/game average basically. 2nd year back from ACL

What’s not to love

Cheese at 540k could well have 100k in him as he grows into his role with Trent. Can score, can tackle, can get suspended for stupid shit though.

Did you copy/paste this from last pre-season lol?

He averaged 1 try per game for the season last year. Where is the upside?

Having a game against Tigers in R4 when you need a WFB and all the other WFB cover has lost their spot

1.0 try average is basically around his career average (0.8/0.9). As per Amateurs analysis, lower TBs and higher demerits to potentially revert back to career average

Thought you’d be all over it MattNZ after Kiraz last year

Two tries per game

Oh my list for a bounce back and jump off after some early gains. Main factor is 2nd year back from ACL which is historically back to normal performance

Whoever takes the 2nd starting EDG spot at the dragons seems to be value...

Any thoughts on who it might be

EISENHUTH?
RYAN COUCHMAN?

Pretty sure it'll end up being a timeshare between Huth and Dan Russell, making both of them irrelevant. If Huth can get 80 on the edge (very unlikely), then he's value

I was of the belief that had changed. I thought it had changed to Development (supplementary players) can play from round 1. Train and triallists can play from round 11.

That’s correct

There has been some mention of Couchman getting the spot. Definitely one to keep an eye on.

Are we expecting Jayden Campbell to just automatically get the spot? Feels like people have forgotten about Kini.

imo yes kini is good & took his chance but campbell is the alpha

I had the sense that Russell was more of a fill-in last year. Couchman is only 20. I would expect that his 30 to 40 minutes a game were prep for this year. Eisenhuth has never really been a big minute player and also plays at MID.

Anyway, if Couchman does start at EDG he is likely to be the best of the cows there

Campbell reminds me a bit of Miller. Speedster with great attack but forgot to put some stats in defence

Still has a bit more experience than Kini, will be 4th year of first grade

Someones flogged it and quietly returned.

It turns out this was the case MTB. Warner left his bag behind and was too embarrassed to say... it is so special to him, he could not even remember which bag he put it in. Lets get that prick who "stole" his baggies hey Rabbit21 https://www.smh.com.au/sport/cricket/mystery-solved-what-really-happened-to-david-warner-s-bag-20240115-p5exby.html

If he starts he should be 40% ownership so leave out at your own risk. Not one to anti pod IMO
