Crichton is an Australian international who had a rough 2023 off field and has said he is fine mentally now. Wong has played less than 10 games. IMO if Crichton is mentally fine and starting I don’t know why they’d limit his output.

Surprised at Harper average but he doesn’t really have value outside of your gut feel. He was already on a decent attacking edge usually.

Curran was interviewed by Denan Kemp recently, he said he wanted the lock position and if he didn't get that, he would be going for an EDG. No mention of playing prop, a position that he has started the game in 0 times in his career.

He regularly played at MID of the bench last year. The interview you shared with Kiraz the other day mentioned that Mann was the toughest person on the team and how much he was going to enjoy playing alongside him. just because a player wants a position does not mean they are going to get it

With Turbo - 39
Without Turbo - 34

Not playing with Turbo this season.

Hutchison and RFM won’t be PODs if they get the spot, it’s just a case of whether they get the spot

I’m surprised if you’re trying to be different you’re picking Wong. I actually think he’s a trap.

His only 80 min games have come with injury/send offs
R23: Brown sent off on first tackle, May and Baker with 16 min and 0 mins on bench (no Crichton on bench)
R26: Manu injured after 20 mins (played game out at CTR)
FW1: Suaali’i and Manu injured (played game out at CTR)

Crichton if he starts could be a keeper EDG with historical 50+ scores

Exactly? If Brown/Gutho/Lane/Sivo are playing and firing Harper scores in the 40s, which he has done most seasons in his career that have not been COVID affected or where there has been a key playmaker taken out of the team.

it is a bit gutfeel, i do admit, but so is the vehement opposition to him

Just keep an eye out if Radley gets injured and he starts playing lock. In NSW Cup, he was playing 80 minutes at lock towards the end of last season, with scores of 60, 70, 58, 71 and 70 with just 2 tries total in those games.

The Dolphin Conspiracies wrote:A good pre-season team list should not be cookie-cutter. It should promote vociferous debate that promotes just enough cognitive dissonance to allow people to challenge their perspective and make errors before the season rather than during.

With this in mind, I present my current team list featuring 3 x < 1%ers and an additional 2 x < 3% ers.

PS I am serious about Harper. He is a super POD because of the Talakai incident, but his fantasy pedigree at CTR is actually quite consistent and good. By shifting from Moanly to the Eels and joining the lethal Brown-Lane-Sivo side, I am taking the gamble that he will score a low to mid-40s average and turbo boost my season. At 0.1% ownership, it could be the ballsy move MattNZ wishes he had made but was not smart enough to make.

If not, as Camo suggests, I can just filter down to the best-performing base price CTR on the way up.

Pile of guys I think are undervalued and I like watching, some cheapies for the budget plus Staggs who I had last year through 13 rounds and want to punish myself again (actually think he goes looking for a bit more work in Herbies absence and the Broncos get better again this year)

Vociferise away

I don’t think Luki starts; could be wrong. Do centres really look for work outside Manu and Turbo in Origin? You’re a brave man banking on two mid centres to jump to gun tear. I like the Munster pick.
