NRL Fantasy 2024 Part 3 - Half the height we want

I was just looking at this same thing in order to free up cash elsewhere (downgrading Ponga).
Added benefit that the CTR DPP will help cover any issues with Burbo that might arise.

Cobbo should be getting his hands on the ball more and have an abundance of opportunities whenever Walsh interjects himself into the line.
Enjoyable pick for sure

Then TLT part 2 either dishes up a cheap centre (Strange in the halves, Iro after a Sharks injury) or I grab someone like Reimis Smith to cover the job security issue. I think running Burbo in the starting spot and having someone like Cotric as your only depth is just locking in a trade

Shhhhh...
Penisini everyone. Remember the "fun" jokes about the penis you can all make when he's your pick-and-stick Centre!!

I heard Burbo was gonna gun it ...

You could run a 'Penis-burp' centre pairing just for the laughs.

(Forget the name Cobbo)

The Raiders complained to the NRL about Kris not getting the exemption for the all stars but Jacob Gagai getting it.

No dice, he's still suspended.

Something about the seriousness of the offence.

It's raining Ricky Stewart tears here in Canberra

Was Cobbo a fun pick before he beat up a bunch of reserve graders

Haha this

Feels priced about what he will score. Guess DPP is nice tho.

I may end up with him as well, but along with the questions over whether he is an NRL player...
- Seibold has shown the "other" edge is probably a 50-60 minute edge.
- Combined with a career output of about 0.5PPM (he won't be playing that Tigers team every week... or until R25 when you better hope you don't still have him!)
- On one occasion he managed to string 5 games together (3 of those being 20mins or fewer)
- IF he averages 25-30 from his 50-60 minutes for 4 or 5 weeks, is he really going to do enough to be worthwhile... maybe? (but it certainly ain't pretty)
- Has a better player ready to take his spot, assuming the said better player can get fit and uninjured...

It seems like a probably inevitable but slightly regrettable pick that we're all going to resent to some degree

I think the DPP is everything, although..

While he is appropriately priced, I don't think it's out of the realm of possibilities to see an increase in tackles and touches of the ball. If he can maintain his meter totals and continue to break the line/tackles playing off Walsh, I can see 5 points of value and potential keeper status.
