I don't think Leniu will be relevant but there are plenty of examples. Yeo didn't have a fantasy relevant role until his 7th year, bouncing around as a non keeper second rower. Cotter was a bench player/fringe first grader until his 4th year. Shaun Lane had 7 years as a non keeper second rower before breaking out to a 50+ scorer. Mitch Moses didn't hit a 50 average until his 6th season

This is really misleading. and Cherry picking at its very best

Turbo has a single season when he morphed into the greatest fantasy player ever. This was in 2021

He's had 2 injury plagued follow up seasons

2022 avg 38. 7 games played

2023 avg 48. 11 games played

His legacy average, playing fullback in minutes over 70. which includes his once in a lifetime 80 season average is....51

You can't pick a 2 game sample and say ahhh he was heading back to 2021 form. Pick him thinking he can get up around the 50 mark by all means but thinking he's going to go anywhere the 2021 season isn't happening

I've generally always gone the gun/rookie route and find myself burning trades through the first half of the season with too much investment in 4 or 5 players who start the season at peak price. It's a gamble but figure this year I might structure my team to have upside right across it without relying on a few big scorers and the rest risky short-termers.

In saying that I'll probably retract my scrotum at the last minute and bring in Hynes/Haas/Murray for fear of missing out!

JMK
Brown Hughes Tatola
Curran Lane
Cleary Fogarty
Penisini Hammer
Paps JAC Campbell/Kini
Cheese Willison Duncan Luki
Blore Weekes Burbo Armstrong/Levi

If Campbell starts R1 will run with him and Armstrong, if Kini starts R1 will run with him and Levi.

Risking it with no adequate halves cover, if Hands gets the Eels hooker role could drop a middle for him.

So he's Amone but with less running and more passing.

Good for IRL footy bad for fantasy maybe?

Still hard to pass up at the price.

Amone averaged 30 at 6 in the last two years, and you want the same thing with less running?  
Regardless, I could see myself ending up with Flano in NPRs. Cheap enough, really. Only 5 days til i create a squad!

Haha I was able to recall the players but had to check the exact circumstances.
