Yep, will send you something

Schuster and Koroisau for R1

Kini Im mostly sold on, he definitely gets atleast 3 games. But Burbo and Palasia could be on the bench come round 2.

most likely one game - gc has second round bye and Campbell due back r3

Starting with Schuster is a bold choice

How many weeks you willing to hold him for if he doesn't return to the field quickly?

i am banking on a r2 return at an awkward price that others will struggle with to bring him in immediately

we'll all have 4 or 5 midrangers after round 1 that we want to punt after one bad score.

Possible max upside: you get his R2 50 points and resulting 22k price increase. Everyone else sells Hutch to buy him in R3.

Possible max downside: you lock out 400k for 4 weeks whilst burbo increases to 360k, and you're behind a high ownership cashy.

Trying to work out whether it’s better to sure up centre and have Penis and Suli and whether you can get away with Pap, Kris and Weekes/Kini back 3 or whether I should take a Teddy or Ponga….

Any word on Simo injury?

What is the attraction in Moses Suli?

is it because he got to beat up on the Tigers on the weekend, or is there something more to it?

Whispers that Roosters are training Tupouinua and Wong on the edge with Leniu at prop.

Think I would take both edges in that case

EDIT: Glad to see this was covered in depth on the last few pages

Average 41 in 2022 with solid floor. No early bye until R11

I had him pre trials and took out because he was on Flanagan’s side but edge of Ravalawa/Suli/Leilua is actually worthy of not being an easy matchup

If anyones keen on a $25 overall cash league DM me for details/code on Instagram @ NRL Fantasy Scout

Even if Angus and N. Butcher we’re both on the bench?

I think I want both Piakura and Luki

Was being mentioned before the Tigers game.

I think much the same reason as guys like Xerri, Simonsson and Montoya for me.. sub 500k guys with job security that could go on a run.

Suli hit the 40 avg in 2022, so maybe hoping for a return to that form. Coach referred to Suli and Sua as their attacking weapons or something to that effect.

This year I'm investing in Leniu again. He's been going up the whole month of February, and I've got a feeling he's going to peak right around May and BANG! That's when I'll cash in!

Leniu Stonks:

hutch is going to score well as well and everyone will want to keep him

burbo will play 80 minutes for a score of 17 and and drop to 249k - entirely plausible scenario - as his is a round 2 return for schuster - 400 k is not a lot to leave not scoring

Yes even if both Angus and Butcher are on the bench. Theory being that the starters have the spot on form and probably get atleast 4-5 weeks before any non injury changes

I've gone off Schuster every since I heard he looked out of shape and needed a golf cart to finish a round of 18 last week (makes sense with a calf injury but also not the greatest observation for rehab).

Sauce - Boom or Bust podcast (i think) - Mitch was in the golf group behind Schuster

Robbo often does switcheroos though Robbo roulette!
