Reece Robson: Never would of expected this, but through the first 5 rounds Robson is the best scoring hooker in fantasy. If he misses the first origin game and stays healthy I can keep him till at least round 15.
Terrell May: After averaging nearly 55 minutes through the first 4 founds for an average of 59.3, Terrell got more "Standard" bench minutes in round 5 racking in 23 points in 20 minutes. Definitely somewhat of a worry, but will be holding and watching closely over the coming weeks. If he scores well enough to hold till Origin period he should start to rack up close to 50/60 minutes through the period with all the rep players the roosters have under the salary sombrero.
Cameron Murray: Murray has been Mr consistent for me through the first 5 rounds, averaging 56 with a low of 48. The only worry for Cam is that his minutes have dropped since Duncan joined the top 17. With Murray all but a lock for origin, I will either be trading out for the bye in round 7 or trading out for round 13.
Jacob Saifiti: Up to 85k made through 5 rounds, and for a pick I wasn't completely confident with going in to the year I am very happy with this pick. He's very close to maxing out on cash generation now and will probably fall short of 100k in price rises. Definitely someone I will be selling in the next couple of rounds, but he has been one of the few bright spots in my team thus far.
Kai Pierce-Paul: No complaints here, he's averaging 50 as a starter and looks like he's only scraping the surface. He's making plenty of cash, and will be a great hold through origin as he plays 2 of the 3 major bye rounds. KPP is an early nominee for first picked in my 2025 fantasy team.
Angus Crichton: Picking him up last week when everyone else was having a look seems to have payed off for me. Played 80 minutes (might have been injury effected) and scored 59. Lets hope he follows this up in round 6. Probably a hold through origin at this stage.
Jamal Fogarty: Came back down to earth in a game where you'd think he'd score well considering how dominant the Raiders were. I did captain him for his lowest score of the year. Hopefully this was a 1 off because otherwise he has been a fantastic fantasy pick for me. Has all 3 byes between round 10 and 19, but does play the first 2 major bye rounds so will probably be a hold for me through origin if he bounces back. Looking at trading out potentially in round 19.
Ethan Strange: One of the few cash cows I've been happy with through the first 5 rounds, making 117K so far. Going to hold until he maxes out on cash gen.
Blaize Talagi: Picked him up for round 5 as a cash cow. While he only scored 19 points, there is some promise. He missed 7 tackles and the eels as a whole looked woeful. 19 looks to be his absolute bottom, which for a cheap centre isn't a bad thing. Blaize looks set to make decent cash, and potentially a useful player for round 13 given 2 of my centres will probably be sells before then.
Jacob Kiraz: Its starting to look like the 89 in round 3 was a 1 off. This is disappointing as Kiraz was someone I was very high on to start the year. He's still averaging 40, but that does look like it will drop with the dogs now picking Xerri and Kiraz looks to be planted on the wing. He's not a sell as of yet but someone I may look to get off soon if he doesn't improve.
Jordan Rapana: Played out the 2nd half after after going off injured early in the game. He is in doubt for round 6 and I may look to get off if he is out this round. If he does play how ever I will most likely continue to hold. He's been a reliable POD so far and has made decent cash in the process. If he does continue to play, he will be very handy through the bye rounds playing 2 of the 3 major byes.
Ryan Papenhuyzen: As for most keeper WFB you have to ride the highs and lows. Papy has an AVG of 44 and is capable of going big. He's someone I'm definitely looking to ride with for majority of the season. Plays all but the first and last bye rounds and shouldn't be in the origin squad this year.
Jayden Campbell: Was never really worried about JC being a fullback in a bad team, hence why I picked him up as soon as he was named. Looked like he just wanted to get through his first game, but looked a lot more confident and involved in his second game back which reflected in his score. Going Campbell when a lot of people were grabbing Gutho has worked out well so far. With only 2 byes left JC is looking like a long term hold, and plays the final 2 major bye rounds which will be handy.
J'maine Hopgood: Certified fantasy GOD, in just his second fulltime season. Despite the Origin risk HopGod is someone I'll most likley hold all season, and he has a delicious looking run home with some bad teams, and some better teams that love to play through the middle.
Jaeman Salmon: Am I happy with the pick? no. Am I happy with his scores? no. Is he making solid cash? yes. Salmon is someone I'll hold until he maxes out, but ideally I can get him in the emergencies sooner rather than later.
Danny Levi: Am I happy with the pick? no. Am I happy with his scores? no. Is he making solid cash? yes. Are tries base stats for him? yes. Does he start losing cash as soon as he goes a game with out a try? yes. Levi is someone I'll hold until he maxes out. but ideally I can get him back in the emergencies sooner rather than later.
Lachlan Galvin: Suspended at the moment, but as soon as he is back, he will score good points and make good cash. Don't currently have a plan for him in terms of trading out, just gonna continue to ride with him and make a decision when he eventually stops making cash and/or stops scoring 40+. Plays all but the first bye round and doesn't have the final bye until round 26.
Samuel Hughes: Things are starting to look up for shoes, finally got good minutes on the weekend, and got a try to go a long with it. Hs price is moving along nicely now and I will hold till he maxes out. Plays first 2 major bye rounds if he survives in my team that long.
Ben Trbojevic: Hes been a solid cash cow to this point and has been someone who is playable at centre for me. He played 80 on the weekend because of Garricks injury, and that's the only reason he's not in red. I'll most likely get off soon if he doesn't get 80 this week, and I'm sure my team will look a lot nicer when I don't have 4 centres in it.
Brendan Piakura: Hasn't made me any cash thus far, but has been plagued by injury. Still a couple weeks away by the looks but I don't want to waste 2 trade to get him out and back in once he's back. When he's healthy he's a 40+ guy in the backrow for less than 400k. Only plays the final bye round but will hold as long as he's making cash once healthy.
Joe Chan: Played Qcup last week, and only managed 47 points with a try. He's in red as if he isn't named this week or is on the bench, I'll be selling.
