NRL Fantasy 2024 Part 8 - May we have a new Roosters forward

So we think he keeps up his scoring in a bottom 8 raiders?

Starling might play a bit of lock role too .

Career average of 58 playing 80 at second row and he's the sort to rip in to try claim the spot. Maybe loses out to Horse or something round 3?

True, but hard to ignore the strike rate. Looks tough to stop close to the line with that frame.

I don't mind the Kiraz pick too though. Any space for him at WFB?

What’s changed, McIntyre (Bob Jane) would have played EDG for a bit anyway

I can have Kris at 17 but then I have 4 players available at centre which seems like madness (even if 1 is playing half and 1 second row)

Chan is surely a trap. Blore coming across was always going to be the play. Chan may get one to two weeks.

This year we have a little bit of forward depth, and I see him either knocking King to the bench or coming in for MacDonald and playing that bench impact role from 2020. Bellyache isn’t really the type to play games with team lists and pretty sure they see Blore more as a Middle/Lock. If Chan is named I would say he has that spot until he shows he isn’t up to it or if he gets injured. Only competition is Bradley who is untested and Chan looked a goer from the limited time he got last year. Could be his reward? I’m going for it.

Fair chance, but his price isn't going to rise out of sight of you give it a couple of weeks to see.

Honey Badger wrote:How good is the ctr position this year. We have two base price cheapies, one playing 2nd row, one playing in the halves. All the exciting dual players with big attacking upside - RTS, May, Kiraz, Cobbo, Garrick. Plus Wighton to come in eventually. And I haven't even mentioned the traditional guns like Manu, Gagai etc. And to top it off Talau maybe getting a run next week

Yeah I agree, looking at Chan's fantasy stats on Yafss (amazing work ynot) they look very average. That combined with NAS and Blore to come into that pack I think he's an easy avoid.

However deciding which cow is worth getting in instead is quite difficult.
