I know the argument is that McInnes is not value if Finucane is in the team based on the following:

With Finucane: 45 in 49 mins
Without Finucane: 58 in 60

but in those games with Finucane, he only played starting Lock 4 times for 53 in 56 mins.

Considering he's priced at 51, he's priced at his floor.

Also consider that Finucane is 33 this year, McInnes only 30. McInnes has been given captaincy (so they see him as a leader/future of the club).

Edit: If you prefer more generalised stats, since joining the Sharks in 2022, McInnes has averaged 58 in 59 minutes as a starting lock.

To summarise:

Much like a lot of other players in my team, McInnes is priced at his floor, with big potential upside. If Finucane is on the outer, or plays fewer minutes in general as he ages, McInnes will get an even bigger role. We all know what McInnes can do with big minutes, and so the upside is clear.

Thank you for coming to my ted talk, and welcome to the team Cameron.

You sound so smart and so well educated yet you take a simple phrase like ‘do your own research’ and then decide to use the literal meaning! FFS, who seriously expects anyone to go out in the field and gather their own information. The term is used by us common folk to mean gather your info from various sources, not just pick a player because Steve on this site recommended it. Gees you must have a massive pool!

I loathe the phrase 'do your own research'.


I've been a professional researcher. At a good university. I, my wife and almost everyone I knew, did pretty much nothing but conduct research and talk about it - day in and day out.


We didn't 'do our own research' outside of the tiny, tiny, miniscule bloody sphere of our world-class expertise. Like, seriously. If you want to talk about optimising theoretical energy market design to allow for rainfall  changes in dam design along the upper Mekong, Paulie will talk to you happily! But ask him about same issue on the upper Irriwaddy and he'll refer you to someone else - and expert in that field.


There's a reason that the cookie-cutter and community teams do well - and it isn't because they do their own research.


It is because they use the research of other experts.


That's what 97% of research is! It's reading the stuff some experts have written down, thinking about it, then copying it out again.


There are forum members here who have expertise. There are forum members here who post a lot. There is some overlap in those circles.


That's the research most people should be doing - identifying the difference between me and DK.


For everything, everything else, there's the community team. That's the research. Use it. Refer people to it.

and i'm out.:

Prediction time, who will actually be NSW hooker(s) this year?

Cook get his spot back. Api and/or Robson.  someone else altogether?

If Api doesn't play origin, and indeed his goal kicking with big minutes, then he is great to hold as a keeper all through byes (and beyond)

I always love having him in my team, one of my fav players to watch and own.  With that bench though, does he realistically get the minutes?
