Add RTS and Cobbo

Yeah I kinda scrolled past them for now with their positional changes, but definitely ones to keep an eye on.

Sitili - may

Surely wait a week on Smithies, Horse is back next round and his price wont have blown out if still starting lock.

Tolo>May?

Few random thoughts/questions from the previous pages:

On the Kiraz scoring thread there's also a reasonable correlation between the Bulldogs getting pumped and Kiraz not scoring well. Hope for the Bulldogs season he can stay injury free :p

Has anyone said that Horse is going back to 40 minutes? He was excellent for them last year to the point of earning an origin call up and Ricky loves him. Just a team balance thing to put him back on the bench?

Also really struggling for trade outs, but at this stage looking like spending the 400k warchest on Sitili and Lolo to Liddle/Turbo/Terrell.
Will also be spewing when Lolo plays 50+ at a ppm. If Chan not named then easy out to Terrell and one of the others.

Also interested in the other Lussick if Egan out for a few weeks. Not as creative but looked pretty sharp in the trials, has a better sense of self preservation (gotta feel for Egan, guy can't catch a break)

Hoping to pick up Tago <600 post Panthers bye.

Tigers halves can wait a week (or 3)

Fuck it's good to have the footy and fantasy back. Onwards and upwards from 90k!

You had a 3 MID bench when assigning minutes, if it is Hosking and Starling they have a 2 MID bench.

Correct because I wasn’t predicting the whole bench but I see what you mean if you’re saying they’re gonna pick a guy that can play middle and edge as the 3rd forward

McIntyre if gets the Hess role and plays around 40mins if he can avg say 33 the next 3 weeks he will make 80k hhhmmmm

Correct but he was first forward on off the bench the other day in that game. If he does get 35-45mins in that range there is value.

I think I might flick Cotter…

TU: Cotter to May
TD: Cotter to Fog


Our Roosters fans on here what are we expecting from May around 45mins and a high 40’s avg?

Sitili is a mad trade-out of he's named. Priced at 30 and usually an 80 minute edge when he's played there. If there's a long-term injury update then yes, but if there isn't then Christ no.

Sitili is not an 80 minute edge as long as Nat Butcher is on that bench, we saw in Vegas that none of them will get 80. He'll average mid to high 30s in that role unless there's an injury to Wong or Nat

Baffled as to how "we saw in Vegas that none of them will get 80" when both of them got injured in Vegas.

From my Team tracker, "Roosters rotation seemed all over the place at Vegas. Hopefully we see something a bit more standard in round 2. What looks to be the case based on what we saw before injuries was Wong will be spelled by Butcher around the 30 minute mark with Sitili to play 80. Wong then comes back on with around 20 to go with Butcher finishing out the game in the middle."

How many mins do you think for May mate? I know nobody really knows but just interested what people project him at. I don’t think he gets 50mins but low to mid 40’s mins probs quite possible?JWH is getting older now so probs comes back to a 40mins role maybe?

His minutes were definitely inflated with the injuries, and JWH probably plays around 5-10 more minutes then Leniu as a starter. I'd say around 35 with a rotation similar to this

JWH 45
Cheese 60
Collins 55
Wong 50
Sitili 80
Radley 70
Ssmith 20
Whyte 15
Butcher 50
May 35

But You could also see cheese spend time at Lock and JWH and Collins are definitely capable of more minuets. Id say at least 25 and at most 40 baring injury. with 30-35 being a good average.

Worrying about the minutes is why I didn't get him last week. I waited and I saw. Was one of those guys beasting last season and you say "I don't care if he's on the bench, I'm getting him for 500k" and then you pussy out.

Its always tricky with roosters forwards they have so many guys who play multiple positions in the forward pack, 2 edges that can play in the middle and a hooker who can spend time in the middle. there lock can spend time on the edge, and then they have 4 middles who probably cant play on an edge.

Just re-watched the Tigers trial. Confident picking up Sullivan if he is named at 7, with Galvin at 6.

Only real risk is Tigers, but we would have said the same about Raiders and Dragons in round 1 too.

Probably not but Fogarty got 5 tackles under his average for 2023 and 8 under for 2022 average so that might offset the higher KM

He’s undeniably going to be a dominant half and have value

Honestly Hynes sticks out on those stats. Hopefully drops enough ripe for a R6 pickup

I think Fogarty is a great pick if you already own him. I don't think he is a must have trade in like some are treating it. The team kick metres will drop off a little and the percentage will wind back a little. Probably settles at around a 52 average

Pretty sure it will be the same teams trading out green dots in round 2 who will be complaining about having to play one short in round 5.

I suspect I'll have a few red dots to deal with first.

I think its more likely you two have been put on restricted minutes so no other forum poaches you

This is offseason quality shitposting right in the middle of the fantasy week. When he hangs up the boots Revs will go down as one of the all time great shit posters

Not sure what people were expecting in picking Levi, with Starling on the bench. He gets 57 minutes straight, before going off with a minor injury and still not happy and want to trade him out.

I think he is a hold if you own him and not a buy if you don't

He was on for an absolute shocker before the try and could end up benched/with lower minutes at any time
