This probably just means more missed tackles at the end of the game when he gets tired.

With some of them changing clubs/roles/benches they may get more minutes (which we can't really know yet), but I thought I would analyse if the increase in minutes is likely to make much difference if they got them. The following is the average of hookers when they play 70+ minutes. (70 just seemed like a good number for some reason).

Luke: Avg 52.4 over 13 games, priced at 48.5 value 3.9
McInnes: Avg 58.6 over 8 games, priced at 50 value 8.6
McCullogh: Avg 51 over 10 games, priced at 45.2 value 5.8
Peats: Avg 49.4 over 7 games, priced at 44.8 value 4.6
Farah: Avg 58.3 over 4 games, priced at 45.9 value 12.4  

Then the question is who is most likely to get 70+ minutes each week. Farah would seem to be great value but with the byes and origin would be hard to pick especially with Cook there. Those looking at McInnes might be on the money especially if Mcrone plays half.

Thoughts?

Yeah, except for the fact that there will be two Sharks hookers now sharing time instead of just Ennis, although they did have Beale on the bench a lot last year.

What are this chances KFP owns this latest alt? Probably should have checked "Fantasy Fanatic Ultimate League Winner" wasn't locked to the IP address when creating a new account.
Don't need an excuse to play fantasy again KFP just do it.

What are the chances it is me? None at all. Random or SI can attest to that by doing an IP check. Plus the one alt I created on this forum I told Honeysett weeks before creating said account. I have not created one since Joey Johns and I dont have any plans of doing so in the near future. It is nice to know I'm in your mind during the off season. Thanks sweetie.
