hard to gauge with Matagi, Vave, and Pritchard all new to the club as well, bit of a lottery. Mannah being given the captaincy also suggests he will start. I'm surprised he still gets picked in the 17 to be honest.

Matagi averaged 29 mins last year, Vave 35, Mannah 40 mins and N Brown 46 mins. There is an extra 10 minutes of game time for someone to pick up here.

On an 8 game stretch from round 9 to round 17 Nathan Brown averaged 46.5 from 52 mins. If he could get anywhere near 50 minutes I think he could get 45 points per game priced at 40.

Then you have Alvaro who averaged 37 minutes and also Frank Pritchard, so yeah it is a bit of a lottery. I enjoyed watching Nathan Brown last year.

Edit: When he either started at lock or prop last year he averaged 45. Maybe there isn't much room for improvement.

Mate Mannah has the quickest play the ball of any prop in the comp.

He's got a history of dishing them out.

Hey Sik, looking into your issue but can't respond to your PMs as they come up as anonymous. Can you try a different device when you get a chance please, your account 'looks' active so no issues there.

Edit: I (Random) have sent you an email to both your email accounts listed to help assist with that mate.

Adam Blair is quick, but his are illegal. How the fuck he gets away with pushing up on the ball and playing it all in the same motion time after time is beyond me.

Ben Barba has been signed by the Sharks for 1 year.

Not sure how that plays out for Bird and Holmes now.

Implying one could stray from Simona. You forget that Simona plays as the Center, so he just makes Naiqama look good.

Ben Barba has suffered a major setback after the NRL rejected the troubled star's request to return to training with reigning premiers Cronulla. It is understood he must present the NRL with a detailed rehabilitation plan before head office will even consider giving the green light to return.

Think there is some real value there in the same mould as Paul Vaughan.

Value Props I have looked at

Vaughan
N Brown
Addin Fonua Blake
Jo Ofa
(Think these players stand out as big value)

Jarrad Wallace
George Burgess
Daniel Saifiti
Matt Prior
(To me, this group will average 40 points if they get 45-50 minutes each game)

Kaufusi/Asiata/Hoare/Spina
Lloyd Perret
(not sure I even want to risk going with a rookie type prop).

What about JWH has he been discussed yet

Yeah I am filthy he is no longer at the Broncos however I think he left of his own accord and signed with the Cowboys/Blackhawks. He was injured for a fair chunk of last year also. I think his best position is FB so with Boyd and Kahu there it would take a few injuries before he would have got a crack at first grade. The bloke is a freak though and I have no doubt he will get his chance at some point.

No, I am filthy.
