I look at te marie martin at $12K deeper and with the panthers early draw I see him as much more attractive option

on another note: who would you guys pick up between moylan vs tturbo for the last playing wfb spot? (hayne and tuivasa will be taking up most teams first 2 spots i imagine)

to me they seem the best premium options without forking out for teddy

Turbo for me, hands down, but obviously need to see where BOTH of them are actually playing this year.

RE -Aaron Gray,s injury - Medial ligament 4 - 8 weeks depending on severity, getting scans tomorrow.

I think it was WL who was talking about Klemmers hair and beard, jez he looks different and nowhere near as fearsome, looks a bit silly actually

Have a feeling Robert Jennings won't be the benefactor if gray doesn't start the season. Angus Chriton could start at centre.

It wasn't me Shanbon but I was just going to post that Klemmer looks weird with that beard & that beard has affected his mongrel factor.

That is possible however I see Hunt and Goodwin as centres now and one wing spot now for Burns , Jennings or Talakai.

That was me. Saw hm at the airport and didn't recognise him at first

How many people get turned over my selecting Sironen when he gets names to start on the edge for Manly R1 based purely after this 9s showing

A couple of years ago J-Brom had a great offload game but for whatever reason he played more conservatively in 2016. Do we think he'll use the offload more in 2017.

You can't spell Sironen without NO.

Also on Manly wasn't AFB a total fart yesterday. After reading the Manly forums & players saying he was ripping it up in pre season you wouldn't even know he was on the field. I expected so much more from him. On the other hand B. Lawrence did go well. Anyone tempted to go for Tamou after yesterdays performance. The good thing about the nines is that you can see which players are ahead of the curve in terms of fitness/conditioning & he's looking good to me.

I put Blaw and Siro in my team after yesterday and bloody siro scored another good try today..

I was tempted by Tamou but they really are stacked with forwards makes me want to watch him first

Sironen is absolute fantasy mud

Not too sure if ya should take too much notice of the 9,s when selecting your team.

was considering alex glenn as ive read he performed well yesterday at the 9s which made me curious

only have access to his 2015 stats which are:

11 games 80 mins 38 pt avg 0.475ppm

10 games 37.4 mins (28-57) 25.2 pt avg 0.67ppm

he is priced at 32.3 average right now. so there could be small room for improvement if he gets 80mins at 2rf consistently.

im assuming he shifted to centre at various stages last year affecting his scores. perhaps week 20 where he scored 19pts. this is a risk factor with him

compared with others around that price he has more potential for increased minutes, i am still leaning towards smats at this price point.


just looking at r.hoffman. i think he may be the worst 80min backrower fantasy wise in the game

seen D Saifiti drop the ball yesterday in contact so I've dropped him from
my team....

He isnt at the 9s and thaiday/gillett will be the starting 2rfs

I know.. but I think he'll make money. That's all I want from him

What is he priced at? And how much do you think he will score/make $
