See the last comment about Ponga / Phythian.

As for Elgey I am not convinced Elgey is even close to a must have.

Hampton as a bench hooker may make a small amount of cash, but his real value is when Origin kicks in and he plays 4 or 5 games starting. No need to waste a trade as he is already in the team. Don't really need him before then.

How does Hampton start 4-5 games. Round 15 sure, maybe one or two more IF Morgan or JT get rested, what am I missing?

Beat me to it

Who in that Manly team gives Koro a rest at hooker? Quite a fan of his and wondering if he's an option?

Hastings isn't too far away is he?

Until Hastings returns from his op or whatever it was.

Goodwin should not even be in first grade

or I could upgrade Hampton to Elgey and downgrade Bateman to Hess or N.Brown to Daifiti. Seems a waste though if Elgey is not in my 17. How much do people really expect him to rise in value. Either that or make a Michael Morgan voodoo doll

Potential redemption star story??

Braver man than I to include him in your team. I mean there is plenty of reasons he could have a big year football wise (we have attacking threat accross the park so you can hardly afford to commit to heavily to him in D or you open up someone outside him, been training well enough to impress Ricky who turned BJ around, last chance etc etc bla bla) but minutes are pretty limited in that pack so I'm not sold on big fantasy scores. He's likely taking the spot of Lima/Priest once Paulo returns in week 2 and from memory they didn't get a huge amount of minutes last year (I could be wrong here). 

Then again i guess DT is the kinda player who may score huge in 1 or 2 plays so perhaps minutes doesn't mean a great deal for him.

What your saying about Elgey doesn't make sense to me. Why is it a waste to have him as an NPR? If he's good enough to score points for you're team then surely he's good enough to sit on the bench and make cash

just on elgey 197k, i think he is a safe bet to make money for your team with a pretty low risk.

when compared with other 80 minutes halves in 2016. the lowest performer (correct me if im wrong) was robson 259k followed by sezer 283k. so that is the lowest benchmark to expect from a half.

not the most accurate way to look at things. but gives you an idea of what to expect. if an egghead like robson can fumble his way to 259. a young half with some speed should be able to surpass him in value

I think what he's saying is it feels like a waste to upgrade an NPR at the cost of downgrading someone you would have in your 17.

Oh wow, i didn't realise Ricky had actually said something about Eddie and Feno in that article. Jeepus. Sucks . This bloody offseason....

You say about explosive scoring but McGuire scoring 50 is only 2 points above his average last year?

That's his average welshy

McGuire has loads of 60+ potential

Wouldn't have a 50 Ave if didnt

I don't trust sticky even after all these years

If I was to hazard a guess of mins distribution in 13 jersey then expect Bateman to be lions share.

Tapine is interesting nuisance value to that, given whitehead is 80mins and it doesn't leave much space when you bring Dave Taylor into the mix who also needs edge minutes.

All in all I can see Soli and perhaps even Papalli ending up pretty quickly in a prop rotation, with Vaughan now gone

Welshy wrote:That Peats injury is a real kick in the balls!

Had AshTaylor pegged for gun elevation his year (bulk KM, GK duties) but now TRoberts will almost be guaranteed to start somewhere be it at hooker and steal his GK duties and KM or at FB in place of Hayne if injury!

Bastard!

Any value in TRoberts if he's going to play hooker or fullback?

His average yeah, so that would mean some 40s as well?

25-30mins of impact per match unfortunately

He'd be awesome with 60' at that price

Definite watch list

Yeah probably in round 1 or 2 to make me question my life's every decision hahaha

He's a keeper until origin for me
