What are you basing this on? Lower grade stats say otherwise

All the Jennings boys got Tbs in em' just think Burns scores will be highly dependent on tries

Not sideways if Prior continues to get 42 minutes and Wallace gets 55 mins +. If that is the case Prior will average (35-40) and Wallace (40-50).

Makes sense, but we haven't seen what minutes Wallace will get in a non injury affected team.

In most recent lower grade game they both scored 2 tries. Burns 5 TBs Rennings 0 or 1 can't find the post I saw but was low

averaged 46 over the last half of the season, was perceived no.1 prop wasn't much not to like about him really.

Burns 57

Teddy will probably still average 50 but that's what he's priced at, he won't hit 90's too often over the next wee while one would think.

For those picking based on fixtures, I'd just like to point out that the Tigers have a very good record against the Storm at Leichhardt.
Only lost in golden point last year, and have beaten them plenty of times there

Disagree. Scored a nice try, but did practically nothing other than that, and scored about 5 points outside that one play. Missed tackles, didn't involve himself and looked SLOW when chased down by Semi with about 20 yards start from DCE's break.

It may be that he went into his shell after that big hit/welcome to first grade lesson, but I didn't see enough of him to put in my 17 again. Suli, on the other hand, looks a natural in a team that likes to spin it wide, and will score a hell of a lot more tries than Manly. That logic works for Cotric as well.

For the contrary opinion, Suli was being marked by a guy with one leg. He won't get easy tackle breaks like that every week.
There was a time in the 2nd half when Brooks got an intercept, started running down field. If Suli (the nearest Tiger player) had run in support he was a very good chance of a try. But the slacker didn't even jog after the ball, just stood and watched.


Manly had to defend most of the game. Kelly didn't really get a chance to see shoe he could do.

Pretty sure Burns played FB too in lower grades so more opportunity then the winger

In potentially 11 extra minutes. If he backs it up this week I'm all over him but it's a wait and see for me as all my players scored what I expected. If I had a failed mid ranger in Saifiti/JWH etc. I would be considering it

True, I am on the fence abit, hence I keep asking people questions about potential trades   . If I wait a week to see how they both go, I won't have the cash to do a straight trade. Other thought is simply downgrade JWH to Musgrove/Matagi, but I don't see them making 200k (100k to trade them in, 100k to trade them out) or more points than jwh, although the $100k would give me 250k to start upgrading my cows/mid rangers in a few rounds.

Scratch the trade to another midranger, even a cheap one, just a sideways trade for no real gain besides a cash grab now with potential for 70k then will be back in 6 weeks asking who upgrade to.

I read average of 39 in 15/20 games of +40mins so priced around what he's worth but why the rush to sell after 1 game from many?

Can't seem to find it in spreadsheet page. Looking for last year stats spreadsheet.

I'm still dirty the 30k I kept spare in case a cheapie turned out to be a dud isn't enough to go Python - Suli....

Opinions on Hayne?

He's being written of as a trap by some.

Is there any reason why people think he cant get back the form he had prior to his NFL adventure? Maybe lost a yard of speed but still young enough and certainly still has the talent, could just be an attitude thing.

Will the the Hayne plane take off again or has it been permanently grounded?

Itll take off again for sure - problem is it only takes off for 20min at a time, once a month.

To me it is a case if you don't have him then I wouldn't be too concerned about bringing him in. But if I have him (which I do) then play him. He is gonna get better and if he bombs then no big loss as most serious teams will be running with him. I reckon he will end with a mid to high 30s average.... more if he gets over how great he thinks he is.

I'm in the exact same boat except it's Moga I'm after

Didn't he get fined over training tardiness by his teammates. That never augers well

New season, could be stuck with mid ranger, guys like Wallace look better options and currently cheaper and buys like Musgrove/AFB can provide Simao scores for ~80-90k cheaper

Hayne seems like a guy who will put in some effort now because of all the negative press about him. Its the "me me me" attitude he has. But it will hopefully mean fantasy points.

He'll be fine he just has a lot of haters. Apparently the fine for being late to training was actually for going to Sydney for rehab as well.
