And regarding Crichton not being a great pick in my opinion.. I cast my mind back to guys like Carter, Turner and N Brown at Souths last year who had some money making potential early on after some good scores and minutes.. but that quickly fell away as bench rotations varied week-to-week.
Even Sam Burge had people nervous when he shifted from big minutes at LK to lesser minutes at FR.
Sometimes I think people overvalue the byes and whatever points may be gained those weeks, is offset by having a 40 point average player instead of a 50 point average with worse byes.
Did Rabbits have the better byes last year too? I remember guys like Manu Ma'u, Gordon, Moeroa etc. from the Eels being overvalued for byes last year.
