Probably. Not a lot to go on but last five games where he averaged 69.6 minutes he averaged 53.2 although there was one try in there. I've been working on a prediction of 50, but working those figures through for sixty minutes gives 53.2/69.6 x 60 = 45.9.

Or he gets benched and 9% of teams, me included are cursing.

He was outstanding last year in limited matches, if he gets good minutes he will turn into a fantasy gun, I'm sure of that

His role is the biggest question mark, I started with him but he has drifted out of my team, think I will give him 2/3 rounds to figure out his minutes before committing

I don't think he is the type of player to explode and price rockets out of reach within a few rounds, just a steady burner so I should be safe

Keary could even miss the first round or two. Gives Cronk and Maubbs potentially more opportunity to gel. People have commented on Cronk's effect on Proctor and Kaufusi. Hopefully Matterson stays injury free and becomes the new Mr Fix It. Welcome back Maubbs

I've got him locked in my team ATM but it worries me no one has mentioned him?

A permanent starting 2RF position for Maubbs with near 80mins instant lock in the CTR or 1-4 reserve position CTR/2RF for coverage, 2nd person picked after Captain Cam

Priced at 56 how does he do any better? 9 tries, 14 TA's, 351 kms per game. 56 is by far the best avg he has had in five years. I'm not saying he can't do it again but surely there's better value?

I concur

Nek Minnit, Ferguson and Manu both collide with Matterson causing mulitiple injuries, each sidelined for x amount of varying time.....Aubbs gets moved to centre....do you stick and hope the injuries are short term...or dump the Aubbs

Looks good - apart from Cartwright in the halves.  

Milchcow wrote:

Will you be playing Cartwright even if he starts on the bench? Would make your halves pretty weak.

Also no 2RF cover to speak of.
Butcher (or equivalent priced replacement) bit dodgy if you need to play him 1 round due to short term injury/suspension.


I think having both Tedesco and Rapana is killing the rest of your team too much. I would downgrade one upgrade halves/2rf

So did Ryan James
