    I'm tossing whether Watson is better value than JRey or not

    JReyns lowest average was last year at 33. Previous seasons of 37, 45, 40 (avg 41)


    He also had a few games from the bench which obviously affected his scores

    My concern also with JRey is that Benji makes his way onto the bench

    Snap.

    I'd put in both if I could, both should increase in value, but both also chances at being stuck in mid ranger territory if they don't elevate to the higher end of their scoring potential, so will likely run with one to start season with Croker/Carty

    yup 38 average minus injury affected games in a team with an awful attacking structure

    If he did would more likely to be to spell Liddle/Mcillwrick then moving JRey moving into hooker

    Speculation, but I would say Fifita, Vaughan, Taupau, Woods.

    There are question marks over Fifita (fitness) Vaughan (with Graham) and Woods (Origin and new team). NOBODY has mentioned Taupau yet - he can be rocks and diamonds and is priced at his value. But DPP and with a secure role he could be a very good early POD pick.

    I think Vaughan will come back down a little after going massive in 2017

    People might argue about whether or not Teddy will improve in a team that doesn't rely on him. But surely Woods will see less workload now that he is in a team that has quality forwards. No need for him to do everything.

    Taupau has been mentioned a few times. He has averaged about the same for the past 3 years now. Nothing has changed to change that. He can go large, but not quite as consistently as some.

    That said, these guys might all still end up in the top 4, because most of the top front rowers from recent seasons are 2RF only in the game these days.

    I can't afford Croft currently but he would 100% be my guy if I could

    Reckon he could be the one I agonise over, leave out and immediately regret it

    Aubbs or Aitken

    Aitken is an animal when fully fit and now has a quality halves partner for Widdop, much more attacking intent

    Still too young? If he gets 60+ minutes he becomes very interesting

    By all accounts he played well against the storm.

    Obviously Teddy will be my target but I'm hoping that I wont have to trade out Dufty or Ponga and only upgrade Coote to Teddy
