Yeah Guerra leaving can only help him maintain his minutes too

Hi Guys. Great site with plenty of useful information! Hopefully it'll make my team less crap this year.

I've noticed that a few people haven't been able to find Sione Katoa in the game and maybe you were expecting him to show up as a WFB. He's in there as a DPP HOK/2RF for 228K

That's a different Sione Katoa, mate.

Well then that's a great first post isn't it?

Don't sweat it bro. Yeah the Sione Katoa is the Penrith backup hooker. The Cronulla winger Sione Katoa hasn't been added to fantasy yet the slack asses.

I'm liking my current teams, but thoughts from others be great (only my 2nd year of fantasy)

Smith (C)
Bromwich, Liu (if named at lock)
Harris, Murray, RFM
Croft, Moses
Mitchell, Milne
Ponga, Dufty, Inglis

Cook
NAS
Cartwright
Garvey/Havili (whoever gets the nod)

Kenner
Leilua/Kikau ( Who do you think will be better value?)
Croker
Katoa/Fonua (IF Katoa ends up in fantasy and starts round 1)

Basically nothing left in the bank.

Great team mate. Only player I don't like is Moses but that's just my opinion. Good luck this year.

I could swap Moses for Kodi Nikorima (DPP) but unsure if he will get the kick meters, or go the other way and go Connor Watson and free up 100k, but unsure on Watson as I see pierce be extremely dominant and picking up all the fantasy points

Here's another dude in desperate need of an avatar.

Just a suggestion

Can't wait until NRL Fantasy does a much needed update with player movements and new players added to the database

Like it... lots of juicy DPP. NAS could be great with extra minutes but could also just be more of the same... would personally put him on a watchlist but downgrade him to Lodge for pretty guaranteed money-raises, and use the $100k+ difference to find alternatives to Moses and/or Dufty.

If Moses retains the goalkicking there is certainly value in him (and Gutherson is out to start the year so Moses will certainly kick for the first few rounds)

He's very much a rollercoaster though be prepared for scores of 15 and 64.

Most of Watson's NRL starts at five-eighth have been with Pearce at halfback, and he averages a respectable 40 points in these cases.

Some answers to the makeup of Titans forward pack for round 1.

Arrow back in consideration again for my team, especially if starting.

In 2017 he averaged 45 at lock.
In 2016 he averaged 35 at lock , which is what he is priced at.

Played similar minutes both years. 

Will he sustain 2017 form or will he revert back to his normal average?

I was on the Moses rollercoaster pretty much all season last year and his scores definately improve at the backend last year. He is very fustrating tho and loves a missed tackle!

Arrow quotes as having "trained the house down"

Sign him up lads.

Sounds like at least one of Arrow/James will play front row short term, and then they'll deal with the back row a few rounds in when players start returning.

The 15's were for the Tiger, the 64 for the Eel's.

The Badger's comment about the back end being better supports this.

What's his Eel's average ?
