He played 80 minutes quite a few times last year and did not necessarily score better in those games. There are better and cheaper hooker options out there, even with this news

Api is priced at what he will score. We need some guaranteed scorers from the get go and he should guarantee a reasonable score. He has DPP and I'll probably start him in my halves and take the points. If Barret has done the sensible thing and devised a plan for him not to miss tackles he may even be under priced a fraction.

He's an annoying fantasy player, Api. His missed tackles aren't even really missed tackles in that he stops the play... it's just that he bounces off them because he's smashed into them so hard. The other guy still ends up on the ground. No need to change his technique in real life but bad for stats/fantasy.

Meanwhile, Gosiewski a possible cow from Manly? I don't see any other props on their bench.

Nah dunno, hard to split.
Do you think JBrom is back and Harris might suffer outside the storm or do you think Harris will do just as good if not better and JBrom is old news?

Mate close call. I think Kapow is priced about right and Harris maybe as much as 8-10 points under. And JBrom about 7 points under and Brown about 6 points under which puts option 2 ahead except that option 1 gives you a dpp and possibly two keepers whereas I don't see JBrom being a keeper, but other will disagree.

Is Maubbs still Mr Fixit? The Rorters got rid of forwards Guerra and Evans (and Knight, Carter, Santi) but seem to be a bit better off in the backs. I still think, mid-game Aubbs goes to centre, but does he start at centre with an outside back injury?

I reckon Reece Robinson is next in line for Roosters backline spot.
Aubbs will be the mid game move guy for sure though

I just saw a rumour about Tolman to the Titans effective immediately. If that happens RFM and Taulau straight into my team

Someone one here posted that a day or two ago (you??) but haven't seen anything else. Is there a ?

Think arrow becomes fualalo for me if this injury eventuates, would be even better if tolman wasn't on the bench.

I didn’t see anyone else post it it wasn’t me.




I know it’s a fan service but they picked up the Cartwright news about a week before it came from anyone else

Haha. Yeah can't remember where I saw it but certainly interesting if true. Who benefits? I assume Fualalo or RFM or both or Elliott?

I think i posted that the sea eagles forum thought they were getting carney + tolman as soon as the nrl clears their investigation thing. And yeah grain of salt stuff etc

Ofcourse take that with a grain of salt. Like I said not sure how true it is but I like to post things like that for all to see

Looks pretty good to me. Personally not going JBrom but could easily be wrong. Without doing the math you could downgrade Hiku or Evans to base price and upgrade elsewhere say Turbo to Ted or Arrow to someone depending on team lists. But yeah it's a waiting game for now.
