    With Smith, Lodge, Ponga and Cartwright making up %60.

    My starting 3 2rf making up 0.7% of my team.

    interesting way of looking at it. mine came to around 370% (all 21 players). though a couple around the 30 mark i am looking to remove at the moment.

    Kind of sucks that the season kicks off on a Thursday night with just one game... all this build up & excitement over fantasy team selection really deserves a Friday night season kick off with two games. And plenty of Beer

    bit of confirmation that lolohea was indeed "dropped" - https://www.nrl.com/news/2018/02/22/dropped-lolohea-faces-fullback-challenge/

    "I've had a good chat with Ivan and there are some things I need to do," Lolohea told NRL.com.

    "I've had a good chat with Ivan and there are some things we've talked about. It's a good chance for me to put those things into practice," he said.

    "I just kind of want to keep that between ourselves, that's the chat we've had and that's how it's going to stay."

    Was always fairly consistent around the 40s. I cant see his role changing much from the 60m 2rf that is used to tackle and run the odd line on the fringe.

    No - don't go there. He played 80 minutes most games last year. Averaged 78 minutes

    He's a total gun.....but I'm nervous picking him to start the year given the amount of (new) 2rfs at the knights....

    If Murray is starting lock, there is no way he only averages 5 points better than his priced average. His lowest score when playing 80+ minutes is 7 more than his BE.

    He is best bet to do a Vaughan/Crichton/Hess

    Probably another player or 2 will do it, including someone that the majority on here have disregarded.
    Our aim is to try and work out who that player is.

    Last year I ignored Vaughan in my initial team because I thought he was underpriced by a few points at best. Have to try not to make that mistake again.
    (if I do it could be Tohu Harris, who I don't trust to score well at NZ)


    New big or 80 minute second rowers are normally the best money makers.
    The difference with Hess and Chricton is they were priced below an average of 30. Fitzgibbon is already priced at 46.

    RFM is the one staring me in the face at present. In 4 games 52 minutes and over last year (avg 64 mins) he scored 44 points avg. Think full time role he can improve that and jag the odd try. Won't be Chricton level but still better money making than most.
    Joe Stimson would be the other one once he finally takes over Hoffmans position. Think he is destined for big things this year.

    RFM is in my team for sure, I think he's in for a big year and can get lots of attacking stats IMO.

    Unless he's scoring tries, he won't be getting many points. Rabbits need to show some good form so he can get involved.

    Is he not playing FB? Did pretty well in that position last year, or am I wrong there

    Bunnies showed some form late and yeah he did play fullback. It's still not confirmed that GI will go to centre but probably will will since he won't start round 1. If you have a gut feeling mate, put him in. He's playing on Saturday I think. She how he goes.

    RFM for me, but Taka can take that centre spot which will be gold, especially if Milne doesn't get a run. Both need to start in the 2rf first.

    Roosters sign Frank Paul. Not sure if he plays for them but if he jags a bench spot could affect minutes

    Not sure how or why he left Roosters the first time but they obviously still rate him to sign him again.

    So you can run without coverage and trade someone in if required.

    If they both get starting 2nd row spots I refuse to believe you can't fit both in.
