2. Nope.

Or to add more detail - Nothing has really changed except Soli is another year older and potentially Tapine won't be in the FR rotation (though i think in the last few games he wasn't anyway) and Whitehead might be in the 13. I would look at Boyd if Ricky split Paulo and him up so that Boyd came off the bench as he was doing for a while when we had Vaughan, otherwise I don't think you will see much difference fantasy wise. I mean he did have a pretty shite season last year and it cost him a Kangaroos jumper so who knows, maybe he pulls his finger out and returns to 2016 form with the rest of the team... I just don't see him being a worthwhile fantasy option.

Sorry Welshy, I think Kata is shit but again a gut call.  Agree on Hunt though with your caveats.

Welshy wrote:

His hands are shit but as a fantasy scorer he has produced in the past

12 points down on his 2016 average
6 points down on his 2015 average

only scored 5 tries last year as well, plenty of room for improvement

I see your point but I mean shit at football, not fantasy. Does have a TB in him but doesn't know how to pass the ball. Gold for fantasy yes but he will be dropped sooner or later which obviously is no good for fantasy. Big calls thread again?

I really like Napa this year, not much risk and potential ot go around 6-10 points better than last year

Just to play devil's advocate, do you think Napa might be one of the players the Rooters will have to move on at the end of the year to be salary cap compliant (hahahahahaha  ..the Roosters being salary cap compliant...hahahaha) when Chrichton arrives.

I think (not entirely sure) Guerra got less minutes last year compared to previous seasons when they knew they were moving him on. Maybe this will happen to Napa or whoever they decide to shed.

Are you playing idiots??

In saying that, Kearney is a fucking mong so we'll probably see him and Maumalo continue to form the worst tandem in the comp.
