Dunno all guess work.

haha its funny you say that. every time i put cartwright into the 13 i feel like it looks wrong even though he is in my 17 so there is no difference. he doesnt inspire confidence does he?

Not one to goo to much off PPM but he consistently scores at 1.0

So priced at 27 you would think he would get a minimum of 35 minutes  with potentially more so at least 7-10 points underpriced.
Herman Ese'Ese averaged just under 36 minutes for context. DPP is handy too and like NAS he does go alright off the bench.

He is also capable of a TB so if he scores above 40 the first few games playing extra minutes then you may not get a chance to bring in.

I know he has never really been fantasy relevant but he is averaged at 40 points. With a bigger impact in KM's as friend doesn't kick and the potential to pick up a few more points with the forced drop outs surely that can go up somewhere close to 50 if not over?

There was an article on how Friend was developing his game to have more running and kicking this season, but stuff like that comes out every year. That said, I didn't watch any of the roosters trial games. Maybe he did run and kick more....

@surmo13 wrote:yeh i've had him for a while, if Mitchell Pearce can knock out consistent 50's with a spine that barely kicks in general play, surely Cronk can follow suit

I had Walker in HLF and Latu on Bench but have gone sour on Latu. If I downgrade Walker I can fit Arrow on my bench but unfortunately I have not jumped on the Niko train and I cant remember but Cronk has retired form origin this year correct?

Trust him more than Latu/AFB/Evans. little bit more cash, but DPP is handy sso he can take a bench spot.
Even if he goes to the bench later, he probably has enough upside to not lose cash.

The talk on here re Latu and Arrow has me concerned with Latu now.  I'm still pretty keen on AFB though.
