I'm happy enough to start him and hope for 30

He'll be my 18th man. Most basement priced guys are risky but halves generally score okay don't they?

I'm reckoning so. He has that metal plate in his forearm and has broken it a couple of times. Pretty sure he's had a myriad of injuries over the years and the Tigers aren't known for making okay players good.

But, but it makes the rest of my team look good

More chances to score points

Tackles
RM
KM
second most receives after hooker so more ball potential

Anyone got any stats on Wallace?? He had an injury stricken season last year and is a work horse. Milchy??

Jarrod Wallace? opposite of injury stricken, all the titans got injured except him, so he often found himself playing big minutes.

Suspended for first 2 rounds so you wouldn't start with him anyway, but I think he struggles to maintain last years average.

Sorry milch, should have been more clear! Pallace, should be playing full 80 and he is a big tackler

Fair enough.

Don't see much value there. Even taking away the 16 minute injury game, he still only averaged a point or 2 above his price. Played 80 minutes pretty much every week, so not sure if there is much room to improve.

Come on down! Welcome to Moose Menagerie Elliott Whitehead.

You know what that means don't you? More name contractions. Just when we thought it was over.

How long is Coote out for? Hampton is super cheap and in his 1 game at FB last season got 53 points.

Also should I shift Watson out? Is his job security a risk as previously talked about?

But his average is 53 points at FB last year. That is 1 point more than Tedesco.

you have convinced me.

I think Katoa is more likely to be this year's Cotric than this year's Edrick, but running him in my 13 from Round One would worry me. Round One is the Cowboys. Storm and Roosters are also in first five rounds. Not exactly wingers' playgrounds.

Bonus thought... Edrick Lee's fantasy name would be Eee.

Just watched a highlight real of Katoa. Likes a slapsy TB. Hopefully translates to first grade. I think so but yeah Sharks have a tough opening draw.

A lot CTR talk but one player not mentioned much is E. Aitken ($567K). Couple of low minute games brought his avg down slightly below his 2015 & 2016 averages last year, so he’s possibly marginally underpriced (although CTRs tend to rise and fall in price, and damn he’s a pricey CTR)

Some possibility that K. Mann takes his spot but Aitken is named to start now. Should be a CTR keeper.

Also Munster becomes really valuable if he gets DPP tomorrow imo. WFB keeper who can give security to a weak HLFs position. Currently I have Cartwright, Croft and Crocker. So could use some more security.

I SWEAR TO GOD IF I'M EVER A MOD I WILL REIGN DOWN UPON THEE WITH FURIOUS VENGEANCE!

Oh.. lost my oracle status. Not so omnipotent now
