______________________________________________________________________________
Elliot Whitehead 2RF priced at 41 points, 604k Predicted 50 points
With the move to lock Elliot should still score well and if anything more consistently.
Has a high workrate off base stats and capable of playing 80 minutes in the centre
Previously has averaged 50 and with not playing in the halves or at centre then should go back to that
He is the sort of player that is capable of going bigger and into gun status

Cody Walker HLF/WFB priced at 43 points, 627k Predicted 50 points  
New Year, New contract and Walker looks back to his best based on the trials.
When he was happy and playing in the halves he was killing it but at the back end of last year he hit a poor spot of form.
I think he can get back to at least his career average of 47 but if he can remain settled in his position and with Reynolds injury record he can push for more.

Don't see any worry with Nicholls. Even at worst he scores 25-30 and raises above $400k. Murray, yes, steering clear.

At worst - Murray goes to lock, Burgess to prop, and Nicholls to crappy bench spot.  Ideally he gets a few weeks to make some cash first

Nice writeup Boozey.

I think you might be a little optimistic on these 2.


Whitehead is tough because we don't really know how he goes at lock. He's played 3 games there for scores of 51, 55 and 13 (where a sinbinning was a killer for points that would not have been that great even without it)
I'd love it if he could average 50s, and I am definitely considering him, but I think it mostly depends on Canberra having a good year to get him some good attacking stats (Joey Leilua in a similar situation)

Cody Walker - guess its just gut feeling here, but I am not sure he can get back to his best. His previous best runs of form came either at fullback, or with Reynolds missing. He just put up a few too many stinkers last year, and if you want an up and down guy with a high ceiling why not go Moses for cheaper. I do like Walker as a player though, I just think its a bit of a risk for the cash outlay.


I was going to put Taukeiaho down as overrated as well, but after a closer look, I'm saying fuck it, maybe he can get 45+, and I might just have to put him on my team

i could d/g BJ to Kata (think he is due a bounce back season) and upgrade McKendry to SST. The effect of the 17 is BJ and Kikau/Faulalo v Kata and SST
