MTB search player feature by team and player with all stats is greatest feature I've ever seen in all time playing fantasy. Keeps getting better

Was getting 52 in 35 minutes without tries or try assists, just offloads and tackle busts. 50 minutes is plenty for him to rack up big points on a dry track.

Yeah, but no guarantee he scores an additional 18+ points with an extra 15 minutes of gametime. He put up a few 20-30 point games last year playing his normal minutes.

He doesn't mind racking up negatives with missed tackles, errors and penalties.

For sure he won't average over 55 for the season. I give him no chance of that. More of a chance he gets suspended.

Ill have Friend, who plays rd 13 scoring well, and the extra cash to make the Douhi, DCE upgrade in two weeks time

I'm gonna hold you to that when he busts out a solid 64.

Have seen this on twitter - take it with a grain of salt for now i suppose:

Hearing Richie kennar has done his hamstring at training. @9_Moley

If Kennar is injured I may have 3 red dots in my team this week

That's not gonna be good if true.

Ok simple choice,Carty to Taupau,DCE or RTS?

Whats your depth in the halves like? Running two rookies?

All guns in their positions.. which position do you need bolstering the most? Who are your future trade targets? Teddy and Rapana are coming down in price, so maybe paying a premium for RTS isn't the best.

Nothing is ever simple depends on the rest of your team IMO, but on the face of it I reckon DCE.

Judging by our 3 responses, I think we're all leaning DCE

If Isaako averages 35 he will peak at 520k??

35 x 15000 = 525k roughly. So a 200k increase if brought in today?

Is that correct?

I was trying to look at his average minutes and points for the last two seasons, @mattnz you sound like you must have those numbers - if so, could you post them up. BTW, where does the 35 min 52 point stat come from?

Disc: I have him in my team and I hope his production improves but don't have the numbers to get a good read at this stage.

Was referring to round 2 performance. This site is awesome for seeing the last few years performance http://www.nrlfantasystats.com/2017stats.php they have a similar one for SC, that is up to date for this year, so expect that they will eventually update it weekly.

I think alot of people are running with rookie halves plus carty. With carty now on the bench, Reynolds back soon and mid range options like croft and moses stinking it up getting a gun half in now would be a good option

Kennar better not be injured... GRRRR

This is correct, I am hoping he can bump that avg up to 40 which will be 600K

Yeah, but isn't the point that he has limited job security? You guys are calculating it as if he will be starting for the next 10 rounds or so.

Hopefully just a 1 or 2 weeker for Kennar, would have been on my bench and now I can try the fabled loophole

Especially as I didn't buy Doueihi last week

Not sure where the lurker gets these from but he is pretty confident this trade is about to go down in the very near future

Farrah > Raiders
Sezer > Bulldogs
Tolman > Sharks

OK, you are gonna be hard pushed to convince me of a stats based argument when you are effectively cherry picking one game when you potentially have at least all of last season and this season to work with.

I just had a quick look and it seems last season he average 52 minutes at 1ppm. And this year on a sample size of 3 he has a ppm of 1.14. So at best, unless something has changed you might be able to make the case for 52min per game @ 1.1 ppm = 57 average

or am I missing something?
