Start of season so 4 reserves will be mainly hit and hope mate

I've had real slow fantasy starts loading up with forwards who start the season slow, guns scoring high 30s/40s

This year I'm going WFB heavy, hoping one or two will bang out a huge score to start season and cover a lighter packs 40s
I see plenty of upside in Stimson/Gillett/Murray/Sorenson to play well above their avg and there's a few more around them with potnetial to match if they don't line up starting R1, so as you say  mate easy swaps

Issue is early captain choice as HB alluded to

NAS is great but hasn't got the engine, Welch could pick up minutes I guess, Vete and Kasiano impact props. JBrom should be the main man in that pack?

Early cap choice is the reason I'm likely to go with Crichton in my starting side (no Cook or Smith). He is also majestic in his Roosters shirt.

I do like all of Stimson, Gillett etc though. Plenty of options in that bunch. I'll have all of them too

Alfie wrote:Very strong starting 13. When I brought up Surgess everyone informed me that he was a has-been which I came to agree with. If Sorensen doesn’t start, Bukuya will so that’ll be an easy swap. Looking at CHT’s stats, he likes a missed tackle to be honest so I see a little risk in having him in the 17.

Welshy wrote:Hmmm Mahoney would need to be playing BIG minutes 60-80 to be worth the early punt, tackles his guts out but not much else looking at the stats

Priced at 33, might be more bang for my buck elsewhere for a bench role

It would have to be a four forward bench with no utilities to consider him I think.

Rabbit wrote:If Pritchard is still hanging around, I don’t understsnd the Mahoney talk. I like the warriors HB. If they let SJ and Lino both go, he must be highly though of. Also, Tevega surely plays a more prominent role this year....looks like a good fantasy prospect. Pearce hasn’t been talked about much, but with Ponga and Watson running off him, he’s my first picked.

Have CHTs stats? Where are you getting them from?

Pritchard is a concussion away from calling it a day I reckon Rabs
