$700 plus seems like such an awkward price for him though. What's the Grand Angus priced at? He's not coming up when I plug him in to the Search.

723k for Hess, 818k for Angus

You're right he's too awkwardly priced.

Just realised Crichton is already in my team which is why he's not showing up when I search

With all the value that's in the 2nd row this year it'd be bold to choose Hess. Gut feelings beat the pack sometimes though

Agreed mate, so kind of makes me want to pick him now because he should be a POD!

I'll say, 1.1%

Anyone interested in the Panthers front rowers? With Merrin gone and McKendry (I think) ACL, there’s some minutes there to be shared around the pack with Tamou, JFH

Hahahahaha

It is absolutely disgraceful.


Thats why i had to put it up

With old man Bennett now in charge of the Rabbits, do we see a decline in ad lib players like Cody Walker, Cook and Sutton? And do we also see an uptick in guys like Reynolds and Surgess. Bennett is NOTORIOUSLY old so with that in mind, the master of Bennettball will more than likely will play it safe more often than not. Offloads? Nah. Kicking to corners and backing your defense? Yeah.

Could this be the year RCG finally takes it to another level?

Fonua priced at 30.8 about right?

Yep, looks right. Played 10 games so no discount

I reckon he'll be 5% by 1st Lockout.

I reckon he's got more in him

He's a wait and see after his off-season. Welcome to the Forum by the way, what's your Fantasy/NRL background mate?

I think ARey in particular could be a good pick, with the usual injury caveats.

Hey cheers, well I've been playing Fantasy for around 3-4 years or so. Slowing getting up there and last year was a great year for me, I think I screenshot my rank at the end but I was in the top 100 towards the end although I think I tapered off I'll have to check.

Basically a guy who never really watched that much footy but a few years back I believe it was around 2013 when the Roosters won the comp was the first full season I actually watched. Ever since then I've been a huge fan and even though I live 600 odd k's away from Brissy, I still try to get to a few games. Super keen for the magic round this year!

Just saw some stats on Yeo from last year. Priced around 46 but is more than capable of hitting 55 on an average basis and the odd 60+ game here and there. Had 7 games 55 or above and 4 of those were 60 and above. I think he and Kikau were hampered a fair bit by having to spend some time in at CTR for injuries during games. Another awkward price but no origin worries and could easily average 50+ and maybe even 55 if he stays consistent

Good stuff mate (aside from the whole Rooster's thing ). Glad the NRL finally warmed to the Magic Weekend; the ESL have nailed it.
