Tolman, LAM, TWAL, Offa, TPJ. There is a case for having them all, I just can't split them although if TWAL isn't starting lock then he is out of the question.
Also there is a case for Vaughan being undervalued especially with LAM gone (although only averaged 39 minutes) and potentially JDB.

There has been mention of Sam Burgess, but I read that he has a knee like GI's so that put me off and now playing on the edge also out of the action. Think he just stays at 45-47 average this year.

The 13 for the Broncos will probably be the must have out of all them.

I have had him in my own team up until I just looked up his stats and now I have my doubts.

Played 5 games at fullback last year for an average of 37.8, surely enough of a sample size.
Without that outlier game of 76 where he scored a try with 9TBs he would have been under 30 av.

Are we all just getting frothy off his 2016/2017 cameos where he scored a try in just about every game he subbed in for?
Edit: 4 out of 5 games

I remember thinking he looks talented whenever I've seen him play, but his 2019 stats have pretty much turned me cold on him

I started fantasy last year with a bunch of mates and a shocking team. Midway through the season I stumbled across this forum. By just lurking this forum I managed to get my team to the top of our league by the end of the season, only loosing by 10 points. So this year I thought I would start off early and start making a shortlist of players. And hopefully be able to help a few other people like myself out this year.

While we are on the conversation of the Bulldogs.

Does anyone have any opinions of Lachlan Lewis this year? He was my favourite player by the end of last year showing a huge amount of skill and guts. But how does this translate to fantasy this year with his higher pricetag?

Thanks in advance for any help this year

Maori is one of the most phonetic languages out there.

Simple rules for it (other kiwis, please correct or rephrase as necessary):

1 - syllables stop after every vowel
ie; Ta-Pi-Ne, A-O-TE-A-RO-A, mo-a-na etc

2 - vowels pronunciation
a (like the a in car)
e (ey, like hey)
i (ee, like pee)
o (like the o in or)
u (like the ue in blue)

3 - there is no emphasis on any particular syllable.

4 - if you are a NRL commentator, you must completely ignore the above rules and just pronounce the name however you feel on any given day.

Are you sure the “i” is not pronounced as the “u” ?

Like really sure?
