HomeMore justification for Ted... last 12 rounds of season he averaged 59.5 so any other player we'd say he's potentially 100k underpriced.

Anyone got good reason as to why I shouldn’t start him?
I could say something intelligent, go in detail through his statistics for the last 5 year, try to get to know him to sort out my prejudices, but I think the main reason not to start him is that I just don't like him. If I had some leftover food and it was delicious but I could not eat any more, I would prefer to throw it in the compost than give it to him. It would pain me for my team to do well on the back of DCE. I have often wondered for years why I never picked him, even though he scored well and I never could quite put my finger on it. But, for now, I have worked it out. He is just not worthy.

StormTrooper96 wrote:Another POD choice who I think people are scared of due to being burned last year is Croft. 1.8% ownership. Finished the season with scores of 70 (1try), 60 (1try), 52 and 45 in rounds 17,18,23 and 24 respectively. Averaged 56.75ppg, 265km and 97.5mg for these 4 games. These scores are what we expected to see from the start of the year but these are also the types of scores we know he is capable of. Maybe without as much pressure to take over cronks spot and another season under his belt Croft, who is priced at 39.4, could be 10-15 points underpriced. Cheaper than the likes of Munster, Pearce, walker, arey and Milf (those players with ?? Around them). He could be a great choice to partner a Morgan or even Cleary/DCE combo.
On my list but wouldn’t be expecting him to be 10-15 points unders. That’s saying he’s going to score 49-54. Cronk probably didn’t do that very often in his Storm career and he’s Cooper Cronk.
Very much doubt he averages over 45 but still on my list as I see some value for sure.

I don’t think we will see a Storm half almost top score in the position until Smith goes. He just dominates the side too much for a half to come in and average 54.

He will be a reverse POD for me.

Sipi don’t get me wrong Cronk is a future Immortal but his game never really translated into fantasy, he didn’t really have the running game like Croft does and didn’t find the line as much that’s what makes the difference

Not a bad point mate. Would still be very surprised to see a 49-54 average from Croft.

Sipi in 2016 he had one game for 58 points, then in his 5 games in 2017 he averaged 55 plus he then had a stunning world club challenge. This is why he was such a big prospect prior to last year. If you take out the first 5 rounds of last year where he was just rubbish and include the last 4 he averages 55+ for his career. Maybe those first 5 games were an outlier and there was just immense pressure and he didn’t perform
This I just talked myself into Croft

You’ll be paying top dollar. He’ll be cheaper after a month or two.

I talked myself into him last night but then remembered he ruined my start last year but your stats just now may have just talked me back into him. That, or it’s bedtime.

Probably right however it saves a trade, plus his bad scores are so much less than others in that position so also saves headaches.

Yeah, don't think you can cut and paste Seibold's tactics from Souths to Broncos. Souths had a lock who was star man and needed to be on the field as much as possible, and two starting props who wete short-burst guys. As well as a totally dufferent hooker. One thing that will remain is more of a commitment to the offload than Bennet, which will be good for TPJ whatever his minutes, and probably for Milf running in broken field as well.
Broncos also don't have a forward close to Cameron Murray's skillset. Murray was absolutely crucial for the attacking game plan. After the initial bash and grind period when Murray would come on he would act as a link man through the middle allowing Souths to stretch the field and had the ball playing ability to get other forwards one on one. This was another huge factor in all the quick play the balls Cook was getting. Be interesting to see if Bennett intends to keep this structure, also if Seibold tries to copy this by having Jack Bird play a roaming role through the middle.

Can we go back to some player analysis.
Some people are big on Jo Ofahengaue. I am not sure I see the value. Talk me into him.
Reading through the thread now, so this may have been answered. Ofa is in my team for now, but the value I see there is marginal (compared to others).
He averaged 43 last year (presumably priced at that too??) but averaged a touch over 55 when starting at lock. By all accounts he has a big motor so I think he may get about 55-60 min as starting lock (due to the departures of a number of broncs forwards). If thats the case then I'd say he averages 50 (give or take). If that puts him about 7 points undervalued then for me that is a borderline starter in my team. I also think he's a bit easier to analyse than some other guys that Im trying to get a gauge on. So taking into account uncertainty, that leads me to Ofa a bit more too....
