Corey Allen named at fullback in Souths trial team

Its pretty much a reserve grade team, which would suggest he is not being considered as a first grade starter at this point

Wait, Jack Johns? I could have sworn he signs with the Storm as a development player.
Anybody have any info on when he came to the Rabbits? Or is it a different Jack Johns?

Archer mate, you've worn that long enough.

Haha cheers, I'll find a new one as procrastination between job searches then.

Cooper Johns is at the Storm.

my tv broke wrote:Getting back to that list of the biggest money makers over the first 6 rounds of last season, you have to go all the way to 27th on the list, to find a player who came off the bench in all six of those games. Tevita Tatola - he had made 113k at that point, at an average of 25 pts in 29 mins per game (his price peaked in round 9/10 at 384/387k).

Above him in the list, the only players who came off the bench in ANY of the first six rounds were Kikau (TBH, he was just a bloody anomoly), Hess (2 games, 55 and 57 mins), Murray (1 game, 28 mins), and Luke Bateman (2 games, 50 and 29 mins).

Conclusion? Bench players don't make alot of money.. will Haas be different? I think we should expect similar price rises to Tatola, although he may get a few more minutes.

There were 7 players that were sub 300k to start that feature above Tatola, in the early money making ranks at WFB or CTR last year.

Rapture_NRL wrote:Centres: I think Ramien will be the highest scoring centre, or at least a more reliable one with a 30 floor. I'm not picking him because he'll be my goal, not start

Player pick: Cameron Munster

$667k, Priced at 45.5, 2018 average 44.8, 8.45% ownership

Kind of surprised at the high ownership as I expected him to be a POD pick (not going down that rabbit hole) but I've picked him up off gut feel and have now got the stats to at least comfort my nerves lol

In the 9 games he's played in 2017 and 2018 without Billy Slater, he's averaged 59.4 with only 1 game below 50 (22)

He's played 30 games with Billy Slater for an average of 41.09 with 11 of those games under 40 (36.7%)

2017 without Billy= 57.8
2018 without Billy= 61.5

Even if he only averages 52, he's $100k underpriced

Edit: Yes, you can make any player look good if you can find the right stat

Goalkicking Holland probably a bit better than Capewell.

He has form going back 3 years, its only some low minute interchange games that have him cheap this year.

Capewell is also tempting, but has Aubbs like job security. Might lose his spot (if he even gets it to start with) when Graham returns, but that is far enough into the season not to be a major concern. If it does happen ideally can just switch to Mitchell/Marsters/gun option

Just one issue, when he was without slater he was playing fullback, not 5/8. That is why his scores increased.

You're welcome

Not quite as clear

He played 4 of the 9 games at FB which included his score of 22 for an average of 51.5

The other 5 he played at 5/8 for an average of 65.8

It affects the sample size, but if anything it solidifies him as my risky pick

Surprising and interesting, guessing Tonomopeaia (spelling) was the fullback then?

Verbal Kint wrote:Munster has been in and out of my team a few times. Boiled down, he causes me an issue in that he leaves $400k for someone in my starting 17 unless I shift some things around (noooo!) - I dont like much in that ~$400k range
