Pookus has been bigging us up on supercoachscores as well

And by 'us' I actually mean all of the posters that are providing great info and insights - so, not me (etc) who post shit most of the time. Sorry about that btw

We don't have a lot to go on form wise for now but they all fall in the same category of picks to me (trap). Low ceiling, low upside picks even if you are correct in the form/subjective analysis.  A.K.A. slow burning cows with respectable points per dollar spent. They won't be cut priced keepers and they wont generate the rapid early season cash to make your squad stronger.

I personally think the likely outcome of the small role change is that they will all fall somewhere between a 4-8 point improvement. You really want them to score 10+ above their current average for cash purposes but I also don't see any of them being top 5 options so the points/$ upside is limited.

Mitchell Moses (37.1 -> 47.1) - would be good for 9th best half of 2018
- Unless we see a marked defensive improvement he has too many negative plays to be in the top tier of halves. For fantasy that means his cash generation will be super volatile as well (low games quickly halt fast price rises). Yes his kick m will go up and he may have a few more TAs in a stronger team but an extra 230 points (23 rounds x 10pt increase) needs to double his try assists (10 -> 20) and kick an extra 156m/game (229 -> 385km). Not impossible but I'd take the under on that easily.

Aaron Woods (39 -> 49) - 5th best FRF '18
- Essentially banking on a return to career best form to have made the minimum cash you want from someone you wont keep. No upside and only risk in this pick. A poor mans Tolman, TPJ or Offa.

Josh Mansour (33 -> 43) - 6th best WFB '18
- The only guy who I could entertain having more than a 10+ point upside. But then I look at other prolific try scoring wingers like Addo-Car, Oates, Vunivalu, Cotric, Nofo and '18 Rapana and all of them fall well short of this average (39.2 - JAC). Are you willing to put him up with guys like Rapana of '16 and '17. The offense won't flow through Mansour (too many mouths to feed on what should be a good attack) so I think his upside is limited.

In my initial teams I want cut price keepers, someone on the top 30 cash makers list or a gun. These guys don't really fit any of those bills. So while I don't think anyone on this list will disappoint you I strongly believe they won't help you win. But then again I'm more H2H focused and never win so if you like these guys go nuts  

I do think these guys would make good draft picks though. Always a chance they are undervalued but not by enough in the classic format to pick for me.

This is purely anecdotal but I rate wingers much higher in terms of potential than centres. Centres may get a few more tackles but usually get less touches, less tries and less kick returns with a broken line to run at.

FRF is the position giving me the most grief at the moment.

I really want Fifita as a set and forget option, but it really kills the salary cap elsewhere. Its hard trying to find good value.
If NRL doesn't suspend Napa, might end up running Tolman+Napa (ideally with Fifita, possibly with someone like TPJ or Surgess)
I have doubts around the hoe people have around Twal being starting lock, but that woul dmake things easy. Maybe trials/TLT will throw up a good option.

Warriors being considered a soft pack ~should~ actually bode well for LAM getting more minutes.

But I agree, I don't really see it happening.

White Lightning wrote:

But Vaughan went to a good team whereas LAM has gone to a poor team. Vaughan joined a gun forward pack whereas LAM joins a soft pack. Normally this is good for fantasy but I don't think LAM will get the mins.

Im going to design a logo for the group and want to get some ideas from the crew.

Thinking of doing an american sports team style logo with an animal or creature as the base.

So will probably need a seperate page setup aswell as a poll for popular ideas.

Sorry im posting this here, it gets the most traffic
