So it turns out the NRL app does have stats from pre-season games

So I'm putting them all here for everyone to see

No minutes played, you have to watch the game to work it out yourself

Here is a list of Front Rowers that purely played middle and averaged 60+ minutes:



Some how I don't see Klemmer bucking this trend unless he spends bulk minutes as a second rower like Ryan James or Sam Burgess

multiple.scoregasms wrote:What did people see from Fifita in that game that we didn't already know? He is capable of scoring lots of points very quickly, he is capable of paying big minutes and he tries hard once every 6 weeks. Considering the passion in behind that game I'm not surprised he had a blinder. You think he is going to have the same passion round 4 playing the Eels? The only thing you can take out of the early trials are injuries, players dropping down the pecking order(not something you can tell from a all stars game) or players in wildly different roles than you thought (If Wighton was to run out in the centres instead of halves for example)

This happened a few seasons ago. Fifita had a massive all stars game but then started the actual season slowly and dropped a heap of cash. I remember this because i changed my whole team around just to fit him in at full price

Someone a few pages back said the Parra reserve hooker who came on for the last 20 minutes was wearing 9 as well and Mahoney got his points, but he still scored pretty well.

They are yeah. You can make unlimited changes, but keep in mind once a player gets locked in you can't change them. But say you have Pearce and he plays on Sunday you can swap him for any other players who haven't played yet.

Blain wrote:What's the thoughts on Ponga? I'm thinking he may take some time to settle at 6, and normally is a hit and miss position in Fantasy. He's in my team currently, but I can spread his cash nicely if I downgrade him to say Edwards.

Also, Macca as my hooker looks good value thanks to some injuries, Seibold loves a 80 minute hooker, good option? Or go all out with Cook/Smith or a cash cow.

Radley seems good value if he snakes the 13 jersey.

DCE and Turbo or Tedesco and Cleary?
Reasons attached would be useful
