Ah sorry, didn’t realise you were in L7. Although totes makes sense you’re in the pissheads League

Cash Comp is for both, first prize was $850 last year, total pool was $1650. We are donating 20% to Charity in Memorium of R0bdOg. Weren’t you in it last year?

But when he is fully fit, doesn't he play 80? last year i believe he averaged over 50.

Averages 48 when playing over 35 mins and 54 when playing over 40 mins which is keeper level (Stats from 2018 and 2017). Gavet averaged 38 minutes at starting prop last year so 50 points should be expected.

What am i missing?

Maybe LAM isn't a trap this season? There's been chat about him having increased minutes for the last few years which didn't really eventuate, maybe this year is different. Feel free to take a punt

Fairly new to this so just assumed I was missing something, thanks for the feedback.

my tv broke wrote:Similar to the "top 8 prediction" thread, why don't we have a comp (thread) to predict a set of players averages, say 10 contentious/highly discussed players. +1 point for every point off you are, totalled up.

Maybe conclude it after 10 rounds or something, so we aren't all waiting til end of season..

Here's 10: Napa 32, Kahu 21, TPJ 47, Macca 54, Cook 59, B Moz 33, Murray 61, Holland 45, Watson 42, Mahoney 47

Yeah myself and I think from memory one other person on this forum were the only ones to know this would happen. I honestly didn’t think it would happen in under a week, but this is a big money game and just as we see teams relentlessly cheating the cap, people using this new rule as a weapon was inevitable. On a side note to that, does anyone know the last time we had a salary cap cheating free year??? I know there was some years they didn’t find them out immediately but found out later on... which still means that was a cheating year. Be interested to know if anyone has the footy smarts to answer.

The difference this season is that he's a Warrior, which could see increased minutes.


The following post from @Alfie will give you a bit more background:

Warriors

8. LAM 45
9. Luke 65
10. Paasi 40
11. Pap 80
12. Harris 80
13. Blair 60
14. Tevaga 40
15. Afoa 25
16. Lisone 25
17. Burr 20

After an insane 91 without a try last year, Big Leeson looks like he should enjoy a reasonable minute increase. However does his playing style and impact change now that he’s starting and not coming on fresh mid-game. Also, the warriors props rarely played more than 50 mins. Does that change? Isaiah Papalii is another player that could provide value given he averaged well over his 39 average when playing the 80. Jazz Tevaga could be a good POD this year as well after he went to another level in 2018. The stocky workhorse could get a look in for the 9 or 13 jersey if Issac Luke isn't fit for round 1 or Jazz outdoes his teammates in pre-season. Sidenote: if Lachlan Burr gets a look at the 13 jersey, he would definitely be popular given his workhorse rep and his cash cow price.

Do you call him 51 because that's how much higher in the NRL FF rankings he finished than you?
