HomeWhat is the general consensus on FRF cover. At the moment i am running with none (will possibly have TPJ on bench if fit for Rd 1). I am confident in Fifi and LAM to give me 100+ all year, if there is an injury ill reasses upon severity.

As much as I expect SJ to go to the next level, I equally agree with your analysis. Bear in mind though, he played with Townsend in 2014 and 2015 and still averaged over 50.
Yup, I was talking Munster up a while ago and nobody was biting hahaha
Croft, agreed..
Nikorima is 50/50 but I expect him to improve under Siebold. Wayne just cramped him and Milf.
2014 was Townsend’s first full year in the top grade. He is twice the player now that he was then. The lack of pressure may be good for SJ with teams having to focus on Townsend and Moylan aswell but I expect a similar average to last year with very little upside
Munster has been in my team for quite a while. Was going to run with either Milford or Munster as my ‘gun’ half, the extra cash from Munster is very handy

On top of this Seibs unleashed the next best hooker in the business. Reports out of Brisbane camp is Seibs is helping Macca develop more of a kicking and running game. I can see another 6 points from kicks and RM on top of that this year.

I hope so, just as a Bronx fan, we do need a bit more out of him.
Macca can't even get dropped. We don't have another hooker in our top 30. Turpin is only on a dev contract, which means he can't play NRL unless Macca is injured.

I had AReyn locked in. I ignored the fact that Cook did so much kicking in the Charity Shield as AReyn wasn’t playing. Then Bennett was quoted as saying after the game that Cook has been asked to do some of the kicking this year as he has a great boot.Bagpipe wrote:I would also like to stake the fantasy case of Adam Reynolds.
1. Old man Bennett may toughen him up
2. Old man Bennett likes to play it safe with huge KM's and plenty of +2's
3. If there was to be a Reynolds tape released, how can we be sure that with all those tattoos it's not really just cruiser boy Josh Dugan
4. Josh Dugan is hit with a no fault stand down, you're welcome Sharkies

Interesting, I kind of see Stimson and Sironen as slow burns. I have no stats on Garner but he has been getting a lot of talk the last few days with Lawrence out for approx 10 weeks. Do you feel comfortable having 2 slow burn 2rfs in your 17?

With Hetherington and Ellis sharing Kikau's role I suspect and Yeo firmly planted as an 80 minute edge someone will need to step up in the middle. Have I lost my mind?
JFH did great in the trial. Scored more than in any game last season. Already got huge minutes last year. Would be relying on him being more active in similar minutes, or stepping up to be the next Jurbo.

Are you even sure Macca makes your final 17? Fifita definitely will.
I think if you are picking Macca, you have to be a convert that he will go a notch above 50+, he is already priced at 48 so he really is a pretty average pick if he doesn't clear it.
That is why I eventually traded him out. I was convinced he goes 50+ but perhaps not >55, and if he is only 5 points undervalued I can find better options elsewhere.
Fifita is definitely a gun, probably needs a new classification of SuperGun, but the potential was that Macca + TPJ/Vaughan/Lama* would give me two guns over Fifita + downgrade (Capewell/Stimson/some other undervalued non-keeper
*I hereby declare Leeson Ah Mau as Lama.

Wait, hold up a sec.
Do we all start scrambling Cook into our side now?

Part of the Fox choices would be political. Ennis is now specialist hooker coach for Hodgson. He's not so much saying Hodgson is the best SC player, just displaying some faith in him.
If he knows that Hodgson is about to become an 80 minute tackle bot to fill in for their experienced front rowers that have disappeared, then Hodgson becomes a gold mine in fantasy.

Recently I've been looking at Friend as well, and he has the same situation. For about the same price he also has the potential to average mid 50s. FLip a coin I think as to who averages better between the 2.
In games where Radley started he averaged 57. Other games he averaged under 40 (really that is due to a stretch between rounds 4-11 where he just got poor minutes and poor scores that may or may not have been related to Radley's starting position)

SJ has another dominant half at the Sharks. Townsend will take away plenty of his points I reckon. That’s what scares me off SJ.
SJ was playing both sides and was on target for over 400 kicking meters in the trial (275m in 52 minutes), more than in any game last season.

I don't think McCullough is a must have, but I think having Mahoney as your primary hooker is a recipe for trouble. Hooker is a prime scoring position and forgoing so many 50+ options leaves you needing to spend so many trades and cash getting them in later. Almost certainly you will want 2 of Cook, Smith, Friend, McCullough in your final team (probably Cook and Smith)

All the McCullough talk got me thinking about how to get him back into my team without blowing it up. Best I can come up with is this equation:
Sironen + Napa + BMoz (all in 17 with DBrown 18th man)
VS
Macca + Lomax + Mounties 8 (or other nuffie, in NPRs) with DBrown in 17.

Would feel a lot safer to have morgan and a gun in there so if Morgan misfires its an easier jump. I am just overthinking things?
Brown has looked the goods in the trials. Should be a really cheap 40 points each week.

Definitely agree here. I started to lean towards Friend a while ago but I decided to put it out of my mind. Could agonise over it right up til kickoff in round 1 if I let myself....
...probably going to now.

To fit Munster in I have to downgrade Hughes to BMoz and bench is now Mahoney IPap Garner DBrown. With 98k itb. Worth it?
