CNK, BMoz daylight then the rest. Opacic is interesting to me as he seems to have won his spot on merit but without the price tag of katoa.

Why is everyone sleeping on Katoa (sharks) this year when he was hot favourite last year before injury?

Price

CNK, BMoz, Bird, Kahu. Others have no job security.

Katoa had an exciting highlight reel pre 2018


(But as above, price)

Done some more tinkering,does this team look too top heavy? Think the bench is solid with viable 18th man options but would love to hear any opinions:

McCullough
Fifita Ofa
Murray Lane Arrow
Morgan Brown
Holland Capewell
CNK Kahu Sivo

Mahoney
Taupau
Sironen
Garner

Nikora
Keighran
Flegler
Ravalawa

Am I already falling into bad habits if I'm vibing good things from him

Haha yes I do like to tinker.

Helps me to remember little player combinations.

His highlight reel when he returned from injury last season would have been impressive too. Averaged 54 in ISP on the wing in 12 games.

I like what you've done but yeah, that WFB is scary mate.

Niukore? Again probably been mentioned sorry

Essentially in order of Fullback -> CTR -> Wing (for the most part)


Kahu - Playing fullback with goal kicking. No explosive games but should bank on reliable 30+ and could jag a big one
CNK - Playing fullback. Attacking Team. Only thing not to like is the higher price. Comfortable that he can go 30+ and be a solid scorer/cow though. Potential for explosive games too.

Bird - If and its a big if he comes back like he did in his rookie season he is a great buy. Personally feel he may start the season slow
BMoz - Old but still a class player. Will rely on tries to fuel big scores. Could be higher but he's no Fergusson and while I think he will do well I think he will be a bit more feast and famine in scores than Bird

Hunt - Nothing to excite me over base price options....
Katoa - Same as hunt but more awkward Price makes him less of a cow.
Opacic - Can't really comment. Don't have enough to go on to rank him properly.

He was in my first team for quite a while but a there's some other good options out there. CNK for a similar price is playing full back so should be guaranteed decent kick return metres.

In favour of Katoa is that Moylan never takes hit ups, and SJ likes a cut out TA (depending on what side)

Oooo, where are his stats now Mattnz? Or did they disappear after you got a peak?

How come people still have Mahoney in their team? With Will Smith on the bench, doesn’t that pose a threat to his minutes. Sure, if he was 212k like Havali last season but at an awkward price, he doesn’t have much upsides.

CNK -> BMoz -> the rest are not fantasy relevant in my opinion

$380k to spend on my last player....a FRF. Not in my 17. Have Lane and Surgess. Napa, Gavet or a cheapie? Thanks for ya tip

I love a fucking punt and I like that team! If I wasn't so worried about Sivo and his job security I'd be considering Rava and Sivo with Tedesco
