View attachment 38938View attachment 38939Any suggestions? Thinks I struggle to find is bench players, not sold on amone but for his price and to be starting 6 its the best i can do. Also relying on savage, cotter to all be playing their best positions but if not i guess i will get CNK. My reserves will change, if tigers decide to debut tupou or kei for the injuries they have got i will change out for moale. I saw some thing that ezra mam could starting mid way or even round 1 with reynolds as the kids an apparent freak. I rely so much on the cowboys to not fuck this up
My thoughts (remember to go with what you think ultimately in the end with all the information you gather)
No Grant. Must have imo (even with missing round 1, too much upside to leave out of your team).
Collins priced @ 51.5
50 minutes = 54.5
JWH, Collins, Taukeiaho, E. Butcher
I don't think Collins will get enough minutes to have enough upside. I also don't think he's a keeper.
Arrow priced @ 44.5
60 minutes = 42.6
70 minutes = 49.7
Arrow's never played 80 minutes on an edge (he has a prop body). Unless he's playing 80 minutes on an edge (56.8) there isn't enough upside there. I don't think he will. At 60-70 minutes he isn't a keeper.
I'd be looking at Haas, Welch and TPJ (better value and scores imo, Cotter also if you want to play him MID) before Collins and Arrow.
I don't think Savage will start at fullback. I think it'll be CNK (I think people highly underestimate what CNK does for the Raiders from fullback). Crichton's a "cash cow" with CTR/WFB dual.
I was massive on Leinu last year (fantasy and IRL) but for whatever reason even when more minutes were available he was never given that role (e.g. through origin period). He averaged ~24 minutes last year which is pretty underwhelming and there's no reason for that to increase imo. He's priced at 25.9 so he'd need ~35 minutes (massive PPM). He only did this once last year.
Moale unlikely to make the 17. He's definitely one for the future but I think you'd be better off with someone who's actually playing, e.g. the Storm will have 1-2 cheap MID's (e.g. Moeroa, King). Mam another one. If Walters gives his son first crack at the 6 he'll be another cheap HLF.
