2016 NRL.com Fantasy Thread Part 6

multiple.scoregasms wrote:With news JWH is set to be out till round 10 I started digging into the stats of the Roosters pack.

In non injury shortened games JWH averaged 52.5 minutes, Napa averaged 50 minutes, Moa averaged 40 minutes and Evans averaged 27 minutes. Its logical with the JWH injury everyone will just step up into the next slot. So Napa 52.5 minutes, Moa 50 minutes, Evans 40 minutes, Frei(or whoever else is named) 27 minutes. Looked into Moa's fantasy prospects picking up an extra 10 minutes but his average only jumps 3 points in games above 45 minutes. The real interesting choice in that Roosters pack is Kane Evans. He averaged 30.5 in his 27 minutes at a ridiculous 1.132 PPM, as to be expected from a bench prop. However in 2 games JWH was injured early Evans was forced to play extra minutes. In round 4 he played 41 minutes for 37 points at 0.9 PPM. In round 22 he played 43 minutes for 47 points at 1.09 PPM. Priced at just $273,000, Evans could be a nice mid range cow for those who are not convinced about Packer and Lawrence.

Nice little casualty ward you've got going on in your Ultimate League team with Frizell, Munster and JWH

Evans has been on my radar for a while. Pretty much all the Roosters pack are interesting with Cordner and JWH out. Could Guerra become a gun?

tele reporting feeney is nose in front for the fb job in rnd 1. quotes from feeney say he'll be playing fb in their next trial v raiders.

its almost not fantasy relevant because if he gets it everyone will have him in their NPR's anyway.

Ferguson
Copley
Evans
Hastings
J Nikorima
Aubusson
Frei
Noneof these will be keepers unless Fergo does better then expected. Niko will have to be traded before Pearce comes back and the rest will be too prior to JWH and Cordner returning

So no Cordner JWH Pearce + 2 rookie halves and you want 4 Roosters backs?
