For next year in fantasy?

Will take a lot to convince me he's worthwhile to own. Hasn't shown the kicking game to elevate himself to the top tier of fantasy halves. Will surely take on more of a dominant half role but can't bridge the 15-20 point gap in just line break and try assists consistently. Heard somewhere Foran would like to play at halfback so that should see a more hands on role in terms of leading the team around the field but there will surely be cheaper options with huge upside potential and even guys in a similar price range like Sezer/Maloney would be better gambles

I'm talking for the Origin period. Hey some people put in Sandow over that period last year. I'm certain that Foran would be a better option than him.

Nostalgia. Got them feels bro.

ah sorry about that MF. was thinking you were meaning as a legitimate season option. definitely would be someone to consider although with the state of my team I will likely be into single digit trades come origin period

All good man I didn't really elaborate on anything. The funny thing is if he opens with a 70 or so on round 1 everyone will jump on him me included. I just don't think he will improve that much on last year maybe just more kicking stats.. I will consider him if the price is right ofcourse everyone will.

Im keen for DCE, Sezer, Hastings and either some cheap cheap half or if I can't get a team I like i'll throw A-Rey in and go cheap somewhere else

Depending on prices and team lists I'm thinking that most teams will have at least Hastings and 1 of DCE/A-Rey. Then there will be guys like Ash Taylor, Sezer, Maloney pop up, along with some deciding to spend big and throw in JT, SJ, Hunt and maybe the other of DCE/A-Rey. Personally going to go with DCE, A-Rey and Hastings to start with and will decide on either Ash Taylor/Sezer depending on prices.

Isn't Hunt missing the first week due to suspension?

Its much like what Hannah did a few years back when Cronk missed the first week. She brought him and benched him the first week to save a trade. It paid off it was the season he had a blinder! I think Hunt will still be a top teir half but i wont start with him. No reason he wont drop a fair bit in price.

Will avoid him to start with and hope he drops a bit and is a prime upgrade target come round 8 or so. Same think with RTS. Realistically, RTS' price/average is pretty much maxed out for realistic expectations and he can only go down. Will much rather take Teddy to start with who should put out similar stats as last year as he doesn't have to deal with changing teams/warriors poor start. Can then upgrade Teddy if need be or deal with finding the cash to get RTS

I think with RTS even if he scores 50's his price will drop so hopefully he has one terrible score of like 25 and drop a shit ton and will be prime for the pikcing after a couple of rounds.

Im still keen on seeing what  Jo burg will be priced at. But i think fanhub will ruin it and price him at like 300k or something not worth taking the risk on.
