Imo JBrom, Woods & Tolman are the 3 props who will benefit the most & play big minutes. I see Woods ended up at 308k at the end of last season so he'll be pretty cheap this year & you could go with him & 2 more expensive gun props.

That is cheap for Woods, I actually don't think I have ever owned him in any team in any comp.  

@ Beast, yeah, Mannah was the only bloke I could see in there.  If he gets more minutes he should be worth it.

Woods is more likely to be $435k

He finished the year cheap mostly due to an injury affected 3 in R23, and a couple low scores as his minutes were limited coming back from that. His starting price is going to be on his whole year average, which was a healthy 49.2


That said, given the Tigers pack, Woods is going to be in strong consideration for my FRF. Origin is the biggest downer. Especially when JBrom , Tolman and JGraham are all origin free.


Whilst we are on FRF and minutes. Tim Mannah averages 52.7 when he plays 50+ minutes. Will be priced at an average of 43.6.
If you think he'll get more minutes with the new interchange rule, his byes make him a very tasty prospect.

Tolman only went under 50 minutes twice last season. And played 65 minutes or more in 8 of his 19 games.

Doesn't have a lot of room to grow, gametime wise.

Value is going to be in the guys who played 40-50 minutes in 2015, who might be asked to go to 60 minutes this year.

Wait until Feb when every man and his dog get named as possible bolters for this crown.

One bloke in that Dogs pack I was impressed with last year PPM wise was Tim Browne.  He had a couple of flops as far as Fantasy goes, but he got fuckall minutes from memory except when players were injured?

There was also that game where the black boot wearing taffy Frizelled him the fuck out.

Not really fantasy related but Ben Te'o has signed for Worcester, putting an end to some NRL return speculation

He was in my team even b4 the Broncos signed him. Now he's going to carve up even more.
Imagine, it's easy if you try.

Also in breaking news. The US economy is so bad, the mafia had to lay off 5 judges.

Sorry but the Broncos havent signed Roberts.

Wasn't it confirmed on nrl.com. So he's still club-less.

Oh it was confirmed on nrl.com that he signed with Souths?

Looks like its true, broncos have signed Roberts, surely they will need to release someone now. It hasn't been confirmed but I've read somewhere its likely to be Copely.

Copley will probably start off next season at about 170K so will be a good option if he gets a starting spot somewhere

Haha yeah I deserve it so Ill cop it. But signing Roberts is a pretty sweet feeling. I am excited.

White Lightning wrote:I'd say Roberts will be in everyone's team. But will he retain his dpp status since he played centre all year.

Had him in my VSDT team last year from about mid season.  A couple of good games and then he absolutely killed me for a stretch of a month or so with continual 20's from memory.
