Is everyone named 18-21 also named in their qld cup/nsw cup/20s side? Or are there a few not named in lower grade

Does spelling hooker even make a difference to his scores? He doesn't get any attacking stats at lock, and he'll still be defending the middle.
Obviously he's no good at hooker IRL, but does it make a difference in fantasy?

Very useful and I must admit I'm looking at Granville, Koroisau and Pritchard for the first time this pre season. Brailey doesn't sit well as I give it 2 weeks tops until Mortimer is number 14 (at worst)

Put fifita and jbrom in frf, norman and sj in halves with captain cam to lead the way. Bank about 200k....then wait to see who goes good and who bad. If they go bad cash out or upgrade.
I don't think it would be lunacy, if you could be reasonably certain that 2 or 3 of the 6 would be keepers.
You really don't want to have to upgrade all 6 when they're all averaging 40.
The problem even then, is there are more than 6 under priced viable 2RF options. Some will not avg 50, but they might average 40 and make 100k along the way which is a great start to the year.

Yeah pretty much. Nikorima is 5/8th for a ISC team the only one I noticed of any worth is Kennedy is not named for the Sea Eagles feeder side

Surely he is a better option for NPR than those priced below him, minus Yates whom I already have. Was also considering Fualolo but it is hard to ignore a starting forward for your cash cow.

Pray Rankin fills in there instead. Hope Ballin/Liddle come back soon
I think Rankin is a good chance to go there. Otherwise surely Suli would get a run instead.
In any case Taylor is still value even if he plays a bit of hooker. Its interchange games at Penrith and getting concussed that is the biggest cause of his price discount, not playing a bit of dummy half

I can just about make a team that i like if I drop Fifi then can do Sezer to Api with DPP to protect Brailey and ET via DPP. Is Fifi essential

Had him forever but Raiders did least kicking last season I think. Could keep him instead of Lamb in post above

More traffic here.
Okay this is where I'm comfortable. Oh and Maubbs haha
McInnes, Brailey
DSaifiti, JWH, FKaufusi, Papalii
JDB, McGuire, ET, KBrom, Siro, Yates
Norman, Guth, Elgey, Fogarty/Field
Aubbs, SMat, Idris, Kelly
Turbo, RTS, Hayne, Pythian, Cotric
What are your thoughts, JDB as captain in the absence of Smith/Fifita
Don't think there are enough viable cows to spend so much on those two.

Plus hes DPP and a lack of options there why not
Exactly what I was just thinking. Also he goal kicks right? Moses with a sore foot wouldn't want to kick? Or is there someone else?

Wonder why their kick stats are so low. Maybe they through the ball wide a lot? Less completions?
Less completions seems illogical though given how well they played.

Thoughts on Api with Brown on bench. Barrett likes 80 min hookers and would make me more comfortable running with Brailey npr
