Did his defending improve towards the end of the year?
No it didn't. Coincidentally those 2 scores of 60 he only missed 1 tackle in each game. But yes he can miss a lot of tackles in a game.

Does anyone know how much a player has to average above what their priced at to earn the magic number?

I play this every year and you definitely need a higher amount of luck than NRL Fantasy to rank well. Coming 156th and having a terrible round.
You are telling me. Had Bravo captain looped and switched to Short instead. Would have just won my league had I stuck with Bravo, instead falling just (wait for it!...) Short
Swings and roundabouts.
Still got me excited for IPL fantasy this year! ^_^

I kept it on Bravo. I never loop it with a single game player because chances are one of the two games will be a good one for the double game player. Got 872 this week, up to 115th. Would play IPL fantasy if it was televised over here.

read somewhere that he was slotted in to spend more time on the edge. Guessing old man Hoffman can't be the 80 minute man that he used to in order to replace Tohu

If I'm reading your question correctly, the answer is 1.
Long term, a player's price will settle at just under their average * $15,000.

How do we think Latrell Mitchell (556k ctr/wfb) will go this year. The Rooster's opening games should be great for his attacking game & could be a break out year for him.

Not sure if this is exactly what you are asking. Courtesy of Milchy's price change spreadsheet with a few changes.

Has a few stinkers in him where he doesn't go looking for the ball. Way too up and down for my liking

The only good thing about him is his dpp, roosters will look to Tedesco for attack and also the cross field kick from Cronk to Tupou. He’s injury prone and enigmatic. I’d avoid.

Well this is a bit worrying for my Eisenhuth pick. Was looking at a Tigers forum & some guy went down to training yesterday but he only caught the last 10-15 minutes & the backrow was Lawrence, McQueen, ET. I can only hope that this wasn't the case for the majority of training & Eisenhuth just got a rest for the last 10-15 minutes & Cleary just chucked ET in there to try another option at lock.

Up and down doesn't matter if the average in the middle is a hot number, it's just whether your nerves can take riding the rollercoaster. I think Tedesco could well improve his scores through a more dangerous extra man to chime in with the already potent attack during set plays, as I doubt the Roosters follow the Tigers game plan of "pass the ball to Teddy and see" which sees him hog the offensive play. Plus Latrell can always rely on that huge right arm fend for some TB points every game. He spent a few rounds out last year for laziness and defensive issues, so I would like to think he has learnt his lesson there, and having Cronk at the Roosters can only improve the backline around him. Plus as mentioned, Roosters first 5 games are probably the best in the comp bar the Raiders. This all said, I am merely playing devil's advocate here because for only a few dollars more I am certainly running with Aubbs
, though Latrell would probably be high on my list of next picked if Aubbs was was out of the picture.
