I loved watching him go last year! Kid is an animal, not the biggest but flies into everything 100 MPH

Got some mongrel in him for sure

Yep one of my faves for shizzle

More ball for the guys outside outside him? Like Latrell? Asking for a friend.

Think i want one of Priest or Fualalo in my team, anyone got base stats from last year? Thanks

Welshy, what points range would you put on Latu if starting prop?

Fualalo averaged base stats of 25 for an avg of 25 in 34 minutes

Priest base of 27 for an avg of 25 in 30 minutes (avg of 3.5 ppg -ve stats)

mmmn thanks, those mintues are a bit higher then what i thought they would have been. I was thinking he would have been around 25min stepping up to 35 this year

If the Dogs play the way Pay is talking id expect a very fired up forward pack. I dont think they can play the big guys 65-70min from the Des style.

Last year his fantasy scoring was pretty poor for the minutes he played, he was far better the year before

that was all off the interchange so starting might give him some extra, but in 10 games where he played 35+ minutes he averaged 27 last year

Will stuff preparations but they reckon right for rd 1

If Keary misses any time Mitch Cornish is next man up

Hey everyone. First time checking back in to make sure I don't miss out on the leagues this year.

For some reason I can't log into the fantasy site. Anyone else had issues?

I would think hard about your username/password. Last year I had issues when entering the wrong login haha.

Nah, it's not even sending an email to me to reactivate my password..

My concern with Latu is when Wallace comes back does he take Max King's starting prop position or Latu's. At over 300 you would want the guy starting week in week out.

Remember the new pricing system mate $300,000 is monopoly money now

Good point. I had thought of that and then forgotten again. Need to start writing this shit down!

My Fifita team made me cringe every time I looked at it. I prefer my new "depth" team:

Cook
Alvaro Lodge
Brown Harris Arrow
Croft Croker
Mitchell Milne
Ted Ponga GI

Watson
NAS
Murray
RFM
Cartwright
Garvey
Nuff
Nuff

If I wimp out on Croft, will get JT and downgrade whichever of Cartwright or RFM isn't named.

True 328K is not that much, however if he is going to be a bench prop after rnd 3 why not pick up a bench prop from rnd 1 at 228K and invest the 100k somewhere else. 100k extra in the tricky halves position can pull you from a Brodie Croft to a Johnothan Thurston.

Food for thought.

Guys, if anyone is keen to join my league, details below. Cheers

There are clearly some dominant halves in the game. Cleary, DCE, Pearce, Johnson. So my train of thought with regard to someone like Watson, if you were going to play him as your second half, is possibly to steer clear. Will he make much more or possibly the equivalent of Crocker playing alongside a similar dominant half?

If you think they will score similar, just play Crocker as your starting half and use the funds elsewhere. Only problem is trying to then find a budget half on your bench to cover for injuries.
