Anyone know why O'Sullivan is 485k and Drinkwater is 583k?

That hurts

South Sydney captain Greg Inglis will reportedly miss the opening two round of the 2019 NRL season due to issues with his weight.

The report comes just days after it was revealed the 32-year-old would sit out the Rabbitoh’s trial matches and the Indigenous All Stars exhibition match in February after aggravating an existing knee injury.

“Greg Inglis, they’re all saying, he will not be there,” Triple M reporter Ben Dobbin told The Big Breakfast on Tuesday.

“I spoke to Wayne (Bennett) about this. He won’t be there for round one or two because he’s 15 kilos over his playing weight.”

Anthony Don's knee to face was pretty unlucky and he's well and truly over the ACL, bit harsh don't you think?

I cbf checking the stats, but my gut says Rutton is well under priced based on his pommy output isn't he? Hmm, good thing I've got so many weeks to reduce my number of raiders from half the team down to a reasonable third

Both only played 1 game IIRC and had huge scores, hence the price. Croft was the same last year when he only played a few games in 2017 but had big scores.

Eisenhuth and Twal have been mentioned. Huth averaged 48.2 in 63 minutes from 13 games starting at lock. Seems he needs big minutes starting to push toward 50 points. Twal seems more interesting. Most of his games were off the bench 39.3 points in 36.8 minutes. He has more TB's and a higher ceiling. A starting role would see him very tempting. Any chance of that? But then there's ET as well. Any Tigers fans (or Rabbitohs fans) know what Madge is thinking ?

Hey everyone! What are your thoughts on Peachey at the titans?

Here we go again... Hope everyone had a great off season.

O'Sullivan had one score for 58 and Drinkwater had one score for 57. I wasn't confused that they were expensive, just that they're 100k apart

Oh... that is weird.

So the consensus so far seems like everyone is going midrange players and cut-priced guns? Thought there'd be a few more teams with the likes of Jurbo in them for example. I had him all season and he didn't let me down from start to finish.

Hey, you're right! Hadn't even noticed.

20% of teams have Jurbo. He'll be a popular captain choice. He probably doesn't require much discussion though because he's priced at 58 and he'll score 58 probably. Decent pick.

Captaincy is interesting with a few people seeming to skip cook and Smith. Looking like there’ll be more variation than in the past

And to you mate, welcome back.

At the moment I'm planning on taking a punt on Cleary as my Captain to start the year

Hi all, Happy new year. Now we have the app and can finally play around ???? just wondering what everyone’s best (genuine) break even is so far?

Yes was my strategy to start the season last year too and hit top 30 round 1 with it.... was all downhill from there.
