    Did you have any interest in Yeo before the previous posts

    I'm kind of interested in Twal with McInnes and Lolo becoming no-go's. If he can get back to his mins before injury he'll be close to cut-price keeper

    I keep coming back to Tohu. There are a few unknowns but I still think he plays big minutes with plenty of time in the middle.

    I hadn’t looked at his price yet. I haven’t analysed it in really fine detail yet.

    Would then have to sacrifice one of Cleary or Teddy. Don’t think I wanna do that.

    I think JFH will pick up more work and minutes as pack leader. No chance of Origin either. Almost exact same price as SST and one of them will be in my team (currently SST).

    *Edit* maybe not more work. He's already at nearly 200m a game and 35+ tackles - he was pretty much all base last year. Average a little reduced because of a couple of low minute games when Penrith had the ladder sewn up. If he gets regular 60+ minutes and crosses the line once or twice then he'll be the best first bye middle.

    Cheers. And, presumably if he is on the bench, he is unlikely to get enough minutes to be worthwhile? Whereas the consensus on the forum seems to be that Ah Mau will start and get enough minutes? Or is Ah Mau more appealing because 45k cheaper that BMM and expected to get enough minutes?

    His name is one letter longer, you get more exercise typing out the extra letter when you change your team again

    Yeo's PPL (points per letter) was nearly 20 last year, whereas Twal's was only around 13.

    If you are looking for the best value PPL, it has to be Yeo

    Warriors are reall yjust a team to wait for TLT. They have a few new forwards (plus LAM who barely played last year) this year, and a new coach so we just want to see some trials/team lists to know how they'll lineup for sure. Anything else is just guessing right now.

    Fords scores off the interchange and at lock don't look too appetising. When starting at 2nd row he averages 41 and is priced at 33. What's the appeal?

    Im keen on him but im also wary of Birds impact.

    Hes only 22 but highly thought of, it seems. He looks like a fantasy relevant player if he gets the role/mins people are hoping for.

    Mcinnes injury leaves a big hole there so Ford may benefit if he plays a bit of middle when Bird comes on (or Bird comes on at lock and Ford just becomes a (close to) 80 min player

    Anyone considering JFH for the same reasons? I considered him earlier but couldn’t sell myself on it

    Going off my records we had the 3 greatest fantasy seasons of all time* last year based on average, with Cleary, McInnes and Haas all surpassing 2013 Cameron Smith's average of 70.8

    Cam Smith's incredible season included an average of 80.14 minutes per game (18 minutes of golden point but missed 15 minutes of regular time all year), an effective tackle percentage of 96.4% and only 15 combined errors+penalties on 3000 "involvements" (tackles+touches)

    So are these efforts repeatable or did they purely come on the back of the 6 again rule change? Have we seen the start of a new base line or will we revert to previous years scoring volume as teams have a full offseason to prepare?

    Having another look, there appears to be heaps of value at CTR this year.

    Players valued around 300 to 350k that are undervalued

    D Walker, Opacic, Roberts etc. Not too cheap but also likely to pull their weight and make cash slowly without pulling out too many dud scores. I think someone already mentioned Hopoate for a little bit more and of course Bird. I think I am going to load up on four CTRs so I don't have to make any trades in this position. Just shift Averillo to one of these players

    After last year's CTR debacle I'm picking 2 of those value players and leaving it at that.

    Currently have Roberts and Momirovski. Latter has competition for a CTR spot at Penrith but if he's in the R1 team I rate him as a good buy.

    Thanks again. Yeah, I know it's all wait n see 'til TLT and even then there can be last minute announcements. I've been holding BMM all this time in my team, but just trying to not include players who are still uncertain starters. I've been holding off Bird, but he's in now coz he's playing some role barring injury.

    They've further tweaked the 6 again rules in a way that should further increase fantasy scores this season. So wouldn't be surprised to see another rise in average points
