I'm triggered already

Did you listen to Shane Warne at any time these past few months?

Not at all. Has he lost the plot?

I'm only half watching, but that's a third good touch from Metcalf.

No one is standing out to me so far.

Main thing is how inexperienced the defensive lines are. It's quite night & day when comparing to the defence of the full strength NRL teams, even the Sharks'!

He looks the pick of the crop so far Mulvy. He is involved, makes smart decisions and is elusive. So far doing the right plays.

True, still I liked the line Wilton ran off Metcalf for his try.

Who is the best option between 500-600k

Some like Tino. I've been looking into Elliott on Matt's suggestion, could go well, just hard to know his role, new coach and all. Personally I'd say Luke Brooks. It's an awkward price range, not a cash cow, so you need to be confident they'll make a step up to keeper.

Tino and Brooks stand out to me. Radley once back at full strength aswell is a cheeky option

Depends on the position I suppose.

I like the sound of B. Brailey this year. Chad Townsend on the Talking League Podcast really talked him up and said they've got a really good connection. Reckons he stays after training kicking 40/20s often.

Radley probably underpriced quite a bit, given he gets back to his big minutes and stays healthy.

Luke Brooks and Tommy Turbo quite underpriced. Turbo if he stays fit, Brooks if he is the dominant half and can find some form.

Note: Turbo is high 400s but obviously a 500k+ plus player once healthy.

I'm interested in which "common" players people aren't really considering. Like is anyone not considering Liddle? Is anyone not picking Lam?

Who don't you have in your Fantasy Team that would surprise us?

For me, I'm not considering Tino, Papy, or Munster to start with at this point.

No interest in Blore or Averillo

You wont take Blore if he starts on the edge?

Tino, Moylan, Averillo. I don't really rule anyone in or out until game 1, round 1 though.

Yeah obviously, but I predict Garner and Leilua as the Round 1 edges

I'll have none of the three you've mentioned as well. Funnily was convinced that was just me. Munster out of the lot of em I'm borderline on. Also have no interest in Brooks and prior to injury wasn't interested in McInnes. Obvs gonna get him now though

My unusual non-picks are:
Turbo - very injury prone and multiple hamstring issues
Moylan - not a fan and injury prone but sometimes ends up back in my team
Tino - not expecting him to hit keeper level in his position
D. Fifita - trying to avoid Origin players where possible. Going really cheap on the edge.
Averillo - uncertain on his stability in the starting 13 and has some poor scores in him
Brailey - just took him out of my team when trying to fit in other hookers that have the potential to reach gun status this season

Some of the ownership percentages surprise me and are not on my radar at all, Papy, Munster both over 20%
