At around his price point you can get proven performers, some in better teams:
CNK $437k
Dylan Edwards $496k
Nofo $455k - very tempting without Doughboy hogging all the ball!!

How about HTF for similar price point? 470k. His average of 37.9 included two injury games, removing those brings it to 41.1. His three games at Fullback averaged 50 and whilst that included 2 tries, with his speed he's likely to keep getting them. Under new scoring that would come down to about 46, but still good for someone priced at 37.7 and with his speed I would expect some ingoal escapes. His stint at FB in 2020 had some real stinkers but I think he has evolved massively since then and rather than being thrown into the position he'll have a full preseason there. Also useful dpp and plays first bye. I wonder if he's put any weight on that frame? Definitely on the short list for me.

HTF breaks the rule of outside backs from bad teams. I'll let that one go through to the keeper

Yeah Momo's 4k less than Hammer and likely goalkicking for a good team, not to mention he's a huge ball hog

But HTF is not an outside back, He will play at FB which is where the value lies. Edwards and Nofo are priced at what they scored last year, with Nofo playing on the WNG in a weak team. CNK is another option for sure but does have the odd low scoring game. At present my WFB is CNK Papy and HTF

Been in my team since open and will stay there if named to start round 1.

Deceptively strong through the hips makes him hard to tackle. Good right foot step to get on the outside of his man. Tends to carry the ball in his right arm and palm with the left which isn't ideal for a left centre since it means primarily palming across his body. Got enough pace to finish a try if he gets into space and soft enough with his hands to set up a support player. Not an athletic freak like a Stephen Crichton.

Did I mention he plays for probably the second best attacking team in the league?

I think he is more talented than Taylan May and just needs a solid preseason to lock down the spot

I think he's highly likely to debut in R1, though odds are he won't steal the starting edge spot right away. That said I think it's highly likely he'll have it before the end of the year given Felise and now likely Kenny are leaving.

Looks really quick for a 2nd row, with a great step. 193cm, 105kg. Should be a fantasy beast.

Fullbacks in bad teams have just as much chance to put up stinkers. Just look at Corey Allan (19), Nick Meaney (36) and Drinkwater(30) who played fullback for garbage teams. HTF hasn't shown to be a work horse so is likely to be reliant on attacking stats just like these guys. He won't be going anywhere near my squad

Yes.


Or are you calling for drafters?

Because also maybe yes
