Taupau barely got a solid 45 minutes when he was a gun mid.

I doubt he plays 45 all season, aside from circumstances like in-game injuries

Carrigan is the big dawg now. Flegler Jensen and Taupau decent support, with Hetho to return

Wasn't he GK last season mate? I think adding 6-8 additonal points of scoring based on "he’s gonna score more tries and attacking stats too" is just a wild stab. He scored 6 last season which I'd guess is at the upper end for a half already?

All the elite, top level halves kick the piss out of the ball, it's where you can safely add easy ponts onto an average when a player changes teams or roles etc. Burton already kicks the piss out of the ball so no additional there.

I think he goes around 51-54 personally, so i'm still looking at him

Flanagan was GK for a few games early in the season. And the dogs should score a few more tries. Burton averaged 2.0 goals per game. Most GK's average about 3.5 or closer to 4 goals for good teams/kickers. I'd say he's about 3 points (1.5 goals) undervalued on GK alone.

I could go Cheese and Boyd in the 14 but my concern is Roosters have a bye round 4 and if Boyd is dropped around that time which could happen if the Titans lose a few games then I’d be left with no hooker.

Initially I had Robson but downgrading to Mahoney allows me to get a second middle gun. And I liked what I saw from Mahoney the other night not rushing out of the line, running the ball a bit and playing at the line.

I wouldn’t trust trial benches too much. When is Jazz back? A kiwi on a SC site a couple of weeks ago suggested Egan would be playing 80 mins.

The Pascoe Fiasco wrote:Anyone else going cold on Robson? I’ve had him in my team from the opening, but surely he doesn’t start the season playing 80 minutes. Is he an avoid as long as Granville is on the bench? I’m now considering a Brailley or even Egan as they are more likely to play 80.

Some awesome info here has helped me made a good start to my nrlf and sc teams. Quick question - would love an answer or a reply to a message if I've missed this.

Who are the likely goal kickers for each team? Thinking of getting 1-2 players who look OK value that could be good value with the additional 6-8 pts from GK this season.
