How much money do you expect Leo to make? Was looking at him myself. He seems to have won the starting prop position, and DSaif has been average at best this year.

If Freddy does Freddy things and picks at least 1 Saifiti for Origin, than he probably gains extra value over that period as well.

The couple of downsides:
1) He's already made $200k which means he's less valuable than if we grabbed him before. Not that there isn't value, just not as much.
2) He has byes in rounds 10/14/19 (not favourable at all)
3) He might lose his starting role when JSaif is back

I would expect Finucane to be more likely to make Origin than a Saifiti.

If he's getting improved bench minutes from being good he could be a good buy at $285k

Barnett maybe back soonish though? Any intel on that as well?

Robinson has said he’ll be back in a role of “50 to 80” depending how the game goes, if he starts with a couple of smaller minute games could be quite a decent pickup around that time.

The question is: why wouldn't they play him at fullback in the NSW cup?

Not just Barnett. Curran was a big minute work horse last week, Harris for 80 minutes.

The early rounds are best case scenario for Ale as they get their troops back and Curran takes on a bigger role.

I know that Teddy has been a GOAT in the past and knows how to junk it up... but looking at his stats from the past few years I find it hard to justify him over Miller/Walsh who seen to be both more dynamic and more consistent. Can someone (other the an Teddy in the coming weeks) show me the error of my ways.

Sounds quite peculiar given their stocks, either they mustn’t rate Harper and Parker or Koula may be out for longer than expected?
