    Personally as a jilted Dragons fan I'm much happier he's gone to Qld than gone to Bulldogs, as it fits the narrative of why he wanted to exit to begin with.

    From an NRL perspective, there probably needs to be some market valuation rather than pure $$ assessment for salary cap*. Otherwise "big clubs" are at an advantage of attracting/retaining players for significant less than what they're worth.

    *assuming the goal is every team being as equal as possible, regardless of how well managed they are

    Market value cant just be determined though because a bad club will always have to pay more for a good player.

    Agree on aardvarks comment that Hunt is really only worth 600k at two years. Any more than that at his age is a bad risk for the club.

    Theres a slim chance its a fairytale for the broncos but realistically it could pan out very badly. Hunt has been incredibly reliable re injuries in his career but that doesnt mean a serious one isnt going to come.  He could also get 6 months in and put his feet up and collect a pay check. Who knows if the hunger is really there anymore

    Season is 6-7 months $5 a month for amateurs subscription  is $30-35 so to pay $50 seems a bit weird as talk all dies down in off season doesn’t seem like you get value paying for a whole year

    I’ve finished top 200 the last two seasons, won the autofill once, lord of the byes champion, L2 draft champion and L1 draft finals appearance. Also will come 1st in 2025, probably.

    How much is my advice worth? I can write you a weekly email if the price is right.

    Paying for fantasy advice websites is silly behaviour, it's no different than paying for stock picks or fortune tellers.

    Why would Williams play edge when he’s been a middle almost entire career 

    Also Stefano seems good real life buy but can’t see him averaging way more than 50 mins he played last year

    Jack Williams was signed to play in the 2nd Row, which is his preferred position.

    He is a better player than Cartwright and Tualagi.

    I suppose we will wait and see.

    You could be right about Utoikamanu. He played big minutes at the start of the year but is more likely to play what he did at the end of the year in that Storm pack?

    Completely overlooked him but 60 mins might be norm with Chan Kum Tong now 

    Starling at same average if he starts (would know with Vegas) would be higher potential

    I'll trade you a weekly email for some obtuse quips based on a long history of erratic fantasy performance (which does include a decent number of top 100 finishes but also a decent number of finishes which were not top 100).

    I'd say that's fair but I'm not going to plead Wink
