So looks like Levi will be getting 65 minutes based on what I read. Tempting I thought.
Until I looked at his stats and saw last year he played 18 games, missing an average of 3 tackles per game in an average of 55 minutes. Not worth it. Looks like he is a 25-30 point score.

Brailey averaged 56 fantasy points in U20s last year
That was playing 80 minutes each week
Included 38 tackles a week
Also included season totals of 31 try assists and 32 line break assists - the highest in the competition for both.
So if he plays 50 minutes a week and maintains his PPM, then that translates to a score of 35.
But its pretty hard to maintain U20s PPM in the actual NRL, where players can actually tackle and there aren't 18 tries a game.
So I would suggest anyone banking on 35 points for Brailey is at the optimistic end of things. Will probably hit it every now and then, but it will be the upper end of his scoring.

I think that barring any horrendous inclusions I'm not seeing, this is the team I'll be running with. Rate/Critique
HOK: Smith, Brailey (R)
FRF: Wallace, Fifita, Yates, F Kaufusi (R)
2RF: De Belin, Mannering, ET, Stimson, F Winterstein, Sironen (R)
HLF: Moses, Elgey, Lamb (R), Hingano
CTR: Idris, Sione, Talakai, Kelly
WFB: Guth, Hayne, RTS, Cotric, Phythian
Kept Stimson for now, no better options and maybe he might get a chance later. Winterstein on account of well he's starting and there's some value there as opposed to others. I've gone with the cheapie HOK because McInnes just makes me carry too much dead weight/risk in the forward position but we'll see how that goes.

Just to highlight the difficulty in transferring U20 fantasy scores to NRL here are some guys who played both last year
Nathan Cleary
U20s - avg 70 points in 10 games
NRL - avg 53 points in 13 games
Curtis Scott
U20s - avg 57 points in 4 games
NRL - 22 points in his only full game
Brock Lamb
U20s - avg 51 points in 7 games
NRL - avg 37 points in 3 games
One of the best I could find
Jaydn Su'a
U20s - avg 43 points in 17 games
NRL - avg 39 points in 4 games

I'm actually considering taking some of the $5 on offer for the hapless Knights.
Firstly, it's a two horse race.
Secondly, in Rd 1 the misery of another failed season hasn't quite set in for the Knights (at least until half time).
Thirdly, the Warriors are notorious for slow starts after another off season overindulging in too many Xmas hangi's
Fourthly, I genuinely think I have some sort of subconscious dislike for money which makes me prone to throwing it away on stupid shit like punting on the Knights

was an 80 minute hooker last season (only missed 31 minutes all year) so not really under valued.

Are people selecting Ponga even if he doesnt play this week? (Looks like he wont be). Saves a trade for a bargain basement dude who will surely get a go soon.

Really I was sure he played a load of games in the halves at the start of the season?

I agree with all of this, however as a rookie hooker he will be targeted in defence and be made to make more tackles - he's just another player in the U20s but now he's the target. I think his tackling numbers get a bump.

Just gotta hope he doesn't miss a shitload of those tackles
