2018 NRL.com Fantasy thread part 4

White Lightning wrote:I've been thinking about the impact Kane Evans will have fantasy wise this year. I think about the impact Brad Arthur had on Nathan Brown turning him into a much improved player. I think Evans has some chinks such as consistency, discipline & application & maybe BA can have the same effect on him. There's no doubt that when Evans gets it right on the day he can score well so maybe this year he will get it right on most days. Thoughts & thanks.

I had him as someone who i believe will be a handy mid ranger but what does everyone else believe?

Assuming you're talking basement dollar 228k or less then:
Kennar ctr/wfb, Milne 228k ctr, Fonua 228k wfb, C, Graham 228k wfb - these 4 have a good chance of starting in round 1.
Then you have some that could play:
Isaako, Opacic, Pearson, Sione Katoa

For fear of getting lumped with some absolute duds and completely fucking up my early season by doubling up on it (centres already low priced Hiku, Milne)

I have gone for a GUN and 2 perceived mid range value picks in the WFB Tedesco, Ponga and Inglis

Evans has been talked up on this site nearly every pre-season. And been a let down every time

He is cheap enough to tempt me again, but I have sever doubts on the change of clubs doing anything to change his fantasy scores significantly.

What are you initial thoughts on Napa mate?

I have both Hiku and Milne and my WFB is Teddy and Ponga, just that third spot unsure on

Welshy wrote:

If running Milne and Hiku the risk of running another cheapie in the WFB could be bad if the CTRs both fail to get near a 30 average, I have faith in Milne doing it not so much Hiku

Fonua could go okay but would much rather him on my bench making some money than hoping he scores well as a starter in my WFB, but that's just me mate

He scored well at the start of 2016 when JWH and Cordner were absent.  

I don't see him reaching those heights again with a full strength team. Its not like Kane Evans was restricting his scoring.

Don't think he is overpriced, just don't see enough value there. Too expensive to be squad filler, and scores are far too low to be a keeper.

Big risk which im veey worried about. If i have one dud in my 17 i can probably handle it if the other picks it enanled me to make are scoring well.

Thinking of going a cheaper option than tedesco to try and bolster across the back 5 in general. Feels like this year there are not alot of tempting mid rangers in the ctrs/wfbs though, or even cheapies.. some will emerge tho
