So I did have a big post written up in regards to this, this will be much shorts.

Parra/Warriors HLFs are must have. Egan & Bird also a lot of value for them.

Lomax wont flop imo, but don't start him. He can definitely potentially string a few games together to earn cash.

I don't know much about Collins, but agree Haas may be unlucky to get enough minutes to get value.

Why does Tautau Moga lose a spot if Ramien leaves? He may still lose it initially due to the assault charges, but if he is playing Round 1 he can definitely score great.

Cartwright is a guy I will get suckered into. Brad Abbey as well, as I already know he will be Feeney 2.0 but I wont start him.

Some other guys that I am looking at are Ava Seumanufagai if he can nail down a starting spot. Which will be hard because he has Woods/Prior in front of him. Woods could also do the same albeit in a much higher price bracket.

B. Xerri could end up sneaking a starting spot with the hype around him. Kurt Baptiste also a guy that could make cash if he can get some decent minutes off the bench at the Cowboys, and someone I have an eye on. I heard the Reed Mahoney rumours last year I recall. He doesn't score amazing in the 80 minutes but should average around 40 points.

I would think Ofa is the big mins guy. He would regularly play 80 mins at prop when he came through the 20s (sure, that was a while ago). But yeah, I see him as being the no frills big mins worker while TPJ is impact in smaller mins. But TPJ in 50 mins might match Ofa in 70 mins..

I think youse have the Ramien situation messed up. Ramien is joining the Knights not leaving them.
Also, Mahoney scored 46 and 49 in his two 80 minute stints last year.

With the departure of Merrin there are big minutes to share around the rest of the park and most believe JFH could benefit the most from this. Last year in the 10 (2 x 80 minute games) games he played at 60 minutes plus he averaged 45.4 with 3 above 50, 1 below 40, a high of 59 and a low of 36. In the 2 games that he played the full 80 minutes he scored 51 and 48 all of this without scoring a single try all year. Priced at around 40-42 points if he can pick up the fitness, lose those silly errors and penalties he makes each game and just tackle his way to 50+ points which he can do he could be a solid pick up. No DPP is shit as he is only running 2RF but could be a cheap solid 50 point scorer all year.

TL;DR - JFH could turn a 42 point price into a 50 point avg year with some fitness and level headedness.

Welp I am retarded lol.

Yeah Moga will struggle to stay relevant then, and no idea where I got that stats from for Reed in my head lol. But no he should if getting 80 minutes average over 40 points then. So if he ends up the only Hooker he becomes a must have while priced at 33 points.

From my perspective i didn't see any of his SG/U20's footy days but from what i have seen from his days in the NRL he just seems like another number filler. Doesn't do anything spectacular but just does his job. How was he coming through the ranks?

Definitely wont be in my team come Rd 1

Haas is pretty cheap, so if he looks like getting any sort of decent bench minutes (you would want to be confident of getting over 20 minutes a week) he *might* be OK for a slot in 18-21. But likely there will be better options out there
