I reckon Momirovski will go well for the Tigers this year. Unfortunately he did well in his 1 game last year so is too expensive for fantasy

Would he steal a spot ahead of Fonua, Marsters, even Milne and I think they are pretty set on Benji at 6.

I wonder how Madge will even run that team. He is normally pretty structured from memory, not much free play.

Just read they are looking at Benji at center, to get Reynolds in the halves.

Milne is at Warriors this season.

Fonua and Milne a possibility, highly unlikely tho. Zero chance of Marsters being unseated. Does that answer your question?

I feel he had better scores in 2016...

48.7. Still pretty underwhelming for a hooker.

Just looked over and MattNZ is right. No Milne. Still feel like there's no chance for Momi in the near future.

And yet people are talking about Macca at a 55 average and 80k more. I'll take a 48ish average for a guy priced at 42 any day, especially if that guy doesn't have a bench utility for a change.

To be clear, not advocating Luke by any means. Just stating that he has had his years where he has been more than just "serviceable" and for those tossing around the Andrew Macs and Josh Hodg's he is worth a look, even if just for statistical balance. I'll personally be starting with an out and out gun in Smith or Cook and a cheaper option like Mahoney or Egan but others can do what they like.

decent point. but both are basically 'set and forget' options til at least origin time, so macca seems more attractive to me in that regard.

I could be mistaken with this new pricing system which is confusing, but isn't Hodgson priced about his avg of 44.7? in which case 48 isnt keeper level and isn't making money. McCullough on the other hand is priced at 47.8 and IF he gets 55 would be a gun keeper at discount price. Big difference in my opinion. Let me know if my numbers are wrong because there doesn't appear to be a consistent magic number across the field.

Does Macca play origin again? Does Luke? To be fair, I haven't even looked at bye planners so I can't even answer this question for myself. Lol.

I really think with the stand alone weekend new format the extra game origin players miss is far less important than actually picking the right players. The only concern would be for those players that miss both bye rounds AND get rested as well.

Agree entirely Mulv, you know me bro, I ain't one for conflict, simply bouncing ideas between like minds for the betterment of mankind! LOL! I've been working on the "average" provided by NRL.com divided by the price provided by NRL.com to get an idea currently. As far as I can figure the number is 14,868 but I am likely so far off it's not funny. If I'm right though, Macca is only about 100k underpriced and Luke 90k underpriced (at 48.7).

Personally, I feel more inclined to think Luke will hit 48.7 than Macca hit 55 on a regular basis for both

Oh please god let’s not talk about Milne again.

Hmmm, I will disagree here. And again, I'm not one to do so usually. But let's say that Macca hit's our "suggested" average of 55 and Luke only goes 49. That requires 6 more games out of Macca to make up the extra points. Of course, there's a lot of hypotheticals that go into that like MAcca not being rested, the assumption that Luke plays every game at his ripe old age etc but I don't think you can discount 50ish points when weighing the difference between two players who only have an average difference of 6ish.

We won't Fort, purely because you hafta listen to enough roundabout shit in the nations capital on a daily basis that you don't needa deal with it in your fantasy life... And don't deny it, we all know this is your fantasy!

Mate, it's not conflict, just tossing ideas around as you say. I haven't looked at Luke yet. You mean Isaac right? Last I read he's in doubt for round one. With that and Tevaga seemingly a fixture on the bench now I hadn't considered him.

Perf, too much animosity round ere nowadays for me to be arsed, I certainly don't wanna be contributing to that shit! To be honest, I have had bugger all chance to look into things, just looking at Luke's (yes, Isaac) numbers but as I posted earlier, he would need to be without a benchie to even begin to rustle my jimmies. If Tevaga is there as you say (and like I said, I haven't checked) then that basically negates him instantly, regardless of the minutes Jazz plays, unless of course that's 0.

You know they've renamed "the stranger" (sating ones self with the opposite hand) to the ScoMo right? Cause he keeps jerking you're chain but you ain't sure who's to blame!?!
