He gives some BJ's though

I'll pay that.

Shannon Boyd. Priced at 30.4.

Rumoured to be starting. Any interest?

Nope. Averaged 32 in 35 minutes. Actually is he really priced at 30.4? He shouldn't have got a discount. Anyway, his minutes may go up slightly, but he's not a big minute kinda guy is he? Not enough to really make any cash and no chance of being a gun I would think.

Yeah interested to see what minutes he’s played in the past as he doesn’t strike me as someone who can play big minutes.

Let's do both!

Aiden Sezer. HLF. $389,000. Priced at 27.2

BJ Leilua. CTR. $517,000. Priced at 35.2

Sezer has only upside to him in my opinion, he’s specifically been asked to own the kicking game and with the scores we seen him pull out at the Titans looks like a low risk considering the difference between him and genuine cahsies. ( obviously inflated at the Titans due to gk)

BJ is just simply a no go really, his attitude is his biggest asset and downfall. Only likes playing when they’re winning and has poor discipline. With options like Capewell this year much cheaper I can’t see anyone picking him.

Sezer was in my first draft as I thought croker was going to miss the first month through injury.

Anyone intrigued by Hummel Hunt as a cheap WFB alternative to Meaney? Scored quite well in 2017(?) at centre from memory and I think the Knights will be near a top 4 side and with Ponga feeding him ball, should be good for a few tries and TAs.

You'd think with the mountains of Boyd & Paulo the Raiders won't be as dominant in meter eating. But I think with the addition of Ryan Sutton and if Tapine plays up front they'd still haul the metres. Aiden Sezer looks good on potential but like a chip packet, it's mostly full of air. Without Goal Kicking duties I agree with others when they say he's a trap.

Aidan Sezer, General consensus.

Undervalued. Should see increase in KM with Wighton and likely go to playmaker
return to old fantasy form unlikely (45+ scorer)
Rookie priced half starters may be better value to start season
should be on radars at least


BJ Leilua, General consensus.

James Roberts Esque in regards to, too many other safer, cheaper CTR options currently
Potential to hog more ball without Rapa
grub cunt

Hymel only avged 21 in 2017 and did the same again last year. It was the 16' season where he flew out of the blocks averaging 40 in his first 6 games before dropping to a season avg of 32.

You would want him to fly out again otherwise he could even lose money. Personally I think the knights will favour ramiens edge and fitzgibbon in attack, but at 310k, hunt could be a low risk punt. I like bird at that price a little better but of course you lose the dpp with him so its close to a toss up

Wait did i read right? That goal kicking article had Willams as first choice and Sezer as second choice for the raiders but no Toots????

Sezer and Wighton, starting halves

Just had a fresh look at his centre scores dating back to 2016 and it’s not pretty. I’ll be staying away.

Yeah but shouldn't change Croker kicking goals?

Bulldogs next? One vote for a chat on RFM

the article's a pointless, all they've done is taken the two highest percentage goal-kickers from each team and chucked them up, no thought as to whether said players will even make the team, let alone goal-kick.

Canterbury Bulldogs next team of interest. I would like to chuck either Tolman, CHN or Meaney up for discussion.
