BMoz did spark my interest a while back. I would need to reshuffle my team to fit him in as he's in that akward price bracket.
I'm not really prepared to do that at this stage

Interesting. My thoughts at the bottom of page 25 of this thread were pretty much backed up by fantasy scores expected. Keary did look good in real life terms.
Butcher was really impressive. Shame he’s not more nailed on.
Surprised how easily a pretty bad defense dealt with Teddy. He was quiet.
Auba 40 odd fantasy points came in the centres. Can’t see where he fits in with some of these good youngsters. Liu is so annoying to fantasy. He’s pretty ordinary but certainty to steal minutes from players we’d otherwise be interested in (notably Radley). SST looked bigger (and bit slower). At least his days of edges and backrow 80 are long done (for the Radley, Butcher enthusiasts)

Great summary. Apparently Roosters are looking to just have the same model as last year re minutes e.g Radley will get 50 minutes. Does it look like Liu and Tetevano are bench with two of Collins/Butcher/Aubo as the other benchies with Angus to come back in. Guess they would want Aubo as a utility for the mid game injury in the backline right?

BMoz's 3 tries alone were worth 69 points without metres (2 of them T, LB, 4TB and other T, LB, 3TB) so not sure if I trust those stats.
EDIT He updated from 71 to 93, which is believable.

Agree with that choice, but disagree with the rationale
Teddy and Cleary epitomy of high floor in their position. The ceiling potential is with the other pair surely? Didn’t DCE and Turbo both make an appearance in the Ton Club last year??
They did, however Cleary has had a higher fantasy score than than DCE (2017), Teddy produced a higher score than Turbo last year in an Origin game.

Yes, but he plays 80 most weeks.
Other than a 3 week period near the start of last year (rounds 5-7 where he struggled for game time) he has averaged over 70 minutes for years.

He played every game last year and 70+ minutes in fewer than half of them. By the end of the season he was a regular 80min man again, but it's a legit question whether that continues.
If it does it makes Friend vs Macca an interesting conundrum

Yeah - additionally, between rounds 9 and 18 he only played over 70 mins 3 times.
Friend interests me if he is nailed on to play (pretty much) 80 from the start of the year.

Yep, they were the only weeks I had him in my team of course

65+ minutes is good enough for me when looking at stats. No forward plays 80 minutes every single week, there's always HIA, injury, just need a rest for game circumstances that come up.
I think Friend plays big minutes most, but not every week. There's some value there, but at effectively the same price, McCullough provides better value IMO

Not sure about Radley after that game. If he's only going to get 50ish minutes and does the decoy runs he might not be worth it.
Now to find a worthy replacement. I already have Arrow, Murray and Stimson. Maybe Gillet or Whitehead? Any other suggestions?

I think seeing Radley start probably got the hopes up for a lot of people.
Then seeing him do nothing useful would have deflated them. if he continues to start that is probably a good thing though

Leilua or DFifita if they get the start is who I'm eyeing up.

Would be nice to see our cookie cutter destroy all office and family hopes and dreams, and win every H2H against the renegade one!
Shouldn't be a problem the Renegade one sucked last year and we have no idea who was doing it! Haha

What would the dragon line-up be if JDB gets suspended? Would
play lock with Leilua starting in the 2RF?
