IN FOCUS – CHARNZE NICOLL-KLOKSTAD
The Raiders fullback jersey really comes down to two options, the workhorse or the young stud with an unknown ceiling. Charnze finds himself as the first option, with Xavier Savage waiting in the wings for his opportunity. Given Charnze really has done nothing to warrant not being selected in the…

IN FOCUS – XAVIER COATES
Xavier Coates is currently in over 30% of starting sides, despite having a career winger 70+ minute average of 26.8 fantasy points (before new scoring calculations) and a BE of 27. Just take a minute to soak that in. So what exactly is so appealing about Coates in 2022? In…

IN FOCUS – JAMES TEDESCO
After years of being THE elite fantasy fullback, the human pin ball machine James Tedesco was knocked off his pedestal last year by a man possessed in the form of Tom Trbojevic’s record breaking year. Now, Fanhub has come for him as well reducing the value of tackle busts and…

IN FOCUS – JACKSON HASTINGS
During our team lists podcast, we took a look at Jackson Hastings and came up with the idea that we really didn’t know how to project him, and had kind of dismissed him before even giving him a chance. Being the knowledge seeking, diligent blokes that we are, I am…

IN FOCUS – TOBY SEXTON
Young Brisbane product Toby Sexton shot onto the scene for the Titans last year in relief of an injured Jamal Fogarty. Well, coach Holbrook and Big Mal liked what they saw so much they’ve let their former captain go to the Raiders and now Toby takes the reigns full time…

IN FOCUS – KURT MANN
Kurt Mann holds a special place in the hearts of the Amateurs as one of our first big calls when we correctly predicted in 2020 Mann would average more than Blayke Brailey for 50k less, despite Brailey’s high ownership. After a year of being shuffled around the backline, Mann finds…

IN FOCUS – HAMISO TABUAI-FIDOW
As Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow begins his first campaign as a fullback, we must have a look at his prospects – as any time someone is playing the fullback position but available at centre they need to be in consideration. No doubt “hammer” has the speed, but does he have the consistent…

INJURY IMPACT – JAYDEN BRAILEY
The first big casualty of the offseason seems to be Knights hooker Jayden Brailey, who has been scanned for an apparent Achilles injury. Our good friend the NRL Physio tells us that “hands on tests extremely accurate here so scans will likely confirm what the Knights already know”, meaning that…

IN FOCUS – TEVITA PANGAI JR
With the growing importance of dual position eligibility and the shortage of value in the MID position, Tevita Pangai Jr is a popular option at around 16% ownership. This has no doubt also been inflated by the scoring changes rewarding offloading, but is it warranted at his price point? Lets…

IN FOCUS – REUBEN COTTER
In these strange new times in the NRL we find ourselves with a serious shortage of value at the hooker position, and as a result we are forced to look outside of the box for potential options for round 1. Enter the North Queensland Cowboys likely #13 for 2022, Reuben…
