FULLBACK
TOM TRBOJEVIC
WFB $638K (BE 44)
Where do we even begin with Turbo Tommy? Absolute weapon on his day and a fantasy force in PVLBall, but in 2022 he regressed and then ultimately got injured. No doubt some upside here at the price, but is it enough to risk it for the biscuit with injury hanging over his head?
PROJECTION: 44-48 PPG
WINGER
REUBEN GARRICK
WFB $646K (44 BE)
While a great player, not likely relevant to start 2023.
PROJECTION: 36-41 PPG

CENTRE
TOLATAU KOULA
CTR/WFB $479K (33 BE)
Had his time in 2022, now likely irrelevant.
PROJECTION: 30-34 PPG

CENTRE
MORGAN HARPER
CTR $459K (32 BE)
Hopefully young gun Kaeo Weekes can win this job.
PROJECTION: 30-35 PPG

WINGER
CHRISTIAN TUIPULOTU
WFB $394K (27 BE)
Had his time in 2022, now likely irrelevant.
PROJECTION: 26-31 PPG

FIVE-EIGHTH
JOSH SCHUSTER
EDG/HLF $479K (33 BE)
With the departure of Kieran Foran, heir apparent Josh Schuster will take his place beside DCE. No doubt he can run, pass and kick, and the size makes him such a danger. Unfortunately, Fanhub messed with his price and made him a trap for 2023.
PROJECTION: 35-40 PPG
HALFBACK
DALY CHERRY-EVANS
HLF $851K (58 BE)
While a great player, not likely relevant to start 2023. Gun for later.
PROJECTION: 58-61 PPG

JOSH ALOIAI
MID $559K (38 BE)
Some small upside here, but not likely relevant.
PROJECTION: 40-45 PPG

TANIELA PASEKA
MID $491 (33 BE)
Some small upside here, but not likely relevant.
PROJECTION: 35-40 PPG

JAKE TRBOJEVIC
MID $641K (44 BE)
While a great player, not likely relevant to start 2023.
PROJECTION: 45-48 PPG

EDGE
HAMOULE OLAKAUATU
EDG $731K (50 BE)
While a great player, not likely relevant to start 2023.
PROJECTION: 49-54 PPG

EDGE
KELMA TUILAGI
EDG $501K (34 BE)
Had his time in 2022, now likely irrelevant.
PROJECTION: 37-42 PPG

HOOKER
LACHLAN CROKER
HOK $639K (44 BE)
While a great player, not likely relevant to start 2023.
PROJECTION: 44-48 PPG

THE BENCH
UTILITY
KARL LAWTON
EDG $250K (17 BE)
Following the departure of Dylan Walker, I believe Manly will look to Karl Lawton to fill the role of hooker/backline cover + middle forward. This role was actually very fruitful for Walker, and we could see Lawton playing 40 minutes a game in the middle, which will be more than enough for cash generation from the starting price.
PROJECTION: 23-28 PPG
PROP
SEAN KEPPIE
MID $302K (21 BE)
Some small upside here, but not likely relevant.
PROJECTION: 20-25 PPG

TOAFOA SIPLEY
MID $419K (29 BE)
Some small upside here, but not likely relevant.
PROJECTION: 25-30 PPG
BENCH FORWARD
BEN CONDON
EDG $250K (17 BE)
Some small potential upside here, but not likely relevant.
PROJECTION: 10-15 PPG
