FULLBACK
DYLAN EDWARDS
WFB $639K (44 BE)
Great fullback, irrelevant for fantasy as he just doesnt have the elite attacking upside.
PROJECTION: 41-44 PPG

WINGER
BRIAN TO’O
WFB $557K (38 BE)
Outside PVLBall, To’o has failed to be a consistent fantasy option.
PROJECTION: 37-42 PPG

CENTRE
IZACK TAGO
CTR $605K (41 BE)
2022 was your time son, thanks for your service but you are no longer needed.
PROJECTION: 38-40 PPG

CENTRE
STEPHEN CRICHTON
CTR $614K (43 BE)
2022 was your time son, and we will have a look at you again next year when you are a fullback.
PROJECTION: 35-39 PPG

WINGER
TAYLAN MAY
WFB $623K (44 BE)
Suspended for the first few rounds, but will come back in barring something miraculous from his replacement.
PROJECTION: 39-42 PPG

FIVE-EIGHTH
JAROME LUAI
HLF $535K (37 BE)
No thanks, next to the best fantasy asset in the game he doesn’t get through the work.
PROJECTION: 36-39 PPG

HALFBACK
NATHAN CLEARY
HLF $957K (66 BE)
Coming off a “down season” at a 62.7 average, Fanhub in their infinite wisdom have decided to change their system and remove almost all of the value from Cleary, who was a screaming buy at that price. He now becomes a “fine” selection, but probably $50k over where he should be priced.
PROJECTION: 65-70 PPG
PROP
JAMES FISHER-HARRIS
MID $685K (47 BE)
Great prop, not fantasy relevant unless there was some sort of long term injury to Yeo that gave him more minutes.
PROJECTION: 46-51 PPG

PROP
MOSES LEOTA
MID $526K (36 BE)
Great prop, not fantasy relevant without a substantial increase in mins.
PROJECTION: 35-38 PPG

LOCK
ISAAH YEO
MID $847K (58 BE)
Gun player, but probably too expensive to start 2023.
PROJECTION: 55-60 PPG

EDGE
LIAM MARTIN
EDG $568K (39 BE)
Great player, not fantasy relevant because he doesnt get through the base stats.
PROJECTION: 40-43 PPG

EDGE
LUKE GARNER
EDG $478K (33 BE)
The battle will be on between Garner, Sorenson and Hosking for the edge back row spot vacated by Kikau, with the Amateurs believing Garner will get the chocolates. Assuming he takes the job, he will be deployed as a lethal attacking weapon for this Panthers side, which should lead to big fantasy points.
PROJECTION: 40-45 PPG
HOOKER
MITCH KENNY
HOK $426K (29 BE)
With Api off the books, Kenny is the heir apparent to the vacated spot in the Panthers spine, with only youngster Soni Luke to compete with (who happens to be an international hooker). Assuming it is Kenny, he represents some value, but will always be under threat for both minutes and his starting job due to the Panthers ruthless nature of rewarding quality play.
PROJECTION: 31-36 PPG
THE BENCH
PROP
SPENCER LENIU
MID $340K (23 BE)
Play more minutes please.
PROJECTION: 24-26 PPG
PROP
MATT EISENHUTH
MID $544K (37 BE)
Will provide some leadership off the bench, but not a particularly useful role for Fantasy.
PROJECTION: 28-32 PPG
BENCH FORWARD
SCOTT SORENSON
MID $509K (35 BE)
Unless Sorenson secures the starting edge role, expect him to be very similar to last year.
PROJECTION: 34-37 PPG
UTILITY
SONI LUKE
HOK $250K (17 BE)
Keep an eye on this one if he manages to steal enough minutes from Mitch Kenny to become relevant.
PROJECTION: 25-30 PPG
