PENRITH PANTHERS

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
