FULLBACK
LATRELL MITCHELL
WFB $777K (53 BE)
Fantasy gun, but too expensive to start with in 2023.
PROJECTION: 53-56 PPG
WINGER
IZAAC THOMPSON
CTR/(WFB?) $319K (22 BE)
Thompson looks set to snipe the wing job from Milne, and looks set to be a strong option for Fantasy managers, particularly given his availability through the first 13 rounds, assuming of course he holds Milne out of the position in a tough early run.
PROJECTION: 31-36 PPG
CENTRE
CAMPBELL GRAHAM
CTR $623K (43 BE)
Fantasy gun, but too expensive to start with in 2023. Come back later in the year to see how he is performing.
PROJECTION: 42-45 PPG
CENTRE
ISAIAH TASS
CTR $531K (36 BE)
Has his time in 2022, now becomes irrelevant as he has a very limited amount of potential price rises left.
PROJECTION: 35-39 PPG
WINGER
ALEX JOHNSON
WFB $591K (40 BE)
Great player, not great fantasy option as a try dependent winger, albeit with a great try scoring record.
PROJECTION: 35-40 PPG
FIVE-EIGHTH
CODY WALKER
HLF $601K (41 BE)
Great player, not great fantasy option thanks to the combination of demerits and low base stats with high attacking reliance.
PROJECTION: 38-43 PPG
HALFBACK
LACHLAN ILIAS
HLF $429K (29 BE)
Has his time in 2022, now becomes irrelevant even with a little value obvious in the projections as he is sharing too many stats with Mitchell and Walker.
PROJECTION: 33-36 PPG
PROP
TOM BURGESS
MID $545K (37 BE)
Burgess is now 30 and starting to slow a little bit, but he will still be a valuable contributor to the Rabbitohs.
PROJECTION: 35-40 PPG
PROP
TEVITA TATOLA
MID $628K (43 BE)
Maybe a small bit of value, but probably not enough to tempt us. Nonetheless, we looked further into Tatola for those looking for a player in this price range with keeper upside.
PROJECTION: 45-50 PPG
LOCK
CAM MURRAY
MID $904K (62 BE)
With an injury affected 1 point score dampening an otherwise elite 2022 season, Cam Murray represents an interesting value option on the elite end for Fantasy managers early in the season.
PROJECTION: 64-69 PPG
EDGE
KEAON KOLOMATAGI
EDG $722K (50 BE)
Fantasy gun, but too expensive to start with in 2023 after a huge year in 2022.
PROJECTION: 49-54 PPG
EDGE
JAI ARROW
MID/EDG $672K (46 BE)
Great player, not great fantasy option as he is better suited to playing in the middle, but that role is already taken.
PROJECTION: 45-49 PPG
HOOKER
DAMIEN COOK
HOK $945K (65 BE)
Fantasy gun, but too expensive to start with in 2023.
PROJECTION: 56-61 PPG
THE BENCH
PROP
DANIEL SULUKA-FIFITA
MID $250K (17 BE)
A sniff of value here, but probably not enough to warrant selection. Slow burner
PROJECTION: 23-28 PPG
PROP
HAME SELE
MID $336K (23 BE)
There could be some minutes on offer for Sele depending on how the rotation shakes out. There is also Suluka-Fifita and Moale competing for this spot.
PROJECTION: 20-25 PPG
BENCH FORWARD
JACOB HOST
EDG $348K (24 BE)
Maybe a small bit of value, but not enough to tempt us. Likely plays 50-60 mins on the edge pushing Arrow to the middle.
PROJECTION: 28-33 PPG
UTILITY
BLAKE TAAFFE
WFB $305K (21 BE)
Once again, bench utility is not what we are looking for in fantasy.

Yeah slowly coming around to it.

I am a diehard Souths member and fan. JD is really big on Izaak. If he wasn’t injured at the back end of last year he would’ve played in round 25 and the finals. JD has put lots of time into him. He scored 20 tries in 16 games in NSW Cup last year with an avg of 45. Also I believe Liam Knight is out injured to start the year. You will find Jacob Host comes onto the bench he makes our best 17. What JD will do is bring Host on and that allows us to push Jai Arrow to middle. Host could get around 45mins some games I think coming on around 25mins in.

Interesting – we will look into this when we get back to souths. I had already changed my mind on Milne/Thompson so hes in my team now./
