GOLD COAST TITANS

FULLBACK

AJ BRIMSON

HLF/WFB $665K (46 BE)

Losing the upgraded base stats in the halves in his move to his preferred fullback jersey, Brimson becomes a great player that is not fantasy relevant.

PROJECTION: 37-42 PPG

WINGER

ALOFIANA KHAN-PEREIRA

WFB $230K (16 BE)

Another one from the clouds, Khan-Pereiera seems to have nailed himself onto that left wing, putting up 6 tries in 2 trial matches. He is a loop candidate as best until he shows some base stats, but an easy selection outside Foran.

PROJECTION: 27-32 PPG

CENTRE

PHILLIP SAMI

WFB $477K (32 BE)

Holding the position until Kelly is available, Sami is likely not relevant barring some feat of unpredictable fantasy skill.

PROJECTION: 30-35 PPG

CENTRE

AARON SCHOUPP

CTR $435K (30 BE)

With the news Tanah Boyd will start for the Titans, Schoupp gets a huge downgrade and becomes roughly at value.

PROJECTION: 30-33 PPG

WINGER

JOJO FIFITA

WFB $498K (34 BE)

2022 breakout, but that ship has sailed and docked elsewhere.

PROJECTION: 34-36 PPG

HALFBACK

KIERAN FORAN

HLF $431K (30 BE)

With Tanah Boyd in the side, there is no need to look at Foran at all.

PROJECTION: 30-35 PPG

HALFBACK

TANAH BOYD

HOK/HLF $479K (33 BE)

The fantasy gods have been kind, and presented managers with a tremendous option to fix a tough hooker position, with the news Tanah Boyd will take on the halfback duties for the Gold Coast Titans. This is a safe, high upside high floor play, with the only real danger being the Titans making changes during their round 5 bye if they start slowly.

PROJECTION: 45-50 PPG

PROP

MOEAKI FOTUAIKA

MID $614K (42 BE)

With the departure of Isaac Liu, we could see Fotuaika soak a few extra minutes, but with two big minute middle forwards in Tino and Clark already there, they can use Fotuaika for quality over quantity.

PROJECTION: 44-49 PPG

PROP

TINO FA’ASUAMALEAUI

MID $771K (53 BE)

Good player, but not relevant to start 2023 after a huge campaign in 2022.

PROJECTION: 49-54 PPG

LOCK

ERIN CLARK

HOK/(MID?) $594K (41 BE)

Clark was blitzing it before his untimely ACL injury in 2022, and he looks set to be a permanent fixture in the 13 jersey with Sam Verrills joining the Titans. The Amateurs interns and Ryan are gun shy on Clark, but Mark has him as a keeper in 2023.

PROJECTION: 50-55 PPG

EDGE

DAVID FIFITA

EDG $771K (53 BE)

Contract year, out of form, looking for a pay day, playing outside Foran. All the narratives are there, can he turn it into something fitting his price tag and reputation?

PROJECTION: 54-59 PPG

EDGE

BEAR FERMOR

EDG $739K (51 BE)

Good player, but not relevant after a breakout 2022 campaign that saw him scratching at the door of an origin debut.

PROJECTION: 45-50 PPG

HOOKER

SAM VERRILLS

HOK $613K (42 BE)

Good player, but not relevant as a non 80min hooker at this stage.

PROJECTION: 39-44 PPG

PROP

ISAAC LIU

MID $498K (34 BE)

Good player, but not relevant.

PROJECTION: 30-35 PPG

PROP

JAIMEN JOLIFFE

MID $484K (33 BE)

Good player, but not relevant.

PROJECTION: 30-35 PPG

BENCH FORWARD

SAM MCINTYRE

EDG $353K (24 BE)

Good player, but not relevant.

PROJECTION: 20-25 PPG

UTILITY

JAYDEN CAMPBELL

WFB $602K (41 BE)

*ARTICLE NEEDS UPDATING WITH NEWS TANAH BOYD WILL BE AT HALFBACK*

Unfortunately, we need to wait for injury to strike to see a relevant Jayden Campbell. The good news is we should see some early price reductions with him coming off the bench.

PROJECTION: 15-20 PPG

FIRST CHOICE LEFT CENTRE

BRIAN KELLY

CTR $450K (31 BE)

Good player in 2022, but likely not relevant in 2023.

PROJECTION: 32-36 PPG
