Tom Starling
Starling came on after 32 minutes over the weekend, and played the remainder of the game at dummy half – allowing Havili to play as a middle forward in his second stint of the game.
Starling showed plenty of promise with 48-point in 48-minutes; a score that included a try assist and 31 tackles.
With the Raiders upsetting the defending premiers over the weekend and a number of injuries in the pack; this rotation looks set to continue, and Starling firms as arguably the best cash-out option of the week.
Starling’s numbers in the NSW Cup add further assurance for Fantasy coaches – with a 49 point average in 2019, and a monster 105 point haul in his lone game for the Mounties in 2020.
With the potential to maintain high 30s in base at a considerably low $260k, Starling is very hard to ignore as a late season cash cow or cash down option with a view to becoming a handy 18th or 19th man.
With a break even of (-2) this week, coaches will need to make the move now.
Mitchell Moses
Moses comes into Round 11 with a 13 point performance in his rolling average and break even of 92; which should see his price decrease significantly over the next couple of weeks.
When you remove his injury affected score in Round 7; the Blues hopeful boasts a 58 point average for the season – and wouldn’t look out of place in any team’s starting 13.
The danger for those waiting to pick up Moses is the emergence of Dylan Brown.
As the young five-eighth continues to grow in confidence and demand more touches in good ball; we could see the points start to become more evenly distributed between both players as the season progresses – evidenced by Brown’s average kick-metres increasing by over 100 metres per game in 2020.
Despite the increased involvement from Brown, Moses will be hard to pass up as an upgrade from Luai or Fogarty in 2 to 3 weeks when his price well and truly bottoms out.
Bayley Sironen
With Ethan Lowe succumbing to a season-ending neck injury; Sironen now gets his opportunity in the run on side for the Bunnies.
The 23 year-old comes into Round 11 with a sub 300k tag and a low break even of 7; making him one of the best cheapies on offer this week.
We’ve seen Sironen make the most of his opportunities from the interchange this year; maintaining a point nine one ppm when playing in the middle.
One concern for prospective owners will be Bennett’s tendency to rotate the minutes of his young forwards.
It’s important to note that whilst he is looking likely to have an opportunity to play longer minutes for now; we can expect his points per minute statistic to come back as he moves to an edge.
Despite this; a starting edge backrower for under $300k will be near impossible to ignore for many coaches and we expect his ownership to climb significantly this week.
