Agree with most of your points but just want to reiterate that the guys I've listed provide some value early on even though they might not be the best players in that position.
Reynolds had a injury affected season averaging 51.2 which is quite low considering he averaged 65.2 in 2023 and 60.5 in 2022. With Cleary racing the clock to be fit for round 1, Hughes having a Bye round 2, Hynes no longer being a must have with Trindall around and S Walker out with an ACL, Moses ($660,000) & DCE ($680,000) seem like the best starting options around. A Reynolds priced around 520k with 7-10 points of value and a good early draw doesn't seem like the worst option to take a punt on.
I also expect Iongi to be FLB only, will be interesting to see if people go with one gun fullback and try to load up more at CTW or 2RF. Pre-season trials will give us a better idea but if he's averaging 60s, he'll definitely be in my team to start.
Bunnies were shocking last year and it reflected on their SC scoring but with Bennett back and a lean Latrell who's been training the house down, I think the outside backs will feast facing the Phins, Saints & Sharkies in their first 3. Johnston ($460,000) and Munro ($400,000) are gonna be the cheapest way into their backline.
Tass (a Souths player btw) was interesting at that price but looking at it now, I don't think he'll make their starting back 5 with Latrell, AJ, Wighton, Graham and Munro in there.
