    as good as anderson is in the middle, he lacks the threat going forward for a no 8 to be the 100m pick like rice.

    but i suspect he'll still go for over 100m this summer. very good player nevertheless

        Never understood all the hype about Rogers. When he was 5.0m last year (or year before) yes he was a steal. He's not that great fantasy-wise in my opinion. And people tend to have immense faith in his abilities for some reason. Not fantasy material.

          Without the addition of defcon this year, Rogers at 7m was never a bad pick. In hindsight, he’s been extremely frustrating, but if it wasn’t for defcon defenders + mids, he’d still be a decent pick, dare I say

            it just seems he's never there when you need him. Whether that's in h2h leagues or overall points.
