Players to Watch:
Let’s have a look at some of the players who might not yet be on your radar:
- LION Lachlan Bartlett
- Being the LIONS frontline spinner has its benefits, and Lachlan has made a splash in his first game for the club. Is this a sign of things to come in the season for Lachlan? Well you’d better get him while he’s cheap if you’re looking for a point of difference to overtake your peers.
- BRONX Michael Chun
- Always a consistent performance with both bat & ball, Michael seems to be hitting some form as the end of the season approaches. A left arm seamer who opens the bat, Michael is always in the action to earn some fantasy points for your team.
