Nick Meaney (Canterbury Bulldogs) - $362,000

At a price of $362k, Nick Meaney is a bargain. He is very talented and is looking to impress his new teammates and coaches at the Bulldogs. He is expected to start at fullback which means he will be a cash cow for your team.  Projected to get 30 points in his first round, Meaney's price can go up pretty fast, so get him while he's still cheap. If he gets the minutes expected, he is a must-have.

Victor Radley (Sydney Roosters) - $506,000

If he gets the minutes, he gets the points. Radley had a breakout season for the premiership-winning Roosters and showed his brilliance both in attack and defence. With Ryan Matterson off to the Tigers, Radley will start at lock. We know that locks get the most tackles out of any position in the NRL and if Radley has a starting position there, I think it will be the same case. Although not a big tackler, he will improve on the numbers in 2019, if he gets enough game time he will be a great pick for your fantasy team.

Cameron Murray (South Sydney Rabbitohs) - $595,000

There is heaps of hype for this young gun, and last season he showed us why. With an average of 30 tackles a game, one tackle bust, 95 running meters, Murray is a natural. But don't forget that was mostly coming off the bench, so if he gets a starting position those numbers will improve. With the departure of Angus Crichton, Murray is almost certainly getting a starting position. If he gets the starting role, expect for his fantasy price to shoot up. Believe the hype, Cameron Murray is one to watch in 2019.

Blake Green (New Zealand Warriors) - $492,000

With Shaun Johnson off to the Sharks, Green is looked to carry the Warriors. He is a great playmaker and the Warriors will look to him more this season. He had an exceptional 2018 season and was a major part of the Warriors success. At an average of 34 points a game last season, Green could reach a much higher average this season.

If his kick meters improve as well as try assists, linebreaks etc then his fantasy points will go up quite quickly. He comes pretty cheap at $492k and is expected to get a lot more ball this season. So definitely buy him, because sooner or later he will be really expensive.

Brett Morris (Sydney Roosters) - $370,000

A hattrick in his first game for Roosters showed he is going to be one to watch in 2019. The Roosters are the favourites for this season and if they do as well as predicted, so will Morris. It is simple, if the Roosters do well, Morris will do well.

He is cheap this season and costs $370k at an average of 25.9 points. If Morris gets the running meters, tries, and linebreaks like he is capable he is a great cash cow and can earn the points for your team. Say Morris averages 30 points a game in the first three rounds, his price will go up to $29k. He is definitely one to have on your team if you're running short of money and need a good solid winger.

Lachlan Lewis (Canterbury Bulldogs) - $645,000

An average of 322 kick meters, 24 tackles, a tackle bust, 52 running meters a game, there's no doubt Lachlan Lewis is a fantasy king in the making. He doesn't come cheap, but his price is worth it. With an NRL season under his belt, Lewis will be looking to improve in the 2019 season. His kicking game is exceptional and he is a great playmaker and can carry his team no matter what situation.

At $645k Lewis is affordable and could be a great option to have as a captain. Last season Lewis shined against the Warriors, and if he can do the same against them in round one, he is a must-have. Kieran Foran will partner Lewis in the halves so it will be interesting to see how Lewis plays alongside him. He will be great and a huge part of the Bulldogs in 2019 as they look to climb up the ladder and improve from their 2018 season.
