NRL Fantasy 2021 Part 5 - There was no party.

Not confident in Simonsson with his base, he would need tries to be worthwhile.... I don’t think he’s averaged over 30 either in his couple of seasons of playing wing.

I'm running Hopoate there at the moment (Bird and Averillo centres), tbh your best bet if you can pay a bit more for a WFB is either him or Isaako.

I like Hopoate because he has pedigree even at centre, and is a very handy dual player. If I do end up starting with him, I intend to hold for the season if I can, as with the Dogs likely improving as a team, I think he'll get back to his 2018 and 2019 scores.

I have Hopoate and Roberts as my centres.

I have Averillo in emg’s as he covers centre and half!

If Pap goal kicks I’m likely to start with him over Teddy which allows me to have Cook and D. Fifita.

I am currently running with a Crichton Saifiti Fifita Cleary Munster Tedesco team

So we basically have the same setup, only I've got my cheapie WFB in EMG instead of starting.

I'm taking Papy regardless of goal kicking, but I'm not the most unbiased person there so take my opinion with a grain of salt.

Right now my guns are Grant + Crichton + Fifita + Cleary + Munster + Papy

Agreed, looked great, big ticker.  Not too shabby in the looks dept either just quietly.

Might find himself on the bench for R1 with Musgrove suspension and Blore injury.

You mean basically the whole melbourne spine?

What is your current draft?

Madden kicked all night in the trial, if paired with Laurie that statement would be true.

All my Warriors just changed jerseys.
Looking good, boys!

TU Munster and Isaako or
TD Lam and Gutherson

I think he's a wait & see just to check if his defense has improved. I remember when RTS came to the Warriors his defense was awful & half the time he had his head on the wrong side & he did get knocked out 1 time. But his defense did improve & he ended up being a very good tackler.

zero chance his defence improves, Drinky doesn’t have the bollocks RTS has, not interested in contact. RTS technique goes sometimes because he’s too brave, not Drinky just a shit arse non tackler. Brilliant in attack, abysmal tackler

Who will be kicking goals for Knights with no Ponga?

Hoy.

If you could guarantee him four rounds before Ponga came back I'd probably take him with the Knights' draw. But nobody can guarantee that.

Cheers mate

Marshall is planning on being on the bench this season and says he may come on as hooker. Might give Cook a rest when they are up a lot perhaps. https://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/league/124316206/benji-marshall-eyes-supersub-role-for-south-sydney-as-he-chases-another-nrl-title

"I won’t be playing 13 but if I can come off the bench to play a role through the middle that’s fine. Second hooker maybe or ball player, a bit like how Michael Morgan plays Origin when he comes off the bench. That sort of role."

Doesnt sound like he'll be relieving cook with that line.

rhinoceroo wrote:

"Second hooker or ball player, a big like Michael Morgan does at Origin" does not suggest he'll be coming on for Cook.

In fairness, he did say might, if they are up by heaps. I wouldn't be worried about Cook though.

Barnett was also mentioned along with Hoy.
