NRL Fantasy 2020 Part 5

Can we discuss McInnes v CS9
Can they both maintain last years averages? We assume CS9 can because he just seems to keep doing it. Will he actually average a bit more because he might get a few more kick meters this year. Does getting older have an impact.
And will McInnes continue his rise in point scoring? In his prime and seems to be getting better.
I'm not starting with Hass but will start with one of these two so they will be potential captain options for me. (Afifi and Cleary in team as other C options)

The longer this off-season moves on, the lighter I go in the FRF/2RF. It is kind of an affliction. It started with dissing the value of Haas. Soon I will be looking at 228 k chumps to fill in gaps

There is just so much under-priced goodness in the backs because FanHub is trying to flip the balance of team selections. This would have to be the biggest change in terms of the game from last year. It throws some previously long-held assumptions of what a good team should look like out the window.

My strategy this year is certainly going to be gun backs and hookers, with valuable, reliable, low-priced plodders who do their job in the forwards. I may live to regret it, but no more than I have regretted my form in previous seasons.

The definition of insanity is doing things the same way each year and getting the same dodgy results.

I don't post much here, but I am a true lurker. I've pretty much read every post on this year's threads so far.

Not really fantasy related. If it's okay to ask, how old is everyone here? Always curious about the demography of internet strangers I interact with.

Cannot see how Cam King gets a bench spot. Signed purely as depth imo.

Magoulis the most likely to relieve Brailey, if he isnt up to 80 mins

I think this is most likely. Magoulias also probably will spend more time in the back row than hooker.

Yes in most circumstances.

After watching George Williams' career highlights I am going to have to fit him into my team. I seriously think he will be a gun. His defence is solid, he will have decent kick meters, and is a strong runner of the ball. Looks perfect for me

So where are the guns???

I would say we comfortably range from younglings (stormtrooper) to old farts (rabbit)
But Chewie is 234

I can’t get past that Jackson Hastings and Blake Austin dominate in Superleague. I’m not prepared to trust a UK back without seeing them in the NRL first.

Myself and Milchy have tried to start the Carty party a few times this preseason with no luck. I don't know if it's a safe option but will be one to consider TLT

I, for one, am definitely for the Carty Party if he starts. The score is one all for Carty wins vs. fails for me so a decider is most welcome.
Lock up your Vaccines, the party’s back!!!!

Hey guys this is my current team if anyone cares to analyse it.

Really want Moses or McInnes in there but can’t bring myself to drop Haas. One name I haven’t seen mentioned at all is RCG. It may be my bias/wishful thinking but I really think he is in for a big season and is at a good price. Any thoughts on this?

Half of us are older than you and the other half of us are younger than you maybe.
I suspect age doesn't effect how good or bad you are at this FF stuff.
I'll bet you are younger than me though.

In Supercoach he’s 333k and well worth a stab at that price, but 635k is a lot of money. I’d rather Pearce for 10k more- and I sure as hell don’t want Pearce!
